Hey, wanna watch some videos?
Yeah, I know, you're probably reading this only because you want to watch the Nick Berg decapitation video, the New Porn that's all the rage.
You're probably bitterly disappointed because so many people want to watch the video that Internet servers are crashing and you can't watch it.
Don't worry: When the craze for the Nick Berg snuff video subsides and servers are no longer crashing, you'll be able to watch it if you still want to after the United States of Amnesia has passed on to The Next Big Thing.
So don't lose your head.
In the meantime, here are some other videos you can watch, most of which contain the gore and the human suffering that you're seeking:
Anniversary
"Victory"
WAR CRIMES
"Liberation"
Top Gun
Grand Theft America
Buddy-Buddy
Can't get enough? There are more here.
P.S. I can't be a hypocrite. I watched the Berg video and I described it here.

Somehow I doubt that "Democratic" Georgia Sen. Zell "Benedict Arnold" Miller would really welcome my thoughts and suggestions... And I hope to God that he doesn't really "represent all Georgians."
Memo to Zell Miller:
You have my full permission to die anytime now!
Yeah, I know that that's not "nice" and we liberals are "supposed" to be "nice."
Fuck that shit.
No more Mr. (Ms.?) Nice Gay. (In case you hadn't already noticed.)
The Associated Press reports today:
COLUMBUS, Ga. -- Sen. Zell Miller, the Bush campaign's most famous Democratic attack dog, ripped into John Kerry [today] as an "out-of-touch, ultraliberal from Taxachusetts" whose foreign and domestic policies would seriously weaken the country.
Miller, the lone Democratic senator publicly backing Bush, made the remarks in a Bush-Cheney grassroots event during the state Republican convention, where he was greeted as a hero.
"I'm afraid that my old Democratic 'ties that bind' have become unraveled," he said in a speech that evoked sustained applause, laughter and two standing ovations.
Kerry spokesman Anthony Coley dismissed the attack as mudslinging by Miller for a president who "wants this race to be decided by the politics of fear and smear."
Coley noted that Miller seemed happy enough with Kerry in 2001 when he hailed him before a Georgia Democratic party gathering as "an authentic" American hero who had worked to strengthen the military.
Miller said Kerry's handlers were trying to soften the Democratic candidate's image and depict him as an average guy.
"Look, John Kerry couldn't find Main Street with both hands," he said. "You can't make a chicken swim and you can't make John Kerry anything but an out-of-touch ultraliberal from Taxachusetts."
The word "turncoat" was being used [today] by some of Miller's fellow Georgia Democrats.
"For him to turn a blind eye to the fact that we're no more secure under George W. Bush, that we're in a morass in Iraq and that he hasn't told the truth to us about weapons of mass destruction makes you wonder what country he (Miller) is looking at," said state Sen. Vincent Fort of Atlanta.
In his speech, Miller insisted the nation was more secure with Bush in the White House.
"With John Kerry on national security, it's vacillate, retreat and turn over to the U.N.," he said. "With John Kerry on domestic policy, it's tax, spend and redistribute income."
He said Kerry deserves praise for his war record in Vietnam but declared his Senate voting record on national defense "shameful," saying Kerry voted "against every single major weapons system that won the Cold War."
"The man now wants to be the commander in chief of U.S. armed forces? U.S. forces armed with what, spitballs?"
Miller, a lifelong Democrat, was Georgia's governor from 1991 through 1998 and was lieutenant governor for 16 years before that. In 2000, Democratic Gov. Roy Barnes chose him to succeed the late Sen. Paul Coverdell, a Republican.
Miller was a strong, early supporter of Democratic presidential candidate Bill Clinton back in 1992. But he has ruffled the feathers of Democratic colleagues since joining the Senate, siding with Republicans on virtually every key issue and writing a best-selling book in which he accuses his party of being out of touch with Southern voters.
The speech [today] was a hit with Georgia Republicans.
"That was the greatest speech he's ever made," said convention delegate Ernest Dyal of McRae. "He could get re-elected today."
Miller, who will be 73 next year, is not seeking re-election.
Miller has the constitutional right to be a dumbfuck. But there is a party for dumbfucks: the Republican Party.
Miller makes all of the same bullshit charges against Kerry that the Republicans do. Yes, the Republicans won't raise our taxes -- they'll just saddle us with huge fucking federal budget deficits. "Play now, pay later" is their idea of "leadership." They get political Brownie points in the short term by being foaming-at-the-mouth anti-taxation, and the working, tax-paying person feels the pain in the long term. And it's public record that the military spending that John Kerry has opposed has been wasteful military spending that even many Republican lawmakers -- and even Dick Cheney, when he was King Bush I's secretary of defense -- opposed.
Miller should get his facts straight. Kerry's defense plan is not the use of "spitballs." It is the use of slingshots.
But seriously, Kerry will be as strong or stronger on defense as was Bill Clinton. (We had no colossal [that is, 9/11-level] terrorist attacks on Bill Clinton's watch, did we? Clinton would have responded to a presidential daily briefing titled, "Bin Laden Determined to Strike in U.S." -- even if he were on vacation.)
But, unlike "President" Bush -- who was able to pussy out of Vietnam because he comes from old, white money (the traitorous Bush clan did business with the Nazis back in the day, just as the Bush clan more recently has done business with the bin Laden family -- look this stuff up if you don't believe it) -- Kerry knows from personal experience that war is hell, and so he won't put our young people in harm's way unless it's for a very good reason. (FYI: Dick Cheney's Halliburton's war profiteering is not a good reason to go to war.)
If Miller wants to be a Republican, why doesn't he join the Republican Party? Why does he remain in the Democratic Party but speak at Republican conventions and write Democratic Party-bashing diatribe?
Oh, yeah: Because if he officially became a Republican, he'd be just another Republican spewing forth the venomous Republican line. He can't get special attention from his fellow Democrats by being a real Democrat, so he gets special attention from the Republicans by calling himself a Democrat but acting like a Republican. Better to reign in hell than to serve in heaven, right?
Clearly, Miller is just trying to get all of the attention he can while he's still in office. While his country falls apart, he's making it all about himself -- and aligning himself with the party that is driving this nation into the ground.
The best thing you can say about people like Miller is that they will die someday, and it will be a great day when Miller finally kicks off and goes to hell, like it was when Strom Thurmond finally dropped dead and went to hell.

Helpful hate e-mail hints!
The whole Nick Berg thing is getting me a record number of hits from search engines -- hundreds of them; people really want to see that video -- and consequently my rankings are skyrocketing and I'm getting more hate e-mail than usual.
All or most of it appears to be coming from terrified straight white males who think that George W. Bush is doing a great job and are petrified because they know that they are an endangered species. (You know, these are the guys with the faded and peeling "United We Stand" stickers on the windows of their trucks by their gun racks.) We fags, liberals, women, nonwhites, commies, non-"Christians," Democrats, et. al. are taking over the nation and indeed, the world -- not by force, but by the fact that our numbers are growing and the numbers of stupid white males are declining. Unlike the stupid straight "Christian" white men who have oppressed us for centuries, we really don't plan to hunt them down and kill them, in revenge, like the rabid dogs that they are (unless I didn't get that memo -- are we going to do that? The Muslim extremists are, and they are good at getting out their memos). Anyway, although they have no reason to be, the stupid white men are petrified because they assume that we are going to do to them what they would do to us without a second thought.
Without further ado, let me give you haters (and non-haters) some helpful (hate) e-mail hints:
- If you start off by calling me an "asshole" or the "idiot" or the like, you've already lost me. It's apparent that you can't come to the battle with any facts or logical arguments, but can only resort to name-calling because I have threatened your precious little dysfunctional stupid straight white male belief system and you don't have the vocabulary with which to cope with the situation. (I love to name-call myself, but I back up my shit with facts and logical arguments and links to reputable Web sites.)
- If you are too pussy to use your full name and e-mail address, I'm unlikely to take anything you say seriously, because it's apparent that you're a fucking coward. I could have a completely anonymous weblog if I wanted to, but I do not. I put my full, real name on it and I allow people to send me e-mails through it.
- If you misspell simple words, if punctuation eludes you and/or if you couldn't make a coherent, logical argument if your life depended upon it, don't bother to e-mail me. All I have to judge you on in an e-mail is your writing skill; if your writing is disordered, I can only conclude that your thinking is disordered, and I don't have time for you. (If English is your second language, let me know and I probably can cut you some slack.) I don't mind minor mistakes, but if your e-mail is a mess, it's all over.
- If you threaten violence against me -- even though I know that probably you actually are a chickenshit just like the chickenhawks you worship ("President" Bush, Dick Cheney, Paul Wolfowitz, et. al. -- you know, all of the people who love to talk war and to send our young people off to slaughter but who evaded military service themselves) -- you've lost me. It's apparent that you're just feeling threatened because I have contradicted or otherwise challenged your backasswards belief system and your little brain can't handle the cognitive dissonance, so you resort to violent threats.
- If I believe that any threat of violence is a real threat, I will notify the appropriate law enforcement authorities and Internet service providers, as it's illegal to threaten people with physical harm and if I don't report you you'll probably be bombing an abortion clinic next.
- Don't bother telling me that my weblog "sucks" or is "stupid" or the like. If you think that I'm going to stop doing what I love to do just because you don't like it, because it rattles your tiny brain, you are sadly mistaken. (But we knew that already.) If you must tell me that my weblog "sucks" or is "stupid" or the like, give me the link to your Obviously Superior Weblog so that I can learn from The Master. (What's that you say? You don't have a weblog? Yeah, I didn't think so.)
- Don't think that daring me to contact you or stating that you figure that I won't contact you because I'm a coward or I'm wrong or the like will actually make me contact you. I will contact you only if I feel like it and only if you have sent me a carefully, thoughtfully, respectfully written e-mail -- not because you double-dog dared me like a fucking 5-year-old. If you ask me to contact you and I don't, it's most likely because it's painfully apparent that you are so far gone that to contact you would be a fucking waste of time and energy.
- Don't bother to e-mail me that you don't like my use of profanity and/or my "angry" tone. Fuck you if you don't like it. It's my style and I ain't changing my style for you. If you see a cuss word -- gasp! -- and it's all over for you, or if you can't handle my edginess, I don't want you reading my fucking weblog anyway. Similarly, you just aren't going to win me over to your point of view on most major issues. I will never believe, for example, that George W. Bush is even our legitimate president, much more a minimally competent president, no matter how many years we might bicker about it. (The Bush regime's storm troopers might have perfected some methods at Abu Ghraib prison, however, to make me love Big Brother, just like Winston Smith does at the end of George Orwell's 1984.)
- If you disagree with me on a point or points and can tell me, in passably correct, coherent English (I have nothing against other languages, but I know only English and am only semi-fluent in Spanish), exactly why you disagree with me, using logic and reason and facts (and, if called for, links to reputable Web sites to support your assertions), and if you can tell me in a way in which you would want to be told, then by all means e-mail me. I am open to constructive criticism.
- Know that any e-mail I receive through my weblog I consider fair game for publication.
- Finally, if you are one of the people who are awake and alive and intelligent and informed and unafraid and haven't drunk the Kool-Aid -- if you are one of those people who know what I mean by "haven't drunk the Kool-Aid" -- and if something that I post strikes you, take a few moments to e-mail me. Please do, because you know that the dumbfucks do.
P.S. Speaking of my hits, someone stumbled upon my weblog today by typing in "Where is Nick Berg's head?" into the Yahoo! search engine. Actually, that's a legitimate question for the curious-minded. To my knowledge, Berg's head has not been recovered and he was buried yesterday without it. That's a detail that most mainstream media outlets aren't sharing, probably because they figure it's too crass, but I think that you can feel that Nick Berg's murder was heinous (because it was) and still wonder what happened to his head.
P.P.S. I first posted this hours ago, so of course I've already received a hate e-mail to prove my point:
A person identifying himself as Frank Speiser writes (this is a copy and paste):
I happened across your website quite accidentally while doing a search.
Then I read your manifesto.
You are one sick puppy, my friend. You need help.
Check your local yellow pages. The sooner you find a shrink, the better off you will be.
Hatred such as yours is a hazard to your health. Your blood pressure must be "off the chart".
Best wishes for your improved mental health,
Frank
I respond to Frank:
Gee, Frank, so sorry that you stumbled upon my Web site while you were looking for the Nick Berg snuff video like a good patriot would! You had to see something written by someone who doesn't march in lockstep like a good little American Nazi, just like you do, and it rocked your world enough for you to write me a hate e-mail.. Poor baaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaby!
My blood pressure is fine, actually; always has been. That's probably because I let it all out, and the stupid white men like you give me endless opportunities to do so.
But thank you for what I am sure is your genuine concern for me, Frank. Pray for me, OK?
Frank, I do congratulate you for writing me a passably literate e-mail -- did you have help? -- but I note that while you call me "one sick puppy" and question my sanity as though you had any expertise whatsoever in the field of mental health, you don't bother to make one rational argument against anything I've written. Because you can't -- I'm right and you're fucking wrong.
Buh-bye, Frank. It was a short but passionate relationship.
P.S. The period goes inside of, not outside of, the closing quotation mark.
Frank Speiser. Hmmm. Sounds male. Sounds white. (Sounds German [Heil Bush!].) And we can readily conclude from his e-mail that he's stupid. So that would make him just another stupid white man.
To be fair and balanced, I have received two fan e-mails today from guys whose names suggest that they are white males. (Note that I don't think that all white males are stupid; there is a world of difference between white males and stupid white men.) I have nothing against white males -- I'm one myself (although I channel a very, very pissed-off goddess) -- but it would be nice to receive more e-mails, even hate e-mails, from women and from people who aren't white. (White males: Don't get me wrong. Keep the fan e-mail coming!)
Here's a fan e-mail from a G.B., whose name suggests that he is a white male (note that if you're a stupid white man and actually have the balls to give me your full, real name, I will publish it; if you're a white male, I will use your initials):
Robert,
I agree with your position that Americans should be able to spell, construct a grammatically correct sentence and be able to convey a thought forthwith; however, *you* state: "I myself wouldn't join the military because I think...".
I can't believe that someone who goes on a paragraphs-long rant about proper use of English could author such a grammatically imperfect statement. Who else would "I" be, "yourself"?
So, you see, no one is perfect. I recently turned 60 and I swear I have lost half of my vocabulary and memory. I'm contemplating wearing an aluminum bowl on my head so the government can't erase my memory banks any further. :) I know those aren't traffic helicopters going over my house every hour!
I *had* to write this, just to knock you down a notch. Sometimes we all need that, and I would hate to think there might be an exception!
Now keep up the good work!
I respond to G.B. (note that I respond to the haters only on this weblog, because to respond to them via e-mail would be to give them my e-mail address, and I don't want to give my e-mail address to obviously disturbed people; I do respond to my fans via e-mail, however):
G.B.:
I never said that every word of my weblog is correct! I would never claim that because I could never live up to it.
However, I make an effort to use correct English.
I do want my weblog to have a conversational tone, which is why I tend to write like I speak -- contractions, profanity, slang, etc. -- except, of course, my written sentences tend to be much longer than my spoken sentences. (My biggest flaw, perhaps, is my long sentences, but I'm rather attached to them, so they're probably going to persist for a while.)
Thank you for writing. Every time I see from an e-mail writer's name that he appears to be a white male, I expect that it's going to be some more e-bile, so it's nice when it isn't.
Robert
