I’m Voting for This Guy…

Well, I would vote for him if he ever ran in a US election.

Koichi Toyama, a former candidate for Tokyo governor, and ex-con (he did a 2 year stretch for crimes against the government) appeals to me for several fundamental reasons.

While I’m no advocate for Anarchy, there’s something refreshing about a political candidate who can honestly describe their policy plans:

“I have no interest whatsoever in political reform or any kind of reform

“I do not have a single constructive proposal!”

as well as a politician who openly discloses his feelings toward the the voting public…

“Gentlemen, I despise each and every one of you”

Beyond simple honesty, Koichi is also a gifted orator. In his speech, he sums up the democratic process in one eloquent sentence:

“An election is simply a festival for the majority”

And finally, in addition to his being diametrically opposed to the religious right, which I’m committed to thwarting, there’s something irresistibly charming about a candidate who ends his political effusions with a waving middle finger.

I may actually just write him in.

Pope decries ‘pleasure at all costs’

The launch of Freedom & Shit [dot] org couldn’t have come at a better time. You see the leader of the Catholics just warned against seeking happiness in drugs or other “artificial paradises” and the self-centered quest for “pleasure at all costs.” as the associated press reports.

This is in sharp contrast to our official policy of pleasure at all costs! This weekend the Freedom & Shit [dot] org wrecking crew bounced around town throwing people against walls, drinking Seagrams 151 like it was your mothers breast milk and being both drunk and disorderly. The evening got a little cloudy but by the end of the night I’m told that we killed a hobo and shared a whore. Or maybe it was the other way around.

My point is that we’d like to welcome you Catholics who disagree with pope killjoy into the Freedom and Shit [dot] org fold. Like many Catholic websites we are certified by the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers so you know we’re legit.

I’m mean, how can he talk about “pleasure at all costs” being bad when he gets to wear gold robes and pointy hats while driving around in a sweet car with a bubble top?
