So, I’m being told that Rick Perry is done

At least that’s the line that all my wonky Republican associates are feeding me.  He’s toast.  Texas Toast, the joke is going.  He’s simply not electable.  No way, no how.  On board the Romney train! Well, I’d rather pee rusty razor blades than vote for Romney in the primaries.  To me, it’s McCain all over [...] → Continue Reading So, I’m being told that Rick Perry is done

The exaggerated excuse of Republican obstructionism

It’s not really a myth, so exaggerated excuse seems about right. The Republicans are certainly trying to obstruct large portions of the President’s agenda, and they have been since he took office.  But, I mean, they’re the opposition party.  What do you expect? Although there’s a lot of grumbling about both parties being the same, [...] → Continue Reading The exaggerated excuse of Republican obstructionism

Y’know, I just can’t figure why the economy is in the toilet….

I’m sure it has something to do with those evil companies hoarding all of their money. The CEO’s won’t make any jobs for the regular people because they’re too busy rolling million dollar bills into cigars and smoking them. Or… What might surprise Americans, however, is how the President is setting up the U.S. economy [...] → Continue Reading Y’know, I just can’t figure why the economy is in the toilet….

Hold on. Wait. You thought that was your money?

You’ve got another thing coming. Congresswoman Jan Schakowsky has her eye on your paycheck, and she means to let you know it, too. During an interview on The Don Wade and Roma show on Chicago’s WLS radio, Schakowsky made it clear how she feels about you keeping the money you’ve worked hard for. “I’ll put [...] → Continue Reading Hold on. Wait. You thought that was your money?

Riots in the US: Coming soon to a corner near you?

There are a number of articles attempting to place the ongoing British rioting into proper context being written now.  Mostly the context of oppressed people rising up against their oppressors–namely, the taxpayers who no longer have the cash to fund their welfare ride any longer. Nina Power in the Guardian, pushes that point of view. [...] → Continue Reading Riots in the US: Coming soon to a corner near you?

London burns, and proves how useful the nanny state really is

The London riots continue.  Lots of flames and throwing things and crazy videos. In many areas, the police are completely overwhelmed, and are being pushed back routinely by aggressive rioters. Some of the highlights? Copycat riots in Birmingham, Bristol, Nottingham, Liverpool and Leeds. Birmingham Children’s Hospital staff forced to barricade themselves in last night as [...] → Continue Reading London burns, and proves how useful the nanny state really is

Cool Dudes: Why CWM Deniers aren’t

A CWM is, for those of you who don’t know, one of the vilest, evilest, most selfish and greedy things on the planet. A Conservative White Male.  Responsible for all the ills of the world, and as this article in Psychology Today points out, so pathologically stunted as to not even realize the harm it perpetrates [...] → Continue Reading Cool Dudes: Why CWM Deniers aren’t

Stock up on canned foods… Borrowing now 100% of GDP

Oh yeah, nothing to see here. It’s all good.  So long as we’ve raised the debt ceiling, everything is all right with the world. Right? US debt shot up $238 billion to reach 100 percent of gross domestic project after the government’s debt ceiling was lifted, Treasury figures showed Wednesday. The new borrowing took total [...] → Continue Reading Stock up on canned foods… Borrowing now 100% of GDP

Oh, about your speech, Mr. President. Some quick questions…

You said this during your address to the nation this evening: Congress now has one week left to act, and there are still paths forward.  The Senate has introduced a plan to avoid default, which makes a down payment on deficit reduction and ensures that we don’t have to go through this again in six [...] → Continue Reading Oh, about your speech, Mr. President. Some quick questions…
