I dumped my girlfriend over FOX

I dumped my girlfriend Maureen over FOX News, and would do it again.

In fact, I made up with her the next day just so I could break up with her again for her poor taste in television. Oh! had she been a crack whore, or a drunkard, we would have made it! But no... She was one of them now. She was gone from the world of the good, or redeemable.

The phone call started innocently enough.

"I can't believe you hate FOX News. I love FNC! What are you, a liberal? Don, don't you love your country? Aren't you worried about our health care holocaust if Obama gets his way?"

"No. Glenn Beck is. I worry about kool-aid drinking idiots who like Glenn Beck."

"So," she said contemptuously, "you are a liberal."

"And you're a Republican."

"Not so. I'm a Libertarian."

"As for the question about loving my country, I love it enough to know the difference between loving your country, and loving the corrupt leaders of political parties we can elect and remove. A political party is not to be confused with a country."

"Maureen, a Libertarian is a Republican that's pro-abortion. Now, name the Libertarian presidential candidate for 2008."

There was a long pause.

"You're missing the point!" she blurted.

"Did you vote Libertarian? No, of course not. You voted McCain."

"And you're a liberal."

"Why, yes, I am. Maureen, you've known me for years. I'm pro-life, like all liberals," I said sarcastically. "I believe abortion takes a human life, even if done at conception...like all liberals."

"But you're a Democrat."

"I detest what Republicans have come to stand for. I mean, do you know how rotten you have to be to make the Democrats look good? The democrats killed their own president, they were the knife in Brutus' hand. Even so, they are the lesser evil."

Brutus and Bluto, respectively.

"I'm trying to talk about something serious here, and you come up with this crazy shit about Popeye's nemeses having a role in Kennedy's murder."

"You mean Bluto, you Malkin dropping?"

"Yeah. Is that a joke? how could you work him into such a serious conversation?"

"Maureen, I was talking about Brutus, whom with several other senators in ancient Rome betrayed Caesar and stabbed him to death. How can you confuse Bluto and Brutus? Seriously? One is a cartoon character and one is a historical figure. Oh, yeah, I know! let me guess.. YOU WATCH FOX NEWS."

"At least I'm not misled by the liberal media. You believe everything you hear."

"I just heard you say something really, really stupid. I believe that, yes."

"You don't love our country. I see that now."

"As for the question about loving my country, I love it enough to know the difference between loving your country, and loving the corrupt leaders of political parties we can elect and remove. A political party is not to be confused with a country."

"You sound like a socialist. Do you believe in socialism?"

By this time I was certain she could not define what a socialist is.

"What, my dear woman, is a socialist?"

"An elitist high society type; people of social prominence who spend all their time and resources entertaining or being entertained."

My jaw dropped. I thought she was kidding.

"Oh," I said finally. "You mean a socialite. A socialist is someone who believes in the teachings of Karl Marx. Socialism."

"Yes, but socialites gave us socialism and communism."

"No, I believe you mean socialists gave us socialism."

"You're wrong."

"I think this is where we part ways. You may be hot but the risk we'll have some truly dumb ass children is too high. You'd give Einstein a brood of tards. We're through. Don't ever call me again."

I have never met an intelligent FOX News fan. I mean it. I know plenty of intelligent conservatives and plenty of dumb liberals, and plenty of smart liberals and dumb conservatives, but the FOX News fan is a different animal altogether. It is a dumb, deaf and blind animal that prides itself on its lack of senses. The FNC fan is a cultist.

Well, actually, it's more than that. After a careful study of FOX News personalities, I realized the real issue isn't one about parties or government. The real issue is a tendency for a FNC infected soul to gravitate towards those who appeal to the worst in human nature. Full of hate for the poor? FOX loves you. Does the concept of responsibility for our national ills, because of your votes for bad legislators, offend you? FOX News says you aren't to blame. Do you cast your hate and blame on your misfortunes on people infinitely worse off than you? FOX wants you to anchor a show.

FNC pretty much advertises itself as a Christian channel. But I have no doubt if Jesus were here right now, they'd be the Sanhedrin calling for his death.

They would be Pharisees and Sadducees rebuking him for healing the sick on the Sabbath. Like Jim Jones, they will misuse the bible to kill believers. It's a cult of ignorance, hypocrisy and hate.

No matter how pretty a girl may be, when she channels FOX News, she's ugly as sin.

Charlie Sheen's 9/11 Video Message to President Obama

editor@impiousdigest.com (JAG) — Sat, 19 Sep 2009 22:23:23 PDT

"Charlie Sheen addresses the President about 9/11 in a special video message, shortly after releasing his "20 Minutes with the President," specifically addressing 20 key points that need to be answered by a truly independent investigation.

"Sheen's message is a call to action, not only for President Obama to address the pertinent issues, but for activists everywhere to pressure their representatives and leaders, wherever they may be, to 'be on the right side of history' and take back the country through peaceful revolution and true grassroots dissent."

GAWKER: Glenn Beck Ad Dollars Crater on Boycott

"Fox's stock response to the boycott has been that, while some advertisers may have moved their spots to other shows on the network, no one was pulling ads from Fox outright, so the whole hubbub wasn't affecting the network's revenues.

A Scientific Challenge to Bill Maher (UPDATE: Fuck You Bill and Arianna Edition)

editor@impiousdigest.com (Administrator) — Thu, 02 Oct 2008 19:01:43 PDT

It Was All Under Your Nose. But What Isn't?

Bill "Nostrildamus" Maher. Dayum! If I had a snout like that, I suppose I'd be bitter and godless too. I mean, seriously, look at that nose, and try not to stare. He picks his nose and his entire fist disappears.

Now, our side could be wrong about 9/11, and everything Bill Maher says is perfectly correct. Not only am I willing to concede this, I don't write or say anything without acknowledging this obvious reality. That's what makes Maher and most of us different: he speaks with the arrogant certainty of fools, as opposed to the measured uncertainty of experience. This latter attribute by default, doesn't make us better people or morally superior, but it does make our argument stronger. Personally, I'm man enough to admit I could be wrong and if need be apologize to those I have affronted in my zeal. To those of you who know Bill, do you think he could? And how does this smug certainty make him any different than the knee-jerk, tea bagging knuckle-draggers on the fringe right? They're also prone to tantrums if you suggest they may be wrong.

But Bill. You're just a pundit, at bottom, nothing more, and Arianna is your peer. Arianna at least has good writers at her news blog, but ironically, her own entries suck and are so obvious they're inexcusably bland.

Why Coincidence Theorists are Pussies

editor@impiousdigest.com (JAG) — Sun, 06 Sep 2009 09:50:23 PDT

A conspiracy theorist is subjective and relies on partial facts and will avoid facts that run counter to what he wants to believe, or is inclined to believe. Regardless, he is the most likely of the following to find the truth. A prosecutor is a professional conspiracy theorist, because he specializes in prosecuting criminal conspiracies, such as mob hits or fraud.

What a Bush Supporter Sounds like

"Cause in the Bush administration, he has government funding for small business owners, which is really good. People, we live in California! this is where we live! do we have to pay for the land ? the food is free? On the east coast, they have slaves and made in China but on the west coast, the new west coast we don't believe in that because we believe in the Union, and that's what we are..."

When Moderates Are Impediments to Justice

editor@impiousdigest.com (JAG) — Sat, 20 Jun 2009 16:25:27 PDT

"First, I must confess that over the last few years I have been gravely disappointed with the ... moderate who is more devoted to 'order' than to justice; who prefers a negative peace which is the absence of tension to a positive peace which is the presence of justice; who constantly says 'I agree with you in the goal you seek, but I can't agree with your methods of direct action;' who paternalistically feels he can set the timetable for another man's freedom..."

The Strange Curse of the Beast, Aleister Crowley

editor@impiousdigest.com (JAG) — Sat, 20 Jun 2009 06:09:54 PDT

Inset are the lyrics to "Mr. Crowley", Ozzy Osborne's most popular, or infamous work, depending on your anal retentiveness. The "maidens call" I would assume is a reference to the Whore of Babylon, in the end times; the Apocalypse. After all, Crowley called himself the Beast of the Apocalypse and signed all of his letters 666 (the number has a Masonic value, incidentally, and Crowley was a 33rd degree Scottish Rite mason). The white horse is heroin. Horse is slang for heroin. Crowley was an addict so tolerant of the drug after years of abuse he died taking ten times the fatal amount for most men.

Militant Segregationist (Klan) Link in RFK Killing

editor@impiousdigest.com (Administrator) — Wed, 26 Mar 2008 05:13:12 PDT

The fatal shot was fired inches from Robert Kennedy's right ear. Sirhan shot from the front, several feet away. Thane Eugene Caesar stood behind RFK, with the same model gun. Caesar was a staunch segregationist who was hired at the last minute to protect a man he hated, a Kennedy. (In 1968, presidential candidates had no Secret Service protection.) Caesar also worked for the George Wallace campaign. So who's Wallace?
