94. With ya all the way on this, babs!
It's disgusting, alright... it's disgusting how the media can't
seem to distinguish between real stories of real merit and pure,
unadulterated bullshit.
And it's been going on seemingly FOREVER:

...the Big Lie of the Century, pushed by The Mega-Buck News Media on every front, was the idea that Clinton's indiscretions constituted not so much a crime (cuz if fellatio were truly a crime, wouldn't Rex Reed be in solitary 24/7?), but that Clinton had somehow failed all of America on this heavy moral level... the piteous wailing and gnashing of teeth went on for what seemed like years and years (but was in fact only a matter of years), and the goofiest cavil of all was the constantly repeated "What will I tell my children?" screed... it seems to me that such questions are inane and insanely hypocritical, coming back at us from the same source that provides a constant and unending barrage of violent and sexually provocative imagery and concept in the areas of entertainment and advertising... yes, sex sells... but where to draw the line between Permissive and Incredibly Excessive and Utterly Disgusting and Best Left Unspoken and Somebody Call Springer? What did you tell your children about Jeffrey Dahmer, that the news hadn't already spelled out in infinite, one might even say loving detail? What didn't the news cover about the Clinton/Lewinsky scandal, in terms even little kids could understand, except perhaps the unspoken but indisputable fact that even a good man is only human and capable of mistakes... that no one of us is perfect?
The Liars of the Century calling Bill the Liar of the Century?... I love that...


Excerpted from Some Folks I Profoundly Distrust, 4/26/01

Yet they let this motherfucker alone for 8 horrifying years:



Lucky for him that NO ONE would ever CONSIDER blowing him in a million years...
Personally, I'm guessing he probably has a tentacle down there.

Great tee-shirts, buttons and such at
Laugh City!
