Morford: It Will All Be Over Soon. BushCo? Kerry? SUV gluttony? Your last orgasm?
San Francisco Chronicle ^ | 10/8/04 | Mark Morford (waxing philosophical!)

Posted on 10/08/2004 10:59:31 AM PDT by MikalM

It's so easy to get all caught up in the everyday spit and hiss and noise and blank presidential smirks. Isn't it?

It is, after all, incredibly easy to get stuck in the white-hot moment, all screaming elections and bland debates and counterfeit terrorism fears and ugly obesity epidemics and Atkins-approved bubble gum and air/water pollution like an afterthought, all commingling with the mad melodrama of your last bad haircut and the scratch on your precious bumper to the point where we forget the scope of it all, the scale, the macro and the micro and the ebb and flow and the imminent flip of the cosmic switch.

This is how we are wired. This is only what we see. The long view is clearly not our forte, a sense of the celestial a concept we just can't quite taste. We forget, for example, how relatively quickly regimes rise and neoconservative empires fall and populations overturn and how nearly every single human biped now alive and walking and spitting and parallel parking and consuming Big Macs and not watching ABC sitcoms on the planet today will be very much completely dead within a short 100 years, if not sooner.

Pause here. Think about that. A hundred years, everyone now alive, dead. Everyone. You. Me. Bush. Your kids. All dead. Guaranteed...

Why does this column remind me of that scene in ANIMAL HOUSE where the freshman is smoking pot for the first time at his hipster-prof's house?

I guess because it's kind of amusing to watch him get more incoherent and hysterical with each successive column. Sort of like watching a cartoon train wreck.

This guy is hilarious. I shudder to think of anyone who thinks he's a mental heavy-weight and actually has something deep to say about anything that actually matters...

Unfortunately I live too close to San Francisco. The Chronicle is a piece of liberal-socialist garbage that supports the radical-leftist pig wallow that San Francisco is. I have not touched a "Chron" for fifteen years...the reason is clear. It has degenerated, like its home city, into a haven of liberal activism, rampant perversions, law breaking officials, and activist liberal courts which have no reservations about legislating from the bench on the liberal behalf. A total cancer on what was once the greatest state in the nation.

Thus, this article is no suprise.

Reading Morford is like driving past a car wreck: it's so grotesque you can't look away. It's also funny. I've never read a writer who can so skillfully convey wild-eyed hysteria. It must be a gift.

Morford has about as much credibility as Dan Rather.

I believe we provide his only audience. I also believe he relishes his threads here.

If anyone is taking a poll, I vote he be banned.

Morford: "I won't go schizo, will I?"
Dave Jennings: "It's a distinct possibility."

Why does this knucklehead keep getting posted on FR?

Because this column is a graphic example of the logical outcome of deeply-held leftists beliefs.

That is, palpable insanity.

Must be catching amongst the scribbling community.

I could be wrong, but I think Morfords, uh, column only appears online. It's still tripe.

He should have come down before writing.

Whatever he was smoking must have been good.

A hundred years, everyone now alive, dead. Everyone. You. Me. Bush. Your kids. All dead. Guaranteed.

WHAT?!?!?!?!?!?!

To anyone who doesn't like Morford being posted here: how else would you have found out about this without his article? This really screws the rest of the day for me. And it's raining, too.

His ongoing mission to plumb the depths of gibbering insanity amuses some of us.

A hundred years, everyone now alive, dead.

Truth.

Morford's response: "Eat, drink and be merry, for tomorrow we may die".

An alternative response: "So do not worry, saying, 'What shall we eat?' or 'What shall we drink?' or 'What shall we wear?' For the pagans run after all these things, and your heavenly Father knows that you need them. But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well. Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own."

Compare and contrast.
