In which I gross myself out.

New Gaybortion!: There's porn of everything.

Before you lose all respect for me, read this.

And because I can, the Ted Nugent Quote of the Day:

How, ask ye, does an old fart like that historical goofball Nuge have so much dangtootin' fun and be in total control of his adventurous life? Memorize this, kids—write it down, and spread it as far and wide as you possibly can. Ready? I CELEBRATE EACH AND EVERY DAY OF MY JOYOUS LIFE WITH SUCH INTENSITY BECAUSE I AM FIFTY-TWO YEARS CLEAN AND SOBER!

Got that? The old boy is absolutely on fire! No drugs, no alcohol*, no tobacco, no poison, no BS! No idiots getting me to buy into any numbnut peer pressure—NO WAY! Peer pressure is for stupid sheep. And ya know what sheep do don't ya? They mindlessly wander around like lost jerks and stick their sheepy nose up some other sheep's butt and follow them around with no direction of their own. In other words, they got no life. They got no spirit. They got no attitude. They got no nothin'. How worthless can a life be? Peer pressure can kiss my ass.

I know, I know. It's not as good as yesterday's. But it does highlight something I haven't ranted about in awhile, which is that I really hate Fun Conservatives. You know, those guys who like to go on about how they like rock n' roll and talk a lot about non-conformity and being a rebel? Hey, sorry. If you're going to be a conservative, accept with grace the inherent un-hipness of your political position and have the decency to be a curmudgeonly stick-in-the-mud. Face it—there's nothing cool about imperialist war games, trickle-down economies, or totalitarian control of other people's bodies and sex lives. Cool people only torture other consenting adults. Stop trying to be Wild and Crazy Fun Dad. You're embarrassing yourself.

I think it's as much an indication of the Boomer sell-out as anything else. The "don't trust anyone over 30" crowd are now in their 50s and haven't let go of the rebellious self-images of their youth, despite the fact that they are the dominant political and cultural group, they are the establishment, they are the Man.

They can no longer be politically radical—it's against their best interests to do so—but they can cherish their mythology of being the radical, badass, young, misunderstood, hard-done-by generation, as they tool down to the Mall in their SUVs to buy a re-release of the Beatles.

And then beat the younger generations over the head with all their 'you missed out on all the best stuff' crap.
