News: Political Correctness, Part 2.
As you can tell from my previous issue, I do not think highly of "Political Correctness". One big issue is the semantics of the term, because of the use of "correct" meaning that there is an actual correct type of speech, which is, of course, highly subjective, but semantics aside, there is another idea. I believe that All Men are Created Equal. Note that I mean "men" as shorthand for "All Humans". I mean that all human beings are, on the inside, created Equally (The one mistake in that line, and I hope I can get off semantics), not "all non-WASP, non-males, non-white, non-straight, and non-disabled/handicapped/handicapable (yech) persons are created equally." Soon, It will be seen that wheelchair-bound black lesbians are the best type of people. I can see where it comes from, because on the airwaves 50 years ago, Amos and Andy made Britney Spears' Media Whorage seem like Thomas Pynchon-level reclusiveness. Now, the new black stereotype is Spike Lee. There is no reason for White People to claim they are the greatest race on Earth, because of the fact that Blacks are less likely to sunburn because of their skin color and for those who think America is God's gift to Whitey, The Native Americans were here first. On to feminism: Sure, the barefoot, pregnant, and beaten senseless ideal of women doesn't appeal to me, but I don't see why the male becoming submissive and beaten senselessly by somebody who idolizes the woman who shot Warhol should be any improvement. I once saw an episode of All in the Family in which Gloria joined Women's Lib, Michael was furious, and Gloria was accusing of acting like a male chauvinist, and Michael counteracts with accusations of Feminism. This begs the question: why is one kind of self righteous gender supremacy better than another? Apparently, because it is more mainstream. And Religion: reading an extremely contradictory, complicated, and long book literally will solve your problems. YEAH RIGHT. On the other hand, Why change the name of Christmas to a flurry of holidays in the last week of December? Homosexuality: I am straight, but there is no point in having me discriminating against those who aren't, except for the Religion embedded into America. And the Disabled/handicapped/handicapable: I have no problem with you whatsoever. I just wouldn't want to be one of you. That's it with my list of Special Interest Groups. Now, The last time a nation was this much on the same page was Nazi Germany, not counting Oceania in /1984/ by George Orwell. Also, the Language changes like the phases of the Moon. Verdict: The Amos and Andy, Barefoot and Pregnant, Theocracy is an unacceptable extreme. Equally unacceptable is a nation of black supremacist lemmings of all races who have memorized the Vagina Monologues. So remember, If the Klan Meets up near you, turn up your stereo and close the curtains, peeking occasionally to see if they have left or if the Nation of Islam suddenly collides with them, in which case, keep the cameras rolling and give me the tapes.
Band Name of the Day: The Whole Nother Set of BS. This comes from a line in the Aqua Teen Hunger Force episode The Broodwich. Two demons are chatting and at one point the words "That's a whole nother set of Bull (Beep) i'm sure" come out. This is, of course, very memorable, to me at least.
Film idea of the day: Director's Cut. A filmmaker has a film drastically altered from his original vision and attacks the producers. Will he be found guilty in a court of law?
Review of the Day: Mickey Blue Eyes. In it, Hugh Grant plays an Auctioneer who marries a mobster (Jimmy Caan of Godfather fame)'s daughter. It is particularly memorable for Caan's son's violent paintings sold for upwards of $100,000. Also for a scene in which Caan sings and I think "Maybe if he starts a singing career, he wouldn't need crime."
Quote of the Day: "Those who would give up Essential Liberty to purchase a little Temporary Safety, deserve neither Liberty nor Safety."

This is another satire on Creationism, Intelligent Falling.
