Greetings, Mangy Muffins . . . well, itŠs been a while since IŠve posted a column, but I have a very good reason for that, three actually:

1)      Working on Mangy Movies.  IŠm working on a new video site and sketch comedy show for Dryer Lint Productions.  IŠll also be showing a couple of clips here on this site . . . thatŠs what we in the biz call †synergy.ÿ  Anyhoo, be looking for it.

2)      Finding Kirk Cameron.  I recently joined the Search For Kirk foundation, a terrific organization fighting for a worthy cause.  For more info, here.

3)      IŠm really fucking lazy.  There ya go.

While IŠve been away, many things have happened . . . The †Big Brotherÿ show ended without me (or anyone else I know) watching a single episode, Anna Nicole Smith is now richer than God due to her innate ability to marry rich, and The Sidney Olympics proved that the world could be ending, but it wouldnŠt fucking matter to us if it didnŠt start in a reasonable time zone.

ItŠs a shame, really . . . it almost seems that we as a country canŠt really bother to care about anything anymore, unless itŠs cute, has big tits, and/or a nice car.  My generation hasnŠt really had a good, harrowing, bloody war to get involved in . . . The closest thing we had to a war was Desert Storm, but that seemed more like a really cool miniseries.  Without being able to experience the joys of a full-scale invasion, we have to make due with old Faces of Death tapes and the latest Eminem CD.

In other words, a nation oŠ pussies.  ThatŠs right, every last one of us, pussypussypussy!  Of course, I like to say the word †pussyÿ because it makes me snicker, but thatŠs not important.  ItŠs embarrassing how we act and behave nowadays.  Since we donŠt have to deal with violence like weŠve had to in the past, abroad and otherwise, we now focus our attention on dirty words.  Apparently, sticks and stones may break peopleŠs bones, but words can lead to dozens of frivoulous multi-million dollar lawsuits.  I just realized I misspelled †frivolousÿ - I hope IŠm not sued for that.

I think itŠs gonna take a mild carpet-bombing incident from a foreign nation to get our nation our of our apathetic stupor (preferably to the Dakotas � low risk of fatalities, and Mount RushmoreŠs there).  Regardless, itŠs clear that we have GOT to wake up . . . I mean, look at whoŠs gonna be our next president.

Do you have any thoughts on this?  Or are you stoned to care?  Email me at MangyDog@hotmail.com, and let me know what you think.

This is the MangyDog, over and out.
