When are we gonna learn?

When will the intelligent people in America say they've had enough? When will we rise up and smite that jackasses and idiots who vote this stupid corrupt bastards into office? Where is our breaking point?

We're sitting here watching these MORONS hand over BILLIONS of dollars to companies that have REPEATEDLY shown they can't handle money. AIG and the bonuses. JPMorganChase and the new corporate jets. The only change I've seen is the corruption is more out in the open now that dumbass Obama is running things. I won't call him president. He's not, anymore than I am. This man is beyond a joke. We're in the worst economic crisis possibly in history and the dipshits in America who just want a handout voted this dumbass in. And YOU SEE WHAT YOU ELECTED DICKHEADS?

How's that HOPE and CHANGE working out for ya? Huh?

It is time for the American people to put their foot down and tell the government enough is enough. They won't relinquish power. Anyone with a usable brain cell knows that, we'll have to take it from them. We can't vote them out, they spread like roaches.

I know, it's a pipe dream. Americans are too goddamn lazy to revolt. Fucking idiots.

All I can say is, if we don't impeach Obama we're screwed. I've never seen a more incompetent bumbler.

Utter Insanity

Anyone who knows me knows I love books. Especially Science Fiction and Fantasy. I've also been reading a lot of History lately and am continually disturbed at the parallels between the late Roman Republic and contemporary America.

But that's not what I think is insane. As I said, I'm a huge SciFi fan. I'm totally hooked on Peter F. Hamilton's Commonwealth books. The Night's Dawn Trilogy and the latest ones 'The Dreaming Void' and 'The Temporal Void' (which I haven't read yet). My point here is that, being a SciFi fan (and a nerd) I really enjoy SciFi TV shows. Okay, some of them. Star Trek and Buck Rogers (for old school fans) and Stargate (SG-1 more than Atlantis although my daughter loves Atlantis). I'm a big Dr. Who fan as well. Of the shows still on the air (I think) I love Eureka. That show kills me sometimes.

So anyway, the point is, I have spent quite a bit of time watching the SciFi channel. And I read on slashdot that they are changing the name to 'SyFy'. What the FUCK? Seriously? Sounds short for syphilis instead of science fiction. I swear I'm sick to death of marketing majors and 'branding'. In the press release for the channel they talk about 'it's all about the brand'. Bullshit it is. It's about SCIENCE FICTION, not about wrestling or hunting ghosts. (Is it me or is Ghost Hunters the stupidest show on TV?)

Since Stargate is off the air I've watched less and less of the channel. Eureka had 8 episodes of Season 3 shown late last year and I've found no news anywhere about when the rest of the season (or Season 4) will be aired. Of course when a channel produces and airs 'Mansquito', high brow entertainment like Eureka is not considered good TV.

If the channel (and I'll never call it 'SyFy') wants to broaden their appeal, then find a name that doesn't suck. If you want to be NBC2, then call it that. That name is insulting to the core audience (geeks) and is too stupid to appeal to anyone else to attract new viewers.

I'd love to launch every marketing exec (and major) into space.
