(M)an: Dude! Aaron Swartz’s twenty-seventh birthday’s here
but he is not.
(D)ude: Man! Aaron Swartz is a causality of war I mourn
every day. He tried to make the world responsive and free of the capitalist
landmines all over the Internet.
M: Dude! He was about to launch an intellectual revolution
counter to the suppression and oppression and depression that the Koch brothers
are trying to tactically put into place and that George W. and Jeb Bush are
just waiting to embrace in another presidential election win for their family
through Jeb or his son George Prescott Bush.
D: Man! I’m appalled at United States Attorney for
Massachusetts Carmen Ortiz’s decisions with regard to Aaron Swartz.
M: Dude! Carmen Ortiz was high as a kite in accolades from
her peers and the press. The Boston Globe praised her in 2011, citing her
pursuit of “corruption and white-collar crime” while the magazine Boston recognized her as one of three
powerhouses in the city in 2012.
D: Man! So you think Carmen Ortiz should have kept her pride
and pursuit of even greater prosecutions and accolades in check?
M: Dude! Her husband is an IBM executive, so you got a real
terrible recipe for disaster like in the case of Aaron Swartz.
D: Man! You think she thought herself an expert in the computer
field?
M: Dude! She did have plenty of significant reprimands in
her career lowlights. But the one thing that really sums up her arrogance is
what she said regarding the federal charges brought against Aaron Swartz. She
said quote unquote, “Stealing is stealing whether you use a computer command or a crowbar,
and whether you take documents, data, or dollars.”
D: Man! That is tragic overreach! And to think that the
people and organizations now recognizing Aaron Swartz as an activist remained
silent when he needed the support of the technology community that he helped
build and innovate.
M: Dude! And the charges were dropped when it no longer
mattered. Aaron had been gone permanently two days when sensibility came in and
pushed aside all the fecklessness. He was only twenty-six-years-old.
D: Man! When will the sensibility come in and push aside all
the fecklessness that has gripped Jon Stewart and Stephen Colbert?
M: Dude! Probably when the 2014 midterm elections have
passed and the Tea Partiers have secured a majority in the House of
Representatives with John Boehner as their obstructionist mouthpiece? Gosh! I
thought Stewart and Colbert had learned something from the 2010 results and how
they allowed a political predator like Arianna Huffington fill up buses for the
Rally to Restore Sanity!
D: Man! Yeah! The two are suffocating tomorrow’s future by
being the only two guys in the business of punditry who college and university
enrollees tune into regularly and exclusively for the news.
M: Dude! Do they know that Stewart and Stephen Colbert are
sellouts? Have they forgotten the way George W. Bush invited Colbert to his
White House Correspondents Dinner and Colbert came out in a W. mask and gave
the flattest performance like he was being tamed by the far right crooks?
D: Man! I had reservations but always gave the benefit of
the doubt to Stephen Colbert until he and his sister Elizabeth Colbert Busch
orchestrated a political comeback for the scumbag pervert Mark Sanford.
M: Dude! Elizabeth Colbert Busch betrayed so many
Independent affiliates with her clearly scripted performances that, like her
brother Stephen’s declaration that he does not see color, she fooled even the
most courageous Democrats into endorsing her when she had no intension to win.
D: Man! Political progressives must become aware of false
campaigns and PACs. What ever happened to the Colbert Super PAC money that so
many viewers contributed before the 2012 presidential election?
M: Dude! That fate of the million or so dollars raised is
not as significant as how the pattern of treachery is returning once again.
D: Man! That’s so true! Stephen Colbert has essentially
ripped apart efforts to get the message about the healthcare marketplaces to
populations like the millennials. The millennials are the focus of a lot of
television channels produced in part by the Far Right.
M: Dude! Pivot, Fusion, and other delusions of democracy
being advertised and marketed to basically American youth at that crucial time
in their lives where they are trying to figure out how they would like to
contribute to their own and others’ destinies.
D: Man! The Employment Non-Discrimination Act passed the United
States Senate yesterday, but did you know a lot of Americans are not aware that
ENDA will finally make it legally illegal to fire a person based on the
individual’s sexual orientation and gender identity?
M: Dude! It’s about time! George W. Cheney managed to keep
the legislation out of the 109th Congress, from January 2005 to
January 2007, despite ENDA having been brought forth in Congress since the Clinton
Administration circa 1994.
D: Man! Have you noticed how Stephen Colbert has adopted a meretricious
“cha-ching” mentality that’s getting him into trouble with guests like Stephen
John Fry?
M: Dude! I personally thought Stephen Fry’s intelligent
insight into the pundit’s deterioration due to sellout really exposed the truly
troubled Colbert, who threw cheap shots through revelations about Stephen Fry’s struggles with bipolar
disorder and his sexual orientation as a gay man. Stephen Colbert essentially humiliated
himself by conveying the message that such personal identifications were egregious.
D: Man! Stephen Colbert is that narrow-minded? He definitely
is not a catholic Roman Catholic! But, of course, there is also Representative
Paul Ryan who, like Colbert, refuses to acknowledge seeing the blunders in the
budget proposal and the cruel lies that Tea Partiers have adapted to disenfranchise
the disenfranchised further and further. And both men are very showy Roman
Catholics as well.
M: Dude! Keep in mind that there’s always the very catholic
Roman Catholic Conan O’Brien and his sidekick Andy Richter!
D: Don’t get any classier catholic than Conan O’Brien! Andy
Richter is a quiet riot!
M: Dude! I think there was an eighties metal band that went
by that name, Quiet Riot!
