Badtux the Snarky Penguin

In a time of chimpanzees, I was a penguin.

Religious fundamentalists are motivated by the sneaking suspicion that someone, somewhere, is having fun -- and that this must be stopped.

Give me liberty, or ... err, what was the question again?

Then and now:

1775, Patrick Henry: "Is life so dear, or peace so sweet, as to be purchased at the price of chains and slavery? Forbid it, Almighty God! I know not what course others may take; but as for me, give me liberty, or give me death!"

2006, Joe American: "Give me liberty, but first give me 10c/gallon gasoline, an SUV in every driveway, and perfect safety for myself and my children, and oh, eternal life too -- forget that 'death' crap!'

Devolution in action...

I'm listening to Devo 2.0 after downloading it from my favorite legal music site RussionMafiaMusic.com. I usually don't like these pre-teen cover bands, but Devo's mission was always to make their music as souless as possible. Devo 2.0 really is a step up in that reguard.

"Keep fighting for freedom and justice, beloveds, but don't forget to have fun doin' it. Lord, let your laughter ring forth. Be outrageous, ridicule the fraidy-cats, rejoice in all the oddities that freedom can produce." -- Molly Ivins, 1944-2007 "The penalty good men pay for indifference to public affairs is to be ruled by evil men."

-- Plato
