George Carlin

If there would be anything to use my last blog post of this quarter on, especially after the spamming I just had of all the old posts in my drafts that I never actually published, it would be George Carlin and his beautiful quotes. This is a man who put some real serious issues in a hilarious way and for that I admire him.

Here I have some videos of his stand-up on politics and rights.

Here are some of my favorite George Carlin Political quotes:

"In America, anyone can become president. That’s the problem."

"Fighting for peace is like screwing for virginity."

"Have you ever wondered why Republicans are so interested in encouraging people to volunteer in their communities? It’s because volunteers work for no pay. Republicans have been trying to get people to work for no pay for a long time."

"Once you leave the womb, conservatives don't care about you until you reach military age. Then you’re just what they’re looking for. Conservatives want live babies so they can raise them to be dead soldiers."

"The real reason that we can't have the Ten Commandments in a courthouse: You cannot post 'Thou shalt not steal,' 'Thou shalt not commit adultery,' and 'Thou shalt not lie' in a building full of lawyers, judges, and politicians. It creates a hostile work environment."

"If churches want to play the game of politics, let them pay admission like everyone else."

"I'm completely in favor of the separation of Church and State. My idea is that these two institutions screw us up enough on their own, so both of them together is certain death."

"Well, if crime fighters fight crime and fire fighters fight fire, what do freedom fighters fight? They never mention that part to us, do they?"

"You know the good part about all those executions in Texas? Fewer Texans."

"These days many politicians are demanding change. Just like homeless people."


"The owners of this country know the truth: It's called the American dream because you have to be asleep to believe it."

MLK Jr. And His Guns

With everything going on with gun laws over the weekend and on MLK Jr. Day,it makes sense why people would put those things together, but like this?
The article is saying that the military thinks Martin Luther King Jr. a man MURDERED BY A GUN, and who spoke of NON-VIOLENCE and PEACE BETWEEN men would have been "proud of its weapons?"

"Wow! This Nobel Peace Prize will look great right next to my gun collection! By the way military, I love what you've done with your weapons! Have fun shooting people!"

Artists Are Out of Touch

So the other day I saw this article about taxes jumping. Of course thats horrible and I wanted to check it out to see just how much these taxes were jumping. The article included this picture:

I apologize for the size, I'm just a simple blogger I know nothing about re-sizing images..



Now, I don't know about you, but whoever made this must be completely out of touch. My family and most of my friends' families do not even make what this picture says those families make. And a single person on their own making $230,000? HA! They wish!

Generals are Irresistable!

Remember that general who was writing a bunch of emails to another women? Personal emails? Emails they may or may not contain stuff a general should definitely not say?
It turns out that those allegations where unsubstantiated.
In the middle of November it was revealed that General Allen was exchanging emails with a Miss Kelley and there were Pentagram officials who characterized those emails as “inappropriate” and “flirtatious.” Oh, the horrid scandal and how it led to his resignation.

The Rape in India

I'm not sure if anyone's heard about the rape in India but this thing is crazy. In India, rape laws aren't like how they are here.India is finally pushing through on getting rape laws enforced and changing the way they look at women.
If you go and read the stories of what's happened you might cry as I did. Did you know in India if a women is raped they see it as her allowing someone to take away her virginity and her entire family is shamed and subject to ridicule and violence?

Here is where I originally heard of it, but it is everywhere now.

A young woman was raped by a bunch of men on a bus and died a few days later. Nobody helped her and even though they drove past police they didn't stop it either and I find this absolutely horrible. Ever since it happened so many women in India are starting to speak up about what happened to them and I think this needs to happen so people realize how much it's going on there and how big of a problem it is.

North Korea's Angry at US

hah! You see what I did there? I put "US" and in "us" and "United States". Get it? No... okay.

Here's an article about why they're angry with us.

North Korea has said, "we will take physical actions aimed at expanding and strengthening our self-defensive military forces, including nuclear deterrence" and that there would be "no dialogue to discuss denuclearisation of the Korean peninsula" and could be preparing for a third test.

Why? Because of Pyongyang, which has conducted 2 tests, was something the UN has condemned and they found it "unfair".

Honestly if we knew before North Korea had nuclear power that they were going to be such babies we probably would've killed them ages ago. We can't do that nowadays, though.

Million Man March for Second Amendment

There is a video going around that is an invitation and a plea for those who want to keep and not restrict second amendment to come to your state capitals to march on February 8th.
If you watch the video it doesn't actually give any information I just find it hilarious I'm so sorry but its just a really poorly done slideshow and I couldn't stop laughing. THERE ARE TEARS STREAMING FROM MY FACE.

There is an online petition as well that I encourage you to sign if it you want.
