Asshole Fuckface Roundup #93

Asshole Fuckface Roundup log.

Friday, April 17th, 2009. Have been searching for days. Losing sleep, energy and sexual stamina. Located several candidates. List narrowed. Asshole Fuckfaces selected. Feel dirty. Begged for death to take me. Bore down. Got through it. Will now present AFR. Feels like giving birth.

First up, some amazing Texas style Asshole Fuckfacery.

Texas, I have a quick question: What in the fuck is wrong with you? Do you ever elect governors who are not complete and total idiots? This week, Texas governor Rick Perry decided his state should back out of this whole US of A experiment.



"No longer are we going to accept their oppressive hand in the state of Texas."



Weird you didn’t do that when Bush was using The Constitution as toilet paper. These people are so transparent and moronic it is amazing. He literally said Texas is “under the threat of tyrants.” Actually, I think it's under the threat of asshats. I believe we should show Rick what it is like to live under a tyrant. Let’s throw Rick in prison, kill his family and burn down his house. Hell, let’s use mustard gas and kill his entire hometown. Also, we should build a 100 foot gold statue of Lord Barack Obama in his anus. Or, we could lower taxes for people making under $250,000 a year, because that's what "tyrant Obama" is doing.

Yesterday, he took it even further and hinted at secession.

But if Washington continues to thumb their nose at the American people, you know, who knows what might come out of that. But Texas is a very unique place, and we're a pretty independent lot to boot."



While he made that statement, the crowd chanted, "Secede, secede, secede." Yeah, so, that’s illegal. But, I would have no problem with Texas going its own way.

Grow up, morons. You look really, really fucking stupid using this kind of language and making these kind of bills. On the other hand, congrats on being so wrapped up in your own party and ideology that you don’t see the vast majority of Americans will think you are bat shit crazy. Consider your national career hopes over.

Next up, can Asshole Fuckfaces become worse? Yes, they can.

You may recall two weeks ago, in Asshole Fuckface Roundup #91, when I wrote of the Afghanistan government’s new law that legalized the rape of women and girls. This week, those horrible humans took it up a notch. One hundred brave women gathered in Kabul to protest the new rape law this week. Naturally, that didn’t go over well with the pro-rape group. (Pro-rape groups tend to be sort of rigid.)

Women's rights activists scheduled a protest today attended by mostly young women. But the group was swamped by counter-protesters -- both men and women -- who shouted down the women's chants.

Some picked up gravel and stones and threw them at the women, while others shouted "Death to the slaves of the Christians!" Female police held hands around the group to create a protective barrier.



So, that’s working out well. Obviously, Afghanistan has a super bright future. That’s all I can take away from this incident in which women against being raped were stoned and threatened with death by the pro-rape folks.

Next up, some Congressional Asshole Fuckfacery.

It’s really great when a Democrat and a Republican come together to propose something horrible. This week it was revealed perennial Asshole Fuckface Democratic Senator Jay Rockefeller and Republican Olympia Snowe have authored the Cybersecurity Act of 2009. It’s a really great bill that will allow the federal government to shut down the Internet during times of “declared emergency.” Taking away people’s best source of information and a main communication tool is always the best way to not cause a panic during an emergency.

The bill's draft states that "the president may order a cybersecurity emergency and order the limitation or shutdown of Internet traffic" and would give the government ongoing access to "all relevant data concerning (critical infrastructure) networks without regard to any provision of law, regulation, rule, or policy restricting such access."



Sounds great. I feel safer already. Also, could you turn off my phones, shut down my television and stop my radio from babbling?

"People say this is a military or intelligence concern," says Rockefeller, "but it is a lot more than that. It suddenly gets into the realm of traffic lights and rail networks and water and electricity."




Hmmm. I guess I was overreacting. Up until you said, “traffic lights” I thought you were out of your mind. I was actually hoping you guys had some sort of security system set up for the water and electricity stuff, but I guess the idea is to just flip a switch and freak America out, causing riots and madness in the streets. Good call.

Finally, some trees are Asshole Fuckfaces. You read that right.

Not many men have the balls to take on trees for their Asshole Fuckface behavior. I’m probably going to get into trouble with the Tree Guild, but I don’t give a shit. This is a story people need to know about.

Artyom Sidorkin, a 28-year-old Russian, went to the hospital this week because he was having horrible chest pain and spitting up blood. (Why do I think that’s how long most Russians wait to go to the hospital?) Doctors gave Artyom an x-ray and found a tumor in his lungs. Bummer. They quickly scheduled a biopsy. That’s when it turned into an episode of the X-Files.

When they cut the tissue, they were amazed to see green needles in the cut.

“I blinked three times, and thought I was seeing things. Then I called the assistant to have a look,” says Vladimir Kamashev, doctor at the Udmurtian Cancer Center.

The five-centimeter branch was removed from the patient’s body.



This is the last fucking thing we need. With all the shit going on in the world, we don’t need trees to start growing inside of us -- especially in our lungs.

It is obvious that a five-centimeter branch is too large to be inhaled or swallowed, doctors say. They suggest that the patient might have inhaled a small bud, which then started to grow inside his body.



We are all going to die. Or end up as Ents.

Fuck.

Tenth Amendment challenges have not historically been so commonplace, although they came more to the forefront during the Depression as states felt the pressure of interference. In these tough economic times they are once again drawing attention. Something like 33 states putting forth state sovereignty bills of one sort or another so Texas is not alone. Objections to accepting federal funding here in Texas have centered around issues of extending unemployment benefits to previously ineligible part-time workers and thereafter placing the additional burden of paying for those unemployment insurance costs upon employers, many of whom are already strapped. There's a lot of debate about the pros and cons of this going on here, people on both sides. I'm not sure of the other objections but these are the "strings" which have been discussed most. It's been a bit frustrating for those of us who want just the facts so we can make up our own minds because it's been difficult to find any neutral reporting of the facts without some sort of spin on it, be it a conservative or liberal spin.

Now the issue of seceding is an interesting one. Texas has a very colorful history and if you're a history buff it's rife with all sorts of little gems. Many assert that Texas can secede from the Union based on a couple of things:
1) The fact that the U.S. Constitution does not prohibit secession
2) Language in the original Texas Constitution of 1836 and repeated in the Post-Reconstruction Constitution of 1876 which can be interpreted to support this view.

However, in 1869 the U.S. Supreme Court rendered a 5-3 decision in Texas v. White basically stating that secession is illegal. It's fun to talk about though because it gets everyone all riled up.

If I was a nation, I'd totally recognize Texas as an own foreign nation. So they should simply stop paying taxes now, Washington threatens with federal police actions monday, on tuesday Chuck Noris joins the Texas national guard on wednesday and Texas declares independance on friday.
Don't make me wait, cowboys. wink


I find this Cybersecurity Act more interesting. When I saw Die Hard 4, and they accessed trafic lights via internet, I only thought "That's stupid, there is no reason, trafic lights should be accessible from the internet."
-Could it be, that reality has more to do with "stupid" then with "reason"?

75% of Texans wouldn't want to secede

While i think that it's just a minority of extreme-conservatives talking out their ass, i really wouldn't want Texas to secede from the Union.



Yeah, 25% wanting to secede sounds high to me. I'd want to hear the question they were asked. Even crazy extreme-conservatives in Texas like to live in America. Maybe the poll asked about it in the abstract? surreal



only 18% said they wanted secession. the other 7% weren't sure.

Even 18% for secession sounds high. They say those are findings made from a poll of 500 random phone calls. Maybe this is enough of a sampling to get an accurate picture, but how many of us actually take unsolicited after work phone calls?

Here is another of their national random poll findings for the week:
Only 34% Now Blame Humans for Global Warming.

You realize the tree story is fake, right? The most that could happen is having a seed sprout. A tree can't grow two inches without sunlight. whatever
