A Very, Very Good Idea
By DOUG THOMPSON
Sep 9, 2005, 06:37
Ben Marble, a Gulfport resident who says he’s a doctor, had the guts
to wade into Vice President ***** Cheney’s carefully-staged photo op
Thursday and say what many residents of the Gulf Coast wanted to say
to the politicians who sat on their butts while the people of
Mississippi and Louisiana lay dead and dying.
"Go ***** yourself Mr. Cheney," Marble screamed just off camera as the
event played out live on CNN.
"Go ***** yourself you *****!"
Secret Service agents subdued Marble and CNN yanked the video off its
web site but copies of it float around the Internet and Marble, who’s
homeless after Katrina destroyed his Gulfport home, is offering a copy
for sale on EBay.
Republicans, of course, jumped in with carefully-crafted indignation
over Marble’s "inappropriate remarks" to Cheney, forgetting the Vice
President used the same words to tell off a Senator just last year.
Cheney offered his outburst of obscenity because that Senator had the
gall to question his relationship with scandal-scarred Halliburton,
the company he used to run and that’s now ripping off taxpayers in
Iraq.
All Marble had to be upset about was loss of his home, death of close
friends and family and destruction of the city he loved.
Yet Marble, who also plays with punk rock bands in the Gulfport area,
could become the symbol of frustration felt not only by residents of
the hard hit area but every American who recoils in shock and anger at
the government’s lackluster and uncompassionate response to the
horror, death and destruction left in the wake of Hurricane Katrina.
Jefferson Parish president Aaron Broussard cried without shame on
national television this week, saying the federal "bureaucracy has
committed murder here in the Greater New Orleans area."
Newscasters abandoned their traditionally-stoic on screen personas and
openly challenged attempts by politicians to spin the event.
"Oh come on Senator, let’s forget the hype and talk about the people
dying here in the streets," CNN’s Anderson Cooper said to Senator Mary
Landrieu after she recited a canned political speech about "how proud
I am of the way Congress has responded to this tragedy."
On NBC’s Meet the Press, host Tim Russert could not conceal his anger
when he opened an interview with incompetent Homeland Security
secretary Michael Chertoff with a curt "are you, or anybody who
reports to you, considering resignation?"
Even those who make their living coming up with excuses for Bush
couldn’t keep a straight face.
When Fox News blowhard Bill O’Reilly offered the usual administration
spin, pseudo-journalist Geraldo Rivera shot back with:
"This is Dante’s Inferno, Bill. There is no way to sugarcoat it. This
is the worst thing I’ve seen in a civilized nation."
And it is.
The debacle is a monumental failure of government at all levels, an
inability to serve the citizens when that service is most needed.
Even right-wing Republican firebrand Newt Gingrich, the former Speaker
of the House who masterminded the GOP takeover of Congress, recognizes
this in memos he recently sent to fellow party members.
"For the last week the federal government and its state and local
counterparts have consistently been behind the curve," Gingrich said
in a tartly-worded missive to Republicans.
"The American people overwhelmingly know that the current situation is
totally unacceptable. It is a mistake to get trapped into defending
the systems and processes which clearly failed."
Gingrich suggests it is time to stop the useless argument about
"values" in government and politics and realize that those elected to
serve the people are in the business of delivering services to the
people.
"We're not in a values fight now but over whether the system is
working," Gingrich told Washington Post columnist David Ignatius.
"The issue is delivery."
When it came time to deliver to the hundreds of thousands of victims
of Hurricane Katrina, government failed.
And when our government fails to deliver, it should, as Dr. Ben Marble
so aptly suggested to Vice President ***** Cheney, prove it can also
fail at the difficult anatomical act of self-intercourse.

bloodthirsty and deceitful men

The Subject line shows the small mind of a God Hater in action.
The "God Hater" assumes that by using schoolyard profanity that they somehow
will shock and weaken the more intellectually evolved readers here.
You must rethink your strategy.
After following a few of your disillusioned posts in here, one can only
surmise that your hatred for a divine creator only outshadows your attempts
to convince people that you do not believe in a God.
One day you are going to account for every blasphemous you ever vomited out
onto your screen whether you like it or not.
The fact that you blaspheme shows your deep hatred for God and rather than
not believing in him you only wish that you could spit in his eye if given
the chance.

Sorry, Ben, that's not a valid argument, because you start by assuming
what you want to conclude ("something created everything", therefore
"god is real").
What is clear is that:
(1) There's no compelling scientific evidence for such existence, in
fact, the odds are HUGELY against there being a lone sentient being that
even remotely fills the description. (Monotheism is, by virtue of only
allowing one god, assuredly false in any sense of the term.)
(2) Whatever supernatural powers such a being might possess, it is even
more unlikely primitive goat herders living thousands of years ago got
the inside scoop, and accurately documented this being in religious
texts.
Given both these, that "something" should NOT be called "god". The god
of religious organizations is nothing more than a meme, infecting
generation after generation of humans through childhood brainwashing,
and is used to control societies and to garner wealth and power. That's
the only sense in which god is real.

I never said that 'God' was a 'sentient' being. In fact if one were to
try to pidgeon hole me into any one group I am certainly more close to
being an 'atheist' than any sort of religious type of person. I merely
created this concept of "God" bc all of the major religions define
their version of "God" as the creator of everything so it is basically
an atheistic concept of "God" that should be applicable to all humans
who understand simple logic....i.e. quit trying to read too much into it

Perhaps I misunderstood what you meant by "SOMETHING created
EVERYTHING". When you make the leap that the SOMETHING is a "spiritual
deity", then you've crossed over into the land of sentient beings.
Sentience is a core attribute of theists' gods, otherwise where would we
get rules like "thou shalt have no gods before me", or "don't eat
pork"...
If you are you asserting that god is nothing more than the laws of
physics and biology, then your definition of god is so far removed from
the common definitions as to be a misuse of the word.

You're the one who starts from a standpoint of "God" and imagines
everybody else has to do that as well. Not us. That was your first
mistake.

There has always been something.
This something does not include gods.

I believe you have to be a theist to hate a god. Granted with the
particular god you chose (I here assume you're talking about the
motherfucking god of the Christians), the only moral thing to do would
be to hate it if you found any evidence it exists.
The "God Hater" assumes that by using schoolyard profanity that they somehow
will shock and weaken the more intellectually evolved readers here.
You think that profanity is shocking? That's your problem. It is not
used to "weaken the more intellectually evolved readers", because that
would be a foolish idea. Also, did you read the article? It's about a
guy who told Cheney to go ***** himself.
You must rethink your strategy.
After following a few of your disillusioned posts in here, one can only
surmise that your hatred for a divine creator only outshadows your attempts
to convince people that you do not believe in a God.
That is, of course, only if one is a moron and a troll.
One day you are going to account for every blasphemous you ever vomited out
onto your screen whether you like it or not.
No. It's not a question of liking it. It's the simple fact that there's
no reason to think that your magic book that told you about it isn't a
load of hooey, and even less to think that your self-contradictory
pixie exists.
The fact that you blaspheme shows your deep hatred for God and rather than
It could just be that he thinks it's funny to see idiots like you get
upset. Or it could be that you think simple disbelief is blasphemy.
not believing in him you only wish that you could spit in his eye if given
the chance.
If it turns out that your god (again, assuming the ***** god)
exists, I will spit in its eye. But as it is, I expect I'll just rot in
the ground.
