Zen and the art of motorcycle maintenance, abridged 12

Putting on a flashy white jump suit and vaulting over a row of school buses will never make up for a lonely childhood.  Figuratively speaking. 

University of Colorado Ethnic Studies professor and anti-American firebrand Ward Churchill and 70s Kung-fu expert and counterculture icon Billy Jack discuss the semiotics of Native Americanism

“Did I ever tell you about the time I cut my hair short, Billy?  Turns out I looked so unlike an Indian that until my hair grew back I took to wearing a Poarch Creek porcupine roach headdress* and ribbon shirt just so people wouldn’t mistake me for a Norwegian sailor.”* “I hear you, brother.  Before I started wearing the hat? I would get propositioned in Arizona public toilets like,

Random Alan Colmes fantasy, Monday, March 7, 12:36 PM EST

Just admit that Jimmy Carter is a man whose accomplishments should be celebrated by every American, Hannity, and I’ll release you from my patented Colmesian Figure-Eight Leglock of Death…!

Today’s moment of triumphalist schadenfreude (presented ironically)

Wait, I thought it was we heavy-handed Americans—with our distended beer bellies and our fascistic PATRIOT ACT and our NASCAR-drunk lynch mobs roaming the streets disenfranchising brown-skinned voters—who were supposed to be the intolerant ones… Man.  We bumbling cowboys can’t even do hatred right.

Former teen idol Leif Garrett comments on the news that Syrian troops will withdraw to the Bekaa Valley in eastern Lebanon by the end of March

Garrett:  “Well, speaking off the record here, you can’t just pull back and expect that to do any good.  You really do have to pull all the way out.  Trust me on this.  Or else you wind up spending an afternoon you could be windsurfing in some stupid clinic in the Valley, signing autographs for a bunch of knocked-up Brooks College chicks while Joyce Hyser is in the back getting

Through the Looking Glass with Giuliana Sgrena, 3

Today’s revelations, courtesy the indefatigable Ms Sgrena (translated): The car kept on the road, going under an underpass full of puddles and almost losing control to avoid them. We all incredibly laughed. It was liberating. Losing control of the car in a street full of water in Baghdad and maybe wind up in a bad car accident after all I had been through would really be a tale I would

Scenes from my driveway, continued x 53

Deadbeat neighbor: “I’m thinking about buying a cowboy hat.  A nice one, too. Fitted.  And some kick-ass snakeskin boots.” Me: “Finally saw Urban Cowboy, did you?” Deadbeat neighbor: “Yeah. Oh—and a really huge brass belt buckle!  With a pair of boot-cut Wrangler jeans and a couple of those snap-front shirts with the western piping.” Me: “Sure.  May as well shoot the works.” Deadbeat neighbor: “Maybe even a horse.” Me: “Uh

Creating new terrorists: Chimpy McHitlerBurton’s smirky rodeo ride through history continues, #8

From the Jerusalem Post: “Syria to Expel Terror Leaders” Bowing to international pressure, Syria has ordered head of Hamas politburo Khaled Mashaal and Islamic Jihad leader Ramadan Shallah to leave Damascus. YOU ARE DRIVING GOVERNMENTS OF THE REGION RIGHT INTO THE ARMS OF THE TERRORISTS AND THEIR ENABLERS, MR BUSH!  YOUR INVASION OF IRAQ AND YOUR SO-CALLED “WAR ON TERROR” ARE THE SINGLE GREATEST GIFT YOU COULD HAVE GIVEN AL

Through the Looking Glass with Giuliana Sgrena, 2 (with interpolations)

From Bloomberg News: Giuliana Sgrena, the Italian reporter wounded on March 4 by U.S.-led forces after she was freed from her captors in Iraq, said the military may have targeted her deliberately. Question 1: why? Sgrena, 57, who had been held for one month in captivity, was injured and Italian intelligence officer Nicola Calipari was killed when coalition forces fired on their vehicle as it approached a Baghdad checkpoint. Writing

BREAKING:  DEMOCRATIC LAWMAKERS TO CONGRESS:  “FOLLOW THAT GAY PORN COCK!”
