SO, everyone heard Kim Kardashian and Kanye West are having a baby? If you haven't, a) I envy you- I truly do, because it's probably due to b) you haven't had to stand in a long grocery line lately. Now, typically this would be a subject for my other blog- the one that is fun. This, however, must be said here, as I am about to rant most profanely.
How goddamn sad is it that your average American is intimately aware of the details in the private lives of self centered ass hats and gold digging whores, but cannot tell you what their President or his Congress's voting record/ performance history on issues are? Aside from the political angle, how utterly pathetic is it that Americans are giving these two a pass on their long history of abhorrent behavior simply because the Average Americans' naughty bits tingle when they see them? "Oh, I see you fucked over every person you've ever met, but since you make my genitals twinge, I am not going to hold you accountable." If you're someone who thinks that way, just don't speak to me.
Sometimes I wonder if it's really true that the overwhelming majority of Americans- rich or poor, black or white, blue or red- are nothing more than barely sentient talking monkeys, eagerly awaiting instructions from the glowy/ talky box in their living room on how to think, act, and what to believe.Kids aren't being taught about Nazis or the Holocaust in school anymore- unless their English teacher has a section on dystopian society. it gets a passing mention. I know of actual high school students who believe that Nazis are "just the bad guys from old Indiana Jones movies. They're not real." But they can tell you all about what Lady Gaga wore at the latest awards show. Good job, parents!
Speaking of neglectful parents, hey idiots- You, not your kids teacher, are responsible for making your kid study at home. You, not mall security, are responsible for supervising your child while shopping- and keeping them safe from harm. You, not me, are responsible for your "reproductive medicine," because frankly if you can't afford kids, don't fuck. Oh, you're a single mom and don't you deserve to have some fun? No, you don't- you lost that privilege when you decided to have children via unprotected, non-marital sex. Oh, you have child support payments that keep you from being able to buy a sea doo? Maybe next time you'll wear a condom, jack hole. You should be grateful it's a child support payment and not an AZT prescription.
Having re- read most of this, I am thinking maybe I should just stop going grocery shopping with the Mrs. Especially around the time these people get their welfare checks. They have iPhone 4's, their kids have iPod shuffles, and they're using food stamps. What in the righteous fuck?
