I linked to this in a previous post, but I think it’s worth highlighting by itself anyway… actually, I find their politics repugnant at times, but at other times I can’t help but think they’re not completely wrong… here’s a blog of political cartoons by Cox & Forkum.

Once, in a little diner in Iksan, I sat listening with deep amusement as two very enlightened fellows I know, an American and an Australian, bitched about Canadians. They were, of course, fairly justified. They were, I should clarify, complaining generally about a certain kind of Canadian who ends up as an expatriate in Korea. It’s a fairly true stereotype, I find, with myself as one of the exceptions. The other day, the same American friend was asking me why the hell the Canadians around him never bloody well pronounce Korean words properly, but insist on saying them as if …

As I read this report from the Chicago Tribune on children in Angola tortured as witches, I can’t help but feel my blood boil. It’s another case where I think war would be far more justified than in the places where it is happening. Helena Kufumana makes a pathetic witch. Far from exuding wickedness, the 13-year-old schoolgirl is nervous and shy. Her “101 Dalmatians” cartoon T-shirt is grubby and doesn’t fit. She swings her bare feet beneath her chair in the hyper way that all kids do. And she cries a lot. Especially about the torture. Last month Helena was …

This week, a big news story broke: Martin Luther King’s widow has given her opinion on the gay marriage “debate”. POMONA, N.J. (AP) The widow of Martin Luther King Jr. called gay marriage a civil rights issue, denouncing a proposed constitutional amendment that would ban it. Constitutional amendments should be used to expand freedom, not restrict it, Coretta Scott King said Tuesday. Dr. King would be proud, I’m sure. When will these theocrat types stop and realize that their days are numbered? They’re going to look as gauche, backwards, and ugly as people who opposed “interracial” marriage a generation or …

Bush and Myanmar are Like This From Yahoo News: A ‘Bush-Cheney ’04’ campaign jacket sold on the Internet has stirred controversy because it was made in Myanmar, whose imports have been banned by the United States. Although the company that shipped the fleece pullover, Spalding Group of Louisville, Kentucky, has said it did so in error, human rights groups blamed President Bush (news – web sites)’s re-election campaign staff for not taking a more careful look at the origin of the products being sold in its name. Bush waves during a campaign rally at the Orange County Convention Center in …

In the midst of a bid for theocracy in America, nobody knows what is a right and what is a privilege and what to do about all these fucking morons screaming that gay marriage violates their rights as pathetic bigoted heterosexuals. So until it’s all sort out (and hopefully the bigots shut the fuck up) Oregon county has banned all marriages.Nobody’s going to the chapel till there’s a clear answer. Nobody, I hope, is going to the chapel until everyone can go to the chapel. Sounds fair to me. Though of course, the State line ain’t oo far away. Would …

Once more. Y0UNG-HAE CHANG HEAVY INDUSTRIES PRESENTS. I found Metablast interesting. Lots more I wanna see but you know, I can’t sit through more than one in a day. I disagree with chunks of this woman’s politics, but her art is still fascinating, and I’d love to have a beer with her sometime.

Wow. Impeachment vote pending in South Korea. The South Korean National Assembly has been adjourned until Friday after supporters of President Roh Moo-hyun blocked an impeachment vote. What do I think? Well, I think this excerpt from the conversation I had with Charlie says it all: Charlie: Oooh. Korean president in trouble. GordSellar: No Mu Hyun? Oh oh… out of touch, lemme look GordSellar: holy shit. nobody has mentioned it all day. wonder if they know at the office. GordSellar: someone must have mentioned it, tho, while I was out. can’t imagine NOBODY knowing about this. Charlie: Embezzling cunt. GordSellar: …

…was really vitriolic. I hope you all remember I’m actually pretty nice, most of the time. Read the poem that comes after it. Please!

Oh, yeah, the morons are out in full force. The moron in question is not me, though, it’s the dipshit who posted a comment on an old post about gay marriage. Have a look at what Juan has to say… And his email, which may or may not work, was left there. Why not spew some vitriol at this moron, if you need to vent. He deserves it for publishing hate literature. And what’s more, he left a fake email address! Not only a moron and a bigot but also a fucking coward! Brilliant! The moral bravery of these people …
