Music

This was originally just a collection of links to what you would see if you clicked on the "I Hate Music" label. It was a way to get to a particular music post quicker. Then Skippy helped me out with some more links, and then I found others on my own in his archive. So now this is the most complete collection of links Skippy's thoughts on music on all the internets.

News

10-23-2007 my current project is fleshing out the Anti-catholic archive. Also updates to the Stones and Music indexes. I collected the old Ask Skippy posts. Oh and I found that post that made me a regular. And I'm tossing things that jump out at me in this list. Now that I have complete access to the past, I won't be updating the current month's archive quite as regularly. The main focus here will be compiling lists of my favorite posts from the past 4 years.

The Pedophile Vote

The posts under the "Why We Read" label will be a collection of the money quotes from selected Skippy posts, Like this one.

"...No one can really blame McGuinty for doing exactly the same thing. After all, the Liberals are the personification of human evil and the exist only to continue winning elections by any means necessary. If there was an Ipsos-Reid poll that conclusively proved that 20% of likely undecided voters were pedophiles, you'd see Dalton McGuinty fucking a five-year-old on television before sundown.

"And no, I didn't just say that Dalton McGuinty is a pedophile. That would be libelous. What I am saying is that the Liberals would embrace pedophelia for political purposes if it were more popular with swing voters. And that isn't libelous because it happens to be true."

...

"Brazen shitheels like Lee Iacocca are out there shilling intellectually empty books like Where Have all the Leaders Gone? when the answer couldn't be more obvious. We killed them. If not literally, then figuratively. There is no significant difference between being a political candidate in a modern democracy and being a panelist on the Jerry Springer Show, and no one with any dignity wants to subject themselves to that."
