I was honestly surprised by the fact that the “Worldwide White Man March” wasn’t just some sort of Onion thing. Then I went to the site and they are giving out “goosestepper” medals for having a banner hung.

Organized by a white guy from Massachusetts named Kyle Hunt, the White Man March, as it was called, was intended to be a worldwide, semi-coordinated effort of oppressed white men to demand their rights and fight back against “diversity,” which, in their telling, is a codeword for “white genocide”:

“We will make it clear that we will not sit idly by as our race is discriminated against, mocked, displaced, and violently attacked, all of which amount to white genocide, according to the United Nation’s own definition of genocide. This is why one of our big messages, which will be displayed on many large banners, is ‘DIVERSITY” = WHITE GENOCIDE.’ These banners will spread the message to the public at large in the most effective way possible. This “diversity” agenda is being directed at white countries (and only at white countries) with various programs to ensure that there are less white people at schools and in the work force, which is unfair and discriminatory, taking away money and opportunities from the White citizens. ‘Diversity’ is a codeword for White Genocide.”

In the beginning, everything was working out for K.Hunt – who bears a striking resemblance to every white actor in “12 Years a Slave” – and the “White Man March” seemed to be set to go without a hitch. Organizer Kyle Hunt was immaculate with every single detail. He even told marches how to dress by stating:

“If you are a man, put on a pair of light khakis and a nice dress shirt. It should almost look like you are a groomsman at a wedding. Or maybe like an avenging Aryan angel. Women, you know how to look great in white. You could also wear sunglasses. Ancient warriors knew that a mask covering the eyes offers protection, but also provides the wearer with extra confidence. Sunglasses can intimidate others who cannot see your eyes, while making you seem cool and collected. This look is good if there might be hostile crowds.”

‘During his successful campaign for the presidency in 1912, Woodrow Wilson, Ph.D., the former president of Princeton University, was asked whether he believed in evolution. He replied, “that of course like every other man of intelligence and education I do believe in organic evolution. It surprises me that at this late date such questions should be raised.” Theodore Roosevelt, his predecessor in the White House, wrote in “My Life as a Naturalist” about his childhood reading: “Thank Heaven, I sat at the feet of Darwin and Huxley.”‘

Alrighty handsome young men: update your rentboy profiles, polish your shitkickers, brush off your assless chaps. I have a feeling there will be a good work opportunity for you in the near future….

One of the Koch Brothers – of the let’s-destroy-the-world-for-profit-and-whatthehell-let’s-take-out-democracy-while-we’re-at-it-lol Kochs – is spending his zillions on a cool fake Western town. The Colorado “town” has 50 buildings, including a saloon, a church, a jail, a firehouse, a livery and a train station. Soon, it will have a mansion on a hill so the town’s founder can look down on his creation. The fake town is the culmination of “Bill” Koch’s Oldsey Timesy West perversion.  It sits on a 420-acre meadow on his Bear Ranch below the Raggeds Wilderness Area in Gunnison County.

Don’t get too excited, loser! You’re not invited. Nope Billy Koch just built himself a whole empty town, unpolluted by our ilk — unless he brings in one or two of us for a humdinger of a round of The Most Dangerous Game. There is a locked gate with guards screens who comes and goes. This town is simply for Bill Koch’s amusement and for that of his family and friends.

Anyhoo, dude’s got a LOT of money to throw around, and sharing is for queers and French people. Speaking of French people, they invented this, namely the charming, picturesque “hameau” at Versailles, where Marie A could pretend to be a simple shepherdess (while wearing 80 pounds of diamonds, and shoes that cost the equivalent of the national debt). The grounds of Versailles used to be totally private, too, prior to the revolution that resulted in Marie Antoinette and the ‘Sun King’ getting beheaded and the grounds turned over to the public. Be careful, Mr. Koch.  Or, should I say: watch your head.I heard that someone once heard one of the Koch brothers respond to a question about the hungry with “Let them eat Dioxin”.

The movie “Westworld”, before the robots go beserk and kill everyone.

If Billy Koch’s Kountry Kavalcade is going for realism they will need some syphilitic prostitutes and a sheriff to collect guns from the new arrivals.

I love fake towns. I would like my own fake town. I have a huge collection of Breyer model horses. They are coming out of my ears. I have run out of room for my plastic horse models. I would like a fake dude ranch for my Breyer horses. I would invite all of you. Because I have friends. This is one liberal who welcomes Koch spending his money on his boyhood dream. In fact, more please. That way he and his brother will spend less money on buying elections to buy politicians to pollute the planet.

If a guy wants to make billions of dollars digging up oil and selling it to people and lobbying so that we use more oil and gas and spend millions to shift political opinion and go out of his way to preserve a long-standing, highly detrimental way of life solely so that he can live a lifestyle that is so far beyond what a moral person would find acceptable that it basically makes the Curiosity rover’s trip to Mars look like you headed to your bathroom, that’s his right. This is America. But, as a small a smattering of Americans get richer and richer, we will see more of this. Guys like Billy Koch will finder it increasingly difficult  to come up with gets cost-effective ways of spending their loot amusing themselves. fake towns, weather machines, billionaires need to either plot schemes for world domination or else build replica towns at vast expense.These people are of the Manifest Destiny-Social Darwinism off-shoot of the human race. They are genetically able to reproduce with real human beings, but all they produce are sterile mules.

meet the cosmos animation team!

by kara on March 12, 2014

The Cosmos animation team from left to right Production Manager Allie Crane; Assistant Director Andrew Brandou (behind me), Supervising Director Woods and Director Lucas Gray.

In addition to his work on Cosmos, Brent Woods is also one of the Supervising Directors on American Dad and was the very first artist I hired back in 2003 to direct the American Dad pilot presentation for Fox. Brent is wildly talented and tireless and the linchpin of our creative team, everything goes through him. After his experience on Cosmos, he will also be a master glass blower.  Andrew Brandou has been a color stylist on The Cleveland Show as well as many other television shows, and is an accomplished fine artist, illustrator and graphic designer. Andrew was the art director for me on In The Realms of the Unreal, a feature documentary about outsider artist Henry Darger. He is a masterful and resourceful artist and researcher. Lucas Gray has been a director on Family Guy and on The Simpsons and directed and highly acclaimed piece Why Obama Now?“, a three-minute video, narrated by a speech Obama delivered at the Associated Press Luncheon in April of 2012, in which he breaks down the concept of “trickle-down” with swift, precise and visually-clear animation. Seth and I call Lucas “The Master Explainer”, thus I needed him on Cosmos. Allie simply makes the train run, every day, rain or shine. Nothing would have ever gotten turned in without her. At the end of the Cosmos production, she will have fielded eleven thousand phone calls from Brent.

All are now gentlemen and gentlewomen of science.

CPAC Fashion

by kara on March 9, 2014

Furries are EVERYWHERE at CPAC. But what else is going on at America’s Favorite Comedy Convention, fashion-wise?

Here is Newt-lover Foster Friess in a jacket stitched together from the hides of baby pandas and rubbed to a golden sheen with the earwax of Rick Santorum’s children. The gazillionaire likes to kills things specially to sew into an outfit for when you step on stage to introduce the man whose primary run you financed with the change from your jet’s cupholders. Is there any doubt which species provided the hide for Foster Friess’s jacket? Let’s just say he killed it himself while hunting the ultimate prey.

At first it was baffling. There seems no upside for Putin. He risks crippling sanctions and nasty diplomatic problems for years to come from the rest of the world, not to mention the real risk of civil war in the Ukraine that would be hideously expensive and tax his relatively small military – it’s no “Red Army”.

So.. why. you ask, is he doing this?  Substitute “Bush” for “Putin” and you’ll have your answer.

The news this morning had Angela Merkel saying Vlad’s lost his marbles, on an endless loop, and I began to wonder how Pravda covered Iraq…and then I realized, holy fuck, this was us ten years ago.

America should be asking itself: When we decided to be the world’s policeman and go into Iraq and Afghanistan and Libya (albeit with NATO on those last two), did we think that it would stop there? Did we believe that Russia (and I’m sure, China soon) won’t harbor similar ambitions but will more directly use their might for their direct benefit? It would be one thing if we had a consistent rule: If a government is slaughtering its people, the rest of the world has to stop it, and a country’s leadership should be decided by internationally monitored elections. We could at least argue that position regardless of national interest, but yeah we gave up all the high moral ground with Iraq.

We just need to go to our highlight reel from the Chimpy years: calling a government “illegitimate” because we don’t like its leader and then bombing the country back to the stone age while racing toward the capital, etc. It is kind of awkward (and oh so boring), watching John Kerry tell Russia that they can’t just invade a country simply because they want to – I hope Russia doesn’t have cable teevee or the internets or soundbites to replay in response.

In any case, we should just give them Dick Cheney.

 

“I told ya so!” – Sarah Palin

Once again the principle of saying a lot of words all the time, some are sure to make sense, and even possibly apply to something. Foreign Policy magazine commented “an extremely far-fetched scenario” — I think the editor actually called it bat-shit crazy. But, you know, Legal. Yes Sarah you were right about a thing. Congrats on you’re first time, it should be a special moment to look back on. But news flash: Putin’s actions have nothing to do with who is in the White House. He’d be doing it if McCain, Romney, or god forbid, you were in there. This may come as a surprise yo you and your dim-witted followers, but there’s a whole set of geopolitical and historical factors in the world that don’t involve or revolve around America. And because Georgia was totally invaded during Obama’s term…oh wait…that was during Bush’s tenure! Hey Sarah, were you predicting mass protests and the pro-Russian government being overthrown in Obama’s 2nd term? No you threw some wildly out of nowhere prediction based off of zero backing and playing it off that it would immediately happen. Shut your gloss coated pie-hole and go count the filthy cash you collect from the idiots who blindly send it to you.

Over the last couple of months I’ve been compulsively watching coverage of #Bridgeghazi, analyzing Chris Christie as he explains and, well, lies. Something struck me when he was talking about the accusations, and about the friends and staff members he was throwing under the bus. It was like a poker “tell”. I’ve seen this before, the needless specificity to add credibility to what one is about to tell you. I remembered two compulsive liars I’ve known, how they looked when they were making it up as they went along, like Christie. The nervous restless eyes, the “micro expression” (see: Richard Nixon), the constant verbal vomit of of information, the absolutely sure, often dismissive tone when they were proclaiming someone else to be at fault. And how as the liar’s story changes, spinning it as the truth, without shame or regard to the previous–different–story he told.

Christie’s 2-hour long, at-times incoherent #Bridghazi press conference meandered on without revealing conspicuous malice. His long, labyrinthine explanations offered up an abundance of information and specific details that had nothing to do with the question of his guilt as a way of validating his claim of innocence. He indicated nine separate times that he was “interviewing his staff “and would continue to interview them. He details conversations with people he said are not involved – why take up valuable time talking to us about your talking to innocent people? If you want to find who is guilty, talk to those you know are guilty. At one point, he said:

“And so now, having been proven wrong, of course we’ll work cooperatively with the investigations. And you know, I’m going through an examination, as I mentioned to you, right now. That’s what I’m doing. I’m going through an examination and talking to the individual people who work for me, not only to discover if there’s any other information we need find, but also to ask them: How did this happen? How did, you know, how did this, you know, occur to us?”

Christie gave the appearance of being cooperative by offering up details, but the details he gives lead to no real information except to tell us how serious he is about interviewing.
