There is no such thing, at this date of the world’s history, in America, as an independent press. You know it and I know it. There is not one of you who dares to write your honest opinions, and if you did, you know beforehand that it would never appear in print. I am paid weekly for keeping my honest opinion out of the paper I am connected with. Others of you are paid similar salaries for similar things, and any of you who would be so foolish as to write honest opinions would be out on the streets looking for another job. If I allowed my honest opinions to appear in one issue of my paper, before twenty-four hours my occupation would be gone. The business of the journalists is to destroy the truth, to lie outright, to pervert, to vilify, to fawn at the feet of mammon, and to sell his country and his race for his daily bread. You know it and I know it, and what folly is this toasting an independent press We are the tools and vassals of rich men behind the scenes. We are the jumping jacks, they pull the strings and we dance. Our talents, our possibilities and our lives are all the property of other men. We are intellectual prostitutes.

~~~~~~John Swinton, 1880

If your thinking that this morning’s Coast (http://www.coasttocoastam.com/show/2012/05/12) was another practical joke, you’re partly right. The quote at the top of this page that John B. Wells used is as true now as it was in 1880 and lots of things that Steve Quayle and Stan Deyo talked about are real and happening. But the part about one of them personally speaking to Jesus and finding out absolutely everything we need to know from Him, except of course for the stuff that would actually be helpful, well that was pure BS.

There is no God and no Jesus and all religions are nothing but man-made fairy-tales and even if it turns out there really is a Jesus, He isn’t talking to anyone here. Especially Steve Quayle. No God would ever say, “If I told you the truth, you wouldn’t believe me,” as Stan claims He did. And no God would allow the world to get into the shape this one is in, in the first place. And then there’s the way Steve ended the interview by saying something to the effect of, “If you really believe in abortion, think about this: what if your mother had had an abortion!”

Wow. That’s a scary thought, isn’t it? Of never having had to go through all this because someone was smart enough to do the right thing and have an abortion. Again, I say to all you pro-life, anti-abortion freakish religious cult nuts: Wake up and smell the coffee. Life is not good. It never has been and never will be. And then we take the parts that could be tolerable and make them intolerable.

And if you’re still delusional on this issue, consider that before he made that statement, Steve spent the previous three hours going on and on about how bad life is, how it’s getting worse and there’s nothing we can do about it. Then he said to keep breeding like rabbits because life is so great. Keep creating new people to enjoy this misery.

When will religious belief be classified as a mental illness? And this was at least the second time he has said that very same thing on Coast. What’s more amazing is that it still is not the dumbest thing I’ve ever heard on that show. That honor still belongs to the idiotic caller who was ragging on someone for being heavily into some hobby by saying, “Don’t you think that it’s robbing you of real life experiences?”

Ugh. And I’ll bet that caller was one of the millions of Americans who are addicted to anti-depressants, which are completely ineffective for everything but producing homicidal and suicidal thoughts, because “real life experiences” are so wonderful that he can’t face them without a drug. Anyway, that was the stupid and ridiculous part of this morning’s Coast To Coast AM but the rest of it was pretty solid.

And it can be summed up thusly: If you find yourself pregnant, do the right thing: GET AN ABORTION. And it would be nice if everyone would do the right thing but most won’t. And that’s why I’m still tilting at windmills, trying to make this quagmire of insanity we call life a little more tolerable by solving some of our bigger problems.

And the problem I have conquered today is bullying. Bullying isn’t the suicide causing monster that lazy people would have you believe it is but it is an annoying thorn in the side of life and now that someone who is running for President Of The United States is a certified bully, it is time to stamp it out.

And it can be done with what I have dubbed The Rosey Cloaking Device. It’s named after Rosey Grier, who if you remember, was a defensive tackle for the New York Giants and Los Angeles Rams and for some reason was never taunted or bullied even though he enjoyed macrame and needlepoint. And he never hid it. In 1973 he even wrote a book called Rosey Grier’s Needlepoint for Men.

And why wasn’t Rosey ever bullied? Because he looked like Rosey Grier. And it would take someone even dumber than Mitt Romney to even call him names, let alone try to tackle him and cut his hair. So what we need to do is recruit a bunch of guys that are Rosey’s size and cloak them so they look like the kid that got his hair cut by Mitt and his gang.

And within a short amount of time bullying will be eradicated because the surviving bully’s will keep their thoughts and actions to themselves. And the only thing stopping us from building this machine are a few engineering problems but the guys in the lab assure me they will be worked out soon. So, now that I’ve done all I can do, I’m going to take the rest of this Sunday off. Just like God did.
