... the Alpha and the Omega, the Wizard of Oz, and Underdog all roled into one. I am miracle ingredient Z-87.

'5. Acting like an asshole just means that you are an asshole. I got news for you: you are not Bill Hicks. (I've got more news for you: If Bill Hicks were alive today, he would probably be making regular drunken calls to Alex Jones's show but that's for another post). You are not. You are not Hunter S. Thompson. You are not George Carlin. You are not the warrior poet leading the new revolution. If you so happen to become the warrior poet leading the new revolution, you can then become an asshole - and in the words of Crash Davis - the press will think you are colorful. Until that moment, you are a crank on a message board or blog and you aren't changing anything. Effecting change in politics means being political. Get some manners."
