"Two Pickets to Tittsburgh"


Wooo-Hooo!!




In the immortal words of the Gun's n' Roses song:


"You're crazy, hey, hey

You know you're crazy, oh my!

You're fuckin' crazy, oh child

You know you're crazy

Ay,ay,ay,ay,ay,ay,ah,ah,ah,ah, yeah!"

Gov. Sebelius for HHS?


http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2009/02/07/kathleen-sebelius-near-to_n_164954.html Ooooh! Ooooh! Ooooh! I got to meet the Gov. at a campaign rally in Hobbs, NM, October last, while on a "Road Trip for Change" from Houston registering voters for Barack. Met some of the coolest people I have ever had the pleasure of associating with, and was thrilled to have my photo taken with Gov. Sebelius after her speech for a rally in Hobbs. She is super smart, confident and compassion covers her entire demeanor. She could have bolted immediately after the rally, but she stayed behind talking with all of the volunteers and attendees, taking questions, posing for photos, etc. for at least a half hour. She is so cool, and would be a great HHS Sec. Barack could do a lot worse than her.

Long Distance Dedication




Gotta Dance With Them That Brung You


Once again, the Repukes have shown who has them by the twig and berries. http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2009/02/06/gop-opposes-pay-limits-on_n_164544.html A bunch of real progressives, this crowd. If you were wondering why all this money was handed out to the bankers, no strings attached, one needs only look at the following: http://www.followthemoney.org/database/IndustryTotals.phtml?f=0&s=0&g%5B%5D=6 Since the year 2000, the "financial industry" has given 1 billion, one hundred eighty-five million dollars in campaign contributions to elected officials. That is $1,185,000,000.00, the majority to the Repukes, at least until it became clear they would be voted out, then they started giving more to Dems, although the majority of the cash still went to the Repukes. Talk about "pay to play".

How hilarious if the "free market" they so actively promoted ended up killing them off. I'd like to see them ask for a bail out from Barney Frank and BHO. I hope these pathetic excuses for "journalists" go down hard.

Capitalism at It's Finest


What higher power gives individuals, acting as corporations, the right to exploit the natural resources of the country, namely coal, fuel oil, natural gas etc., all power sources that belong to all the citizens of this country, and "sell" them back to the citizens at outrageous prices for the enrichment of the few? http://www.cnn.com/2009/US/02/04/freezing.death.folo/index.html I have come to view capitalism in a continuing dimmer light as time goes on. Electrical power should be free, as should water. Also, the handing over of tax money for free to a handful of bankers that have fucked things up beyond recognition, so they can turn around and lend the same money back to the aforementioned taxpayers at usurious interest rates rightly, I feel, makes me question the core wisdom of the system, and those who have set up the laws, and continue to enforce these laws. To say nothing of the way we treat our veterans. Killed by the utility company for owing $1,000.00. This happens hundreds of times a year in the summer here in the south, the lack of AC being the instrument of utility company murder. Heat stroke.

Super Bowl, Super Drunk


This is great! I am going to start using that excuse whenever anything goes wrong for me. "Why were you speeding, sir?" "Because, fuck you." Why didn't you make your sales plan this month, Steve?" "Because, fuck you." It's awesome.





St. Pete Beach police say Omar Chehab, 44, was yelling obscenities and prank calling 911 from a pay phone near 600 Corey Ave. last night about 10:30 p.m.
Dispatchers told police that he sounded intoxicated. Officers approached him, and his response was "Fuck you. No, I don't need you," they reported in an arrest affidavit. When they asked why he called 911, he gave this reason: "Because, fuck you."
