Anonymous will beat Scientology

Despite being Nazi Klansman (according to Paul Fetch*), Anonymous ('The Internet Hate Machine', according to Fox 11) will beat the Cult of Scientology. Just as sure as the Pats will win the Superbowl.

Media Farm, this would be a much more interesting thing to cover than the Boston Globe's interpretation of Deval Patrick's latest well minded but ineffectual policy. Follow the Mudkip.

Forgiving everyone leaves you with a lot of time on your hands

Nixon had his enemies list. So did the Punisher (although he was much more proactive). Gossipy everyones tell stories about that goddamn bitch/asshole at work who just doesn't get how to ring up a double whopper with mayo. Let's face it: it's fun to be pissed.

If you have Jewish relatives (and you do, especially if you live in Israel, Sharon MA or an oddly litigious family in Santa Fe) you know that bitching about this, that, the weather, the Mexicans/Palestinians/Property Taxes, overlong lists is a great use of your time.

The people who don't spend all their time angry at this goddamn world[1] are busy putting up barns and actually practicing Christianity. Yup, those wily Amish ("Jews without a head for numbers" as my uncle calls them) get positively 'high' on forgiveness. Mennonites believe that being angry hurts the person who's angry, but doesn't do a thing to the person who ruined absolutely everything. [Non-Wikipedian Citation]

This view is odd, mostly because it contrasts with our Hongan's advice to stuff action figures full of pins+needles[2].

What are we supposed to do now that we're not venting, avenging or simply fist-shaking a world that's out of control?

I guess there's hanging out with people, making new friends, ummm, well there's some voting if you're into that kind of thing. Meaningless sex is always a good use of time, although the type of person who powers-through blogs on their time off probably isn't chomping at the bit to get back to their swede-filled apartment.

So I guess that's the moral of the blog: better to whack off than be pissed off. Fuck ya'll, I'm

OUT

1 No offense, Letters Page. But we are talking about you. Chug pole
2 "Needles: we got the loop you need" is a perfectly usable slogan, but it's copywrited. Put that in your pincushion, copywriter.

I want those photos of WHITE PEOPLE on my desk but 5pm, Parker, or you'll be out of a job!

I don't have any journalistic experience to speak of. I'm a wildcard, a maverick! I'm a speaker for America's bored, nihilistic youth generation that, when mobilized, is increasingly ineffective against the gov't!

In school, I used to say 2-4-6-8, I don’t want to integrate! Eventually, the national guard made me learn calculus.

The Troubled Times of Rodney King, Part 1 Billion

Thanks again to Maeve Reston for the story. What's interesting here isn't that it was a celebrity+crime+bicycle story (three of the eight 'Big News' buttons). But it was important because they listed what our civil tolerance friend has been up to since his infamous beating and speaking tour:

For a moment, he seemed headed toward a public role as a voice against police brutality -- speaking to students in Southern California and at rallies intended to draw attention to police abuse. He ruminated to Los Angeles Times Magazine in the late 1990s about aspirations to start a summer surfing youth foundation in which children of different races could spend time together and "make this world a better place to live." But King continually struggled with legal and substance-abuse troubles: * In May 1991, he was arrested on suspicion of trying to run over a vice officer who allegedly found him with a transvestite prostitute in Hollywood, but no charges were filed. * In 1993, King entered an alcohol rehabilitation program and was placed on probation after crashing his vehicle into a block wall in downtown Los Angeles with a blood-alcohol level twice the legal limit. * In July 1995, he was arrested by Alhambra police, who alleged that he hit his wife with his car, knocking her to the ground. He was sentenced to 90 days in jail after being convicted of hit-and-run. * In 1999, he was sentenced to 90 days in San Bernardino County jail and put on probation for four years after a domestic dispute involving one of his daughters and her mother. He was required to attend a batterer's treatment program and a child-abuse program, according to court records. * In 2001, King was ordered to attend a yearlong drug treatment program after he was arrested for indecent exposure and being under the influence of PCP at Ganesha Park in Pomona. * In April 2003, Rialto police watched him weave through traffic in his Ford Expedition at more than 100 mph before plowing through a fence and into a San Bernardino house. He pleaded guilty to being under the influence of PCP and was sentenced to a six-month drug rehabilitation program followed by a 120-day jail sentence. * That October, Rialto police arrested King on suspicion of punching his girlfriend in the stomach. Susan Mickey, a spokeswoman for the San Bernardino County district attorney, said the office declined to prosecute the domestic violence case in 2003 and a subsequent September 2005 domestic violence case because of a lack of evidence. In the September 2005 incident, King was arrested on suspicion of threatening to kill one of his daughters and her mother after the two women argued with his then-girlfriend, the Associated Press reported at the time. In the last six to eight months, Rialto police have been to King's home numerous times, but for quieter calls. "It was normal neighborhood stuff . . . drinking and loud parties, stuff like that," said Lewis, the Rialto police sergeant. ---

Thanks, Rodney.

(Oh, and the surfing program never materialized.)

I don't get anything if I recruit more listeners; you're rewarded by listening. And you can call in; it's an old school form of blogging! [Not really].
