This has to be the #1 response I've gotten when I tell people I'm going to be writing for a blog, followed by "What the hell does that mean" and "But I thought you hated bloggers". So, for my inaugural post, I thought I'd toss down my two-cents on what the hell this blog is.
Now, I'm not saying Philboid didn't do an outstanding job with the opening post for our humble corner of the interwebs, he is much gooder at writin' word-type things than I'll ever be. It just seems that from Phil's opening post, this blog is going to focus on religion, which is not the case for me. Now of course I'll be dishing critiques on the god-punchers when dishing is due, but I'll also be spreading my checks and blogging over politics, general news stories, and the state of cheese sandwiches in our fair nation. Ya know, stuff the kids are into.
Well, without further ado, here is what the name of the blog means (at least in my rattled brain):
Deus ex Machina: The point in a story or work of fiction where everything becomes so absurd you stop, shake your head, and proclaim, "This is fucking retarded".
Douche ex Machina: The point in life, when talking to someone, reading a newspaper/magazine/bathroom graffiti, or watching TV, where you stop, shake your head, and proclaim, "This person is a fucking douchebag!"
So that's what this blog is for me, a way to metaphorically kick in the groin all the gawddamn douche's that ruin my day by opening their mouths. I hope you enjoy it. If you don't, direct all hate mail to the Professor, he's the cunt that talked me into blogging in the first place.

Indeed. Focus on the douches, wherever they rear their ugly snouts, in whatever form. I sometimes think that beind every douche there's a god-botherer, but that's not really fair to the douches.
