You suck if you think politicians are anything other than worthless lumps of arrogant, moneyed flesh. I won't argue politics with anyone whose stance is "Nuke the Towelheads" or "Bush rules!" or "God hates fags!". If you can't even develop an intelligent argument for your beliefs, you shouldn't be arguing in the first place. Read anything and everything you can get your hands on about ANYTHING, because underneath all the opposing information is the truth.
politics, anarchism, civil rights, comedy, writing, comics, clown-punching the magic spot, smoking large amounts of dried Cambodian migrant workers' undergarments, and a bunch of other buzzwords that will make you think I'm cool.
Bill Hicks, Captain Awesome, a man-faced goat, William Shatner, George Carlin, David Cross, Bob Odenkirk, Brian Posehn, my parents, your parents, my future self, my past self, Jeff Davis, boinky33, a curried infant, Che Guevara, Malcom X, Joe Piscopo, Richard Pryor, Scarlett Johansen, a pygmy marmoset, D.B. Cooper, Upton Sinclair, your mom's box, and cocaine from the future.
I don't really want to meet Joe Piscopo, but his name sounds funny so I want people to say it out loud. Someday I hope people will see me in the street and just say, "Piss-Cuh-Poe". It's my dream.
Depeche Mode, Nine Inch Nails, Simon & Garfunkel, Tool, Perfect Circle, Dick Cheese, Bill Withers, Underworld, Aphex Twin, Dirty Vegas, Dead Prez.
Pulp Fiction, Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, House of Sand and Fog, Dodgeball, Something About Mary, Reservoir Dogs, Happy Gilmore, Seven, Fight Club, Who Framed Roger Rabbit?, Punch Drunk Love, Garden State, Dawn of the Dead, the Matrix, Animatrix, and yes, Napoleon Dynamite. I realize everybody and their mother is all about that movie, but it really is a cute, funny little movie. So fuck off.
I fucking loathe TV. But when forced in a room with a TV on, I'll automatically migrate to South Park, Chappelle Show, just about anything Cartoon Network (although mostly Adult Swim and anime) and The Adventures of Pete and Pete (and the Strongest Man in the World). I also generally try to keep abreast of politics, but as we all know, the worst place in the world to get your political info is TV. That being said, I love watching FOX News, because there is no other place in the world where the lies are so thick they are actually tangible.
Dune, the Autobiography of Malcom X, Brave New World, The Jungle, Noam Chomsky, Terry Pratchett books, Douglas Adams' fiction, books about your mom, books about my mom, books about your mom and my mom touching each others' naughty parts, anything Shel Silverstein ever wrote, Fast Food Nation, Gangs of America, American Scream
Bill Hicks, and anyone and everyone who has stood up for their rights, been knocked down, and gotten the fuck back up again. Rosa Parks, Malcolm X, Che Guevara, Martin Luther King Jr., and even the REAL Jesus. People who risk their lives for TRUTH are my "heroes".
