<div class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 450px"><img title="morons" src="http://images.newstatesman.com/articles/2010//20100207_90625772_w.jpg" alt="morons" width="440" height="280" /><p class="wp-caption-text">morons</p></div>
<p>Dear Well-to-do Baby Boomers,</p>
<p>I saw you at the Tea Party Convention in Nashville and you are a sad bunch of people. Your convention reminded me of an AARP meeting for only racist members. It is unfortunate that this is the best top-down &#8220;movement&#8221; that dethroned conservatives can muster. I understand that you dislike the president, I do too. I just wish that you wouldn&#8217;t cloak your shit in so much nonsensical patriotism. If you want a revolution, as some at the convention stated, then I am with you. Unless you mean a revolution like 1994, which was not a revolution at all even though the thought of it gives you all boners.</p>
<p>So, aside from the fact that the vast majority of the convention was just a money-making scheme for the promoters and vendors, I was depressed to see that your key-note speaker was Sarah Palin and the next name that got big press was Tom Tancredo. Are you fucking for real? The crazy dude from the 08 presidential primaries and the publiciteer from Wasilla? Why not just hire me to come up on stage and take a crap while reading from their books. It would have been way cheaper, and you would have got the same inspirational message. Also, I could have taken a crap. Aside from the demographics, this was the icing on the cake for me. You are clearly not serious about changing anything in this country other than the puppet that sits on the throne.</p>
<p>I want you to realize that this country is totally fucked, but not because of the socialist president &#8211; about as socialist as one can be while bowing to his corporate masters and propping up a dead economy for the betterment of Wall Street bankers. Don&#8217;t you understand anything at all? He re-appointed your Fed chairman, escalated one of your wars and cut your taxes. Yeah, he&#8217;s a real socialist mad man. The solution to the whole mess isn&#8217;t to put a dimwit like Sarah Palin into the White House. The real solution is to blow up the White House and start from scratch.</p>
<p>But I understand you don&#8217;t really give a shit about the future of this country, and I don&#8217;t blame you. You give a shit about your own interests, which are vested in the stability of the status quo, with a slightly more reddish hue.</p>
<p>My closing advice to you is to either kill yourselves immediately, hopefully taking a few other tea partisans with you in the process, or to wake the fuck up. We have an empire to dismantle and an economy to reformat and there is not an abundance of time or materials available to make it happen. The longer you spend thinking about your retirement plans, the shorter our window of opportunity gets. So lets get serious, stop jerking each other off and start working on a future that has some hope of survival before it is too late.</p>
<p>Get on board for the boat drinks or get the fuck off of the earth,</p>
<p>mike</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="aligncenter" src="http://hphotos-snc3.fbcdn.net/hs234.snc3/22174_257040417193_539807193_3374026_4718988_n.jpg" alt="" width="399" height="278" /></p>
<p>It was recently brought to the periphery of my consciousness that some old fuck named Pat Robertson said some shit about the earthquake in Haiti. That is the extent of my knowledge, and I refuse to investigate further because doing so would be a bigger waste of time and probably less funny that reading tweets from ShitMyDadSays &#8211; which is a waste of time in and of itself.</p>
<p>There are plenty of people to hate in this world that are still relevant and actually pose a threat to mainstream American culture (search for my opinions under Fuck Glenn Beck and Fuck Rachel Maddow, amongst many others) so why was good art, words, social capital or breath spreading the word about some washed-up televangelist that said something predictably televangelist-y. Stop wasting good angst on bad targets. Break your mainstream liberal programming and think for your fucking selves, fine people of the left of center. This guy has no cache with anyone under the age of 75 anymore and hasn&#8217;t for at least a decade. Give a shit about someone or something topical, and pollute my web reading with that stuff instead of some criticism that just as easily could have been voiced in 1987.</p>
<p>I am not even telling you what to right about, I am just asking politely not to waste another word on something so silly and antequated as a religious TV personality from the 1970&#8217;s.</p>
<p>This may be among the shortest doom letters of all time, but sometimes saying something important only takes a couple hundred words. And in a society that is quickly becoming used to messages with fewer <em>characters</em> than that, perhaps I should count my blessings of consision.</p>
<p>brevity drinks,</p>
<p>mike</p>
