Blithe SatireBlithe Satire - LiveJournal.comI Love Her, That's Why I Bought Her- April 26, 2004 Have you noticed a new trend of people buying other people People adopting children from countries where you just have to put down a wad of cash and you come home with a mini-you. At first it was a practice (under the guise of adoption fees) just relegated to US based seedy (and for some reason usually religious) private organizations, and most people when they adopted other human beings this way kept it to themselves, because buying another human being used to be thought of as distasteful,...http://blithe-satire.livejournal.com/15847.html Why I Still Buy Second Hand Clothes- April 21, 2004 Exploitation comes in different forms. Here in the city of Los Angeles there are many people who are pretty concerned about the oppression of people in less economically successful countries, they are quite appalled by things such as child labor, slave wages, and the other nastiness in the clothing industry. Those appalling things that make dressing fashionably a political experience. Many people in the know try very hard to support people who pay a livable wage by paying a little extra for...http://blithe-satire.livejournal.com/15138.html A Story- LoJack isn't the Best Deterrent- April 19, 2004 Once upon a time there was a village in township of the Angels and inside a co-op dwelling there were eight Angelenos, writer Angeleno with her so computer guy Angeleno, playwright Angeleno with his so director Angeleno, teacher Angeleno with her so unemployed Angeleno, and restaurant manager Angeleno with her dog, dog Angeleno, they were all living in perfect harmony until playwright Angeleno and his so moved out, not because he had a hit play, because no one goes the theatre in western...http://blithe-satire.livejournal.com/14918.html Giving Mrs. Smith the Finger Wasn't Very Nice- April 18, 2004 Do you ever wonder why we seem to get so mad at our neighbor, the guy who drives the SUV or the mom who drives the minivan, but dont seem to get as livid at the Mercedes or Porsche driverWe might make a little sarcastic comment, but no one says much to the Jaguar driver. Luxury sedans and exotic sports cars use just as much gas, they arent exactly environmentally friendly, but for some reason the average person doesnt seem to get as mad at an individual who purchases these vehicles as he does...http://blithe-satire.livejournal.com/14780.html A Thank You Letter from Corporate America- April 15, 2004 April 15, 2004To Middle Class America:I heard that many of you were a little upset about the recent headlines of us paying less than you for taxes. Id like to take some time to clear up this misunderstanding.Why do you as a middle class American pay more for taxes than a corporation, because you dont create jobs, you dont help the economy, you dont give millions of dollars to politicians campaigns, and because you havent worked hard enough to afford an accountant that can put your money into...http://blithe-satire.livejournal.com/14406.html Dying isn't Relative- April 14, 2004 When the draft comes back do you think people will get upset I didnt say if I said when, because it is coming back. I read between the lines of last nights commitment speech.Q Thank you, Mr. President. What's your best prediction on how long U.S. troops will have to be in Iraq And it sounds like you will have to add some troops; is that a fair assessment THE PRESIDENT: Well, I -- first of all, that's up to General Abizaid, and he's clearly indicating that he may want more troops. It's coming up.http://blithe-satire.livejournal.com/14043.html There is No America in Team- April 10, 2004 Apathy used to really make me physically angry. I would have conversations with people and I would say, What do you think about this proposition or that candidate or this time in history. Then a person would say something like, Im not really that political. So maybe it wasnt so much a conversation, but an interrogation and then I would think, what kind of insaneness is this, a person lives in a place where they have the right to be informed and they are choosing not to be ignorant. I thought...http://blithe-satire.livejournal.com/13127.html Jesus is Contacting a Lawyer- April 9, 2004 The school board of the Orange County city of Westminster has decided that better not have 40 million dollars than to protect human beings who refuse to identify with what we are use to seeing in regards to gender.Wow, while I cant help but wish more left wingers would spurn millions of dollars for their principles there is something about hate, based on what is simply a label that keeps me from admiring them. So who are the offending school board members; Judy Ahrens, Helena Rutkowski, Blossie.http://blithe-satire.livejournal.com/12824.html You Owe Us- April 8, 2004 People who use the first amendment to hide their self serving purposes annoy me. Im not for censorship Im pro-porn, violence, creative expression, Im all for it. And actually something like pornography, in some regards I have a little more respect for, because they dont pretend as if they are doing more than what they are doing, they are honest. Im not about rolling back anything and I will march, protest and do what ever it takes to make sure that we all have the right to do, write, or say...http://blithe-satire.livejournal.com/12732.html So Porn Stars Dont Make Women Look Bad- April 7, 2004 I have often had conversations with people that have gone sort of like this, Oh no I hope this person isnt the same thing as me, because that will make other people like me look bad. I am not going to bring up any person in particular (i.e. Jayson Blair, William Hung, the woman that talks really loud in the movie theatre, Carson Kressley, Paul Rodriguez, Joey Butafuco, Pamela Anderson), but most people who are members of a minority group have had this conversation.This person should be ashamed..http://blithe-satire.livejournal.com/12397.html |
