When one looks at the contenders in the First Annual Peggies, you see a few gems scattered throughout the year. After those were wrapped up, the next year of Joplin Globe Madness began. But barely a month has passed, and already we may have enough material for next May.<br /><br />Seriously, <a href="http://www.joplinglobe.com/editorial/local_story_176224437.html">look at this shit</a>. It's GOLD. Phyllis League thinks the ozone layer is mosquito netting and that holes are caused by rockets piercing it. And also the thrust of the rockets has a disastrous effect on the earth's axis. I imagine she also thinks that if we launch enough rockets, the earth will spin backward. Which, of course, causes time to run in reverse.<br /><br />Meanwhile, I noticed that one of the Globe's online commentators <a href="http://www.joplinglobe.com/editorial/local_story_178222448.html">got a writeup</a> by Scott Meeker.

This letter first ran (to my knowledge) when I was in high school. I know this because I had a response published under my real name. I basically just did a satire of her letter with burkas, kitchens, the whole works. Some people didn’t read her letter first and took mine as genuine. I will post proof as soon as I can dig it up again.<br /><br />Claudia Owens, you colluder piece of crap, if you’re going to be a self-hating sell-out to the patriarchy, will you at least not be so fucking lazy as to reprint an old letter of yours?

Not only is marriage being essential to a healthy child not really true, and not only do many straight couples not have children, but gays can adopt kids as well- so they can get married, right?”<br /><br />"No!", says Wheeler, "If too many people get married than they’ll be leeches on society! Our culture feels entitled to government perks, when they should be self-reliant! Bootstraps!"<br /><br />"OK, so if you’re all about self-reliance, then maybe the government should get out of marriage completely?

Was there really any doubt? Riley T. garnered a distant second with only one vote.<br /><br />Best Guest Column- This was a tight heat, but apparently more people got their handles cranked by the <a href="http://joplinglobemadness.blogspot.com/search/label/The%20Douchey%20Professor">Douchey Professor</a> than Cindy. She doesn't mind- she's far too modest for that.<br /><br />Best Letter- Another landslide, Carol "<a href="http://joplinglobemadness.blogspot.com/2008/10/reason-is-not-your-forte-my-sweet.html">maybe the Obama ate your baby</a>" Thomas walked away with 80% of the vote. Karen Clark got only one vote, alas.<br /><br />I just noticed that all the people I voted for, lost.

Drashi says Tibet should be free. OK. Then he says that it wasn't a peaceful utopia. All right, a caveat's fine, go for it. He then proceeds to make the old Tibet sound like an absolute oppressive shithole. Then he abruptly adds <blockquote><span><span><span>Thanks for reminding your readers of the need for a free Tibet.<br /></span></span></span></blockquote>Um...dude? When you add a caveat like that you're supposed to bounce back up with some positive things to say. Otherwise it makes us wonder why Tibetan citizens should be free from the murderous Chinese so they can go back to murdering each other in holy wars. I guess he just trusted that everyone read and remembered the original Globe article, which may or may not have listed good things. Honestly? I don't remember reading it.<br /><br />Meanwhile, Riley T's last letter was so nice he <a href="http://www.joplinglobe.com/editorial/local_story_165203405.html">said it twice</a>! He says that without "loving ourselves" (i.e. capitalism NOT MASTURBATION YOU GODLESS PERVERT SICKOSEXUALS), the commandment <span><span><span>“love our neighbor as we love ourselves” is completely useless.<br /><br />Course, it's useless without the first half too, but hey!<br /><br /><br />Finally, I more or less agree with the following letter, (hey fuck you! I like trees!) but the use of the word "<a href="http://www.joplinglobe.com/editorial/local_story_165202906.html">mutilate</a>" kind of rubs me the wrong way.<br /><br />I also like how in the last sentence she reveals she doesn't care so much about trees as much as HER trees, specifically. Fuck those other trees in other, less eco-friendly towns!<br /></span></span></span>johnny kajehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04074098582714180378noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2269777115039513900.post-14208080843518906342009-06-11T22:32:00.004-05:002009-06-14T22:01:26.887-05:00Bwap.<a href="http://www.joplinglobe.com/editorial/local_story_162221836.html">Bwap bwap bwap.</a><br /><br />Fun fact: They took out the part where I asked the torture people if it's a good idea to racially profile middle-aged white guys now; also "All this with the equivalent of a mere college hazing prank!

But seriously, <a href="http://www.joplinglobe.com/editorial/local_story_144000015.html">look at this shit</a> and tell me that wasn't the first thing you thought.<br /><br />"One of the great strengths of the United States is from its diversity! Therefore, I propose we set a day aside to honor the most common variety of white person! Perhaps we can undo the harm done when we set aside calendar dates for squint-eyed chinks that can't even speak English. Do most Americans go around saying 'ching chong ding dong' and eating dog soup? I didn't think so. WHITE PRIDE!"<br /><br />I mean seriously, what the <span style="font-style: italic;">fuck</span> is up with that last paragraph?johnny kajehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04074098582714180378noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2269777115039513900.post-20599296743515949952009-05-17T22:24:00.007-05:002009-05-17T22:44:37.004-05:00The Ol' Switcheroo<span style="font-size:180%;"><br /></span><a href="http://www.joplinglobe.com/editorial/local_story_137201352.html">Nobody believes in a god.</a><br /><br />A man may say that a god created everything. In so saying, he forgets to mention what, or who, created the god.<br /><br />Such a man may say that the god had always existed. By this statement, he is acknowledging that special creation is not necessary to set things in motion. Therefore, his insistence that everything has to have a creator is false even in his own worldview. Of course, this is not an actual natural phenomenon, this god. It is a giant bearded dude that lives up in the clouds and plants dinosaur fossils to fuck with people’s heads.<br /><br />Whoever believes in an omnipotent sky patriarch smiting people for putting their wees-wees in the wrong place has serious issues. If a man is a product of an abusive, psychopathic specter that somehow always agrees with everything the believer thinks, then everything about him is avoiding anything that may challenge his worldview. His body, mind, all of his thoughts, words and actions are in submission to this phantom. He cannot of himself make any decision or intend or propose anything. He cannot do anything that intelligence does. Therefore, he has no intelligence.<br /><br />If a man’s thoughts, words and actions are just parroting Sky Daddy, then that man cannot be held responsible for anything he does.<br /><br />The figment of the imagination known as religion is simply irresponsibility in a thin disguise. It should not be taught to children or to anyone else.<br />--------------------------------------------------<br /><br />Suck on it, Burney. <a href="http://joplinglobemadness.blogspot.com/2008/06/jesus-christ-its-bear-get-in-car.html">But I'm glad the bears didn't get you</a>.<br /><br />I'm out of town for the week.

WE CAN DESTROY YOU.That martyr of intellectual freedom, <span style="font-style: italic;">*snort* *chuckle*</span> Miss California, is under attack, and leaping to her defense is this "<a href="http://www.joplinglobe.com/editorial/local_story_133215507.html">people exercising their freedom of speech to criticize her are stifling her freedom of speech</a>" letter by Randy Dale.<br /><br />Let's see what we got here:<br /><br />1. He's got lots of gay friends! Seriously!<br /><br />2. Also, you gay folks apparently should be grateful to straight people, since they were so nice as to allow you to exist. The least you can do is let them deny you dignity and legal protections, and maybe let them beat a few of you folks to death with baseball bats every once in a while.<br /><br /><span><span><span>3. One man, one woman marriage (that's based on mutual attraction and not arranged as a business deal) is a "t</span></span></span><span><span><span>radition as old as language and civilization</span></span></span><span><span><span>"? LOL WHUT?</span></span></span> (hint: the most traditional marriage throughout humanity's history would be one man,<span style="font-style: italic;"> several</span> women, and what most Americans think of as "traditional marriage" is a pretty recent invention.)<br /><br />4. Last sentence: "<span><span><span>If people like Paris Hilton had their way, we would be subjugated to a gay Taliban enforcing gay culture!" Double Globe score! Honestly, a gay Taliban sounds a million times better than the religous homobigot one we have now. Do we get fetching rainbow turbans?<br /><br />Also, do you think he meant to say "<span style="font-style: italic;">Perez</span> Hilton"? I like to think that he did.<br /></span></span></span><span><span><span><br /></span></span></span>johnny kajehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04074098582714180378noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2269777115039513900.post-55481563035480415942009-05-12T22:27:00.002-05:002009-05-12T22:51:50.680-05:00Pass the Pabst Blue Ribbon, Riley T-DogThe Kaje is back for a limited time only. Things that were neglected in my absence:<br /><br />Holy balls, is this guy <a href="http://www.joplinglobe.com/editorial/local_story_122090936.html">comparing</a> boot camp to torturing false confessions out of people? And <a href="http://www.joplinglobe.com/editorial/local_story_126210030.html">Riley too</a>? I figured from the gay rights debate that conservatives have little use for the concept of “consent”; but I didn’t know they knew absolutely nothing about it. I know! Let’s ask Senator McCain and other soldiers that were tortured by foreign forces! Maybe they can tell us the difference!<br /><br />Another <a href="http://www.joplinglobe.com/editorial/local_story_115002654.html">letter</a> from Riley T. Jay made me notice something: calling everyone else a “conformist”, going out of his way to be different at all costs…MY GOD! He’s not a moralizing nutbar- he’s an INDIE HIPSTER DOUCHE! And a really ironic one, I must say. Kudos, sir. You even fooled me.<br /><br />You may remember Dan Walters as the guy whose letter got its <a href="http://joplinglobemadness.blogspot.com/2009/02/go-fighting-globeans.html">ass</a> <a href="http://joplinglobemadness.blogspot.com/2009/03/results-are-in.html">kicked</a> by mine. He’s also <a href="http://www.joplinglobe.com/editorial/local_story_132204508.html">crazy, sexist, and elitist</a>. I think he’s saying that the 25% of Americans that are abysmally stupid are like pretty girls, and everyone else is an ugly old feminist that secretly hates them because we envy them. Not because they’re huge stupid sexist racist bigoted assholes. It’s because they’re better than us and we’re jealous. I guess.<br /><br />And what the fuck is a “<span style="font-style: italic;">positive</span> nuisance award?” Is he saying that Gloria’s actually right? Does coherency have a liberal bias now? Everything else does.<br /><br />Finally! The tea baggers did not go unnoticed by yours truly. If you visit <a href="http://www.joplinglobeonline.com/blogs/scott_blog/index.php?entry=entry090430-160037">Scott Meeker’s blog</a>, you may have gotten a taste of my totally choice letter that was TOO HOT FOR THE GLOBE. Here’s the rest:<br /><blockquote>It’s only been a few weeks and it seems that the media has forgotten the nationwide Tea Party. You can only accomplish so much by marching in the streets and teabagging the White House. It’s time to fight!<br />I have taken it upon myself to form a Southwest Missouri chapter of Fight Increasing Socialist Taxes (FIST) Forum. This organization encourages FISTing-- assertive and effective techniques to raise awareness about the current government’s liberal taxing policies. These include such strategies as letter writing, organizing boycotts, civil disobedience and twittering; plus simple assertiveness training. You can look us up on Facebook, MySpace and Twitter; or you can visit our website at fistforum.com. I encourage all true Americans to FIST with their friends and family! </blockquote><br />For the record <span style="font-weight: bold;">DO NOT ACTUALLY GO TO FISTFORUM.COM</span>. Unless you're into that kind of stuff. Kaje don't judge.<br /><br />The one year anniversary of the blog is coming up! Mark your calendars for the 26th, and brace yourselves for AWESOMENESS!<br /><br /><span style="font-size:78%;">(by “awesomeness” I mean “an interactive poll or a quiz or something”)</span>johnny kajehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04074098582714180378noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2269777115039513900.post-10311642741884947112009-04-02T22:33:00.004-05:002009-04-02T22:56:51.057-05:00Never Mind the Never MindDarn it all, I‘m putting off my hiatus until after this post. I can’t stay away, not with these three doozies!<br /><br />Francis G. Bliss <a href="http://www.joplinglobe.com/editorial/local_story_092212850.html">tries to stir up</a> taxpayer rage against imprisoning murderers for life. Never mind that the death penalty actually costs <a href="http://www.walletpop.com/blog/2009/03/09/death-penalty-costs-more-than-life-in-prison/">six times as much</a>, or all that crap that that hippie Jesus said, but whatevs.<br /><br /><a href="http://s293.photobucket.com/albums/mm61/johnnykaje/?action=view&current=april3female.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i293.photobucket.com/albums/mm61/johnnykaje/april3female.jpg" alt="Photobucket" border="0" /></a><br /><br />My favorite part is the last sentence. “Get some female pregnant?” Way to go out of your way to dehumanize women, dude.<br /><br /><br />Ed Goebel <a href="http://www.joplinglobe.com/editorial/local_story_092212938.html">thinks</a><a href="http://www.joplinglobe.com/editorial/local_story_092212938.html"> </a>that we don’t need animal abuse laws or other sorts of animal welfare because humans have a natural compassion for animals. <a href="http://s293.photobucket.com/albums/mm61/johnnykaje/?action=view&current=april3animal.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i293.photobucket.com/albums/mm61/johnnykaje/april3animal.jpg" alt="Photobucket" border="0" /></a><br /><br />In the same breath he says that God made animals humanity’s meaty playthings. Hmm.<br /><br />And finally, the jewel of the day’s harvest…Jim Keener, a <a href="http://www.joplinglobe.com/editorial/local_story_092212751.html">9/11 conspiracy dude</a>!<br /><br /><a href="http://s293.photobucket.com/albums/mm61/johnnykaje/?action=view&current=april3conspiracy.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i293.photobucket.com/albums/mm61/johnnykaje/april3conspiracy.jpg" alt="Photobucket" border="0" /></a><br /><br />You know how I can dismiss 9/11 conspirators out of hand? If it’s true that the Bush Administration planned the attacks, they probably would’ve grudgingly admitted it after some half-hearted denials. The Republicans would spin this into a good thing, and the Democrats and the media would roll over for them. The few non-sickos would’ve gotten upset, and this would be perceived as “whining” by the apathetic and the humanity-hating TV-sick jackoffs. Before you knew it you’d see bumper stickers that say “Fly A Plane Into A Skyscraper--It Pisses Off The Liberals!” (printed in a star spangled or rebel flag scheme of course) and absolutely nothing would be done.<br /><br />Look at the past eight years and tell me that you can’t see that happening.<br /><br />Anyway, I am going to get yelled at for posting again. I AM GOING ON HIATUS STARTING…NOW.

Seriously, I’ve been trying to compose this post (links, Photobucket*, just logging into stupid Blogger) and it's taking nearly two and a half hours. I've got work in the morning people!

My heart leapt in my throat- the writer had a strong opening sentence and I couldn’t wait to read the rest!<br />I clicked, the letter loaded, and I could finally <a href="http://www.joplinglobe.com/editorial/local_story_075202621.html">read the rest</a>:<br /><span><span><span><p class="specialstorytext"></p></span></span></span><blockquote><span><span><span><p class="specialstorytext">Gordon W. Thompson</p> <p class="specialstorytext">Grove, Okla. </p></span></span></span></blockquote>…that’s it? No expounding on the point that this is a bad thing? No Bible quotes? No phony-ass passive-aggressive “I will pray for you”?<br /><br />Just one lousy sentence?<br /><br />That…that hurts. Damnit, they’ve gotten to me. The arrogant unbeliever is breaking out the old sad face. Here I go... <:( <br /><br />Speaking of single sentences, Donald A. Miller Sr. has written <a href="http://www.joplinglobe.com/editorial/local_story_075202806.html">one of the most beautiful sentences</a> to ever grace the Voices page. Bask in the glory of this sentence:<br /><blockquote>The croissant-eating wine-drinking liberal pukes can take everything now that we have a foreigner with their mind-set in the White House.</blockquote>What else can anyone say? It’s perfection. Joplin Globe madness, distilled in a single sentence. It brings a tear to my eye. Well done, Donald. I'm putting away the sad face and breaking out the happy face. :Djohnny kajehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04074098582714180378noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2269777115039513900.post-17838410896642559792009-03-16T10:46:00.004-05:002009-03-16T11:05:25.512-05:00Bad TimingWhen I read “<a href="http://www.joplinglobe.com/editorial/local_story_074201559.html?keyword=topstory">House rules aim to silence GOP</a>”, I felt deeply for my fellow countrymen. Imagine--to be rendered silent and impotent by the majority! My heart bleeds!<br /><br />So in support of my fallen brothers and sisters in the Grand Old Party, I pledged to speak for them this day. Let the Republican voice be heard!<br /><br />Here it is:<br /><br />“bwap bwap bwap TAX CUTS bwap bwap bwap SOCIALISM bwap bwap bwap ANYTHING BESIDES WAR AND ABSTINENCE FUNDING IS PORK bwap bwap bwap MUSLIMS AND LIBERALS AND QUEERS OH MY bwap bwap bwap”<br /><br />You’ve just heard the Republican voice! You can now carry on with your sane policy making.<br /><br />---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------<br /><br />I realized last night that I started this blog at the worst possible time.<br /><br />You see, the culture wars are my bread and butter. I probably should have started this blog around 2004-ish, when the opinion pages were buzzing about gay marriage and Ten Commandments plaques and all sorts of crazy stuff.<br /><br />But nope, I had to wait until the tail-end of the Bush administration, and now that the furor of “OMG BLACK MUSLIM PRESIDENT” is wearing thin, everyone’s talking about economics.<br /><br />Unfortunately for you, dear readers, I know as much about money as a dog knows about standardized English.<br /><br />Of course, a dog knows some words; like “walk”, “no”, and “food”. Likewise, I know that corporations aren’t human beings, that it’s kind of stupid to tax people in an inversely proportional way to their wealth, and that the “Going Galt” people are not visionary hard-working assholes, but mere assholes.<br /><br />On a day like today I can't offer much in the way of commentary besides "Dan Walters wrote <a href="http://www.joplinglobe.com/editorial/local_story_074201858.html">this</a>, and <a href="http://www.joplinglobe.com/editorial/local_story_074202034.html">this guy's</a> supporting The Douchey Professor, and that's all you need to know." Sorry, folks. The day will come when someone will start writing about Noah’s Ark in Turkey and the wholesome goodness of the Confederate flag again.<br /><br />When that day comes, I WILL BE THERE.johnny kajehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04074098582714180378noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2269777115039513900.post-2676675859319198872009-03-12T09:31:00.004-05:002009-03-12T09:44:22.169-05:00Try the Intertubes!Do you think that <a href="http://www.joplinglobe.com/editorial/local_story_070220512.html">Douglas K. Tope</a> is trying to subtly accuse Obama of being a Kenyan Muslim born in India? Or is he sincere?<br /><br />I take issue with the commentator's charge of "LOL computer illiteracy". There's a chance he wants a fresh voice we haven't heard before; a local soul who has memories that can't be found on your fancy Wikipedias and your Googles and such.<br /><br />Or he may just be some clueless old-fashioned gomer after all. I dunno.johnny kajehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04074098582714180378noreply@blogger.com0
