John Edwards attempted to Kill Vice President Dick Cheney at the VP debate last night by trying to induce a heart attack in the poor old fellow. Cheney fought back the angina attacks and managed to win the debate and came across as a warm, Santa Clause-like granfathery figure. Edwards came across as a potential assassin. This was a wrestling match with no physical contact, but Cheney won the debate by going back to the conservative core of the republican party, in stark contrast to the neo-conservative slant that President George W. Bush presents. Just be glad that Lieberman wasn't vice president at the time of Sept. 11, 2001. Cheney knew what to do. Lieberman would have banned a few more movies and TV shows and Gore would have helped his wife ban music. In effect, Bush and Cheney may not be perfect, and their intell may sometimes lack substantial backing, but a Gore/Lieberman administration would have made us so much more like the Taliban controlled era of Afghanistan than we, as Americans, would have stood for. Well, maybe the die-hard demoncrats would have stood for it, but none of the true blue-blooded citizens that make our nation great. Congratulations to Mr. Cheney, and to think that they posted his obituary three years ago. Reports of his death may have been greatly overstated.

It has come to my attention that this guy must be autistic. He appeared, and has been nothing but a John Kerry cheerleader since I can last remember. He isn't exactly a liberal, since he supported Gore in 2000. But what is he? I think that he is a bot paid for by the Kerry campaign to overrun newsblogs and recommendation systems with propaganda. He has no info on his profile, and he offers no insight into anything. He seems to have no position based on issues. In short, he seems like one of those 60's college kids who chanted "McGovern" at rallies so that he would seem cool and get laid...or he's a bot. Weigh in on this.

Okay Anne, you've apparently begged for this. Now, speaking as a fan of horror film and literature who is thoroughly sick of all things vampiric, I am perfectly qualified to respond to your very cantankerous rant (which may very well stand as my favorite piece penned by you). As a preface, I will state that the Vampire Chronicles have rarely interested me. I felt that Jordan fleshed out "Interview..." beautifully, limiting the source material's pretentiousness in ways that served your reputation better than it possibly deserved. Michael Rymer, on the other hand, captured all of that pretentiousness at the expense of anything that I could possibly deem entertaining. In fact, I have read the books themeselves and found that both adaptations improved upon your dry, overly-romanticized work. Christ, at least the Innovation comics adaptations gave me some nice paintings to look at while suffering through the stale tale. Now, Ramses the Damned, to be fair, was superior to the adaptation, but remember, I am a bit sick of vampires. Now, without further adieu, let's tackle your screed! Never in all my years have I seen such an unprofessional attack on fans by an author. Even Ricky Nelson had the decency to write his feelings on the matter into a song (see "Garden Party"). The level of Chutzpah that you have acheived here gives me pause and I approach this post with a tinge of admiration at your nerve. You have given your work five stars, which seems to classify you as either the ultimate egotist or clinically insane. Certainly, there is some aspect of this work that you feel could use a bit of... [ Read More (0.6k in body) ]

RE: Amazon.com: Books: Blood Canticle (The Vampire Chronicles)

Ralph Nader has made it on the Florida ballot, despite the best efforts of those bastions of tolerance and free-thought, the Democrats, to stifle his voice as a candidate. The funniest part of this article is when DNC chariman Terry McAuliffe says, "The fact that Ralph Nader secured a place on the Florida ballot by means of the Pat Buchanan Reform Party speaks for itself. In state after state, Nader has become an extension of the Republican Party and their corporate backers."

Well, talk about mudslinging. If the Dems attacked Bush with the ferocity they have reserved for a true liberal (which they are definitely NOT), then maybe they would have a chance of winning the election whether Nader was there to "spoil" this already rotten system or not. If they even made the effort to ditch their own corporate backers (many the same as the GOP's backers), then they would possibly have a chance of acheiving some decent populist social change. Instead, they are bullies who distort liberalism. Yes, Bush may be a wolf, but at least he doesn't wear sheep's clothing.

First thing Hitler did was make destruction of the flag a crime. They throw this stupid issue around all the time. It's a waste of time and a smokescreen and barely deserves being commented upon. Stick to real issues that lie behind this. By the way, flag-burning doesn't equate social commentary. It merely enrages people who lead normal lives and feel a bit patriotic. They are not evil and do not need further baiting by anyone to further turn them against what they already view as a demonic liberal presence in the US. Why not change your tactics to be inclusive instead of divisive? A paragraph, well-worded and cogent, is more valuable than a fucked up shithead burning a flag. Besides, arson is already illegal, so burning the flag is by proxy, unless you are doing it on your own property. So, save us the bullshit, k, and think for a change.

You started this shit with that bastard Tom! Why the fuck ain't you been posting anything!?! Christ MAn! Do your goddam job! I mean, I do more fucking work on memestreams than you do lately! And Tell that Elonka chick what I think of her. Her profile makes her seem lame. She needs to get stoned.

Ashcroft is on the job! Maybe this will help stop you from stealing movies and music. It's better than rounding everyone up and shooting them, isn't it? Now that the FBI is tackling the issue head-on, maybe it will make some people think about their actions. Anyhow, I doubt Kerry will take your side either. Don't you know that Hollywood has our two loyal parties in their pockets?

Here are links to two fun sites! Lara Roxx was the French-Canadian porn star who got AIDS from doing a double anal sex scene with Darren James. She is sometimes called Lara Coxx, and other times, Lana Roxx and other times Laura Roxx. If you care to see the Anus that launched 1,000 AIDS tests, it can be viewed (along with the rest of her) at

For those of you who care to realize this sites promise of shooting the shit with the self-professed "HIV infected porn star," and aspiring filmmmaker, visit

A grand old time is to be had by all, and remember, AIDS is not transferrable over the net!
