Ogre-oids; supplemental

In the original Star Trek, Kirk would at times announce "Captain's Log, supplemental". As I've been away for a couple of weeks, here are some Ogre-oids of recent interest.

NYPD Stop-and-frisk: Taking shallowness to new depths, the city graced by the Statue of Liberty has been randomly stopping, frisking, and interrogating U. S. residents. Apparently, the people of NY couldn't care less. Maybe they think if the city throws away enough civil liberties, the World Trade Center will sprout out of Ground Zero. That kind of superstition is consistent with the primitive tactics of the NYPD, and American law enforcement in general. Any halfway decent group of adults who call themselves Americans wouldn't stand for this kind of thing, regardless if it were (surprise, surprise) happening mostly to minorities, who, never having had it that great in our land of equality, can now be profiled as terrorists. Obviously it is undesirable to harass, intimidate, and humiliate people because they live in bodies. That's basically what this tactic amounts to. And spare me the chickenshit crap about how this is all to make New Yorkers--once notorious for their toughness and indepedence--"safer." Cops acting like punks didn't stop some assfuck from Pakistan from parking a car with a bomb in the middle of Times Square. Listen: the more people you piss off and alienate, the more danger you are inviting into your life. Let's be up front about all this: the tyranny of post-September 11 America is for fun, and we all know it. Beyond that it is completely pointless. Tactics such as stop and frisk are brutish, mean-spirited, ex-jock reactions to a national tragedy that has already happened and cannot be neutralized or redeemed no matter how much carnage, mutilation, and humiliation we can heep on other people. How does imposing martial law on Americans preserve the American way of life in face of a terrorist threat? Turning Virginia Tech's campus into a military, lock-down fortress does nothing to bring back to life the 30+ people slaughtered by an insane man who got his hands on two handguns. All this acting tough and strong and pretending to be ready for something that's already happened because people weren't ready for it is like turning a fire hose on a pile of ashes, then calling yourself a hero. Never waver!

Obesity: Next time you want to learn about how fat and ugly America is, instead of reading more goddamn "information" about it, go to the beach. Last week at the Outer Banks of N.C. I watched in sublime disgust as at least half of the younger adults and children at the shores of the Atlantic were obese. I didn't say anything about on my life-feed on Podcast 24 because you can't get away from them and being on vacation I didn't feel like insulting people to their faces (for once). One of our neighbors was a heaping mound of fat sluting around in a two piece! We'll find Osama bin Laden before another person finds her blubber-shrouded cunt. Yes, entrepreneurs everywhere can start the next big hit at 34th and 7th--provocative beachwear for people who weigh more than an office copier. A four year old was so fat her arms have a circumfrance bigger than my thighs. Once we returned to the corporate shithole of Rocky Mount, the hits kept coming. On our only trip out to a restaurant, we saw another gigantic tub of lard whoof down not one but two calzones like they were oyster crackers. Of course, this isn't a problem since America is a free country: you can be as fat as you want, eat as much shit as you want, be as big an asshole as you want, buy and shoot as many guns as you want, look at as many obese or mutilated bodies as you want, and hate everyone's guts to boot!

Powerless President Obama continues to be exposed as a typically American "didn't-see-the-next-big-disaster-coming-and-AGAIN-wasn't-ready-for-it" clueless asswipe corporate buttplug as the oil continues gushing into the Gulf. Fortunately for us, the oil hadn't made it to the Outer Banks . . . yet.
