Goosestepping in Middle America
Okay friend and bloggers, I have a couple of things to share with you and then I'll bring you Today's Motherfucker.
First, a personal anecdote. The other night the Lovely Brook and I were out and about helping to celebrate the anniversary of the birth of one of Brook's co-workers.
The place of said celebrating was the Penguin, a piano bar located in downtown Columbia, MO. Now let me tell you something about my feelings regarding piano bars.
I do not like them.
There's always a cover, the drinks are overpriced, it's too loud to have any actual conversation and the same 11 songs are played in every piano bar in the world every night.
But that is neither here nor there, for I am not writing a critique of the bar. No, I just wanted to share one "experience" I had therein.
I was making my way to the restroom. Now this was not the easiest of going as the bar was fairly crowded. So as I snaked my way through the crowd I found myself every now and then patting a person on the back to let them know I was sliding behind them. As I said it was loud so simply saying "excuse me" wasn't going to get the job done.
Well, as I was placing the "excuse me pat" on the back of a gentleman, circumstances had it that he encountered someone I am presuming to have been his friend. I presume this as the two men exchanged that sort of handshake/chest-bump/half-hug thing you see guys do on the TV.
So this is how it all played out. My hand is on the back of the first guy. The second guy's hand then comes around for the half-hug and lays itself over mine. Are you following me here? My hand was stuck in a man-hug and I couldn't get out of it.
It has been a long time since I felt quite so uncomfortable, not in a homophobic way (or a homophilic way for that matter) but in a "I don't belong here" kind of way. Taking care not to exchange even a fleeting glance I hurried to the restroom, did my business and then took as meandering a path back to me seat as was possible without actually leaving the building.
So there you go.
Now, on to the real business of the day. This coming Saturday, March 10th, 2007, will see a demonstration in the streets of downtown Columbia, Missouri as performed by a noted "political" party.
In protest of what they determine is an agenda on the part of the University of Missouri, most specifically it's School of Journalism, to promote the spread of Marxism the American National Socialist Party, based in Minneapolis, Minnesota, will be marching through the streets of mid-Missouri.
For those a little on the historically challenged side, the National Socialist Party is more commonly associated with Germany and known by the quaint acronymical nickname the Nazi Party.
The fuckin' Nazi Party!!!!!!!
You need not check your watches....this is indeed the year of your lord 2007.
John Belushi hated Illinois Nazis and I really don't care for these Minnesota and Missouri Nazis coming to my town and stirring up trouble.
Their specific beef with my Alma Mater is a perceived promotion of Mexican immigration by the school's immigration research center and Adelante!, the School of Journalism's bilingual newspaper.
The permit issued for the demonstration calls for the march to take place between noon and 5 p.m. and to include anywhere from 20 to 50 people. Those numbers could multiply as the Nazis have invited all "racialists" to come join them in protest of a Mexican invasion of the United States.
Now sadly, I am already obligated to be at work next Saturday between noon and 5 p.m., but if any of you is curious and perhaps plans to attend I can lend you t-shirts bearing the likenesses of V.I. Lenin, Che Guevara, Mao-Tse Tung or Fred Hampton.
[Editor's Note: Your beloved author does not mean to infer Mr. Fred Hampton was either Marxist, communist or any other -ist, but the presumption is Nazis still would not have liked him.]
Seriously though, as much as I would love to counter-demonstrate against these pricks, all sane people need to be careful. This group held a similar demonstration in Toledo, Ohio in 2005 to protest gang violence and rising crime rates. The result amounted to all-out war between the Nazis and opposition groups as a riot raged for 4 hours, leaving behind burned out businesses and broken glass in the streets of Toledo.
This group wants violent action from its opponents. Every time a redneck fuck in a white hood gets bloodied these groups get more face time and another impressionable kid goes down the way wrong road. If you want to speak out against these people, show up with a sign, but don't say a word and do NOT act with even a hint of aggression.
In summary, Today's Motherfucker is Steven Boswell, leader of the Missouri Unit of the National Socialist Movement. He is being discredited with this award for pretty much being a general motherfucker.
Today's Motherfucker will be a semi-regular installment spotlighting an individual or group who has either made the world a worse place overall or affected the life of noted blogger JeffRey in a way he finds inconvenient.
Til next time kids......shalom.

The fucking Nazi party?!! You were right, I couldn't believe it.
So you know, Mike technically may have FIDS...Feline Immune D....but hopefully not.
By the way, if you ever label me the motherfucker of the week, or blog, or whatever, and therefore lump me in with a Nazi, I will fly to Columbia and smack the shit out of you.
Peace.
