While im churning out the hit list, lets take a look at a few figures who had comments to make about the Presidential Race yesterday.
Let me clarify first, I am not a Mccain voter. I do not like John Mccain. I think hes painfully uneducated on certain issues and he plays dirty politics.
That said, I really dont like the people who like Barack Obama. I dont mind Obama myself. But a vote for him is a vote for douchebags everywhere.
What a conundrum.
I like Bob Barr and his free market philosophies and open minded domestic stances the most, but alas, hes a born loser.
So anyways, back to the business of giving these bastards a daily dose of shut the fuck up.
Bill Clinton predicted Barack Obama would win the election yesterday....I like Bills math. He looks at the polls and says the opposite of what they tell him. McCain is picking up steam and Obamas losing it...so I guess that means....well...according to Bill it means Obamas got this election wrapped up. I know I trust this guy. He predicted Hilary would win the nod earlier and that Kerry would win the election in 04. Hes a real nostrodamus this guy.
So Putin also came out Thursday and basically took potshots at the Bush Administration while characterizing Bush as a puppet. Thats pretty funny seeing how Putin is working a puppet government to his advantage the moment you read this. Maybe hed prefer Bush be a little more authoratative. Maybe kill some bears or flex shirtless for the cameras and pistol whip the new president. That might work.
Finally, I just wanted to say Keith Olbermann is NOT dating Barack Obama. And for the record, Rachel Maddow is NOT dating Michelle Obama. It may seem like it with the "witty" banter these two share every time they get on the air together but worry not my friends, theyre all just reallllllly good friends. And yes, Rachel Maddow could kick Dan Abrams ass if he ever comes back to the studios trying to pick up his stuff.

Matt Damons Super Smart
I never liked actors who took their roles too seriously. Matt Damon has always been that type of guy. Unfortunately, it seems like he also takes his politics a little too seriously as well.
A video making the rounds on the net shows Damon belittling Sarah Palin and expressing his concern over her abilities to lead.
Im not going to go to indepth on this but just to let everyone know, Matt Damon is full of himself.
He seems to think because he can read a script and run really fast like Jason Bourne that he is in fact, qualified, to question a politician who has been elected governor of the largest state in the country.
Do I like Sarah Palin?
No, not really. I think shes an amateur in the economics department and a bit too hardcore conservative for my liking, but the thing is, she would literally destroy Will Hunting in a debate. Destroy him. Matt Damon knows nothing about dealing with big oil or pork spending. He knows nothing about running a state or a city. He knows how to read a script.
Apparently...that makes him super smart.

Speak Up Dennis Kucinich, I cant hear you down there...
Dennis Kucinich and Rolling Stone Magazine....probably the lamest combination of bleeding heart libs the country has to offer. To my unfortunate surprise, the two have paired up and published an op ed about the 9/11 aftermath on this country. Now...Im no soothsayer (although I do have some crystal balls) but Im willing to bet these two bitter and forgotten figures are going to offer a negative take on our government.
Unfortunately, I was right. In the recent piece in Rolling Stone Kucinich basically riddles President Bush and his administration with insults for overreacting and "polarizing" our people.
Now I'm going to keep this short...er I mean...Im going to keep this Dennis Kucinich like in stature, heres three reasons why this op ed is a flaming piece of shit:
1. President Bush has not declared the Iraq War part of the mission to catch Osama Bin Laden. He went to Iraq for totally different reasons. All the people that seem to think we rushed into Iraq just to retaliate for 9/11 should consider that we didnt go to Iraq until 2003....AND that was for WMDs.
2. Kucinich claims we are in Iraq for oil. Thats funny. I swear we have oil at home that we could be drilling if we really wanted to get some cheap energy...so why would we go to Iraq just for oil? The answer is, we wouldnt. Iraq was a poor attempt at nation building but by no means was it for oil. If it was for oil, we could have done this whole thing a lot more smoothly. Also, last time I checked, the supply of oil we were currently recieving from Iraq was minimal compared to the supply we recieved from Saudi Arabia. So....your wrong Kucinich.
3. Kucinich suggests we prosecute the Bush Administration. Hmmm....I just dont see that happening anytime soon little guy. Clinton sent air strikes over Iraq in 98 and sent troops to Bosnia. I dont see anyone clamoring for him to be tried. What President Bush is doing is fully within his rights. He is the executive leader of the country and thus in charge of many military decisions. And please, Mr. Kucinich, dont forget that the soldiers in the army overwhelmingly support the President and by no means were forced into this situation. So...why dont you mind your own business.
Now Im going to cue up my Randy Newman song, "Short People" and move right along.

Why Im Here
So what is Countercultured?
Lets not get in over our heads here.
Countercultured is a 20 year old college guys response to the bitching and moaning that the mainstream press and entertainment industry "stars" have shared with us about government. None of us asked for Barbara Streisands opinion. No one cares if Maureen Dowd thinks Bush is a bastard. We just dont care. 40 years ago, hippies and activists were all the rage.
Today? We all can vote, we all can coexsist, and we all get to live in the wealthiest and strongest country in the world. So why is everyone still bitching and moaning?
Its about time these talking heads and entertainers who think they represent the "counter-culture" get a dose of their own medicine. Its about time someone says, "Hey, things arent all that bad." Its about time for me to get drunk and make my first real post in one hour.
Oh yes, its about time.
