Some people have noticed that Names4things uses profanity. One concerned reader wrote this afternoon that he could “barely stomach the otherwise insightful” content. No other organs were apparently involved.
I could not give less of a shit. For reals. If your eyes are so brutalized by my language that you cannot bear to read my bullshit, then go fuck yourself. Or get your money back. Whichever is funner for you. But don’t complain to me about that nonsense. You just do you. I’ll do Names4things, unchanged on this particular topic. On most others, engagement is welcome.
In the same vein, a sister in profanity, Randi Rhodes of Air America, the ‘liberal’ radio show that is so mismanaged it’s a fucking miracle that it’s still going, was just reinstated. Why was she ’suspended’ in the first place? For calling Geraldine Ferraro a fucking whore (which she is), and for calling Hillary Clinton a fucking whore (way understated here– she’s a fucking lying whore). The killer is that she did this on her own fucking time, during a standup routine. She was not even at her dayjob. That is some fascist shit, isn’t it?
Question. Where was I, when it was decided that obscenities were linguistic; but shit like the acquittal of Sean Bell’s murderers, food riots, war, racism, gay-bashing, and addict Rush Limbaugh, were not? I was not there when that was decided.
Aw shit. Now we have to remember Jackie Robinson.
Jackie Robinson was beautiful. He was a great baseball player too, but that was not where his true greatness shone. This beautiful man used to have to hit a ball with a fucking stick, while he was covered with spit. The white cowards who played on the opposing team, used to try to knock him off the baseline, and pitchers were forever trying to literally blast his head off. Coupled with enduring the most horrifying pejoratives, not just from the segregated crowds enjoying America’s pastime, but from his own goddamned teammates– he had to keep his responses to himself. All the while, his life, and the lives of his family members, were constantly threatened.
He never bent. He never went off on these heathens, and even though he was the first Rookie of the Year, and got several awards; he died a year younger than the un-old N4T is now. Since he was a professional athlete, and had to keep himself relatively fit, we’re going to have to assume that absorbing all of that undeserved hatred and abuse shortened his life. Sure, he was politicized, wrote a column, supported both Malcolm and Martin, and did lots of other very commendable things. But he died of a heart attack at 53. How much longer would we have enjoyed his presence, had he been able to let loose a few fuck yous? We’ll never know, will we?
Names4Things cares deeply that Jackie Robinson’s strong and beautiful heart was eventually mechanically broken. But having to watch Hillary lying whore Clinton in league with the media, doing the same tired dance on Barack Obama, is fucking disgusting. Watching how gracious and sane he remains, while they hold him responsible for even another man’s words, is some bile-inducing shit. However you wish to interpret Jeremiah Wright’s words, he was right way the fuck more than he was wrong. N4T faults him for what she believes are character flaws, not for his interpretation of what the fuck is and has been going on. The Clintons certainly believed in him enough to invite him to the White House, after Bill got caught getting his bits did in the oval office.
But that hasn’t kept Obama from being held to an inhumanly high standard, while Clinton engages in the political equivalent of snuff porn, with barely a mention. I cannot believe how despicable and unethical that piece of shit is. At this juncture, I can no longer behave as if your vote for her is just your vote. Now I believe that if you vote for the bitch, you’re just as crazy as she is.
So, if she makes N4T this angry, Obama must be molten. Let some loose, Barack. Let them fucking have it, in a safe space, and as often as you need. if you need any anecdotal evidence that profanity may preserve you; note that Dick Cheney tells Senator Patrick Leahy to ‘fuck yourself’ as a salutation. And they removed his fucking heart about 45 years ago.
One more thing. All of you poor, mortgaged, unemployed, uninsured nitwits who will vote against your own interests, because you are either stupid, or just that racist? Even if you have been convinced that hope is stupid? Go fuck yourselves [burp].
