Uggh… thought this shit with the anti-islamic drawings wouldn’t really involve us… now some idiotic, useless, shoot-yourself-in-the-foot-to-prove-a-point academics have not only brought this on us, but they’ve done it in my backyard and made the news doing it! Thanks guys.

Now, in most circumstances, I would say that I’m a shoot-yourself-in-the-foot-to-prove-a-point academic, I have absolutely no caveats with invoking the first amendment, and I’m a registered Republican (though I’ve always considered myself more of a ‘centrist with right leanings’) but if you want to spread this sorta mindless crap, don’t hide behind the first amendment. There’s something called decency and self-censorship, so unless you’re trying to sell something, quit trying to shock the world… you’re getting people killed.

Oh and here’s a little hate speech directed at my fellow christian hate-mongers for being baselessly prejudiced against an entire population because of an example you’ve witnessed, set by a select few… fuck you.

I checked out the surf report today [small but good conditions, if you're wondering] and came across this little feature called ‘look out below’ presented by Surfline. I can’t imagine trying a wave that size, let alone eating crap, and then doing it again three more times in the same session… I’d be hurting for a week from the first one!

Couldn’t help myself. Dead on… my nickname was Spidey for a while. Does the Hulk, being in a close second, mean that I have anger issues? Oddly my second, third and fourth favourite superheros are also in order here!

OMG, it’s ‘Freedom Fries’ all over again: Iran Renames Danish Pastries. At least we didn’t burn the French embassies!

So what? Our Veep shot an idiot who walked up to a hunting line without announcing himself… that’ll teach him. Cheney’s been hunting for eons, and never had this happen before, and it does happen more than just every so often on the whole… it’s what happens when people make a mistake… nobody’s perfect.

I am glad to finally hear a voice of reason in this sea of madness. Jeff Greenfield wrote an editorial on the incident, and the response to it all.

Frickin’ media.
