They Are Not Even Trying To Hide It Anymore

Here is Fox Nation's picture and caption about President Obama's birthday party yesterday.

You guys left out "where da white women at?"

Amateurs.

One Of The Reasons I Admire Bill Maher

This is something he says time and again and I can find no evidence to the contrary (and I am paraphrasing here):


"...politicians say 'the American people are smarter than that', They're not; they're morons."

Now That Congress Has Laid That Turd Of Legislation On Us...

They are off on vacation for a month.

Good!

They can do no more harm if they are not in Washington, right?

Wrong! They can go on cable news and yammer on about what the 'merican people want. Which is not what we want.

You know what we really want? Economic security. Not tax cuts for rich people, not wars, not more corporate welfare. We want to be able to know that the job we have today will be there tomorrow. And if that job were to go away we want to know that another one will be out there if we want it.

While We Await Finacial Armagedon...

I can't take much more of the bullshit coming from Washington and our overlords in the Media. So enjoy this fantastic song from Jesse Winchester. Watch Neco's reaction to Jesse's performance.

It's Friday Bitches!

Congratulations, you've almost made it through the week.

Here's some Kings of Leon for you.



You know you deserve it.

The Tea Party's Messiah

Ayn Rand:


Read this account of the Teatard's darling.

She was Allen Greenspan's influences if that tells you anything about his reign of the Federal Reserve.

The Republican Caucus

Gibberish All The Way!

Well, Hello...

...haven't seen you for a while.

I want to say that I have been busy and I have. But the truth is blogging is hard and I'm not that committed to it. I poke my head in here every now and then to see if anyone is looking. And they are not.

Summer's here. That means yard work and fixing things that I have put off because I hate working in the cold.

I was running 3 miles a day but I had an injury to my ankle. I have taken up the bicycle again. I'm riding 8 miles a day now.

As far as politics go : Republicans are still assholes and Democrats are pussies. Some things never change.

How Can I Miss You When You Won't Go Away

I am against torture. I believe it is counter-productive.
That being said could we at least waterboard this guy?

I Can't Help Myself

Did You Know There's A Ni... In The Whitehouse?

Here is a very good post by Dennis G over at Balloon-Juice.

Trump really does think that he is the "Great White Hope":

"Trump has added a new unofficial “Primary” on the road to the Republican Presidential Nomination: The “Who can save us from that uppity nigger” primary."

Devastation

Alabama took the brunt of the massive storm system that began in Arkansas, swept through Mississippi and then into their state. I'm not a prayerful person but my thoughts are with all who were affected by the storms.

You Can't Win

The President released the birth certificate today. Of course the first thing you hear from Republicans is why didn't he release it sooner.You can't win with fuckers who will not listen to reason or acknowledge facts.

Just look at the folks the Republicans have lined up to run against Obama. Republicans should just save their money for 2016 and run Alan Keyes. In other words, just sit this one out.

Phoebe Snow

RIP Phoebe. I don't know anyone who did not have a copy of this album. Such a lovely singing voice.

S&P Can Suck It

Did they not disgrace themselves over the financial crisis of 2008?

Why the media giving them a pass?

Our Local Tea Party Is Up To No Good

Really, Tea Party?

What's Islam got to do with Taxed Enough Already? From what I read in this article no one in this group has done anything to deserve a protest. It looks to me that the Tea Party ought to be celebrating this group of Muslims for doing good things for the community.

UPDATE: It seems the Tea Party has better things to do with their time.

The Dumbing Down of America

I had a co-worker stop by my office this morning to discuss the tsunami that ,at the time, was coming from the Japan earthquake heading for the U.S.

She asked me if I thought it would affect the Gulf of Mexico. I could only sit there slack-jawed. I could not believe that someone would think that there was a straight shot from the Pacific Ocean to the gulf. I explained to her that there is a land mass called Mexico and Central America between the two bodies of water. "Oh," she said and walked away.

The mind reels.

Fat Tuesday

I have to post this from Greg here. I can't add a thing.

Greg Dworkin (that's me):

"These aren’t hearings on homegrown or domestic terrorism (Oklahoma City and Atlanta Olympic bombings and cold-blooded murder of Dr. George Tiller all had nothing to do with Muslims.) They are singling out one group for scapegoating. Peter King’s fear and bigotry hearings raise the question “on how many simultaneous fronts is the GOP willing to look extreme?” Let’s see, there’s the budget in DC, immigration in AZ, union-busting in WI, Boehner defending anti-gay bigotry in the defense of DOMA, repeal of the only true health reform in a generation, birtherism by Presidential candidates Gingrich and Huckabee, social issue legislation in lieu of jobs legislation... wow, are Republicans really that tone-deaf? Are they really willing to alienate anyone who’s not a rich conservative white guy with a job? Apparently by their actions, yes, they are. My guess is that King’s hearings are just a little more than the market can bear. But who knows, really? It’s the GOP, after all. See Terri Schiavo hearings, 2005."

I Just Don't Have Anything To Say

My blogging has been non-existent because, well, I don't know. I get worked up over things I see on my TeeVee and read in my newspaper and the interweb but can't seem to be able to put anything down here at this site.

There is so much bullshit being passed around for "intelligent" commentary. Since their big wins in last November's elections the GOP has gone completely off the rails. They ran on the promise of job creation, but since then they have gone after women's reproductive rights, deficit reduction and labor unions. None of this will create a job for anyone except the lobbyists and propagansists that feed the GOP's message machine.
