You are an appliance of compliance

So, yeah, I complain about the student papers here a lot, and certainly this week's editorial by the "journalist" who is unable to even do research on herself doesn't help their respective causes. Then again I complain about a lot of shit... some say I'm mostly skeptical and partly cynical. I don't talk about myself, but if I did I would say something like, "I'm a laid back type with a semi-soft beard (as soft as I can keep it)." Anyway, I was reading an article in the Fargo Forum, which features slightly better editorials than does the Badger Herald, about a kid whose home-school curriculum is developed by THE Bob Jones University. You know, the classis Christian college. I know, I know, you're saying that all of my religiously based writings on here are only feeding into the government endorsed and media sponsored firestorm. Well, maybe, but at least I realize that. Anyway, I'm not here to point out hypocrisies, bigotry, or anything else that I tend to relate to that bullshit, but I do want to point out that the newspaper there sucks much more (or is it much better, in a mildly amusing way?). Check out the article here, and feel free to explore!

Now, first of all, does Darryn have ever-so-slightly crossed eyes? Or a lazy eye? But anyway, I know it's the juvenile response, but my first thought was, "Ooo, someone's slightly chubby Republican boyfriend must've just gone out and found himself some alternative sources of yoni." My second response was, again, "Wow, she's a bad writer." My final response was, "Orgies are hot."

Which leads me to say that her article was worth it, because it drew the well-written and much more interesting response from "Chris C." Now, this guy has quite the life. In my mind, his situation ("our" live-in Girlfriend) is awesome. But probably he's fat, his wife's a butch flannel type, and the GF's a bipolar goth who engages in self-cutting behaviors. Still though, kind of an ideal scenario. Will their kids be fucked up?... hmm?

Now, the Bob Jones paper is REALLY awesome! That gum chewing story, excellent in its own right, is even better because it's the FRONT PAGE story! Also, their opinion piece on how the Muslim sprotesting about those dumb Danish cartoons just proves that Muslims suck is really classic Bob Jones U stuff. By the way, who the fuck was/is Bob Jones? I believe he's Anton LeVey's son. I did not spell Levey right, I'm sure.

BTW:
Your semisoft beard will get you far if you take it to the streets. (fortune cookie)

She has an eye disability that keeps her from the sex farms. I get sick and tired of her high and mighty judgemental take on things. People that comment on her articles should take over her spot on the editorial board (or anyone for that matter). Her writing idealogy is equivalent to that of a 16 year-old, or worse. She has no grasp on the concept of subjectivity, as if it's a difficult concept to grasp. Just like when I heard her on the radio say, in response to the question, "Why don't we call the holiday tree at the capitol, the Satan Tree?" She said, "Well, that's just not nice, and it's scary, and mean and stuff." Neither are exact quotes, but you get the idea. Timunishu Pork, that's what I call it, just because I want to.
