2. I thought they were going to use the lyrics of the song
Fuck Christmas

Don't despair,
just because it's Christmas.
Children, they're
all so gay at Christmas.

All the children on the street
hope they get something good to eat.

But for me it's not so great.

Fuck Christmas!
Fuck Christmas!
Fuck Christmas!
Fuck Christmas!
Fuck Christmas!
Fuck Christmas!
Fuck Christmas!
Fuck Christmas!
Fuck Christmas!
Fuck Christmas!
-- Fear, "Fuck Christmas", 1982

Not to hijack the thread, but it's a shame Lee Ving never learned there's a difference between being a 'punk' and being an 'asshole'. He has a very distinctive voice -- great for the genre.

5. LOVED it......
despite the language....have a four year old and the only time I cuss is alone with my husband (you gotta be fucking kidding me!) or here....

Speaking of Jew-hating, Pat Buchanan.........

Get some goddamn perspective, you little prick. When they start hunting Christians in the streets, it’ll be time to start yelling “Hate crime.” And no, it won’t count when they start chasing you with the torches. That’ll be called “The Most Wonderful Time of the Year.”

9. I tried... I really tried
and I throw a few FU's around myself

but the thing was so overburdened with them they didn't count anymore.

Never overuse a good nasty word. It's a terrible waste. The key is simplicity. It's like salting the soup too much.

21. A composer
once told me that silence was more important in a musical composition than the actual notes.

I think a good rant needs to remember that.

22. I've heard that, too. "Space" and "grey" are important in visual
compositions as well. "Space" helps define form while "grey" or "neutral" values surrounding a spot of color helps it stand out and appear more vivid by contrast.

I'll try to remember all this next time I get all worked about something and have to rant--but, then, I'll probably be too all consumed to remember.

Sometimes LOUD LOUD LOUD is good good good.

Some compositions highlight the silence that follows.

I thoroughly enjoyed this rant.

58. yes, the silences are as important
as the sound. Take it from me, as an organist/harpsichordist. The silence between the notes is important.

The rant was great, but a few too many F-s. Fundies are clueless when it comes to church/real history.

Just finished re-reading Hyam Maccoby's The Mythmaker. Birth of Jesus probably in the fall, not midwinter. ME is desert, and really cold in winter. I have seen snow in Tehran (elevation 5,000'+) when I lived there.

Happy (your favorite winter holiday).

So thanks for the idea... I had previously been planning on placing a bunch of neon signs everywhere - '$$$' and 'GIRLS GIRLS GIRLS' and 'LOOSE SLOTS' and whatnot, all flashing.

There are some fucking gaudy 'Christmas' lawn decorations around here. It would be funny if it wasn't so hideous.

35. Im rolling on the floor...
This is from the site. Hilarious.


How fucked up is Bill O’Reilly? Pretty fucked up. Everyone got so crazyfaced about him confusing a sponge and a Middle Eastern snackcake (pretty fucking funny, mind you), that they missed the scary bit: what he meant to say. Old Bill wanted to get all funky on his intern like this: (you’ll excuse my foul language, I’m quoting an award-winning newscaster here) “I’d take the other hand with the thing and put it on your pussy.”

loofah (lū’fə) noun. A natural exfoliating sponge.

exfoliate (ĕks-fō’lē-āt’) verb. To remove (a layer of bark or skin, for example) in flakes or scales; peel.

That’s right. Bill O’Rielly, fount of morals, is super familiar with the female anatomy. So much so, that he knows how good it feels to have one’s pussy exfoliated. We’re talking h – o – t, Hot. That’s exactly who I’m going to for my life lessons.

Join me in flooding Washington! Louisiana groups have launched an effort to generate 300,000 e-mails demanding category 5 protection for New Orleans and Southern Louisiana. That means effective levees and flood control projects as well as comprehensive coastal wetlands restoration to give Southern Louisiana a critical storm buffer.

50. Hey, instead you can
Decorate YOUR FITZMAS TREE - an Interactive Animation, my Best Yet!

MERRY FITZMAS! I wanted a Damn Fitzmas Tree ever since I heard the term invented RIGHT HERE, and NOW by god I have one, and you can too..

I have labored long and hard on this Interactive Animation (Flash - you may need the most recent flash plugin on your system - at least 6 I think, here's the Macromedia link for player/plugins: http://www.macromedia.com/downloads/#players ) - WHERE YOU can actually DECORATE YOUR OWN FITZMAS TREE, by dragging and dropping Ornaments and dropping them on the FITZMAS TREE - if an Ornament sticks to your "hand" it may be because of the slimy people encased within, just give it another mouse click on the tree to shake it off

There are two Flashes that interact with each other - one is the Fitzmas Tree itself, with a box FULL of decorations, the decorations being the Subjects of Indictments, Investigations, etc - something your Right Wing brother-in-law might be interested in knowing, lots of fun facts

If you click (click all over the page, lots of surprises on it) on the TITLE's of the Flashes you can go between the Tree itself, and another Flash that will load up with all the Decorations and an explanation of WHO they are, and WHAT they did.. for folks that don't know much about the Plame Outing they can get educated on the Ornaments and then click on back to the Tree and Decorate the Hell out of it

Here's two links, the first goes to the Fitzmas Tree itself, but like I said, you can click to the other Flash for more info, or a pal can get more info and Trim the Tree after.. Try this one First:

http://www.tbtmradio.com/flash/merryfitzmas.swf

or you can check out the Ornaments (but maybe miss some surprises where the Presents are) at This Link:

http://www.tbtmradio.com/flash/merryfitzmasornaments.swf

In case you're wondering what that building is in the background, it's the HAGUE, I thought it rather appropriate - and the guys in ORANGE, well, I think you'll recognize them

So ENJOY if you will, and do me a favor, keep this KICKED Please - a labor of love, but no sleep for about Three days either.. Pass it around to anyone you think might be interested, but Please also come back here and Let me Know what YOU think of this work, I scrambled brains doing this

And don't forget to open the presents under the FITZMAS TREE, I wrapped them special just for YOU..
