Hypocrisy

Rereading some of my posts I stumbled on something that I want to amend. In the post 'WikiLeaks' I wrote:

Even if they take out Julian Assange with a bullet or drone strike or that bullshit rape allegation I want to make sure that as many people as possible can access this information.

Emphasis added after-the-fact to the part I feel guilty about. It was completely hypocritical of me to simply dismiss those charges. I think that Michael Moore explained a much more sensible stance to take when he defended his decision to post Julian Assange's bail on the Rachel Maddow Show. Basically; while Assange deserves a chance to defend himself those charges still have to be taken very seriously.

North Korean House Trance!

The glorious leader commands you to check out this post on the official DPRK (North Korean) news-site.

Kim Jong Il Enjoys Electronic Band Performance

Pyongyang, January 26 (KCNA) -- General Secretary Kim Jong Il appreciated a performance given by the Electronic Band of the Song and Dance Ensemble of the KPA Air Force Command.

Its colorful numbers included "Best Wishes", "Where Are You, Dear General?", "Attraction and Reverence" and "We Will Become Shield in Sky."

Its artistes enthusiastically sang of the leadership exploits Kim Jong Il has performed for the strengthening and development of the Party and the revolutionary armed forces and the building of a rich and powerful country under the banner of Songun and the great national pride and self-esteem of the Korean people blessed with the illustrious leaders generation after generation.

Kim Jong Il acknowledged the enthusiastic cheers of the performers and audience and congratulated the artistes on their successful presentation.

He expressed great satisfaction over the splendid performance replete with the faith and will of the DPRK and the revolutionary soldier spirit presented by the band and highly appreciated its success.

Though it is not long since the band was organized it has made rapid progress by displaying the revolutionary and creative spirit, he said, adding that this is the shining fruition of the strong revolutionary soldier spirit enshrined by the creators and artistes of the band.

He set forth the important tasks to serve as guidelines for arts creation.

I wonder what Kim Jong Il would say about Pr0metheus Burning.

Wolf in Wolf's Clothing: Ricky Gervais at the Golden Globes

What were they expecting to happen? Putting Ricky Gervais in front of the Hollywood elite and handing him a microphone is almost as stupid as letting Colbert give a speech in front of Dubya.

For once I'm happy about morons being in charge! Long live Ricky Gervais!

Life = Good

Yeah; so while rereading what I've posted so far I noticed that my rants can be a bit... bleak.

That's only because happy stuff is boring ;)

Can't Sleep :'(

I probably can't sleep because of how much Demon's Souls I played today. Caffeine *may* have something to do with it too.

I was channel flipping and ended up watching whatever was on the cable news channels for a while; now I'm stuck wondering, "Why the fuck hasn't anyone done anything to help out the people of Haiti?"

Fuck this; for now I'm just going to play more Demon's Souls and pretend that I didn't read these reports.
