For those of you following the Pirate Bay case…
It’s bullshit. I could probably leave it at that, but I will expound in the unlikely event that the RIAA, MPAA, or anyone involved in the copyright infringement suit will read this.
Today, four people involved in the running of file-sharing site The Pirate Bay were indicted in Sweden on charges of being accessories to breaking copyright law. You read that correctly. Four people. Four fucking people. Hans Fredrik Neij, Per Svartholm Warg, Peter Kolmisoppi and Carl Lundström, are suspected of organizing and running The Pirate Bay, and thus “promoting other people’s infringements of copyright laws.” Why stop there? I think the Swedish government should also charge every personal computer, piece of electronics, photocopier, and media manufacture in the world with “being accessories to breaking copyright law.” First of all, these four guys are heroes. Why, you may ask? I will tell you. For years the movie studios and television executives (we’ll stick with them for now, I’m not even going to start in on the record labels or software manufacturers) have been trying to cram their shitty products down our throats while charging us exorbitant prices for their “services.” I mean, $8.50 to go see a movie? Fuck you. Anyway, the medium has shifted. And instead of trying to keep up and supply our demand, they demand that we submit to their supply. I’m sorry, but that’s not how economics work. (I did go to college.) Continue reading this post…
New Hampshire should be picked up and dropped into the sea.
So, Hillary Clinton won the Democratic Primaries in New Hampshire last night. That is unfortunate. It’s not that I love Obama, I just loathe Hillary. She is playing the game to win and the Obama campaign just doesn’t seem to get this. 
Look at the next four states: Nevada, Michigan, South Carolina and Florida. Nobody cares about Nevada. People do care about Michigan, and Obama/Edwards won’t be on the ballot because they went along with the DNC boycott. Can they not understand that playing by the rules will instantly put them at a disadvantage when we/they/everyone should know that Hillary won’t play by those same rules?
Obama needs to win in South Carolina, and win big. Otherwise Hillary heads into Florida, another state stripped of delegates, with momentum she really won’t have earned and doesn’t deserve. She’ll have another automatic advantage in a state full of ex-New Yorkers and religious wackos. Continue reading this post…

What’s your electoral compass?
If you have a free couple of minutes (and are American or care what’s going on in the elections here) head over to Electoral Compass and take a look at where you fall in the political landscape. I know that it doesn’t mean anything and that none of you could care less, but here’s my results:
As long as I’m far from Thompson and Huckabee, I’m a happy man.
I like my ice queen icy.
So it’s been brought to my attention that Mr. Clinton (that’s Hillary to us that are close to her) has decided that she wants to “soften her icy persona.” Well I say fuck that! Listen Hillary, we know that you’re a cut throat, conniving, vindictive bitch. That’s what we want! If we wanted a pussy we would change the constitution and try to reelect W.
We got into enough shit 8 years ago when we thought we were electing some good ol’ boy from Texas. See what happened? We got fucked.
I want my president to be able to stand toe-to-toe with any and every leader on the planet and have a smooth poker face. Not someone that stands toe-to-toe and asks the Dalai Lama if he would like a tic-tac. Stoic bitchiness is what this country was founded on! Do you think our founding fathers sat back reading children’s stories while there was an uprising? Nay. They took action and blew shit up. They didn’t wait for months and their political advisers to tell them what to do then do some other random country bombing. The saw the problem, saw the solution, and the rest of the nation was on their side.
This, in no way, intimates that I will be voting for Hillary. However, for the sake of a little respect, wear the robe you’ve donned. It appears to be working. Your approval ratings are still higher than Obama’s.
All I’m saying is that I’m tired of having an ignorant ass run the country. And you, Mr. Clinton, are clearly not ignorant. But being an ass I can deal with.
