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
Chicago Tribune - Jul 29

An F-16 fighter jet was damaged when it overshot a runway at an air show in Oshkosh, Wis.


It was an Air Force jet. I'm not sayin Air Force guys aint good, but geez, how much runway do ya need? I mean, would a Navy pilot (think carrier landing) have done that?


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.
