Why I don’t listen to Hannity

I did tonight, on my way home from work, and some numbskull came on to say “I hate you, because you’re always wrong, ans you should be taken off the air. I’d rather have 8 years of bill clinton and peace than 8 years of George bush and war” another gem was “Our economy is in a shambles, hundreds of thousands of soldiers will die because of George Bush” etc.

THIS is the enemy, folks. Before we can deal effectively with the splodeydopes here and abroad, we have to figure out some way to deal with morons like this. I cannot imagine how Hannity stays civil- I’d broadcast the morons’ home phone and address. This is indicative of most of my dismay with this country: The MSM and the most prominent liberals keep coming up with flat out bullshit like this, and nobody but a few talk show hosts and a few bloggers call them on it. I’m very tired of this.

On doctors

You know, I have always had little use for the medical profession. As a rule? they seem to be guessing. I have been through five doctors in ten years, and I have yet to find one with their head fully out of their ass. I dislike dealing with doctors on any level, but here are the “doctorisims” that I find most disagreeable:

1: You need to lose some weight.

Well, duh fucking hey. I weigh 350 lbs. I am active, and strong, but I’m big. Any suggestions as to how I might do this? Oh, while you’re thinking, i have tried every single thing there is to try, excepting surgery and heroin addiction. There is no “diet” I can stick with for any length of time without going barking mad. My body is particularly efficient at storing fat, I can only lose weight around 900 calories a day.

2: Eat less, exercise more.

Eat less than what? it’s not as if I’m a glutton, I eat less than most people I know who are thin. I have a sweet tooth, and it wins some times, but it isn’t easy when at least three days a week someone drops by the office with four or five dozen Krispy Kremes.

Exercise more than what? I perennially have some home improvement project going on, and I work at work and come home and work at home. What sort of exercise should I do? Oh, I also bicycle and spend three nights a week weight training.

3: take this, that, the other drug for your gout/acid reflux/cholestrol.

Sure, and by the way, deal with the side effects, collateral damage. I snore, they prescribed a CPAP machine. Imagine strapping a giant scorpion to your face while you sleep, and you have the CPAP effect. I have muscle aches and pains, they send me to a cardiologist to get a goddamned Angiogram. How about trying to help me deal with those things in other ways; how about giving me reasonable dietary changes that will help with this or that. No, just drugs and deal with it. Sorry.

Maybe I should find an acupuncturist. Look, everyone is different. Some people can eat like hogs and weigh 180 lbs, some people can eat like birds and weigh 350. It’s that category I fall in, and everything I do to try to change that is near to impossible.

Religion of Peace

You know, it’s really just a few fundamentalist muslims that are the trouble; as a whole, Islam is a peaceful religion.

YEAH, RIGHT.

That’s why they issued a fatwah against Chris Byrne of Anarchangel.

Yes, folks, this so called ‘religion of peace” is making what the FBI calls “credible death threats” against a FUCKING BLOGGER. Anyone still don’t get that these asses need to be eliminated? Anyone?

Hat tip the Curmudgeon
