A Journal of Humor and Verbal Anarchy

 

free speech ain't for sissies

A great American was once quoted, "the more you're able to bitch and moan, the more you protect freedom here at home and abroad. "

Actually, that was Ez's great great grandfather, George Patrick Henry Swaytze Kidder, pictured above left.

Great great grandad was personally issued off the battlefield at Saratoga. The history books aren't very specific as to the reason for his public humiliation but it was probably because he was griping or complaining about something or other. Later, he took up testing time pieces under extreme conditions as a vocation. He is most remembered for going over the American Falls in Buffalo, New York with the first wrist watch produced in the newly federated US of America. Neither grandad or the watch were ever seen again.

Hey, man, this blog ain't about Ez imitating bad Dave Barry or P.J. O'Rourke pieces. It's about a revolutionary new concept --the community bitch blog. Finally, here's a chance and a space to complain about the manager of Now You're Cooking, the pasty faced asshole with the snooty attitude who overcharges on everything from a can opener to a Waring blender that you can get $50 cheaper at Target. Or take a potshot at your shift supervisor At Target. Hey, you compose the diatribe, Ez will take the wrap.

We're talking Democracy with a capital "D." Get back at those fuckers for making your world, your country, your state, your city, your home, your job, your shopping experience, your ride to the drycleaner's, your whatever, a miserable, humiliating, frustrating, god I wish I had an Uzi, type of experience. Broadcast your opinion where everyone can read it. Hell, most of the time the Ithaca Journal or the Ithaca Times won't publish your letter to the editor. The system is rigged. The newspapers are all in bed with the bosses, the politicans, the guys with the fat pocket. This ain't a fucking democracy. Not when the little guy doesn't have the wherewithall to express his opinion. That's what grafitti is for, after all.

But you don't have to sneak out after dark to spray BUSH IS A NAZI or MAYOR CAROLINE PETERSON SNORTS COCAINE OUT A JELLO MOLD on the wall of the Fleet Bank Building. Don't take a chance of getting your ass hauled up to Sheriff Pete's new jail. Just send an email to Ez. He'll put your beef right up on the World Wide Web, baby.
