Politics that are fucking hilarious!

I'm in love with all these republican candidates. Really, I absolutely LOVE them. Look, they are the greatest piece of political entertainment to hit the media air waves since Watergate (yes, I was alive and a young college student on summer break working my ass off during Watergate and watched diligently every evening when they rebroadcast the hearings). Like Watergate, every step of this election cycle has been a phenomenal side show of political amusement.

Let's see, we've had Bachmann who was leading the polls for a while after winning some completely insignificant caucus at some completely insignificant republican gathering at some completely insignificant location. Then she began really opening her mouth, or at least the things she said began to really get covered and WOW, Amurrykkka found out what a total asshat they had been routing for. NEXT!

Then there was . . aw hell, my mind can't keep them in order anymore (remember I was alive in 1974). But let's survey the contenders anyway. . .

Cain was a hoot. He was some sort of Uncle Ruckus type character with a little bit charm. What a douche bag. Sadly, the ridiculous moral standards that he and his republican brethren think ought to be imposed upon us all are what brought him down. I love it when that happens. NEXT!

Rick Perry gave it the old brash, big mouthed Texas try. What's with the people of Texas? Why are they so attracted to such openly moronic bozos to be their governor? Sorry Rick (I once had a co-worker who had a sign over her desk that said "never trust a man named Rick), but you don't have an uber-rich daddy sitting with the highest, most powerful levels of world, national and corporate politics to propel you into the White House despite your obvious buffoonery, ridiculous lack of knowledge about anything and blatant bigotry. NEXT!

Newt; just the name is enough to amuse. "FINALLY," the corporate media declared, "someone who can lead us and take control of this primary cluster fuck." BWAAAAHAHAHAHAHA! I guess they weren't really paying attention to this fat assed dick wad the past couple decades. Can a scumbag who dumped his wife while she was in the hospital being treated for cancer for a hot young skank really get elected president. . . who twice dumped women for other women he was having affaires with? Can he really win an election where he is championing family values and at every turn trying to tell US what is wrong with Amurikkka and ourselves? NEXT!

So who is next? Ron Paul? Paul has a certain charm about him and sometimes makes a bit of sense when he talks about getting gov't out of our lives, cutting defense spending and gov't waste. Then you start paying attention and realize that he is a fucking nut case and wants to get rid of the EPA, Dept. of Education, Commerce, FDA, Dept. of Agriculture and a number of other gov't agencies that are the backbone of keeping some semblance of order in this huge complicated society we live in. Hopefully, he aint next. . .

Palin has recently stated that it's not too late to get into the race. Oh please, oh please, oh please. I would so love to see her enter the fray at this point. Wow, would that be some monumental buffoonery or what?

Huntsman? This guy is about as dynamic as an old possum. Aint gonna happen.

My hope is that "santorum" will whip it good and froth to the top and take the lead for a while. Oh what fun that would be.

Sadly, or hell, for the better entertainment wise, all this is wrapped up in christian mysticism and extremist nationalism. Either of which is poison. . . combine them together and take a look at the middle east.

So stay tuned, Newt is slipping, Paul is trending positive and the republican electorate has GOT to be wringing their hands thinking "WTF?!" and ready to grasp at anything that comes along that even has the slightest scent of a candidate that can possibly compete with the current sitting President of the United States. . . and let's face it, they know in their hearts that once again, the democrat president has come along and saved this country from the absurdity of another failed republican administration. Obama is to the devastation wrought by the Bush administration what Clinton was to that perpetrated by the Reagan-Bush fiasco. They both brought order and hope to a catastrophic condition left to them to fix by a failed republican administration. Will the Amurrykkkin voters realize this or will they again vote against the best interests of the country and themselves?

Thanksgiving Message

Thanksgiving Message
Hello my friends.
Here in America it's Thanksgiving. It's a time for families to gather, be grateful for their fortune, however large or small it may be, and feast. We should enjoy our family and celebrate our personal triumphs and tragedies.

It should also be a time to reflect upon what has happened between today and when people from Europe first set foot upon this great land. If you are of European descent, it's not YOUR fault that our ancestors raped, pillaged, stole and committed genocide against the native population, but it is your responsibility to recognize and be aware of what transpired before we came to be here. In that awareness, perhaps we can recognize the ongoing oppression perpetrated by those who find themselves in positions of authority and rule. We can recognize and speak out against the third world conditions to which many Native American people have been relegated.

Sometimes, it only takes one person to speak up and voice concern when injustice occurs. A single voice raised with or against another single voice can sometimes make a difference. If we are grateful for what we have, and humbly accept our good fortune, we can also be a voice for reason and justice.

So be happy on this day of thanks and celebrate family, friends and good fortune, but never ever forget the past, for those who do, are doomed to repeat it with all its horrors.


Bedagi (Big Thunder) late 19th century.
Wabanaki Algonquin writer

Give us hearts to understand;
Never to take from creation's beauty more than we give;
never to destroy wantonly for the furtherance of greed;

Never to deny to give our hands for the building of earth's beauty;
never to take from her what we cannot use.

Give us hearts to understand
That to destroy earth's music is to create confusion;
that to wreck her appearance is to blind us to beauty;

That to callously pollute her fragrance is to make a house of stench;
that as we care for her she will care for us.

We have forgotten who we are.
We have sought only our own security.
We have exploited simply for our own ends.
We have distorted our knowledge.
We have abused our power.

Great Spirit, whose dry lands thirst,
Help us to find the way to refresh your lands.
Great Spirit, whose waters are choked with debris and pollution,
help us to find the way to cleanse your waters.

Great Spirit, whose beautiful earth grows ugly with misuse,
help us to find the way to restore beauty to your handiwork.
Great Spirit, whose creatures are being destroyed, help us to find a way to replenish them.

Great Spirit, whose gifts to us are being lost in selfishness and corruption,
help us to find the way to restore our humanity.

Oh, Great Spirit, whose voice I hear in the wind, whose breath gives life to the world,
hear me; I need your strength and wisdom. May I walk in Beauty.

The Entertainment Value of Politics and Squirmin Herman

Watching Cain self destruct is really hilarious. Now don't get me wrong, if he was some low level gov't servant who got accused of some silly little inappropriate remark ended up losing his pension and job I'd be very sympathetic, but this is some billionaire right wing religious fundamentalist who thinks he ought to be put in a position to legislate his brand of twisted religious morality on the rest of us. Which is: Go ahead and sin, but deny everything and it's ok to say "I don't remember." Sorry Hermy, that only worked for Ronald Raygun.

So like I said, it's downright enjoyable watching this holier-than-thou prick who thinks he is so morally superior succumb to the temptations of the flesh and end up being politically destroyed because of it.

Now, if I were running for office and a bunch of the women I've sexually harassed in my lifetime came forward, I'd send them all greeting cards, tell the world whatever I could remember about the situation (I was usually never one to harass those who didn't harass me first) and then get on with the campaign. I suspect the overwhelming majority of voters would shrug their shoulders and come to the realization of "yes, he IS human" and "well, he has always admitted he's an asshole."

Hilariously, Squirmin Herman is denying everything. He's denying he knew these women and he's making absurd statements like: "I have never acted inappropriately toward anyone." What a total asshat. Somebody needs to tell this bozo the clown that his act has ended and escort him off the stage.

But seriously, isn't political buffoonery fun to watch?

Self destruction in the GOP

So the GOP keeps presenting these extreme right wing whack jobs who keep self destructing like mentally challenged participants in an college quiz bowl competition (I mean really, could you imagine any of them in a college quiz bowl?). How many of them will it take before the moderate faction of the GOP rises up like some kind of phoenix from the ashes and says loudly and clearly "ENOUGH!" Will the real GOP with real traditional conservative values which I can sometimes talk to and embrace and at least live with in peace please stand up and show us your true colors? Will you guys please get off your asses and give us a candidate that we don't have to get out the razor blades if elected?

What did you say? Aw come on, there has to be. Really? There is no moderate faction of the GOP? You mean they're all a bunch of whacked out right wing religious fundies or at least cater to that faction? Oh my. You mean there isn't a group of conservatives who embrace the Eisenhower or even the Goldwater philosophy of gov't and social progress? That's kinda scary.

Oh boy. We funded another bunch of whack jobs.

Viva La Revolucion!

I told ya so. . . right here. . . bout a week ago.

When will we ever learn?

Flying proudly over the birthplace of Libya's revolution, the flag of Al Qaeda
By SAM GREENHILL

The black flag of Al Qaeda was hoisted in Libya yesterday as Nato formally ended its military campaign.
The standard fluttered from the roof of the courthouse in Benghazi, where the country’s new rulers have imposed sharia law since seizing power.
Seen as the seat of the revolution, the judicial building was used by rebel forces to establish their provisional government and media centre.

Putting an end to corpo-fascism

Taxes are lower than they've been in over 60 years. We're spending less on traditional "welfare" programs than we have since before the 60s. Still, all we hear from the republican candidates is bullshit about cutting taxes and cutting entitlement programs. WTF do these mother fuckers want? I suspect they want to be able to compete with the Chinese on our soil. That means turning the middle class into serfs just slightly above slave status. I'm sick of their corporate bullshit and I hope the proles are finally getting fed up with it as well.

I've got a simple solution to bringing manufacturing BACK to America. It's called Tariffs. . . BIG tariffs.

If you are a corporation operating in America it will become difficult for you to manufacture overseas and then import those goods for sale in America. We're talking really big tariffs. Corporations that manufacture onshore and have been doing so all along will be given big tax breaks in accordance with their degree of job creation. Companies like New Balance will win big, Nike will lose big.

I'm all for global economy and markets, but we've got to take care of our people. If cheap foreign products are putting Americans out of work then lets make really good domestic products that people around the world will want. Let's keep the crap out of our markets unless it can compete in a way other than price point.

The only thing standing in the way of this is corporate greed. The pricks and traitors who run America's corporations only want to increase profits. They don't care how they do it or who dies in the process. It's time for the government of, by and for the people to step in and protect the people. We've been protecting the corportions for too long and swallowing the jizz they've been spewing for too long.

I'm not talking compromise here or some program that throws the public a bone and allows the corporations to continue raping and pillaging the masses. I'm talking about hard controls and tariffs on imports. I'm talking about real wage controls and profit margins. We'll have no more of $100 million dollar CEO salaries in this country while workers are being laid off or at any other time.

It's a new world. Corporations have pushed too hard and taken it too far. It's time to push back and push back hard or else this country and the world in general will not survive with a civilized and flourishing human occupancy for many more generations.

Muslim Spring

So dictators have fallen in Tunisia, Libya and Egypt. Getting rid of dictators is always a good thing. What's next? Each revolution was accompanied by the clear outcrys of "Allah is great!" The people who are now leading thee countries until elections can be held, have all promised to "uphold muslim law." So have they traded in totalitarianism for theocracy? What is more irrational? Which will be more oppressive? Will these places end up with clerics and ayatolahs in charge?
Congratulations, you're free to be oppressed and confined by islamic law now. How refreshing.
Looks like a classic case of 'the inmates have taken over the insane asylum.' I guess we'll just have to wait and see.
Remember, you read it here first.

Harvesting the Arab Spring: Tunisia Goes to the Polls
By ABIGAIL HAUSLOHNER / TUNIS | Time.com – 4 hrs ago
As political analysts predicted — and liberals across the region feared — many of Sunday's voters said they voted for the popular Islamist party, Ennahda. Some said they chose the party almost automatically — "they're everywhere" was a common refrain; "they're known" was another reason for voting for a party that was heavily repressed by Ben Ali but challenged him all along. Still, many others said they found the party's religious message inspiring. "Islamic law," exclaimed Tawfiq Bin Mohamed, 62, listing the things that he hoped an Ennahda-led government would ban: gambling, drinking, adultery, homosexuality and bribery. "I have no problem with women voting," he added. "They are free. What I want is Muslim women who fear God and do not do things that oppose Islam. There are many women in Tunisia who don't know the word of God because they have European ideas."

Radical right wing whack jobs. . . main stream republicanism and 2012.

It's been an interesting couple of months watching each new GOP candidate rise and fall like penny ante crack dealers on some rat infested low rent urban street corner. Each one has come out of the gate with their teeth bare ready to take a big bite out of the big dog in the White House, but in succession each one ends up squeaking in the corner like a shit house mouse. Every time one rises to the top the question becomes "Can Obama beat this guy/gal?" Well, it looks like he doesn't have to. The fucked up mess called the republican party, and by "fucked up mess I mean" the self fellating, shit eating, scumbags who guzzle the jizz of the pricks who run corporate Amurkkka, seems to be capable of beating no one but themselvs and their own puds. What a bunch of ignorant fucktards. Every candidate has taken a stand that placates the extremists on the right who call themselves teabaggers (see definition in urbandictionary.com for "teabagging"). When they do the extremists on the right, meaning; the mainstream republican party, gather around and praise their new leader like twelve year old teeny boppers at a Justin Beiber mall appearance. So why is the question "can Obama beat this or that GOP douch bag?" Why isn't the question "can this GOP douch bag beat Obama?"
Well, it seems irrational now doesn't it? There seems to be a lot of irrationality and lack of logic in the minds of political analysts and the voting public these days. Just like the teabaggers who rose up because they believed that Obama had "taxed [them] enough already" when in fact Obama has done nothing but lower taxes, and just like the teabaggers who scream "fascism" and "dictator" at the Obama administration but remained silent when Bush and Co. pushed for "the patriot act." And just like the tea baggers who were shocked at the spending the Obama administration pushed for and enacted to rescue the US economy but never whimpered a sound when Bush and Co. enacted sednig levels that had never been seen before or since, the protests against the Obama administration and the rhetoric from the mainstream press seem illogical.
I'm wondering, could there be reasons other than the ones being proposed as to why all the right wingers hate Obama and call him so many derogatory names. Could there be reasons other than logic as to why this president has received less respect than any president ever? IS it possible that the republican party and the other puppets of corporate Amurkkka in the media could be prompted to have a racist agenda? Yes, I said RACIST you bunch of blind, head in hole hiding ignorant mother fuckers! Take a look. Their rhetoric makes no sense to anyone paying attention to fact. Their lack of agreement with democrat policy and that of the Obama administration is fanatical and borders on hysterical. FACE FACTS! These mother fuckers don't like having a negro running the show. They have lived their lives believing that every black person in America is below them. Sure, they see black people in positions of power and authority, but they excuse that with snarky ignorant comments about equal opportunity and 'white people losing jobs jest becuz that guy is black,' when the fct of the matter is "that guy' probably worked twice as hard and twice as long as the white guy standing next to him to get where he is at. White rednecked racist hate that shit and believe me, they REALLY HATE that a black guy with a Harvard law degree is President of the United States. They hate it a lot.
Come on all you white people. Admit this shit. you hear the comments. You hear the racist bullshit. Sadly, most of you, even those of you who disagree, let it all pass. You don't turn around and say "what did you say?" "or "excuse me, what did you call the President of the United States?" or "I'm sorry, but I don't like hearing people talk like that, I find it offensive and totally unacceptable in modern civilized society." Then there's my favorite: "you dumb ignorant backwoods fuck. What did you just say?" But really, I don't recommend using that line if you're not a 6' tall 200lb. fairly intimidating looking white guy.

Sure, many of us are pissed because Obama turned out to NOT be the reincarnation of Jesus Christ who was about to save the world and the United States of Amerryca from itself. Yea, at least we wanted to have our environmental, economic, social and international diplomatic problems all fixed and tucked away in a disposable container by now. We wanted total and complete parity in the workplace and in society for everyone. We knew he would make all men strong and handsome and all women beautiful and all babies healthy and happy. Well, that didn't happen, so get over it.

Now the question you have to ask yourself is, "who ya gonna vote for?" Some twisted right wing whack job who panders to the lunatic fringe, and by lunatic fringe I mean every right wing republican white assed racist mother fucker with an opinion, or are you going to vote for the intellectual, rational and reasonable man who, despite his short comings is trying to enact a more progressive agenda for the United States of America and push us away from the rabis ignorance of the radical right.

If you are ready to throw in the towel and watch America accelerate it's long flow down the drain, then go for one of those teabagging morons. If not, shut the fuck up for now with the criticism and idle threats of non support and get behind the only candidate that has any sense whatsoever. NOW!

ed. note: I've heard that there might be more people reading this blog than is evident by the comments it attracts. If so, leave a fucking comment. One or two might encourage me to rant like a rabid hillbilly barnyard dog more often.

A terrorist threat! Be afraid!

According to an article in Reuters, on 09/11/11, a passenger jet was given military escort and diverted for "suspicious activity." Here is a description of said "suspicious tivity."

The three passengers were sitting in the same row of the airplane, but did not know each other, Berchtold said. One of the men got up to use the restroom during the flight because he was not feeling well and the other man did the same, she said.
Berchtold said the FBI wanted to dispel media reports that there had been sexual activity on the airplane.
"At no time were any two people in the bathroom at the same time, and the three individuals who were questioned were totally cooperative with us ... and they were never uncooperative with the flight crew," Berchtold said.

Two men went to the bathroom. AND, there was no sexual activity because they went into different bathrooms. Thank god for the vigilance of those on the airplane who pointed out this highly suspicious activity. Where would we be without all this anti-terrorist activity.

As stated by Mr. Weaver below, Bin Laden got what he wanted. This country has become totally fucked up.

That horrible day in Sept., 2001. . .

Back when I was in HS, we used to go down to NYC on weekends. A buddy of mine had music classes every Sat. moerning, so he would drive and I'd just go with him and hang out. Quite a few ties I found myself down on the lower west side staring up at the incredible towers they were building. It was called "The World Trade Center" and it was going to be the tallest building in the world. Not just one, but TWO identical towers. The top few floors were always wrapped in yellow plastic and over the months, that yellow plastic got higher and higher until it was so fucking high up you could hardly believe it. They were amazing structures to see, but back then, we were flying spaceships to the Moon where 10 years before, they were still not flying jets into Laguardia Airport, so amazing things were almost standard faire for the time. We expected such things. and like going to the Moon, I was fascinated with the Twin Towers. I'd walk down West Side Drive and just stare up at them. For decades after that, every time I went to NYC, I'd look downtown and eye the World Trade Center. They stood out like giant monuments on the greatest urban skyline in the world.

when I saw one of them burning that day ten years ago I was sick. I couldn't believe it. Then incredibly, the other one was attacked. Till that point, no one was sure what was going on. Then, as we watched in horror, the first tower of the World Trade Center collapsed. The TV announcer didn't know what was happening, but it was obvious to me that the tower has collapsed. I could not believe what I had just seen and I never felt such a horrible feeling inside of me. The tower had collapsed and I was sure there had to be many thousands of people inside who were being crushed before my eyes. Then the second one went. Twice the horror and the feeling inside was wretched. I thought I was going to vomit so I ran to the bathroom. When I got there I sat down and cried like a little baby. I never felt such despair in my life. All those people vanished and those beautiful towers that I loved as icons of greatness, gone. It was perhaps the worse day of my life. I know it was the worse feeling I ever had inside of me.

Whenever I think of that day I think of those towers collapsing and the true horror that I felt inside myself. I don't have nightmares anymore about, but that nasty feeling creeps in now and then. I can only imagine how those who were there felt. I can only imagine the horror of those who watched, knowing that perhaps their loved one was inside those building.

I later learned that more people from my own hometown died at The World Trade Center than from any place outside of NYC. I know and have met many who had friends, co-workers and relatives who died there.

So here we are ten years later and sometimes it seems like only yesterday that it happened. Hard to believe that it's been ten years, but now, everywhere I look there are signs all over the place saying "Never Forget," and pictures of the burning tower posted all over the place.

OK, so here's all I really want to say:
I've been trying to forget for ten years. I've been trying not to relive that day for ten years. So, why don't you people with your signs and your superficial patriotic bullshit just take it all and shove it up your fucking asses and shut the fuck up!

Rick Perry's batshit crazy plan for America. . . with Sagacious commentary

1. Abolish lifetime tenure for federal judges by amending Article III, Section I of the Constitution.

The nation's framers established a federal court system whereby judges with "good behavior" would be secure in their job for life. Perry believes that provision is ready for an overhaul.

"The Judges," reads Article III, "both of the supreme and inferior Courts, shall hold their Offices during good Behavior, and shall, at stated Times, receive for their Services a Compensation which shall not be diminished during their Continuance in Office."

Perry makes it no secret that he believes the judges on the bench over the past century have acted beyond their constitutional bounds. The problem, Perry reasons, is that members of the judiciary are "unaccountable" to the people, and their lifetime tenure gives them free license to act however they want. In his book, the governor speaks highly of plans to limit their tenure and offers proposals about how to accomplish it.

"'[W]e should take steps to restrict the unlimited power of the courts to rule over us with no accountability," he writes in Fed Up! "There are a number of ideas about how to do this . . . . One such reform would be to institute term limits on what are now lifetime appointments for federal judges, particularly those on the Supreme Court or the circuit courts, which have so much power. One proposal, for example, would have judges roll off every two years based on seniority."

So Rick Perry knows better than our founding fathers. The fathers expected the judges to grow and develop a profound wisdom in their positions. They didn't expect them to become great jurists in six month and serve a two year term. They expected them to become truly great jurists over a long period of service which would be the culmination of a long judicial career. The founding father knew what they were doing and 230 years of experience has proven them right.

2. Congress should have the power to override Supreme Court decisions with a two-thirds vote.

Ending lifetime tenure for federal justices isn't the only way Perry has proposed suppressing the power of the courts. His book excoriates at length what he sees as overreach from the judicial branch. (The title of Chapter Six is "Nine Unelected Judges Tell Us How to Live.")

Giving Congress the ability to veto their decisions would be another way to take the Court down a notch, Perry says.

"[A]llow Congress to override the Supreme Court with a two-thirds vote in both the House and Senate, which risks increased politicization of judicial decisions, but also has the benefit of letting the people stop the Court from unilaterally deciding policy," he writes.

Everyone (except Rick Perry) learned in the 6th grade about our system of checks and balances. Each branch of gov't has limited power. Here Mr. Perry wants to give the legislature the power to make laws AND the ability to decide the constitutionality of those laws. Do we really want these elected yahoos to be deciding what is and isn't constitutional?
This is an insane idea and as far as I'm concerned goes against the very foundation of our country.

3. Scrap the federal income tax by repealing the Sixteenth Amendment.

The Sixteenth Amendment gives Congress the "power to lay and collect taxes on incomes, from whatever source derived, without apportionment among the several States, and without regard to any census or enumeration." It should be abolished immediately, Perry says.

Calling the Sixteenth Amendment "the great milestone on the road to serfdom," Perry's writes that it provides a virtually blank check to the federal government to use for projects with little or no consultation from the states.

And do what for revenue to run the gov't? Increase taxes on corporations? I suspect he's all for removing corporate taxes. This is simply ridiculous.

4. End the direct election of senators by repealing the Seventeenth Amendment.

Overturning this amendment would restore the original language of the Constitution, which gave state legislators the power to appoint the members of the Senate.

Ratified during the Progressive Era in 1913 , the same year as the Sixteenth Amendment, the Seventeenth Amendment gives citizens the ability to elect senators on their own. Perry writes that supporters of the amendment at the time were "mistakenly" propelled by "a fit of populist rage."

"The American people mistakenly empowered the federal government during a fit of populist rage in the early twentieth century by giving it an unlimited source of income (the Sixteenth Amendment) and by changing the way senators are elected (the Seventeenth Amendment)," he writes.

Wow, legislation without representation. Who would these new grand and elite senators be? The captains of industry? Religious leaders? Other agenda ladened extremists? Wow, this is amazing and thoroughly unAmerican.

5. Require the federal government to balance its budget every year.

Of all his proposed ideas, Perry calls this one "the most important," and of all the plans, a balanced budget amendment likely has the best chance of passage.

"The most important thing we could do is amend the Constitution--now--to restrict federal spending," Perry writes in his book. "There are generally thought to be two options: the traditional 'balanced budget amendment' or a straightforward 'spending limit amendment,' either of which would be a significant improvement. I prefer the latter . . . . Let's use the people's document--the Constitution--to put an actual spending limit in place to control the beast in Washington."

A campaign to pass a balanced budget amendment through Congress fell short by just one vote in the Senate in the 1990s.

Last year, House Republicans proposed a spending-limit amendment that would limit federal spending to 20 percent of the economy. According to the amendment's language, the restriction could be overridden by a two-thirds vote in both Houses of Congress or by a declaration of war.

So what happens when a huge natural disaster occurs such a what happened in Japan this spring? What if Yellowstone exploded. A horrible drought? War? How about just lean economic times when we need to be taking care of the citizenry?

This would effectively tie the gov't's hands behine their backs and is another example of what a whack job this guy is.

6. The federal Constitution should define marriage as between one man and one woman in all 50 states.

Despite saying last month that he was "fine with" states like New York allowing gay marriage, Perry has now said he supports a constitutional amendment that would permanently ban gay marriage throughout the country and overturn any state laws that define marriage beyond a relationship between one man and one woman.

"I do respect a state's right to have a different opinion and take a different tack if you will, California did that," Perry told the Christian Broadcasting Network in August. "I respect that right, but our founding fathers also said, 'Listen, if you all in the future think things are so important that you need to change the Constitution here's the way you do it'.

In an interview with The Ticket earlier this month, Perry spokeswoman Katherine Cesinger said that even though it would overturn laws in several states, the amendment still fits into Perry's broader philosophy because amendments require the ratification of three-fourths of the states to be added to the Constitution.

Fuck you, you bigoted, religious fundamentalist, fanatical prick. Nothing more to say about this.

7. Abortion should be made illegal throughout the country.

Like the gay marriage issue, Perry at one time believed that abortion policy should be left to the states, as was the case before the 1973 Supreme Court case Roe v. Wade. But in the same Christian Broadcasting Network interview, Perry said that he would support a federal amendment outlawing abortion because it was "so important...to the soul of this country and to the traditional values [of] our founding fathers."


"the traditional values [of] our founding fathers" I know, and Rick Perry knows what god is thinking too and will be glad to tell you. This dumbfuck does not know a thing about history, technology and social conditions. I have no idea what this MonkeyBoy did in his previous life, but whatever it was I suspect he lived some weird cloistered existence submerged in religious fanaticism. How do batshit crazy fucktard buffoons like this get a seat on the stage of national affairs? I don't get it.


Now take a look at most of this pile of shit. It is designed to give more and more power to fewer and fewer people. Care to guess who those few people would be? I guarantee you it would be corporate interests with a sprinkling of religious fanaticism thrown in just to keep the populous in check.

I believe we need to make some serious changes in how we do business in this country, but this guy is seriously dangerous to the American way of life.

There are crazy fuckers around the world!

Holy fucking shit! These folks are dumber than Amerrykkkin white people who belong to the teabaggers. Well, maybe JUST as dumb.

Will ya look at these morons? They all look like some sort of automitron robot. I mean my god how much more stiff and programmed could they look? Maybe if they all wore the same color tie instead of some with blue and others with red, and there is the black guy wearing a. . . YELLOW TIE?! WTF? I'm tellin it's all absurd. Even Bachman in the middle is dressed like some kinda foil encrusted Jetson's robotic house keeper. It's funny that they got into arguments cuause they all have the same lame assed teabagger ideas.
Thanks GOP. The entertainment value is going to be. . . well, maybe interesting or maybe really fucking boring.

News bits and Dumb shits

Perry says he doesn't believe in global warming AP - 1 hr 6 mins ago
GOP presidential candidate Rick Perry told New Hampshire voters Wednesday that he does not believe in manmade global warming, calling it a scientific theory that has not been proven.

This stupid fuck wouldn't know a scientific theory from religious dogma. He's simply ignorant. Is Texas going to give us another moronmonkeyboy? Just what we need, a fucking bozo who only believes in mythology.

Is Chris Christie preparing to run for president in 2012?
By Chris Moody | The Ticket
New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie has repeatedly denied that he intends to run for president in 2012, but according to Bloomberg View columnist Jonathan Alter, he is taking some early steps toward joining the race.
"My sources say NJ Gov. Chris Christie is conducting focus groups in preparation for a possible run for president in 2012," Alter wrote on Twitter just before 12:30 p.m. Eastern time on Wednesday.


This guy is a fat assed buffoon, but at least he's entertaining. It would sorta be like seeing Tony Soprano and Robt DeNero running for president. But lets face it, Amerrykkkins like a subdued candidate with a little bit of a calm demeanor, so he wouldn't have a chance. Afterall, would you want this thug with his finger on the button?

New fighter jet to bolster Russian air force
August 17th, 2011
11:44 AM ET

Russia's new stealth fighter jet made its public debut Tuesday, according to state-run news source RIA Novosti.

The Sukhoi T-50, developed collaboratively by Russia and India, appeared at the MAKS 2011 air show in Zhukovsky, outside Moscow. . . .

The article from the state-run media source says the Sukhoi T-50 cost the two governments about $6 billion to develop, with India shouldering about 35% of the cost. It is intended to match the U.S. F-22 raptor.

These guys have been reverse engineering American airplanes since after WWII when they built an exact replica of the B-29.

Atheists, Muslims More Popular Than Tea Party (Also, Tea Party's Just a New Name for Racist Christian Right)

Is the media's romance with the Tea Party finally going to be ended by cold, hard facts?

The results of a comprehensive New York Times polling project (document link here) offer some good news to that end. The results show that public opinion is trending away from Tea. They also dispel some big myths about the Tea Party being economic in nature rather than what it actually is: a re-branded, repurposed version of the same old Christian Right. This may seem familiar to AlterNet readers--but still, it's good to have the numbers and the mainstream attention to highlight such a crucial truth.

Here's the juiciest nugget from professors David E. Campbell and Robert D. Putnam in the Times, one which encapsulates the Tea Party's growing unpopularity with a vivid comparison or two (emphases mine):

Of course, politicians of all stripes are not faring well among the public these days. But in data we have recently collected, the Tea Party ranks lower than any of the 23 other groups we asked about — lower than both Republicans and Democrats. It is even less popular than much maligned groups like “atheists” and “Muslims.” Interestingly, one group that approaches it in unpopularity is the Christian Right.

Alex Seitz-Wald at Think Progress, highlighting the above results, also notes that these unpopularity numbers for the Tea Party have skyrocketed over the past year or so.

Amerrykkkins love a good freak show, so I don't expect the media attention to the teabaggers to diminish much for the next year or so. In fact, they will probably egg them on with lots of opportunity to express their views.

Thank you Mr. Marshall McLuhan for predicting oh so accurately that "the media is the message." We have acheived a pure version of your prediction.
Fuck you Amerrykkka for tolerating it and sitting back in the 70s and 80s and letting it happen.

Bachmann: I'll bring back $2 gas
By: CNNMoney Staff Reporter Charles Riley
NEW YORK (CNNMoney) - President Michele Bachmann has a promise: $2 gas.
"Under President Bachmann you will see gasoline come down below $2 a gallon again," Bachmann told a crowd Tuesday in South Carolina. "That will happen."

Wow, 'Pie in the sky hopes!' Next we'll be getting a chicken in every pot.
What a total fucktard. Ya gotta wonder about those chosen few who actually gave a vote to this moron in Ames Iowa. Did she give them all blow jobs? How about those folks in Minnesota who keep voting for her.
Amazing.

Hitler Mustache Spray Painted On Mural Of Ronald Reagan
By Chris Cannon

COOKEVILLE, Tenn. - Overnight Sunday someone spray painted Hitler's infamous mustache onto the face of Ronald Reagan. The damaged mural covers a wall at the Putnam County Republican Party headquarters in downtown Cookeville.


I don't really like the desecration of private property by hooligans, but this I kinda gotta love. Every time I see that fake smile and think about the years of lies, bullshit and treason we had to endure under the Reagan regime I want to desecrate something.

Racist fuckwads

"It has been the most anti-business administration in my lifetime... and everything he has come up with centralizes more power in Washington, creates more socialist-style, collectivist policies. This president is doing something that's so far out of the realm of anything Republicans ever did wrong, it's hard to even imagine." - Sen. Jim DeMint (R-SC)

Hey you dumb fuck bozo. Where were you when MoronMonkeyBoy Bush the Chimp was ram rodding through the "patriot act." where were you when every dept in the fed gov't dealing with citizen security was bunched together under one roof and called "homeland security?"
Why don't you teabagging mother fuckers just shut the fuck up. You're lying fucking racist pricks and anyone with the slightest bit of sense knows it. Unfortunately you bottom feeding pieces of shit cater to those who don't have a lick of sense or a functioning brain. It's amazing, but I thought the David Dukes of the world were fading into oblivion, but here you are alive and well and spreading your racist hate everywhere you go and getting a national forum to do it within.
What a fucked up mess.

Incredible crazies!

Holy bat shit Robin! The GOP has done got themselves a bevy of certifiably insane bat shit crazy candidates. . .

Mitt Romney: This fucking whack job believes that if he wears special underwear that are built similar to my great grandfather's long johns, and if his wife wears similar attire at ALL TIMES, they will be ready get on aboard the love train to heaven when their lord and savior Jesussa come down to pluck them from the horrors of Earthly existence.

Michelle Bachman: This nut case from Minnesota by way of Iowa needs little introduction. She has been exhibiting how ignorant she is for the past couple years. Whether it's American history or constitutional law, this moron has displayed the intellect of a 3rd grader with almost every step she takes and every time she opens her mouth. Ad to that the fact that she's a born agin believer whose husband runs a mental health clinic that claims to be able to cure people of the sin of homosexuality. . .

Rick Perry: Wow, this newest entry into the mix just held a 30,000 strong prayer meeting. He's telling his fellow believers that if they pray real hard, he will be elected and will do god's will.

Sarah Palin: nuff said.

See, these mother fuckers are fucking nuts. They are just about as insane a gaggle of douche bags as has ever been involved in national politics.
I believe Obama could fuck up by the numbers for the next 15 months and still wipe the floor with any of these nut cases.

Corruption supreme!!

U.S. district attorney in charge of News Corp. probe is ‘best friends’ with Murdoch point-man leading internal investigation
By Joe Pompeo | The Cutline –
From the department of conflicts of interest: Viet Dinh, the attorney and News Corporation board member overseeing an internal investigation into illegal activities within the embattled company, is reportedly best friends with Preet Bharara, the attorney leading the U.S. investigation into the same matter.
Time's Massimo Calabresi has the scoop:
Dinh and Bharara met their first week of freshman year at Harvard when they landed in a seminar together. "The topic of the day was whether the framers of the Constitution conceived man as good or evil," Dinh told me in 2007 when I interviewed him for a profile of Bharara, who was then leading the Senate investigation into the firing of U.S. attorneys by Bush administration political figures. "We ended up debating and arguing through the night until we went to breakfast and argued some more and then went to lunch," Dinh said.
From there they became good friends. Bharara was best man at Dinh's wedding. Professionally, they went to opposite parties but have stayed close. "He's been my best friend through Whitewater and through impeachment and through the USA Patriot Act, and God knows what kind of hurt he took from his Democratic friends," Dinh said in my interview with him, praising Bharara even as he took the lead on the U.S. Attorneys investigation. "So I'm glad there's a little bit of payback time now," Dinh said.

Welcome to justice Amerrykkkin style 2011. This is so absurd compared to how one would like to think that things work in Amerrykkka. How in the fuck are we supposed to believe in our gov't with total shit piles like this occurring? How are we to have any faith in the justice system in this country when the US Attorney's office has got the back of NewsCorp during an insanely scandalous investigation?

"When in the Course of human events it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another and to assume among the powers of the earth, the separate and equal station to which the Laws of Nature and of Nature's God entitle them, a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the separation.
Thomas Jefferson
American Declaration of Independence

Is it time to dissolve the political bands between the people and gov't in this country?

Injustice in AmerryKKKa

If someone from the administration doesn't step in and stop this travesty of justice, I've had it with Obama. I'm tired of the half measures, the half hearted defense of civil rights, and the cowtowing to the teabaggers and radical republicans.
I'VE FUCKING HAD IT!

S.F. gay married couple loses immigration battle
Carolyn Lochhead, Chronicle Washington Bureau
Tuesday, August 9, 2011
Noah Berger / Special to The Chronicle

Washington --

Citing the Defense of Marriage Act, the Obama administration denied immigration benefits to a married gay couple from San Francisco and ordered the expulsion of a man who is the primary caregiver to his AIDS-afflicted spouse.

Bradford Wells, a U.S. citizen, and Anthony John Makk, a citizen of Australia, were married seven years ago in Massachusetts. They have lived together 19 years, mostly in an apartment in the Castro district. The U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services denied Makk's application to be considered for permanent residency as a spouse of an American citizen, citing the 1996 law that denies all federal benefits to same-sex couples.

Palin on downgrade: I knew this would happen
By Chris Moody | The Ticket –
Former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin, who plans to announce whether she will run for president sometime next month, said Monday night that she predicted the credit rating downgrade long ago.

BWAAAAAAAAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!! This fucking dim witted moron had never heard of a credit downgrade until it happened last week. As if some Jr. college graduate house wife with a questionable degree in communications or some such nonsense is out there predicting anything that takes the least bit of critical analysis. . . especially this dim witted moron. . . come on Amerrykkka, have we had enough of this douche bag yet?

This weeks it's "boy"

Buchanan: Didn't intend to slur Obama with quip
AP –
NEW YORK (AP) — Pat Buchanan says he didn't mean to slur President Barack Obama by referring to him as "your boy" during a discussion with Al Sharpton.
The former GOP presidential candidate and current MSNBC analyst appeared on "Morning Joe" Wednesday to explain remarks he made on that network's Sharpton show 12 hours earlier. Buchanan was discussing Obama's political strength with Sharpton when he referred to Obama as "your boy."
Sharpton responded: "My what? My president, Barack Obama? What did you say?"
Buchanan said Wednesday that he was using a boxing analogy. "Some folks took what I said as some kind of a slur," Buchanan said. "None was meant, none was intended, none was delivered."

Of course they always say "I didn't mean anything by it." And then there is the veiled insult of an apology "some people might take it wrong." And we all know who those "some people" might be.

I'm getting so fucking tired of the vile hate speech in this country. You go to a teabagger rally and they hold it up on signs. In the main steam, they're a little more subtle about it, but all too often, prick faced mother fuckers like Pat Buchanon slip up and throw in a zinger. Do they forget they're on? Do they not realize that this is going beyond their little circle of redneck racist scum sucking friends?

Look here Buchanan, you shit eating toxin spewing worm, you aint fucking stupid. you know gaddamn fucking well that calling a black man "boy" in any context is a bad idea, but you just had to throw in that little diminutive. You figured you might be able to get by with it didn't you? And if not, you could offer up a sleazy little fabrication of an expanation and get away with it.

Well congratulations you belly crawling piece of shit! The main stream media seems to be ignoring not only your vile comment but the even more vile comment of your fellow racist shit eater Rep. Doug Lamborn (R-Co) who called the President of the United States a "tar baby" last week.

Yes, it looks like racial slurs are going mainstream these day Amurkkka! Anybody can pretty much say anything and get away with it. Come on step up you right wing he-men! Who will be the first of you to just man up and call him "the N word?"
I can hear it now "Oh, I didn't mean anything by it, but I hear that some people might find my comment offensive. We use that term all the time where I'm from. In fact, theycall themselves that."

America, your president is being called vile obscene and racist names by other citizens who represent political parties and the press. Why is there not loud and profound righteous indignation in the press and in the streets? Where is the public outrage?

Oh America, where have you gone?

Is it just me. . .

. . . or are other people tired of looking at and hearing from this dumb backwoods turtle faced penis headed mother fucker?

Rep. Lamborn likens Obama to a "tar baby"
BY DAVID SIROTA

"Tar Baby" -- from time to time, this ugly racially charged phrase has come up in our political discourse. Most often, the term is applied to a situation or a thing. John McCain, for example, used it to describe divorces. Likewise, Mitt Romney used it to describe the Big Dig. In both instances, the Republican leaders apologized for using such a loaded word -- even though they hadn't used it to describe an actual person.

The same cannot be said for Representative Doug Lamborn (R-CO), who used the term to describe President Obama in a statewide radio interview on Friday. You can listen to that interview here, which we examined on my KKZN-AM760 radio show this morning. Here's the key excerpt:

LAMBORN: Even if some people say "well, the Republicans should have done this, or should have done that," they will hold the President responsible. Now, I don't even want to be associated with him, it's like touching a, a tar baby and you get it...you know you're stuck and you're part of the problem and you can't get away.

It has been questioned whether the term "tar baby" is always a racist term. In 2006, Ta-Nehisi Coates explored this issue in Time magazine. "Is tar baby a racist term?" he asked. "Like most elements of language, that depends on context. Calling the Big Dig a tar baby is a lot different than calling a person one." In this case, that context is quite clear.

This, of course, doesn't absolve McCain and Romney, who plead ignorance to the term's racial implications and then promptly apologized. But it is to say that in Lamborn's case, the ignorance plea would be absurd because he explicitly used the term to describe a black person.

Tellingly, this openly derogatory epithet comes from not just any old politician. Lamborn is a United States congressman from Colorado Springs -- one of the most conservative Tea-Party-loving districts in America. In the hard-core right-wing political circles he runs in, describing a black person as a "tar baby" is probably more than acceptable -- it may even be celebrated, especially when aimed at a political opponent like President Obama.

Holy fucking shit!? Is this dumb fuck moron for real or did some leftist propaganda machine make this shit up? What kind of human being would make such a statement in this day and age? On top of it, he writes a letter to the president that is so shallow and pseudo apologetic it's pitiful:

He said he “apologized for using a term some find insensitive,” Hey scumbag! Most find it horrendous. Almost all would find it offensive except for a tiny percentage of extreme backwoods teabagging butt fucking assholes like you.

Then he said that he meant to use the term to indicate a "Quagmire" and he was sorry he didn't use the term "quagmire" instead. Listen up you inbred dickwad, you used the term "tar baby." You called the President of the United States of america, who is a black man a "tar baby." You referred to not wanting to touch the President of the United States, who is a black man, because it would be like touching a "tar baby." You are vile racist piece of shit. Nothing more and nothing less.

This isn't like bubba down the road saying something ignorant and stupid like "that tar baby in Warshinton." This is a member of the United States House of Representatives making public commentary. This is the voice of someone whose constituency judges and guages as a norm. This is the voice of someone who has influence over people, places and things in this country on a broad scale. This is a voice that needs to be censured in the United States House of Representatives. Otherwise, the entire body will be judged by his comments.

Myriad can patent breast cancer genes: US court
By Kerry Sheridan | AFP – Fri, Jul 29, 2011

A federal appeals court ruled in favor of Myriad Genetics after a legal battle over whether the US company could keep its patent on genes linked to an inherited form of breast cancer.

Great, that means my patent on lions will soon go through. When it is granted, I'm going to get the patent on tigers and bears.


Iraq says to buy 36 F-16 fighters from U.S
BAGHDAD (Reuters) - Iraqi Prime Minister Nuri al-Maliki said on Saturday his government would buy 36 F-16 fighters from the United States, doubling the number it had initially planned to purchase to strengthen its weak air defenses.

Those are 36 F-16s that will be shooting down American or allied jets sometime in the next 5 yrs.

F-16 damaged during landing at Oshkosh air show

Congress closing in on a deal to avert US default
By JIM ABRAMS - Associated Press | AP –Thu, Jul 28, 2011

WASHINGTON (AP) — The U.S. Senate plunged on Sunday into what many lawmakers and the White House — and millions of Americans coast to coast — hoped would be an all-but-decisive last-minute effort to raise the nation's debt ceiling and defuse a crisis that still could lead to an unprecedented government default.

OK, is everybody's political ass covered yet? Fuck the common good of the nation. piss on middle America; we gotta git elected next year!
We REALLY need to get these rich, insecure, egotists out of Washington.


Smart Girls Back Bachmann
By Eleanor Clift | The Daily Beast –

Billing it as the first ever women’s presidential straw poll, nearly 300 conservative women activists cast their ballots in Louisville this weekend at the third annual “Smart Girl Summit” to give their favorite presidential candidates a boost.
Michele Bachmann came in first—no shock there—but it wasn’t the complete blowout many expected from an audience of conservative women. Entrepreneur and inspirational speaker Herman Cain finished a close second, underscoring that the women are looking for conservative grassroots leadership regardless of gender.

"Smart Girl Summit" Ya know, if you're calling yourself "Smart" you probably aint. Bachman followed closely by Hermain Cain?! Are you fucking kidding me? A clueless ignoramus followed by an "inspirational speaker." Yea, I'm buyin "smart."


It's a deal: Obama, Congress will avert default

By DAVID ESPO - AP Special Correspondent | AP –
WASHINGTON (AP) — Ending a perilous stalemate, President Barack Obama and congressional leaders announced a historic agreement Sunday night on emergency legislation to avert the nation's first-ever financial default.
The dramatic resolution lifted a cloud that had threatened the still-fragile economic recovery at home — and it instantly powered a rise in financial markets overseas.

Wow, what a big surprise. Think about it, why didn't they do this three weeks ago or a month ago? Have they kept the proles scared? Have the proles been blaming those that they wish to be blamed?

And look how happy these low life pricks are after damn near bringing the country to it's knees. . . lessee, Mitch McConnell. Wasn't he a Bush henchman? Why is he still in office? He helped put us where we are today!
The proles got exactly what they deserved this week. Piss poor government, but WTF, great TV drama. And isn't that what we really want?!

Dumb fuck politicians in Washington. . .

. . . who will not face the simplicity of the problem this country faces for purely political reasons really piss me off!

One more time because you fuckwads are obviously not paying attention to me. . .

Here is the solution to the national debt:

1. Get our stupid imperialist capitalist oil guzzling asses OUT of Iraq.
2. Get our stupid vengeful, world policing clueless asses OUT of Afghanistan.
3. Take away all tax breaks from corporations, the uber rich and hike up the taxes on the uber rich.


Why is it that the best solution they can come up with is cutting social programs and raising the debt limit?!?!?!?!?!

I'm ready to just not vote anymore because no matter who we vote for, the corporate interests are the #1 priority.

"Meet the new boss, same as the old boss."

Question: What percentage of the money in this country belongs to those who make over 250k per year? What ever it is, THAT is the amount they should be paying as a group in taxes.

Ex: If they hold 37% of the wealth, then 37% of the federal income should come from them.

Fat ass Americans and the solution. . .

I'm glad you asked, because I've got a solution to that problem that I've contemplated, blogged and posted on numerous times.
Let's provide universal health insurance.
Once done, it's not an invasion of privacy for a certified provider to weigh you.
If they find you are obese, they put you on a program to lose weight. We're not talking boot camp here, but just good sense.
You will be provided with all the help you could possibly need from mental health counseling to shopping advise. The program will even go so far as to go shopping with you and go into your home and help you cook healthy. You will be required to log all caloric input to your body. That will be easy also as it will be done by computer that will automatically download to a central system and to your provider.

This will all be gradual, but with goals in mind.
If after a certain length of time you have made no progress toward getting your health under control, you will be unplugged from the system and only provided with emergency health care which will consist of little more than "comfort measures only."

With this program, we not only lead the person to water, but we provide extreme measures that encourage, help and motivate them to drink.

Same type of program applies for tobacco, alcohol and drug addicts.

People can eat good tasty food. People can eat luxurious food. People just need to learn how.

If I've left anything out that might be required for such a program or overlooked some major or minor flaw, I would love to hear about it.
I don't see how this could be considered unconstitutional. Healthcare is not a constitutional right.

Fucktard, fuckhead politicians overseeing matters of great national concern

Obama, Republicans trade demands for debt plan
By Andy Sullivan and Laura MacInnis | Reuters – 53 mins ago
WASHINGTON (Reuters) - President Barack Obama and Republicans traded demands for a serious deficit plan on Friday, underscoring the lack of progress and acrimony plaguing negotiations to avert a looming government default.
Obama used a White House news conference to keep the pressure on leaders of Congress to produce a framework for a deficit-reduction plan that will head off a default on August 2.

Nobody,NO FUCKING BODY is saying it. There is a simple solution to our federal deficit. Three easy and simple things need to be done and none of these jackwad motherfuckers from the president down to that little slime ball Eric Cantor is approaching the reality of it.
1. Get our stupid imperialist capitalist oil guzzling asses OUT of Iraq.
2. Get our stupid vengeful, world policing clueless asses OUT of Afghanistan.
3. Take away all tax breaks from corporations, the uber rich and hike up the taxes on the uber rich.

Fuck you politically retarded motherfuckers who are afraid of offending your rich benefactors. Pretty soon it isn't going to matter because the American public is getting close to the end of their rope.
The majority of Americans blame the current state of the nation on the Bush Regime. That means they blame it on the rich corporate entities and their republican dick licking lap dogs. Listen up Mr. President, the ignorant masses who follow along with the republican corporate agenda guzzle their lies like $5 blow job crack whores ARE NOT the ones who elected you. If you keep pandering to these shit balls who are in it for nothing but the corporate interests who pay them, you will be deserted. There will always be the Ralph Naders of the world willing to take away just enough of your support to turn it all over to the corporate scum suckers. The rich and ruthless are always willing to fund some prick to throw an election for a couple hundred million. Doesn't take much more than that when you've got a name like Ralph Nader.

You wanna play politics? Here's your political clue for the day: you are NOT a shoe-in for '12.

You either put a plan on the table that includes down sizing our military involvement to a huge degree and taxing the rich at level where they are contributing fairly or there will be a major defection.

The answer to our problems are not cutting social security and other social programs for the poor, sick, elderly and unfortunate of this country while giving the fucking rich mother fuckers tax breaks! COME ON!

This is getting ridiculous and the American people are getting serious about it.

Environmentalists, tuna fishers battle at sea

ABOARD THE STEVE IRWIN – Tuna fishermen battled environmentalists on the Mediterranean, hurling heavy links of chain at them as the environmentalists attempted to disrupt illegal tuna fishing under the no-fly zone north of Libya on Saturday.
. . .The stock of bluefin tuna, which spawn in the Mediterranean and then swim out to the North Atlantic, has been depleted to the point that some experts fear it will soon collapse.

Tracy Morgan apologizes for anti-gay comedy rant
– Sat Jun 11, 6:15 am ET
NEW YORK – Tracy Morgan said Friday that he was sorry for telling an audience in Nashville, Tenn., that if his son were gay, he would "pull out a knife and stab" him.
The comedian and "30 Rock" actor apologized to his fans and the gay and lesbian community for what he called "my choice of words"

STFU you asshole. "choice of words?" You expressed an idea and action clearly. It wasn't about your "choice of words." You're a homophobic ass wipe. Now you've got to get out there, reform your ways and do something that vindicates your homophobic bullshit. You might want to get together with Michael Vick to find out how that's done.

ROLLING MEADOWS, Ill. – Robert Adams craved an ice-cold drink after finishing his shift on a sweltering workday, . . .
"I wanted to get a large horchata, which is almost like a rice or coconut milk," Adams told the Daily Herald (Arlington Heights) for a story published Wednesday. "I would have grabbed a chorizo burrito, too, but I didn't have enough money.". . .
Adams said he never had the urge to keep any of the money.
"It's not my money. I shouldn't take it. I don't care if you put another zero on there, I wasn't raised to take money that isn't mine,"

See, there are good honest people in this world who deserve a big pat on the back. . . and a large cold horchata w/ a chorizo burrito. Man, that would be awesome right now! Haven't had a good horchata in years. I'd love to buy this guy lunch.

Congressman Ass Hat

OK, so Congressman AssHat Weiner (is it pronounced Whiner or Weener?), has come clean. What a fucking moron.

Do I care that he was having sexual relationships across cyberspace with a number different women? Not in the least. Really, who gives a fuck wht you do for sex kicks?

I care that like some kind of 8 yr. old elementary school kid (which he sorta looks like) he made up some ridiculously incredible story about how someone hacked his account and fucked him up. Ok, I'll give him some credit. . . I remember making up a story like that when I was in Jr. Hi. to avoid having my old man knock the snot out of me (yea, that's part of my problem). So this Jt. Hi. ass hat leads the Amurkkkin public on a wild goose chase complete with Keystone Cops and boogey men when the whole thing was a fabrication.

The question we the people and especially his constituency has to ask is "how tolerant of deceitful, lying mother fuckers should the Amurikkkin voters be? I say not at all. Get rid of this dumb fuck douche bag. Not because he had him some cyber sex, but because he acted like a juvenile little douche bag when he got caught.

I mean come on, how many of you ignorant proles really thought that this guy had been hacked and evil cyber criminals had planted absurd photoshopped pictures of him?

A nice little press conference where he could have sheepishly admitted his transgressions, apologized for any embarrassment he caused anyone and then slinked away for a two week vacation to the Bahamas to lick his wounds and his wife would have settled the matter. . . but not Congressman Ass Hat. He figured he could make up an absurd story and the Amurkkkin public would swallow it like they do campaign promise lies. See, that's how spoiled little rich kids act. They think they can get away with anything by lying. No wonder we have the political system we have.

BYE BYE DOUCH BAG!!

Everything Said About Anthony Weiner Is Bull
Posted: 06/ 7/11 09:41 AM ET

There's only one legitimate reason to be upset with Anthony Weiner, and that's because his behavior and its discovery has taken away a bold and effective voice in the Democratic party. Everything else you think and feel about him is bullshit.

By bullshit, I mean it has nothing to do with him, and also little to do with broad generalizations made nowadays about the sex and powerful men. The first is too personal and private for anyone to ever know. And the second is so abstract as to be useless in understanding any individual situation. What it does have to do with is you and me, with all of us, who are repeatedly enticed to either buy-in to or create fictive stories about sexual scandals that are little more than projections of our own forbidden or feared desires.

Who is this fuck wad telling me what is bullshit and what is legitimate when it comes to public opinion? I'd like to think that HuffPost is above such demigod like proclamations, but I guess not. Fuck this liar defending asshole. These uber left wing granola chewing elitist morons are just as useless as the Glenn Beck and Rash Limpbough sucking proles.

One more incredible republican candidate

From HuffPost:

Former U.S. Senator Rick Santorum declared his candidacy for president of the United States on Monday, vowing he's "in it to win it."

Santorum, a favorite among his party's social conservatives, chose to confirm his plans during an appearance Monday morning on ABC's "Good Morning America" at the banner-draped site he chose in the western Pennsylvania coalfields for his formal announcement.

In the network interview, Santorum accused President Barack Obama of having a weak foreign policy, saying he doesn't feel he has stood up sufficiently to Iran and asserting he has done too little to speak out against Syrian President Bashir Assad for the violence there.

Is it possible that the repubs are not going to be able to come up with a single viable candidate?

Another dumb fuck republican candidate in trouble. . .

Newt Gingerich is in trouble for having taken an interest free load from Tiffany Jewelers.
I call bullshit on this one. Go to any store these days and buy a big ticket item. Almost anyone with good credit can get interest free for 12 months. . . . furniture, carpeting, jewelry, you name it. Retailer do this on a regular basis whether the economy is good or not. They definitely give the rich and famous big interest breaks. Normal business practice. This is a total non issue.

Look, Salamander Newt is a buffoon. He's going to do just fine on his own at sabotaging any attempt at running for president. We don't need to focus on bullshit trivia items like this. Let him talk, he'll do fine himself.

Let's give all medicare dollars to private corporations!

Senate votes down controversial House budget

By ANDREW TAYLOR, Associated Press – 2 hrs 30 mins ago
WASHINGTON – Joined by several moderate Republicans, Democrats controlling the Senate rejected a controversial House budget plan for turning Medicare into a voucher-like program for future beneficiaries.
Five Republicans joined every Democrat in the 57-40 vote killing the measure, which calls for transforming Medicare into a program in which future beneficiaries — people now 54 years old and younger — would be given a subsidy to purchase health insurance rather than have the government directly pay hospital and doctor bills.

So what would this bill have really done? It would have given all medicare money to private corporations. Those who bought their insurance with these "Vouchers" would have received the lowest level of care available. Those with the vouchers and another $2k to spend per month on healthcare would receive the finest treatment in all the land. This would have created a two teared healthcare system in America with separate hospitals and other facilities for the two classes and even different doctors. DOs and MDs from local less accredited med schools would work in one level of facilities and MDs from the finer schools would work in the higher level healthcare facilities. The entire complex would be run by corporations whose sole purpose would be to make as much profit as possible. IF that thought doesn't terrify you, then you are not thinking.
When is America going to get tired of these corporate whores taking shots at the very fabric of our society? When are we going to get tired of all our resources going into the pockets of the corporate elite uber rich?

Whacked out candidate and political movements. . .

Americans love to flirt with whacko candidates and political movements. People like George Wallace, Ross Perot and Sarah Palin sometimes actually draw some votes and attention. The "know nothing party," The "bull moose party" and here lately the "tea party (baggers)" sometimes field candidates and win some support. But sooner or later the outlandish appeal wears thin and American voters return to the middle of the road and once again begin voting for steady, reasonable candidate.
Today we have an interesting and perhaps unique condition. One of the major parties has gone almost totally over to the side of a fringe group that probably wouldn't have gotten more than a mention had it not been for their extreme hatred, vile rhetoric and obvious racist agenda. It seems like every republican from the hill on down has embraced the outlandish of the TeaBaggers and now that the fires have cooled and the American public is done playing stupid extreme politics what are they to do? Well, I suspect they will have to look in the only place where calm and moderation has been consistently a part of the agenda. They are going to be voting for democratic candidates. Yes, even the republican moderates which has traditionally made up the majority of that party will be voting democrat in the next few election cycles. Until the republicans get their act together and purge themselves of the extremists and fundamentalists that have taken over the party, the democrats will again assume total power in Washington and elsewhere.

Democrat wins special election for NY House seat

AP – Democratic candidate for the 26th District Congressional seat, Kathy Hochul arrives at a campaign stop …

By BETH FOUHY and CAROLYN THOMPSON, Associated Press – 1 hr 31 mins ago
BUFFALO, N.Y. – Democrats picked off a heavily Republican upstate New York congressional seat Tuesday in a special election that became a referendum on Medicare and may have blunted further GOP efforts to cut popular entitlement programs as a way to close the federal deficit.
Erie County Clerk Kathy Hochul defeated Republican state Assemblywoman Jane Corwin, capturing 47 percent of the vote to 43 percent for Corwin, to win the seat in the 26th Congressional District. A wealthy tea party candidate, Jack Davis, took 9 percent.

Congratulation U.S. Rep. Hochul on an astounding victory in one of the most conservative republican districts in the NE. Now go to congress and tell the corpo-fascist republicans that we won't put up with their agenda of taking away the benefits of the poor, working and middle classes while supporting tax breaks for the rich and mega corporations. Big oil can go to fucking hell. We want parity in taxation. The voters of upstate NY have spoken. Who's next?
You can lead the charge Rep Hochul.

Another silly GOPoop Candidate

Potential GOP candidate affirms Mormon heritage

SALT LAKE CITY – Former Utah Gov. Jon Huntsman says he is Mormon, and he doesn't think his religion will be an issue if he decides to run for president.
"I believe in God. I'm a good Christian. I'm very proud of my Mormon heritage. I am Mormon," Huntsman told ABC's "Good Morning America" on Friday.
"Today there are 13 million Mormons. It's a very diverse and heterogeneous cross-section of people. And you're going to find a lot of different attitudes and a lot of different opinions in that 13 million," he added.

Mormons "diverse and heterogeneous?!" "alot of different attitudes and opinions?!"

Who is this clown trying to fool. Oh yea, the Amurikkkin proles. I suppose they might belief this pile of horse shit. Fact is, mormons, while being some of the most pleasant people I've ever worked with, are also some of the most conservative and homogeneous thinking group of people I've ever encountered. Find me ONE liberal mormon. Find me one mormon who is a member of the church that doesn't wear magic underwear. . . yea, under all those $5000 suits and fancy clothes, Baseball Mitt Romney and probably this guy are wearing their cotton longjohns so that when Jesus comes to take them away they'll be appropriately attired. Why the hell doesn't someone in the press ask these guys that question. "Yo, Baseball Mitt, you wearin your elder approved cotton longjohns under all that?" "Uh Mr. Huntsman, are you properly attired for your departure from Earth if Jesus walks into the room five minutes from now?" Just answer "yes" or "no" so that we know just how whacked out you really are.

Don't get me wrong. I've never met a mormon I didn't like. Every single mormon I've ever met has been kind, courteous, attentive to other people in the room, etc. Everything you'd like to see in a fellow human being. They beat me all to hell with their social skills. But really, do we want someone who is a member of a cult that believes in all sorts of weird religious mythology and practices running our country?

Those silly republicans. . .

Donald Trump - This guy is a side show clown. The right wing American public was drawn in like the suckers they are. They love a good side show, especially when it's so ridiculous that everybody else walks away knowing it's a scam. . . but not the teabagger types or the media that doesn't care if it's real or not. Of course he bowed out. He's not stupid, just a fucking clown.

Huckaby - I don't even know this preacher's first name, nor do I care. He's a typical southern fundamentalist moron snake oil salesman. How in the hell in this day and age can someone with a scintilla of intellect believe that the world was created as per the Bible, that there is a sky pixie keeping score on everyone, etc., etc. Again, I think the guy was told he didn't have a chance with the general electorate who are pretty dumb, but overall, not that dumb.

Mitt Romney - WTF kind of name is Mitt, you're named after a baseball glove? And WTF kind of religion is Mormonism? Religion is freaky enough, but those mormons done got themselves some super freak shit going on. Magic underwear, very strange marriage and social customs and beliefs. . . do we really want someone who believes in this kind of whacked out shit to be running the nation of the United States of America?

Newt Gingerich - You're named after a salamander? I thought we figured out a decade or so ago that Newt was a slimy little belly crawling turd that had come out from under a rock and we sent him back? This was the guy who was incapable of controlling his own party as speaker of the house back during the Clinton years and he wants us to let him be president? Remember, he left the house in disgrace and scandal. Clinton, who he rallied against and led the impeachment of, left the presidency with the highest popularity ratings of any modern president. HA! Good luck "Newt." I hope you get the nomination. That way President Obama won't have to work so hard at campaigning and can continue to lead this nation with dignity and the common good in mind.

Ron Paul - LMAO. What more can you say. This guy reminds me of Lyndon LaRouche. LL was a perennial presidential candidate for some wing nut party back in the 60 and 70s. His brash statements and radical right wing views were entertaining, but never taken too serious.

Palin - LMFAO. Too easy.

Bachman - Why does the GOPoop come up with such ridiculous women. My take on women is that they are generally smarter than men, are more intellectual than men and have a better ability to see the 'big picture' than men. So why are the republican women that they parade out exactly the opposite of that? Are they trying to persuade us of some point in their agenda?
Bachman and Palin both have shown that they are ignorant of current issues and the kinds of general civic and historical knowledge that I would expect the average college freshman to know. There are so many brilliant female leaders out there today, why do THEY rise to the top of the republican cess pool?

Santorum - en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Santorum_(sexual_neologism)

So who will the GOPoop put up to run against Obama? Will they even take it seriously? Remember, very often the opposing party just throws someone out there as a sacrificial lamb when they see no chance of winning; remember Dukakis, Dole and McCain. Maybe they will pull some really good candidate out of their ass sometime in the next few months. Or maybe, these guys are so fucked up they're beginning to make speaker of the house John Boner look good to the GOPoop power brokers. It should be an amusing time for those of us who have quit taking all this shit seriously and are simply amused by it.

My racist and appallingly insensitive government.

Who's the fucking genius who came up with this bullshit! And what the fuck is wrong with PResident Obama for letting the operation proceed with such an insensitive, culturally insulting and downright racist code name for a commonly hated terrorist fugitive. Geronimo was a victim of terrorism inflicted on him and his people. Geronimo was one of the greatest anti terrorist warriors in history. He protected and fought for his people against a terrorist power for many years.
It is absolutely incomprehensible that the United States government, the perpetrator of the terror that he fought would turn around and label the worse terrorist of modern times after Geronimo. The government, the president and all involved who used or supported the use of this term should apologize immediately and with the greatest amount of humility they are capable of, but being insensitive, arrogant, dick headed politicians and generals, I doubt humility is even a possibility.
I try and be cool and not get upset. I try and understand that everyone is trying to do their best, but FUCK! Sometimes I just want to SLAP THE SHIT OUTTA SOMEBODY!
Disgusting.



Indians say code name offensive but not surprising

By SUSAN MONTOYA BRYAN, Associated Press –
Geronimo was known as a legendary Apache warrior whose ability to walk without leaving footprints allowed him to evade thousands of Mexican and U.S. soldiers, much like Osama bin Laden evaded capture for the past decade.
But for Native Americans, there's an important difference: Geronimo was a hero — not a terrorist.
So to them, the U.S. military's use of the revered leader's moniker as a code name for bin Laden was appalling — a slap in the face that prompted statements of disapproval from tribal leaders, a flurry of angry comments on social network sites and a letter from the leader of Geronimo's tribe asking President Barack Obama to apologize.

When disaster strikes in America. . .

it brings out the scum and the low lifes.

Compare it to how the citizens of Japan reacted to their disaster that was actually much worse. . .

Looters, flimflam men plague tornado-torn South

By CHRIS HAWLEY and JOHN CHRISTOFFERSEN, Associated Press – 6 mins ago
APISON, Tenn. – The crooks walked up to Kenneth Carter's tornado-damaged property with the purposeful air of relief workers in need of an all-terrain vehicle like the one he had parked out back.
"They said, `Excuse us, we've got to get this four-wheeler out of here,'" said the 74-year-old Apison resident. "I said, `I don't think so — that four-wheeler belongs to me!"
Carter avoided becoming a victim, but authorities say the South has been plagued by a variety of swindles since the twister outbreak last week that ripped apart houses and killed 329 people in seven states. Looters have carried off televisions, power tools and prescription pills. Elsewhere, unscrupulous businesses are charging double for a tank of gas or jacking up the cost of a hotel room. Authorities also warn of construction workers who leave with the cash before opening their tool kit and the danger that identities could be stolen off wind-blown documents.

So sad the society we live in.

We can do ANYTHING!

"Today we are reminded that as a nation there is nothing we can't do,"
President Obama 5-2-11

Yes we can! It might take a decade to track down one man and kill him and we may have to employ all the most modern military technology to do it, but sure, we can do anything. . . . lessee, I remember when "as a nation there is nothing we can't do," meant sending a man to the surface of the Moon and returning him safely in less than 10 yrs while developing the technology to do it. Now it means tracking down one cave dwelling terrorist and killing him in less than 10 yrs.
Oh how I mourn for my country's lost excellence.

Ding dong the witch is dead!

OK, so bin Laden is dead. Killed by American troops in Pakistan. Can we go home now?
I really dread the next two weeks of news. It will be endless analysis and hashing and rehashing of every aspect of the past 9 yrs and Amurykkka's quest for bin Laden blood. Then there will be the political morons who will pin the tail on Obama and those who will seek to rip it off leaving as much blood and exposed flesh as possible. Oh yea, it's going to be a three ring circus.
Now, if I can maintain a recreational attitude. . . it WILL be funny to wath and listen to the teabaggers twist this against the president. It WILL be funny to watch the president crow like a big ol cock about how he got bin Laden. . . with the implication that MoronMonkeyBoy bush the Chimp didn't. It will be entertaining to see the right wing republicans mourn what the polls will do in the next couple days. It will be entertaining. . . and there's no place like home, there's no place like home, . . .the re ' s n o pl a c e l i k . . .

Dorothy! Wake up!!

Trump: Obama wasn't qualified for Ivy League

By BETH FOUHY, Associated Press – Mon Apr 25, 10:00 pm ET
NEW YORK – Real estate mogul Donald Trump suggested in an interview Monday that President Barack Obama had been a poor student who did not deserve to be admitted to the Ivy League universities he attended. Trump, who is mulling a bid for the Republican presidential nomination, offered no proof for his claim but said he would continue to press the matter as he has the legitimacy of the president's birth certificate.

I always knew Trump was a whack job, but an outright racist? I'm a little surprised. Here he is playing precisely into the minds of the extreme right racist/white supremist faction of the republican party. This is just so blatant and so wrong it's phenomenal. Donald Trump; you are done.

Trump the Court Jester or Sideshow Donald

So what is the deal with this guy's hair?



Is he bald and does some kinda strange comb over? It looks ridiculous. Is it that nobody has the balls to tell this megalomaniac that his hair looks absurd? I don't get it.



Near as I can tell he has a crazy fucking comb over. It must require constant attention as he jets all over the country delivering his even more absurd rhetoric on President Obama's legitimacy.

I wonder, does he travel with a stylist who pays close and constant attention to his convoluted coif? Obviously, something that fucked up is impossible to keep under control 24/7 so we at least get to be amused by his foolish follicular freak show.

Hasn't anyone done a photoshop job on this guy to show what he'd look like without the comb over? I'll bet he looks even dumber than he does with the dippy doo.
