I am but a simple man.

It sounds as if you are saying, that if you are standing on a tree limb and cutting it with a saw, you should be sure you're standing on the side that won't drop.

In a nutshell?

I am but a simple man.

You had to know you'd be sending me to Google and THIS time also Wikipedia.

I am but a simple man.

Still made me laugh.

I was kinda looking for a YES or NO. I am but a simple man.

Code Monkey get up get coffee
Code Monkey go to job
Code Monkey have boring meeting
With boring manager Rob
Rob say Code Monkey very diligent
But his output stink
His code not "functional" or "elegant"
What do Code Monkey think?
Code Monkey think maybe manager want to write god damned login page himself
Code Monkey not say it out loud
Code Monkey not crazy, just proud

Code Monkey like Fritos
Code Monkey like Tab and Mountain Dew
Code Monkey very simple man
With big warm fuzzy secret heart:
Code Monkey like you
Code Monkey like you

Code Monkey hang around at front desk
Tell you sweater look nice
Code Monkey offer buy you soda
Bring you cup, bring you ice
You say no thank you for the soda cause
Soda make you fat
Anyway you busy with the telephone
No time for chat
Code Monkey have long walk back to cubicle he sit down pretend to work
Code Monkey not thinking so straight
Code Monkey not feeling so great

Code Monkey like Fritos
Code Monkey like Tab and Mountain Dew
Code Monkey very simple man
With big warm fuzzy secret heart:
Code Monkey like you
Code Monkey like you a lot

Code Monkey have every reason
To get out this place
Code Monkey just keep on working
See your soft pretty face
Much rather wake up, eat a coffee cake
Take bath, take nap
This job "fulfilling in creative way"
Such a load of crap
Code Monkey think someday he have everything even pretty girl like you
Code Monkey just waiting for now
Code Monkey say someday, somehow

Code Monkey like Fritos
Code Monkey like Tab and Mountain Dew
Code Monkey very simple man
With big warm fuzzy secret heart:
Code Monkey like you
Code Monkey like you

Also (from Slate): “Please sit down, I am a simple man who does not like to be fussed over," Stewart said in Arabic, according to CBS News.

When I watch stuff like this now that I am older, I always come up with simple man solutions. Hey donald, why not take a sledge hammer to the hive...

Dag....dystop??...I am a simple man with very simple solutions to complex problems.....
political commentary can be summed up with an analogesic reference...

ever see the penguins during mating season, all tittering and shouting together in unison????

That jab at Moyers was a non-sequitur to test the resolve of the blogger-can he stay on topic when a wrench is thrown in.....
No-accusatory language is met with questioning the veracity of said accusor's entire premise, that being that these candidates, this election cycle, and the entire system, is in fucking retrograde,and that those who discuss their part in it, are fools, putties, cowards and imbeciles-(check mirror)

I'm not a fucking idiot, dystop-America, nay, the world,is being fist-fucked, and her people follow in lock-step to their own demise....

Obama is an asshole
Wright is an asshole
Moyers is a cunt

oh and dystop, as silly fun as your capper was, I never want to be accused of being able to discuss politics as would be acceptable in some circle-jerk like Meet the Press.....I'd rather eat skunk and fuck a cousin.....

The only reason conspiracy theories exist is because of a lack of information. So when we don't have all the pieces to a puzzle we simply need to find fault with someone who is so powerful we can feel better about not being able to control it.

i.e: JFK assassination. It's hard to accept that one simple man could take down someone who had been given as much power ans Mr. Kennedy. Not to mention compounded by the cold war at the time and the villianizing of communist sympathizers. It was a perfect setting for a theory to evolve about a disturbed man being a KGB asset.

9/11 however makes even less sense then the JFK assassination conspiracy theory. It's against peoples instincts to think they are so vulnerable, and it's hard for decent people to think that anyone so far away and seemingly insignificant would even think of doing something so depraved and twisted. So some start to think "It had to be someone with more power and notariaty."

And it gives birth to a distorted and clouded theory that has little supporting evidence and a whole lot to do with fear and insecurity. Take your conspiracy and hold it up to the light of reason and inconvenience and you'll find it's just a shell of your own fears and paranoia.
