I despise people who use the word  “Nazi” when it comes to defining their enemies…except when it comes to me.

Yes, I’m a hypocrite, but I prefer to think the title to this post is more like an inspiration from a B-movie title than the historical National Socialists. My anger has to do with the government acting like Nazi clowns wanting to control everything.

We already have anti-smoking laws up the wazoo. Do we need even more legislation? The Obama Administration says yes! And as usual they are controlling what we see for the “sake of the kids.” Damn the kids. I’m sick of having my world defined by stupid young people who need to be taught critical thinking instead of having everything censored for their gullible eyes.

“Historic anti-smoking legislation sped to final congressional passage on Friday,” reports the Associated Press. This new legislation will involve:

- Cigarette packages will have warning labels that cover 50 percent of the front and rear. The word “warning” must be included in capital letters. (If tobacco makers were smart they would name their brand “Warning Cigarettes”)

- Any remaining tobacco-related sponsorships of sports and entertainment events will be banned, as will giveaways of non-tobacco items with the purchase of a tobacco product. A federal ban will be imposed on all outdoor tobacco advertising within 1,000 feet of schools and playgrounds. (As if kids can’t walk a 1000 feet. How sheltered does Obama think kids are?)

- Smokers, particularly the younger crowd, will find they can no longer buy cigarettes sweetened by candy flavors or any herb or spices such as strawberry, grape, orange, clove, cinnamon or vanilla. (Taste the rainbow–oh no, rainbow is off limits.)

This is f-ing ridiculous. I’m not a smoker, but why the hell do we need all this? Doesn’t government understand that kids rebel against authority. The more they try to suppress smoking the cooler it becomes. If Obama was smart he would start a campaign showing parents and police advocating cigarettes. No kid wants to imitate geeky adults.

This nonsense about giving the FDA so much power over cigarettes is eventually going to extend into the arts. I recently wrote an article on “R-rated Smoking” where the MPAA takes smoking into consideration when rating a film. And there is some moron insisting that any movie showing smoking has to have an “R” attached to it.

Luckily, most kids are rebelling with a relatively harmless drug called “pot.” But with Nazi tactics like this anti-smoking legislation, Obama is going to make cancer sticks a way for kids to give “the man” the finger.

There I said it.

I didn’t vote for John McCain either. I was so disgusted by the bailout proposals that I said to hell with both of them. It didn’t really matter to me who was in The Whitehouse as long as it wasn’t George Bush.

The reason I post that is because every once in awhile I get comments that seem to think I’m some sort of hippie liberal because I’ll take a jab at war propaganda rockers like Kid Rock or homophobe models like Miss California.

A note to what I can only presume to be defensive Christian leaning conservatives–not everyone who disagrees with you is a liberal.

Some of us “moderates” could even be true free market conservatives who are sick of religion being used to gain votes or make policy.  Where’s Barry Goldwater when you need him? (Oh yeah, long since dead).

I lean Libertarian even though I’m hesitant to call myself “Libertarian” because it offends the core group of the Libertarian Party. That said, I’m sick of Christians acting like they own conservatism. Most of them don’t even know what it means. And most of them supported Bush who increased government and didn’t shrink it, then act like kids trying to change the topic to some liberal fat cat who did the same as Bush as if that lets Bush off the hook.

So if you want to imply I’m a liberal, you don’t know what the hell you’re talking about. You’re being lazy minded and not addressing the opinion, just dismissing it because somehow all liberals are wrong.

They aren’t. Liberals can be very much right on many things just as any party can be. No one is ever 100 percent wrong or right…unless you believe life is a holy war and all ideological enemies must be defeated.

To end this response to the Christ-lovin’ conservative user comments, I’d like to say that Carrie Prejean is a blonde ‘tard and that Barack Obama is a homophobe underneath all the carefully worded opinions he gives on the subject. Happy now?

So, uh, there were 11,500 jobs lost today according to the home page of CNN, and oh what else do I see there–”Digital TV Could Be Delayed By Vote.” All of a sudden these Washington idiots are running around worrying that Ma and Pa out in the boonies may not get reception on their TVs.

 This is their fault to begin with. Why the hell is the federal government mandating updates on technology? Is this what they were doing as the economy slowly tanked. Are we really worried that people are going to be stuck with an analog signal because some broadcaster felt they didn’t need to update to digital.

AND get this per CNN: “The FCC ran out of money in recent weeks for the $40 coupons to help people buy converters for their analog TVs.”

Good Lord! Why are we wasting government money on buying people entertainment equipment?! This is ridiculous. If you can’t afford a new digital tv–which you don’t need if you use Comcast Cable here for 12.99 a month for the basic channels–then maybe you should use another free government service. It’s called a Library! News and entertainment under one roof. They even loan movies.

 I am a TV fan and yet this pisses me off. This is not the government’s business. Entertainment is one area where the free market reigns supreme and if you’re poor, I’m sorry. There are cheap alternatives and even free alternatives to getting your entertainment and news. In an emergency you can still listen to a radio and most likely if there was disaster everyone would be gathered together watching one TV anyhow.

What a waste of taxpayer time and money. And now they’ve delayed the process because they can’t even manage handing out coupons for digital receivers. Friggin’ ridiculous.

I like science even though my scientific intelligence is average. Here’s a weird blog post I found on “Primate Porn”, I don’t think it’s surprising though. On Scienceblog.com someone posted about how monkeys will use a monetary system (in this case fruit juice) to pay to see other monkeys. In particular they would pay to see female hindquarters (achem, close-ups) and high status faces within a group (the cute chicks).

This post was poorly written from a scientific perspective because it doesn’t go into detail on what kind of monkeys we are talking about. I would assume chimps but? What it does demonstrate is that humans aren’t alone in paying to be perverts.

They often say that males require visual cues to be attracted to a female and then later on a relationship can develop. Women are supposedly more mature and don’t require visual cues in order to be attracted to a man–they look for the “inner man.” That’s a bunch of B.S. of course. Women look for all kinds of visual cues and if it isn’t about looks they’ll dig deeper to find out how much is in “the wallet.” If it’s not about the wallet then it’s about power. Both genders are equally shallow and I think it’s perfectly natural from a biological standpoint.

Those men and women who say that visual cues don’t matter are the ones that didn’t have their own visual cues to barter with in the first place. Let’s all be honest, people. My over-sized glasses in highschool didn’t cause women to come clamoring to me.

 I will admit there may be some exceptions to these observations, but let me know when a gorgeous, attractive woman with a perfect body joins the peace corp and marries a slug of a man who studies vaccines for a living.

Porn, I believe, is a byproduct of visual cues because obviously when the average Joe looks at a pornographic picture there is no chance in hell he will be able to hook up with the likes of Jenna Jameson or some other nude starlet. The same goes for the average Jane and those romance novel covers–rippling muscles porn.

The real question here is how do we get monkeys off the fruit juice and onto our monetary system?

Then we teach them how to surf the internet so entrepreneurs can start monkey porn sites. Monkey credit cards may not be so easy to provide though. Since primates don’t wear clothes where are they going to keep those pieces of plastic. I shudder to imagine.

I think Barack Obama is making me question my sexual orientation. There’s been a flurry of conversation over the holidays as pictures of a “topless Obama” from Hawaii have appeared on the internet and elsewhere.

To my recollection I’m not sure I’m aware of a President this buff? He obviously works out and isn’t a McDonald’s patron like his democratic predecessor Bill Clinton. It’s a good thing he’s not a ladies man like him either or Obama would be getting plenty of action; power plus pecs is a lethal combination to slay the hearts of babes.

Much of the criticism over the photographs have been if a photographer can get close enough to take “sexy” shots like these couldn’t an assassin or nutjob get close enough to shoot the president-elect?

This particular photo was shot by a photographer for The Bauer-Griffin Agency located in California. According to Eurweb.com, Frank Griffin is the co-owner and said his guy did nothing wrong. All photographers were checked by the secret service and the beach is public. The agency’s photographer simply had the luck of getting the best shot.

The other criticism I saw on some comment boards was one of jealousy. One person on Topix.com actually said this and I quote: “Big deal. I’m 45, I’m in better shape than this guy and I don’t smoke. He’s not all that special people, and he STILL has done nothing of substance. Writing books in Bali and golfing in Hawaii…. There’s a man-of-the-people for you!”

“Big deal”? I’m not exactly a hardcore defender of Obama but the big deal is that this guy keeps in shape and maintains the schedule it takes to become President of the United States, you idiot. Currently Obama is on holiday because he’s not yet in charge and if you don’t think there’s anything going on behind the scenes where he’s studying up on his new position then you truly are an idiot. Let’s reserve judgment for when he gets into office and starts screwing up. Until then comments like these are petty.

Sorry, just had to say that.

As a member of Kennedy royalty, Caroline Kennedy has her eyes on Hillary Clinton’s New York senate seat; but to start off her campaign right she has to stop saying “Ya Know.”

First of all, with a Kennedy it doesn’t matter if they have a speech impairment or not, they can usually get what they want. Robert Kennedy, Jr. hosts “Ring of Fire” on Air America Radio and his voice is terrible. He has no business being an orator of any kind, or frankly telling the average American to conserve on their driving when he flies in a jet (I’m not a fan of Hannity but RK got called out on that one). With Caroline Kennedy she will be elected based upon being a “Kennedy” and not her own merit–whether that’s fair or not, I believe it’s true.

That’s not to say Caroline isn’t smart.  To be in that royal family it looks like a requirement as long you stay to the same idealogical path. All she needs is a Palin makeover to curb her “Ya Know”s and she’s on her way.

Most of what counts for intelligence is the appearance of intelligence and part of that is being able to speak. Possibly Bush is a rogue maverick in this department and is so smart he feels he doesn’t have to appear to be such in public. At last we may have figured him out, if it weren’t for a botched war, a bad economy, and numerous government scandals.

It is surprising to what lengths Chinese officials will go to in order to control the flow of information on the internet. This includes material they deem obscene and in China, despite being godless communists, they are extremely conservative about sex.

Those who post porn or what is deemed to be pornographic downloads can receive jail time. If you want to protest a totalitarian communist regime and piss off The Chinese Authorities for all of their human rights abuses, go grab your partner, make a sex video and dedicate it to The Chinese Government.

A recent example of China’s prude police is reported by GossHollywood.com where Shanghai authorities are now holding a woman who posted a 12 minute sex video of herself entitled:  “Kappa girl at Shanghai No 1 Department Store’s east building.” If she hadn’t used Shanghai in the title maybe things would not have gotten out of hand. However, the video became popular and was downloaded enough times that this girl decided to profit from it.

Her real name is Huang and she started a blog where she offered to do interviews and provide bio information for a price–a porn star in the making. Too bad the authorities now have her in custody and are deleting the video and any information about the video wherever they can find it on the internet. Good luck, guys.

Whether or not you agree with Huang showing her goodies, it brings up the issue of whether China can survive pop culture. What happens when a Chinese film star, or maybe a better example would be a ping-pong champion, has a sex video leaked to the worldwide web? Much like our Pamela Anderson sex vids and our Paris Hilton vids it will be an unstoppable force. The more China tries to eliminate it the more popular the video will become.

Of course, according to some articles–see this one from 2005 on China and Internet Porn–Chinese women are too frigid to begin with. This may be a cultural effect where individualism is squashed by any means necessary and to be sexually active means “putting yourself out there.” Sex is an expression of confidence and individualism which often frightens those in charge because if you are not afraid of sex you are often not afraid to call “bulls**t on politics.

This begs the question as to why American activists are still even bothering to suggest that porn oppresses women. If it was forced, yes, but the opposite seems to be true too: if you force a woman not to express herself in sexual entertainment then oppression again occurs. Freedom to be in sexual entertainment is the logical choice, regardless if some American women will make stupid mistakes or be leered at by Chinese men who have obtained their videos through the blackmarket.
