COMMENTARY: Fiscally I’m A Right-Wing Nutjob, But On Social Issues I’m Fucking Insanely Liberal

May 28, 2011

From a very reliable source:

The world is a complicated place, and in this day and age, you just can’t expect a person to fall on the same political side of every issue he is confronted with. Things are more nuanced than that, and the average American might think one way about one topic, and a completely different way about another. For instance, when it comes to fiscal issues, I consider myself to be a rabid, foaming-at-the-mouth, right-wing lunatic. But on the social front, I’m a completely out-of-his-mind, wacked-out liberal loon.

It’s all about striking a balance, really.

Take finances. It is my opinion that all taxes whatsoever should be abolished, and that everything relating to money in any way should be privatized, including the minting of coinage. Thus, each American should have his own system of currency and his own bank named after him to maintain that currency, and anyone whose personal currency system fails in the unfettered free market should be left to die bleeding and penniless in the street, with his family crying helplessly at his side. Also, corporations should be able to buy whatever and whomever they want, and at the end of every year the richest and most powerful corporation should be allowed to physically demolish 15 other corporations that it wishes to see destroyed, murdering all of the various employees of said corporations in any way it sees fit. I guess you could say I’m a fucking nutcase conservative when it comes to this kind of stuff, but I do believe it’s an ideology that has its limits.


Happy Memorial Day Weekend!

May 28, 2011

As five fighter jets fly over commemorating Memorial Day to the North Side of Chicago and all the fans at the Cubs came today, I wish you a Happy Memorial Day.

Tina’s wearing her father’s army blouse shirt all weekend, the same one he was awarded his purple heart in.

And I’m sending thanks out to all the brave men and women who died to help make this great nation what it is.

I hope to write a little today and tomorrow, but for the most part, I’m going to enjoy the weekend with friends and family.

Last night we hosted a game night with two couples. We cooked out. Today we’re going to another BBQ at my friend Bill’s. And Tomorrow, the owners of the bar where I play pool are having a cookout way out in the suburbs.

Monday, I think we’ll memorialize the troops with the some housework.

:)

What are you doing for Memorial Day?
