The Constitution of the United States 2.0 

As there have lately been so many changes to the basic functioning of the United States — a shift of powers here, a whittling away of rights there, it seems a good time to issue a revised version of the basic operating document.  This is the real Republican Contract with America.We the Republicans of the United States, in Order to prevent any challenge to our continued Supremacy, free ourselves from the Confines of Justice, placate the Tranquil masses, degrade the general Welfare, and secure the Blessings of War Profiteering for ourselves and our Friends, do ordain and establish Constitution 2.0 for the United States of America.

ARTICLE I
Section 1V for constitutional reform!
All legislative Powers are hereby ceded to the Executive branch, though the Congress will still make a Grand Noise and wave their arms as if they give a Damn.

Section 2
The House of Representatives will consist of those best able to Lick the Boots of the Lobbyists and Corporations lining their pockets.  

No one can be a Representative unless Fox News says that he is a Patriotic American,

Representation shall be apportioned based on numbers of people willing to Pay for the Privilege.  The actual Enumeration shall be made whenever it is of benefit to Republicans.

Representatives will choose a Speaker and other Officers by how willing these Officers are to turn a blind eye to the Crimes of Republicans and how Loudly they will Declare the Daily Talking Points.

Section 3
The Senate shall… oh hell, just see Section 1.

The Vice President shall be President of the Senate and can use any Four Letter Word he wants in talking to Senators, so F-You, Leahy.

Section 4
Elections will be held whenever Diebold is prepared to provide the Right Results.

Section 5
Each House shall make a mockery of policing itself and shall be free to throw out all the Democrats they want, but Republicans who engage in Pederasty shall be protected.  

Section 6
Republican Senators and Representatives will enjoy a Revolving Door of organizations who pay for votes, and give them jobs any time they are taking a break.

Section 7Unabomber, constitutional critic
The House and Senate shall apply a large Rubber Stamp to every suggestion issued by the President.

Section 8
The House shall raise all the taxes they want on the poor and middle-class so long as they leave the Rich alone.

The Congress will dodge all responsibility for decisions on War.

Section 9
The rules of Immigration shall be set in a way that protects Republican majorities.

Section 10
Any treaties are not worth the paper they are Written on.

ARTICLE II
Section 1
The President can do anything he wants, that’s what’s good about being President.  Heh heh.

Section 2
The President can wear any uniform he wants and pretend to fly planes.

Section 3
The President and the Congress should split some beers now and then, but he doesn’t have to invite any Democrats.

Section 4Osama bin Clinton
Having sex is a good Reason to get rid of a President.  Lying, being Incompetent, Wasting Billions, and getting Thousands of Americans Killed, is fine.

ARTICLE III
This Article was full of that Judge stuff, so we just took it out.

ARTICLE IV
We can declare any place we want part of the United States so they can call their stuff “Made in the USA,” but don’t go thinking they get representation.

ARTICLE V
Amendments to the Constitution will only be for Really Important Stuff, like how scared we are of Homos and Foreign People.

ARTICLE VI
You can ignore any part of this Constitution if it gets in the way of Profit or something that gets Republicans elected.

ARTICLE VII
People are supposed to be afraid all the Time, otherwise they do too damn much Thinking.

Foley: “If I were one of these sickos…”

Well guess what? You are!

Here, via Fark, is some beautifully ironic video of America’s Premier Pedo, former (resigned in disgrace) Representative Mark Foley, talking about tracking down online pervs who are after America’s children.

Just like he is.

“If I were, uh, one of these sickos, I’d be, uh, nervous with America’s Most Wanted on my trail.”

website o’ the day: Celebrities Eating Dot Com

Affleck Big Mac Attack!

Oh wow, I am just speechless with how wonderful this is. Not only is it BEN AFFLECK, someone who we’ve wanted represented here at Celebrities Eating for far too long, but it’s BEN AFFLECK EATING A FUCKING BIG MAC. High five, internet. High five.

Yes, it’s just what you think it is, although perhaps allowing Nicole Richie more webspace than you’d have thought, from the look of her. Still, it’s a site about celebrities eating, not celebrities keeping food down. via Gawker.

(television) star wars

Nifty Keeno! Television will change our world forever!Is there something in the Ontario water that causes this? Is it that the radio sucks so badly? Is it Cheeveresque or O’Neillian fear of the family tensions that play themselves out more confrontationally in conversation than in silence?

Why does everyone in Ontario enter their house, remove their shoes and, before even taking off their jacket, turn on the television?

And what is the last thing they do every night? Read a bedtime story to their children? Hit the singles chatroooms? Enjoy a snifter of brandy and a wide-ranging discussion of the physical substance of the various ranks of angels? No.

They turn off the tv.

If there was something we used in Vancouver this much, we’d just have it on a timer or a motion detector, although given the propensity of people to become motionless in front of a television, perhaps that wouldn’t work. Yeah, they could use some of these morning shows to immobilize the enemy, particularly now that the Geneva Conventions are considered unconventional for Americans.

Timer, timer is better. On at 7am, off at midnight.

I have a couple of friends who came from the West but who now live in Ontario, and they, too, have succumbed to this bizzare and disturbing fetishistic behaviour. This, plus the fact that I haven’t the slightest hint of it and my gene pool basically sloshes up and down the Ottawa Valley for the last three hundred years like water in a bowl, is what convinces me it’s something environmental.

And you can bet it’s not the quality of the broadcasts. After two days, that possibility has been thoroughly ruled out.

Now, maybe it’s something in the air of BC, but we out there have a marked tendency to passive-aggressiveness of an almost pathalogical order. Would we ever tell you off? No, perish the thought. Would we see you every day for drinks after work and brunch on Sunday and tell everyone in our running group how much we hate you?

You bet. Much more polite.

So I have developed a unique coping system for visits from Ontarians. You always try to make the place nice for your guests and show off the many ways your town is different from where they live, so that they go home with the definite sense of having actually left home in the first place.

So the first thing I do is I hide the remote.

Hummerers call Hummerhaters “retarded”

 SUV vs SUV

Yeah, that’s going to make the PR top ten list for sure. via Fark.

When Sonnie Martin recently broke down in Calgary in her Hummer H2, she said she was met with a string of horns, fingers, obscenities and rude comments.

“On that day, I was embarrassed to be a Calgarian,” she wrote to the Calgary Herald.

However, the letters in reply weren’t sympathetic.

“She drives one of the most potent, aggressive and ostentatious symbols of conspicuous consumption possible,” wrote one person…

Evidence of the seething hatred for the vehicle can be found at the Sierra Club’s hummerdinger.com or at FUH2.com, a Web site with 3,636 photos of people giving Hummers and their drivers the middle finger.

and, of course, at Ihumpedyourhummer.com, one of my personal faves. And what was the Hummercommunity’s response to this pervasive anti-Hummer sentiment?

“For people to point at the Hummer and say, ‘Bad, bad, bad,’ that’s retarded,” says Andy Drever, who sells between 18 and 25 Hummers a month at Shaw GMC, the only licensed Hummer dealer in southern Alberta.

Yep: don’t hate them because they drive Hummers. Hate them because they’re assholes.
