I REALLY Hate My Wife and I Wish She Was Dead!!

Ha-ha-ha!

I don't go "The Galloping Beaver" so much anymore. There's some good contributors to that blog, but lately it seems like it's "Edstock"'s private blog. Here's the "joke" printed at that link:

The wife has been missing a week now.

Police said to prepare for the worst.

So, I went to the thrift shop to get all of her clothes back.

I've always found this source of humour to be extremely tedious. Everybody laughing at comedians who say how husbands and wives hate each other. If you hate each other so much, divorce. It's fucking pathetic. Don't wish each other dead. Christ, I just can't understand it. Much less making a joke based on the possible murder of one's spouse. It's kinda disgusting really.

"Edstock" was on a roll this week. Commenting on an embedded YouTube video of a girl flipping an attempted assailant over her head, "Edstock" has this to say about the virtues of teaching self-defense:

The point is, especially if you are female, unless you were so ugly as a child your parents had to tie a pork chop around your neck to get the dog to play with you, learning how to fight for real is a depressingly desirable skill.

Yes. Because "ugly" girls are immune from the threat of rape, right? "Ugly" girls never get assaulted for any reason. Who gives a shit about "ugly" girls anyway? They're useless. (Well, maybe they can be good cooks or something. "If you want to be happy for the rest of you life ..."

Language like that really isn't "progressive."

"Edstock" occasionally posts some decent stuff regarding working class economics. But I don't care. There's too much idiocy about weapons (which one uses to "take-out" criminal scum), or about how Arab women should show some skin for Chrissakes, or how the Palestinians in Hamas, or the guys in Hezbollah are just strutting morons, fighting Israel for no reason except that they hate Jews and haven't figured out that they're getting their asses kicked.

And if you call the guy on any of this shit, he replies with some stock phrases that tickled his fancy twenty years ago: "If you throw dirt, you lose ground," coupled with an uncanny ability to miss the point.

Anyhoo, ... I just had to vent.
