Bond Villains

http://www.cbsnews.com/media/10-of-the-worlds-most-expensive-homes/10/

If there were any justice, or "karma" in the world, we would come to know all the billionaires of the world as villains in a James Bond movie, and we would have a Bond or two to take them down.

But we refuse to recognize them for what they are. And our "Bonds" are people like Edward Snowden, and whistleblowers all over the world , who are thought of as radical outcasts and lawbreakers.

There is no "karma", there will be no justice. And the Blofelds, Daxes, and Goldfingers of the world will just gain more wealth and power.

Christian Projection

No gay rights advocate has ever killed, nor beheaded a Christian in the name of gay rights. Can anti-gay rights Christian activists claim the same thing about gays? Oops. Fuck-twit.

Complaints Department

Let's have everyone quit all this complaining about it being such a cold winter. This is NOT a cold winter. I repeat, THIS IS NOT A COLD WINTER!
(It's still fall, and it's one fuck of a cold fall!)

The Future Sucks

The world seems to be coming apart. It's getting to the point where I can't tell insanity from stupidity anymore, but I know there's far too much of both. And we're set up for much more to come. And there's not a god-damned thing we can do about it.

2016 rolls around, and this country will be dumb and confused enough to actually elect a Santorum or Huckabee to the White House. Mark my words. Watch this space.

If you think this is too cynical, you're not paying attention.

In the Stock Market?

Find undervalued companies and buy like crazy right now. In five months, start selling and shorting the market. The Dow is going to go nuts on the GOP victory and their hubris will create a bubble that will crash the economy again pretty damn quickly.

Pit Bulls and Hockey Moms

There's a new Sarah Palin on the prowl:

And if she doesn't run for a higher office, she could hang out as the Senate resident idiot for a long time, and do a lot of damage.

Ebola

  I was thinking to myself, gee, this thing really could slip out of control. Woke this morning to news that a second healthcare worker from the Dallas hospital tested positive.
  How many undiagnosed cases in Africa? How hard is it for West Africans to travel to other parts of the world? I'm not saying a Stephen King/Robin Cook horror story here. But this thing has legs.

Of course, I'm sitting here in Ohio, and posted this before I saw this:

Were you or anyone you know on Frontier Airlines Flight 1143 from Cleveland to Dallas-Fort Worth on Monday? Call the CDC at 1-800-CDC INFO (1-800-232-4636), then call our newsroom at 330-788-2456. Or, if you or any of your relatives were in Akron between Oct. 8 and 13 and are worried about Ebola, give us a call.

Update:
And, as 9/11/01 caused much more damage than just the original attack did because of the idiocy of the American electorate and our propensity for over-reaction, this crisis will damage us in ways far beyond the reach of the virus itself:
