Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano has carried on her unsavory and dangerous practice of confusing issues by changing terms. If you know what the Swine Flu is, then you’ll be interested to know that Obama’s Administration is officially calling it the “H1N1 virus.” Catchy right?!! I’m sure everyone will adopt that term immediately… or fucking never! One of the two.
Napolitano is not alone in her desire to confuse the issue. The pork industry wants to name it anything else because they are concerned that people will stop eating ham or something. Jews and Muslims, who have big religious issues with pigs, have named it the “Mexican Flu”, which obviously upsets Mexican citizens. The bottom line is that, like it or not, the name “Swine Flu” is what everyone is going to call it, so fuck everyone who wants to change it!
Sometime over the past few days there was a meeting where high level United States officials actually spent time talking about what they were going to call the Swine Flu. That means simply that instead of dealing with the actual problem, they were trying to figure out how to put lipstick on the Swine. So, once again, either to obfuscate the issue, or to change the issue, our government sought to practice style over substance. Starting with Obama at the top, our leaders are trying to control you through precise manipulation of language.
Modern nomenclature calls the manipulation of language Political Correctness, but George Orwell called it Newspeak over a half century ago in his novel “1984,” and it should scare you to death! Napolitano changed the “War on Terror” to the “Overseas Contingency Operation”. Thanks to Napolitano, terrorism is now called “Man-Caused Disaster”. There is no difference between Political Correctness, and Newspeak which simplifies language to squelch thoughts of dissidence to The State. Or as one character in “1984” said, “It’s a beautiful thing, the destruction of words.”
Political Correctness is far more dangerous to our survival than the Swine Flu or Terrorism, because it is designed to steal your freedom and make your thoughts into crimes. To Enemy of Freedom, Janet Napolitano, and anyone else who wants to control me through speech, you can stick your “H1N1 virus”, your “Overseas Contingency Operations” and your “Man-Caused Disasters” up your Politically Correct muddy asshole!
So says the Beefboy!

This doesn’t have anything to do with the Swine Flu, but I needed to comment to someone who would understand. To imitate Jerry Seinfeld, “What’s the deal with Susan Boyle?” Okay, she’s unattractive and she can sing. Is this such a surprise that they have to run a story a day on the miracle on Yahoo! News? Aren’t there more important things to concentrate on, like the H1N1 Virus? (Like that tie-in? You’re welcome.)
Although I do have to say that it’s disturbing that Egypt issued a directive to kill all the country’s pigs to prevent the spread of the virus.
I was actually going to rant on Susan Boyle, but I got busy with other stuff and didn’t get a chance. Your post gives me that chance.
Take a look at the singers and musicians from the 70’s. They are predominantly unattractive, however the 60’s and 70’s has some amazing songwriting and probably represents the end of the ballad (although lately there has been a reassurance). My point is that, as much I loved MTV (back when they played music videos), the Buggles eloquently forecast that video killed the radio star.
Somehow, between then and now, the populace got in their head that singing ability had something to do with LOOKS. For fucks sake… really? Has it come to this? Are people really that stupid? (Sorry I asked that question.)
The fact is that all those hot little children that Disney grooms to dance and sing are an anomaly. They are the exception, not the norm. Ironically, shows like American Idol and Britain’s Got Talent, don’t have the stipulation that you must possess the pretty gene to get on a stage and sing.
So, suddenly, after three decades of forgetting that looks and talent have absolutely nothing to with each other, Yahoo News, CNN, Bill O’Reilly and everyone else on the planet, give us Susan Boyle videos with a wink that says, “Wow! This freak doesn’t look like Britney Spears, but she can actually sing!”
No shit, nutsacks!
