Conservatives Do The Darndest Things...

While looking at some conservative blogs (it's always good to know what the opposition is saying) I came across this site: [link]. The site reminds me a lot of Homer Simpson's website, where he just posted as many little animations he could find. If you scroll down a little bit, on the right hand side, there is an animation of Bush repeatedly pounding on Jonh Kerry. After staring at it for a minute, I realized that I have seen it before. It is stolen from the scene in the movie Office Space when the three main characters decide to finally take out their aggressions on the office printer that never worked. They pasted George W. Bush's head over Michael Bolton's, when he just lost it and started punching the machine with his bare fist.

It is so unbelievable ironic that they chose such an ant-corporate, anti-capitalist movie. That scene, which could be used to represent the ideology of the entire movie, is about the triumph of human ideals over the frustrations of corporate life, and they have mutiliated it to show precisely the opposite: the triump of corporations over the American people.

Of course, I am no fan of John Kerry, but the irony of what they did is almost unbelievable. It is like when Regan funded terrorist attacks on the civilian population of Nicaragua and called it a "War On Terror". It is like how the "Clear Skys Initiative" makes the air much less clear by allowing more pollution in industrialized areas. It is like how the "No Child Left Behind" program leaves many, many children behind by withdrawing funding from failing schools, exactly the schools which need more funding.
