Pied Piper Of Harrisburg

From the “when you think he couldn’t say anything stupider but manages to anyway” department…

It seems that Pennsylvania Senator Rick Santorum thinks Euope is dying. My goodnes! They’re being “overrun” and their culture is dying. Someone quick they need an injection of “vibrant faith” and our boy Ricky is just the utter ignorant tool to give it to em right in the ass.  Is it true that there are declining birthrates and economic and social problems in many countries in Europe? Yes it may be true, but why would they bother to listen to a reactionary US Senator to help solve their problems.  I think that helping our friends in Europe is about the last thing on little Ricky’s mind and it’s more fearmongering and indoctrination for the gullible.

It is totally shamefull that someone this slimy actually got elected. He doesn’t even live in the State he purports to represent. I guess there weren’t enough clear headed voters in Philadelphia and Pittsburgh to overcome the rest of the “faithul" in Pennsylvania.  With a large early lead challenger Casey might manage to kick this cretinous theocrat to the curb in November. Unfortunately Casey Jr isn’t much better even though he’s nominally a Dem.  Sigh.

Back again

Turn back the hand on the clock

you’re a bitter old man who’s done nothing

but work your hands to the bone on the assembly lines

you’ve grown cold to the touch of the ones that you love

ignorance is something you can’t overcome but you’ve passed it on down

and that’s something much worse for a bitter young man…

is now taking the torch

So we’re back, well really it’s just me.  The old school Hotmud crewe have mostly dispersed. What was once the Philly crewe has ended up the Durban-Glasgow-NYC-Philly don’t talk much anymore because well, mostly because I suck.  It was very nice to take a big break after five years.  Traffic was (er that’s is) nonexistant so I decided to go into a bit of hibernation.  Now with V.6 we’ve got a new host, and a new backend (php booty Expression Engine Core).  The design is mos def temporary, just got dork around with the CSS a smidge to make it more personal.  And I think it’s just going to stay personal for a bit, we’ll see if I feel like adding in any more authors this time.  Not sure what to do with five years of archived post, most of which are in a terrible format.  Maybe I’ll serve them back up as “retro” posts and not try to convert it all.  More to come this week.  H(out)
