Peoples Dying In The Ghetto And Peoples Dying Outside The Ghetto: My Life Will Never Escape The Reasons Why

I'll find a story of mass murder, one day, that doesn't include an American doing something like this - and that's when I'll know it might be over:

"A contradictory picture emerged of the suspect in the deadly Washington Navy Yard rampage. He meditated at a Buddhist temple yet spent hours playing assault-themed video games."

Wow. That's some "contradiction." And a real anomaly.  Or is it? As I've pointed out before, if someone accepts the belief that "life is about suffering," then it's not much of a leap to cause some.

And nowadays, you have to admit, that whole "life is about suffering" schtick is really popular:

"If you're trying to decipher Loughner's worldview,...The best label would probably be 'New Age paranoia.'"

Oops, John Lennon - that was another guy to start killing everybody after dabbling in NewAge - here's the new guy:

"U.S. law enforcement officials are telling The Associated Press that the Navy contractor identified as the gunman in the mass shootings at the Washington Navy Yard had been suffering a host of serious mental issues, including paranoia and a sleep disorder. He also had been hearing voices in his head, the officials said."

Well - that could've also described my wife, too, asshole! Weird, because everyone defended those symptoms - as a feminist thinking "straight" - when she had them. Not that anyone cares about what happened to my wife and life:

Let's just make this thing blow over, as always, so we can get back to cheering what a overwhelmingly positive influence J. D. Salinger had on society,...

 

L. Ron Hubbard & Joseph Smith: They Do A Job On You

This was so obviously on it's way, it hardly qualifies as worth repeating: 

Leah Remini has 'lost friends' since Scientology exit 

Disconnection - Something else Scientologists and Mormons, as NewAgers, have in common:

They'll talk kindly to you if you're in - or they're trying to get you in - but not if you don't join.

A little nonsensical inner power trip. 

 I've seen the two Mormon missionaries who tried to convert me almost every day, but they rarely acknowledge we've ever spoken now, though I was as cordial as a person could be. How they can live with themselves, compartmentalizing and abandoning people they live with that way, is something worthy of study. 

Like a mental health study,...

 

Laurence O'Donnell To Weiner: What's Wrong With You?

What a jerk.

Though, I must admit, it seems kind of unfair to hit Weiner with this question, alone, when so many need to have it placed before them as well,...

Crime Is About The Con (Artist: Framing And Reframing)

Under-motherfucking-statement! This is an Understatement Alert:

“Things just got a little carried away today.”

Now, I've seen better, but - considering everything - that's playing it on the d/l pretty darned well.

In The Over-Statement Dept., I was going to site The Phantom's evil HorrorCore lyric:

"I will fuck anybody up in the worst way, rape a bitch on her birthday."

But as a Rap, not only is it clunkier than Gumby, but The Phantom's been unmasked. Please, Ladies & Gentlemen, try matching the photo above (and the way his t-shirt fits around the waist) to another of his alter ego's particularly clunky couplets:

"I’m a nasty cunt,  I will punch you in the face and you look like you’ve been having some acupuncture ’cos my fist is lethal. 

I’m a fucking hero, you’ve got fucking zero. I’m a motherfucking demon, I’ll stab you in the face with a needle."

I know all about death by placebo, but this is ridiculous,...

 

Black Feminists Take On White Feminists (To Be Heard)

Illuminating quote, considering:

"Once we marginalize people out of leadership, it becomes easier to marginalize them out of all power discussions."

Am I talking about Mitt? Fuck Mitt. I'm talking about my participation in the blogosphere. Meanwhile, "Women of color" have solved that problem by creating a hashtag #SolidarityIsForWhiteWomen that's zooming to the top of the Twitter feed with pointed artwork and references to how bullshit white, house-remodeling feminists are: 

"My interpretation of what happened is that because she didn't want to appear to be hypocrite, she refused to answer and kept asking more and more abstract questions about their example. When she was backed into a corner, she lashed out, suggesting that people who disagreed with her feelings were racists. Eventually, she was so upset that she began crying. Of course, at that point the possibility of civil intellectual discourse completely evaporated. 

I was also astonished by the poise with which my tablemates handled Althouse. Our companions did not raise their voices nor dismiss her (as I would have), but tried to calm her down. In fact, Althouse made the situation even more personal by yelling repeatedly at one of my dinner companions (who is also a colleague) that she was an 'intellectual lightweight' and an 'embarrassment to women everywhere.' In fact, in my opinion, with that statement Althouse had actually identified herself. Before Althouse stalked away, I asked her to apologize for that insult, but she refused."

"The two of us were having a perfectly civil conversation about the moral status of embryos. Anyway next thing I know, Ann Althouse is shouting at two of our dinner companions demanding that they prove to her (Althouse) that they are not racists! She kept asking over and over, 'How do I know that I'm not sitting at a table full of racists?' This was completely bizarre! It should go without saying, but I will say it: No one at the conference could even remotely be accused of being racist."

O.K., the artwork (except for the one above) is theirs and the quotes I put there - but they're real! Here's one of the WOC's actual Tweets:

"#solidarityisforwhitewomen when white women see this tag and still only think of what we can do for *them* and *their* feelings."

 The real "new shades of feminism" sure seem to know how white lady feminism works. Ann Althouse's spoken often of how important her feelings are to her politics and how much she admires American Idol and Girls. She's DEEP. I'm sure, with her searing insights into the race issue, Ann is headed over to Twitter immediately to set all those black women straight, as she and Meadsey regularly attempt to do with me. Usually by telling me how hurt Ann is:

Because she's so intelligent, brave, racially aware, and,...feminist.

They're also a pair of big ol' lying hypocrites, so I care,... 

Can Somebody Explain Hypocrisy To Glenn Reynolds?

So, the conservative blogosphere is showing what "we're" all about - again:

They're having a grand time, at the expense of an ADMITTED manic-depressive male feminist having a break-down, because - while off his meds and in a manic state - he'd come clean about "using sex and charm and whiteness" to scam his readers.

I got that link from Glenn Reynolds' blog. Here's what Glenn wrote about it:

"Chicks just dig jerks, especially if they pretend to have the right gender politics."

Very observant. Keep in mind, Glenn's married to a woman who writes about gender politics and the unfairness of society to men. Glenn's even been ferociously promoting her book.

Meanwhile, at the same time, he also regularly promotes a female feminist - but one known for having almost regularly-scheduled and extremely-alienating public breakdowns - and who's likewise known for "using sex and charm and whiteness" to scam her readers.

But she's another law professor who refuses to admit anything - evidence be damned.

Glenn's never turned the screws on her like he and his friends have done a manic depressive male.

It should be pointed out that Ann Althouse, too, is getting her kicks at the guy. 

Which raises some obvious questions:

Is Reynolds such a jerk he hasn't even read his own wife's book?

Or is he just too stupid to understand it?

This Is What Tolerance Has Got The Healthy Enduring

I ain't gonna mention no names,...

I'm Starting To Get All That "White Privilege" Stuff Now

Even by Rap standards, it's weirdly weird.

Lil Wayne's never misrepresented his mental state to his audience, but if he ran Althouse, the feminist blogger's fans wouldn't notice the change:

"I don't give a fuck about what he thinks or said. I'm rich! I'm something to talk about."

Also, Weezy's an epileptic, and Pie Face is famous for falling apart in public.

So what ARE the major differences between them? Three things:

1. Unlike Mr. Lollipop, mental collapse's the most significant thing Ann's ever done.

2. Weezy didn't play the race (or feminist) card to make his name and fortune.

3. If the two ever met, Meade would be shit-out-of-luck,...
