Two wrongs don't make a right, but three will get you beer with the president

A cop gets a call to respond to a possible break and enter. He arrives at the address where he finds a damaged front door. He finds a man inside the home. The officer not knowing who the man is, asks for identification. The man begins yelling at, and accusing the officer of being one of the most amoral type of people we have in modern society, but in the end does show the officer his driver license. The officer realizes the man lives there and begins to leave. Now one would think that this is the end of the story. However it is not. The man follows the officer as he leaves the home, continuing to yell and insult him. The officer then loses his cool, and arrests the man on his own property for violating a law meant to enforce decent human behavior in public areas such as parks, and shopping malls. An unstoppable ignoramus has crashed headlong into a unmovable dolt. However this sundae of intrigue comes with a cherry of short sightedness, and poorly expressed words on top. The president of the United States of America tossed in his two cents and managed add a bit more fuel to this fire.

By now most you realize who I'm talking about, those of you who don't I commend you on your physical ability to literally place your head firmly up your own ass. That being said most of you are probably wondering who is the ignoramus, who is the dolt, and why I think that way.

The ignoramus in this case is Harvard professor Henry Louis Gates Jr. One of the nation's pre-eminent African-American scholars, he was arrested the afternoon of July 16, 2009 at his home by Cambridge police investigating a possible break-in. I call him a ignoramus because it's the only thing that can explain his conclusions and subsequent actions. He assumed that officer Sgt. James Crowley had to be a horrible racist pig who was solely there for the purpose of harassing him in his own home. To come to this conclusion he must have been completely ignorant of what forcing your way into a home, even your own, makes you look like to the out side world. On top of that he continued to berate Crowley as he was leaving, meaning he had to be at best ignorant of what would happen next, or at worse purposefully baiting Crowley into making his own mistake. However I do believe that Gates was just being an ignoramus since I do like to give people the benefit of the doubt, and hope for the best in people.

This brings us to the dolt officer. Sgt. James Crowley of the Cambridge Police. Another three minutes of patience and he would have been in his car and on his way with the satisfaction of being the bigger and more rational man. Instead he let his ego get in the way and arrested Gates on a very thin technicality. Only the most supreme dolt could be blind to the ramifications of this. This is tantamount to Gates triple dog daring Crowley to arrest him, and see what happens, and Crowley fell for it, like a dolt.

What Gates and Crowley may have actually looked like.

But the cherry on all this, the last detail that really brought all this to the forefront was Obama. It really was just a poor choice of words on his part. All he had to say was, "it could have been handled better by all parties involved." If he had simply said that no one would have been able to make any rational argument against his comments. We would have still seen the tirade of predicable irrational attacks. Hell I can already hear Glenn Beck accusing Obama of, "throwing his own race under the bus", for not automatically siding with Gates if he had kept his comment simple and unbiased. Hell they even try to make Obama seem unpatriotic based on his choice of beer. I wounder who else endorses Budweiser products.

Oh right...

On the subject of the beer summit I happen to think it was a brilliant idea. alcohol is the great social lubricant after all, and when your part of a media cluster fuck of this magnitude everyone could use a little lube.

A long time ago in a one bed room apartment far far away. . .

A guy looked around at the world around him and exclaimed, "what the fuck is going on?". He simply could not make sense of what was going on in the world. Their were news outlets that claimed to be fair and balanced but in truth were vaguely disguised propaganda. Even news outlets that pointed out the many lies and hypocrites of these bearers of false witness had prominent members of their own staff, putting their own spin, on the same bile they claimed to be opposed to.

The guy was stunned when he realized that creationism, a religious dogma, was still being pressed on to schools, science teachers, and students despite the fact that it had been ruled unconstitutional over 83 years ago. If that was not enough he felt true dread when he realized that several individuals, running for the highest office, in the most powerful nation on earth, still held true to this belief despite the over whelming scientific evidence that proved other wise. True terror is what he felt when he realized that any one of these literal believers, revelations and all, could someday have their finger on the button.

That was not the end of it however. The guy soon realized that many churches, a once shining beacon of morality, had some how become evil and corrupted, playing host to con men and hypocrites. Instead of teaching love, acceptance, reason, and understanding, hate, bigotry, ignorance, and intolerance now flowed from the lips of men and women who claimed to speak for God.

So this guy, this absolute nobody with no higher education, did the only thing a guy could possibly do in the strange, backwards, bizarro world, that threaten his very sanity. He stared a blog.
