America is in the last stages of its greatness. We are witnessing the beginning of the decline of the great empire. When the rest of the world laughs at us almost as much as they once envied us. America is still a great country, despite the attempts by idiots and buffoons to ruin it.

Schwarzenegger Buoyed by Latest Calif Poll Numbers  Wed October 1, 12:53 PM ET  By Adam Tanner  SAN FRANCISCO (Reuters) - Arnold Schwarzenegger -- an actor and bodybuilder who never spent a day in public office -- showed increasing confidence on Wednesday that he would become California's governor in six days as a new poll showed him far in the lead. More...

What is amazing about being alive right now in the United States is just how many scandals there are everywhere. The feeling is just total chaos. You get scared to read the news. You almost expect to read about another scandal in Hollywood or Washington. If I was to propel myself into the future and then look back at what we are experiencing now in this country, it is like something exploded and its just total insanity in the air. And of course the above picture just makes it seem hilarious, like it’s a farce or something. But its not. It’s the state of our country. He seriously has a shot at becoming a governor of one of our states. I think if this really happens, perhaps it is some sign of the impending apocalypse. Just all downhill from there. Do people not understand that he is an actor? And not a civil servant? Do they even know the difference anymore? How completely different those roles are. How in one of them you expect and desire the person to be really good at making stuff up and pretending to be something that he is , = acting. And in the other position you just want someone who is super honest and who will always tell you the truth and work really hard for the people. 

I think, and we can’t be totally sure, that people are just so lost at this point when it comes to government and leadership in this country, disillusioned and ignorant of all of it, that a lot of people are just thinking “hey wouldn’t it be fucking cool if Arnold was our governor? No way! Dude!” and here's the catch: maybe they're right. I mean really, what if it really doesn’t matter who their governor is. So the guy is this really bad B movie actor. So what? What if that is what it has come down to? Do we just party hard till the great ship sinks? You look at all these pix of Arnold hamming it up in front of the cameras and you cannot help but think that the whole country is going to hell. Its almost like we are acting out some really bad movie.

Do you miss me as much as I miss you?

Do you think of me as often as I think of you?

Do you dream about me as much as I dream of you?

Do you secretly love me as much as I love you?

Will we ever meet?

Last screening: The story of Archimedes, the Greek mathematician. Discovered the mathematical formula for Pi. And a lot of other important discoveries. When he discovered how to measure volume through liquid displacement he jumped out of his tub and ran naked through the streets. Classic. Now this is what I'm talking about. Pretty soon Rome takes over Greece and soon after the wicked catholic church takes over Rome and the rest of the world. The dark ages soon begin (but when will they end?) and soon things like math and science are completely outlawed to the point after a few centuries they are entirely forgotten about. This is for real. This really happened. They called it the age of “faith.” faith in what? Only God knows. Hehe. So in case we needed any more proof that religion is purely evil and dangerous and not good for us here's a classic. In the twelfth century some monk was writing “prayers” and ran out of parchment, (again this really happened) and so he just started grabbing old science texts they had laying around their church there. and since they didn't know or care anything about science because they had decided that God did everything and we didn't need to do anything ourselves but pray and pay enormous taxes to the various churches who controlled everything, (and of course that's what really matters, because after all the churches we were told have a direct line with the big man upstairs, and isn't that what counts? Getting in good with God so when you die you can go to heaven. Why worry about your happiness while you are alive? Or your sanity or your bank account or math or science or anything really, when what really counts is being happy after you die. Right?)

O.K. so this monk just grabbed the entire Archimedes Manuscripts—seventy years worth of scientific research and investigation by the most brilliant mathematician we have ever had in our history—and cut in half, then folded each half in half, and then tried to scrub away all the text, and then proceeded to write prayers over all the pages. He didn't even know who Archimedes was. He was just doing his job. And this my friends is some tragic shit. And a good lesson for all. Finally a few years ago the manuscripts were discovered and sold at an auction for 2 million and now they are researching them through computers and all that. The amazing thing is that now scientists who are conducting the research are reporting that he was so far ahead of his time that if we would have had these manuscripts we would have landed on the moon hundreds of years earlier and on mars and we would have accomplished many other feats that we are still working on today but haven't figured out how to do yet. But he had already figured a lot them out. as always, we offer our eternal gratitude to the great catholic church...
