Slave screams he spends his life learning conformity
Slave screams he claims he has his own identity
Slave screams he’s going to cause the system to fall
Slave screams but he’s glad to be chained to that wall-Trent Reznor
I just spent an absurd amount of time over at the latest pixelated internet stool smear created by Erick Erick Erickson Son of 3 Job Erickson (see here, here, and here ) and Josh Trevino who has personally left literally hundreds of abandoned blogs/websites/professional embarrassments on the Internets over the past ten years, but then he is a ginger and therefore has no shame or soul. I guess there is a purpose to this collection of ‘Horatio Alger gets a double-wide’ success stories, if only to make most everyone feel better about their lives or possibly to give the Koch brothers something to masturbate into $100 bills over.
Overall, I found their grim pride in their stories kind of depressing because as Paul Simon once put it, “It’s just imagination they lack”, which then put me in mind of the words of the great Bobby Dupea:
You keep on talking about the good life, Elton, ’cause it makes me puke.
Also.
Added, because it needed to be.

Well, better you spend time there than me. Bleagh.
I tried reading it elsewhere. I think my time would have been better spent hitting myself with a piece of rebar.
As Benjamin Franklin Pierce said, these folks are fighting for “The inalienable right to an early coronary sitting at your desk while plotting to stab your boss in the back.”
Nothing about how we are sure to find out Tebow really is the white Cam Newton despite his inability to take a snap from center, throw, or you know, play the position?
In this context, “absurd” approximately equals “any” when it comes to time. I fled without drawing breath (or blood)
I can’t read that crap.
Seems like they all have Stockholm Syndrone eminating from an addiction to Rush & Drudge. OWS is about the mega-rich expecting a hand-out, not the 99% expecting a hand-out.
I can’t read it, either. I don’t know how Tbogg stays sane and hasn’t blown a gasket looking at that stuff all the time.
With the bye week, The Resurrection of Juicebox Jesus can wait.
Oh, sweet baby Jesus… We down here in Georgia are SO sorry for having inflicted Erk Erkson on y’all. Please forgive us.
There is the risk of Orton somehow playing well enough to take Denver out of The Andrew Luck Sweepstakes. Best to go with a sure thing….
Sometimes the jokes just write themselves…
That link to “actually, you are the 47%” is terrific…hope everyone reading the post catches it at the very end. Really, everyone of these people have been impacted by this sucky economy…yet they aren’t willing to face the reality. Just so sad to realize that a significant number of these people are willing to act against their best interests.
That’s the thing, isn’t it? Most of those slaves don’t seem to be doing so shit-hot to me, but they’re all so proud of being mega-slaves to the man… and how fantastic they are for working 3 and 4 jobs just to make ends meet. Hey: good for you for being industrious ‘n all, but sheesh… don’t ya wanna take a look at the difference between the pennies you make v. the gazillions made by the Kochs, etc?? Lamebrains.
Making government work for you by supporting others like yourself? Or supporting more of the same screwing that you’ve been getting voting against your best interests? Tough call for these 1% wannabees, but neverwills.
