About the Blogmaster
Tim Maddog was abducted by aliens several years ago and is now secretly blogging from an island where even the domestic media doesn't know its name.
Before his abduction he helped to create The Sedition Commission, actively opposed an infamous racist political candidate, hosted his very own weekly radio show (where he was threatened by backers of the aforementioned candidate), and fought the College Republicans singlehandedly. During the 1980s and 90s he published the 'zine Vital Information.
Tim Maddog is an atheist, a vegetarian, a non-drinker, and a bicyclist. If you don't use your rear view mirror when driving alongside him, he will rip it off of your car with his bare hands. If you're an extra-large uniformed soldier, and you crash your motorcycle into him, be prepared for an ass-whoopin'. He's a Maddog! On the other hand, if you smile at him, he'll smile back at you.

The name of the rap?
The name of this blog comes from the title of a rap done by Tim Maddog on The Sedition Commission's An Ambient Boot to the Head. Listen to it online here.
Maddog Quotes
* Question everything -- especially this.
* My race is human. What's yours?
* They cannot control us!
* Part of the real secret is that "us" includes you.
* Ignorance is bliss, and I'm pissed.
* I only eat live meat.
* Everything in moderation -- even moderation itself. (...though I'm apparently not the first to have said it.)

My Taiwan shitlist
Be careful with these motherfuckers who disguise themselves as "journalists." They're armed with memes like "renegade province" and aren't afraid to use them. If any of 'em ever see me, they'd better get on the other side of the fucking street.

KMT is the party of violence
Fact vs. fiction

KMT shoots DPP, DPP throws pebble, KMT cries 'Party of violence'
(Taipei Times editorial cartoon, click for original page)
If it weren't so serious, it would be laughable that someone from the Chinese Nationalist Party (KMT) -- the party responsible for the 228 Massacre of 1947, the Kaohsiung Incident of 1979, four decades of martial law and White Terror on both sides of the Taiwan Strait (resulting in the deaths of millions, yet party members still venerate Chiang Kai-shek [蔣介石]), rioting and crashing campaign trucks into courthouse gates and breaking into Central Election Commission headquarters when they lose elections, and so much more -- is calling the opposition Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) a "party of violence" (暴力政黨), but that's exactly what they've done yet again.
Before I get to this latest instance, take a look at just a sampling of the behavior of the KMT, and try to keep in mind that they're accusing the other party of being "violent":
2:04 YouTube video: "換掉"
Loose translation: Time for change
On Wednesday, April 22, 2009, female DPP legislator Chiu Yi-ying (邱議瑩) slapped KMT legislator Lee Ching-hua (李慶華) in the face after he provokingly called her a "shrew" (pōfù, 潑婦) in the legislature at least 11 times. Lee also accused Chiu of "lacking a proper upbringing" (沒家教).

Chiu Yi-ying as "lacking a proper upbringing" - FTV News, April 22, 2009
When Lee continued to insult Chiu, she went back and grabbed him by the collar, sarcastically shouting, "Just keep it up!" before she was pulled away by other legislators.
Throughout the day, Lee repeated the phrase "party of violence" over and over.
Later, the ever-redshirt-wearing Lee held a press conference along with other KMT legislators, where he repeated himself some more -- Mao Zedong-like (毛澤東) -- as if doing so would magically turn his lie into "the truth" when he said it for the hundredth time (while pointing to an anonymous quote in the blue media).
Holding up another mirror for the KMT
One of the legislators who accompanied Lee at this press conference was Hung Hsiu-chu (洪秀柱), who said (with a large dose of racist invective) that "violence is in the DPP's DNA." Ironically, while she accuses others of being violent (and the KMT frequently accuses the DPP of being "ethnically divisive"), she can be seen in this video striking two police officers:
1:00 YouTube video: "Cop-hitter Hung Hsiu-chu says "violence is in the DPP's DNA""
The footage of Hung's violence which I used in the above video was excerpted from this one:
0:40 YouTube video: "taiwan豈有此理!洪秀柱打警察未被以現行犯逮捕!"
Translation: Taiwan ridiculousness! Hung Hsiu-chu caught red-handed hitting police, not arrested!
Lee even went to the courthouse with media in tow to press the button in order to initiate a lawsuit against Chiu. It seems like a good time to remind readers of what former president of the Executive Yuan, Hsu Shui-teh (KMT), once said: "The courts belong to us." ("法院是我們家[國民黨]開的.")
Party of violence, indeed! The KMT most certainly and demonstrably is a party of violence!
And, by the way, self-defense is not violence.
