If Looks Could Kill - Graphic Art & Design

Laura Bush, self-righteous fuck from the bowels of hell, treated herself to neck surgery for a pinched nerve. WTF, bitch?!

It’s your “god’s will” you are so fond of speaking to, when you and your ignorant husband DENY stem cell research funding. You fuck!

You deserve no benefits of the science and medical technology that you so oppose. Let the Jebus sort it out, I’m sure he’s got your best interest at heart.

On Howard Stern today, they had a guy on with concrete examples of songs that Led Zeppelin STOLE from other artists, not even crediting them (until taken to court). Makes me sincerely wish they had a deal with the devil instead. :|

It’s similar to realizing that Lichtenstein merely traced 50’s comics frames to create his paintings, which I’d previously loved.

Whoever wrote this article hated his ass. However, they mention some things I’d not heard about him:

• He “suggested that the deepest way to demonstrate one’s love for another is to eat their excrement”
• Congratulated the dictator (Francisco Franco) on political tortures and assassinations
• Enjoyed hearing of transport disasters

He had just earned a master’s degree at Texas A&M University in Shakespearean literature, but he was too restless for academia.

“September 11th had a profound effect on him. He didn’t want to be there in 20 years talking about the war,” Jennifer said. “He wanted to be making changes in the world, instead of complaining about them.”

I find these particularly fascinating, just no time to elaborate. Well worth the read.

Make no mistake, I still think their president sucks, I didn’t select him either time. However, I feel for the soldiers’ plight.

I can understand protesting fox hunting, but to partake in eating the same breed of dog that the Queen fancies?

Yes, it garners media-attention to the issue, but you are fighting savagery with savagery. You are as barbaric as they are.

I understand the creature was previously deceased, but we don’t eat dog in civilized culture!

Yoko Ono took a bite too. Bunch’a savages in this town.
