karma chameleon

1. We know that chameleons are reptile lizards that cange color in an instant, often due to emotion. A karma chameleon is a person who is a gung-ho supporter of a certain cause or celebrity and when things turn out different or when something is discovered about the said hero ('pillar of the community') that person claims that s/he never was a fan in the first place. Such people switch sides, allegiences and opinions in an instant, they deny and lie in order to look 'cool'.

2. A number one hit for the British band Culture Club. It was the biggest hit for the year 1983 in the UK, topping the charts fot 6 weeks and it also hit #1 in Australia, Belgium, Canada, Ireland, Holland, New Zealand, Norway, apartheid South Africa, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, and the US where it was at #1 for 3 weeks during the harsh winter of 1984. It hit #2 in West Germany, #3 in Austria and #8 in then Communist Poland.
1. Bubba was a Ted Nugent, he never served during the Vietnam War but he cheered for it, claimed that nobody had a right to oppose it. Years later he says it was a waste yrt he brings up that 'Jane Fonda' shit all the time. IOW, he's a karma chameleon.
2. JackOff Jimmie is an armchair warrior asshole, watching war drama on TV and cheering, 'Yaaayyyy! Kick some ass! Kill dem Ayy-RABS! Nuke em to hell, yeah!' with a beer in one hand and playing pocket pool with the other. Afghanistan, Iraq, Haiti, Libya, whatever. HE'S a 'Patriot', ya see. Now that the US is leaving Afghanistan he suddenly 'was against it all along'. Don't give us veterans that 'karma chameleon' shit, chickenhawk!!!
3. Geeky Jee LOOOOVED Donnie Douchebag Trump, saw his tantrumy 'innauguration' on TV and is a total starfucker. Now that everybody can see what an evil fascist pig and traitor Spanky Don really is, Geeky Jee is now deserting the sinking ship and really 'never liked' that pussy-grabbing piece of shit. Where were YOU, karma chameleon?

4. Tommie thinks he's so 'cool'. In 1988 when the Cincinnati Bengals were headed to Super Bowl XXIII he was instantly and always a Bengals fan. When the Bengals bungled and got smashed big time by the San Francisco 49ers in the 1989 Game, the next day he is and always was a San Francisco 49ers fan.

5. 'Karma Chameleon' is a nice pleasant song from my senior year in HS.

fucking PC 90s

a phrase used by Kevin DuBrow of the band Quiet Riot during a show in Columbus, Ohio in 2000 to refer with a sneer to the previous decade. He apparently had hope for the 21st century. Unfortunately, that hope so far has been dashed.
The TV, the clothing styles, the hairstyles, the movies, the music, the politics, the economy, all the major trends of today suck out the ass. The decline of cool started during the fucking PC 90s.

Ghostbusters

1. in the military it's a slang word for fuzzies that collect in a room. AKA "dust bunnies" , "ghost turds", "frizzlins" and other names.

2. a popular movie that played in cinemas during the summer of 1984. A 1989 sequel didn't do so hot. Also there's a video game based on that movie.

3. the theme song for that movie, a number one hit for Ray Parker, Jr..
1. Clean up them ghostbusters behind the bed.

2. if there's something strange
in the neighborhood

3. the following year on TV Ray Parker, Jr. was featured on an ad for Coca-Cola where he said,
... "who ya goan call?
THIRSTBUSTERS!"

Lame, real lame.

Focus On the Family

A 'Christian' fundamentalist fanatical Talban organization founded in 1977 by the self-appointed preacher-teacher-psychologist James Dobson who claims to have been a 'hippie' in his younger days but later 'saw the light'. Or that 'he learned to pray before he could talk'. Depends on what day it is. He DID see a way to steal money. Oh, his ideology 'focuses' on the family and 'family values' alright. As in hatred towards Jews, Muslims, other (real) Christians, homosexuals, 'liberals', the usual rigmarole. Dobson is anti-abortion and advocates violence against Planned Parenthood clinics whether they do abortions in them or not. He even supported the dumb broad Sarah Palin fervently, even when her teen daughter got pregnant just because Sarah is a flamboyant 'GOOD conservative Christian' (as in HYPOCRITE). And he endorses the money-grubbing 'Promise Keepers' rip-off that sprouted in the 90s (remember that bullshit?).

But there's more. He insists on the outdated notion that the sexes aren't equal - the woman MUST be submissive to her man EVEN if he beats the fucking shit outta her. And get this. He says that the teen years are 'tough' (don't we know it!) so his 'solution' is 'father-daughter dances AND dates' as well as having mothers and sons go on DATES! Yeah, 'Take Mom to the Prom'! WHADDAAAAFUUUUUUUUUKKKK!!!!! Incestuous, obscene, sickening to the max! Dobson stepped down as the head in 2010 to host a radio showbut still has a large influence in this CULT.
1. Rage Against The Machine mentioned this fanatic cult with 'They gather round the family/ with a pocket full of shells!'
2. Focus On the Family has a lot of tentacles of influence encircling media, TV, political friends - all intended to fill the pockets of liars and robbers. They probably kowtow to the ANTICHRIST dirtbag Traitortrump too because they sure don't follow the real Christ.

3. If you have a family of your own - focus on YOUR family. Follow your heart, pursue a real religion but DON'T have anything to do Focus On the Family. It's a fraudulent enterprise of brainwashing, greed and hatred.

stick it out

a killer hit from the 1993 hit album "Counterparts" by the Canadian progressive/hard rock band Rush. A great inspirational and uplifting (and rocking) tune to listen to when you're the minority on a certain point of view, people around you behave like programmed androids that question nothing and can't think for themselves, and you know that you are right.
... Stick it out
Don't swallow the poison
Spit it out
Don't swallow the lies
Stick it out
Don't swallow your anger
Spit it out
Don't swallow your pride
Stick it out
Stick it out...

hunka-hunka burning crud

A piece of trash, utter shit. This term is a variation of the phrase "hunka-hunka burning love" from the song "Burning Love" by the one and only Elvis Presley.
During the week of August 16 (Elvis death anniversary) a TV network had an "Elvis flick" about how his ghost haunts the city of Memphis and gives advice to some local residents. The TV guide said that the TV movie would make Elvis spin in his grave - don't waste your time, it's a hunka-hunka burning crud.

Peter Jennings

a Canadian journalist and reporter for America's ABC News for several years. He caused a stir a few years ago when he said that a recent tune by jingoist Toby Keith is not in the spirit of American holiday the 4th of July (Independence Day). Well, he was right - July 4 is a celebration of American independence and freedom, not war. A lifelong heavy smoker, he died of lung cancer in 2005. RIP Peter Jennings.
In late August 1997, I was going to watch ABC Night Line on tv at midnight, then hit the sack. It gave live coverage of the funeral of Mother Teresa in India. Peter Jennings gave an excellent unbiased coverage of the event, and you could see by the diversity of the audience how well respected and greatly admired Mother Teresa was. There were Sikhs, Buddhist monks, Hindu clergy, Orthodox Christian clergy, Jewish rabbis and many more. Jennings interviewed a Lutheran pastor, a Muslim scholar and others. He gave no bias in all this, he let the people do the talking. It went on all through the night, not ending until about 6 AM Eastern Time. Peter Jennings did a great job of covering this event. He was not a programmed doctrine-spewing mannequin like many reporters on many other networks. He was not a "pop news" airhead.
