Bye Bye Democracy

January 22, 2010

Thanks to a judgment earlier today by some activist right wing judges on the Supreme Court, no more limits on corporate spending in political campaigns.  If any elected official refuses to do what corporate America commands them to do, the Silk Suit Mafia can spend as much money as they like running asinine propaganda smears.  If you don’t currently think that you’re voting for either Corporate Stooge #1 or Corporate Stooge #2, wait till the immediate future get’s here.  Let me link here to my independent thinking Democratic Congresswoman Louise Slaughter for her comments.

America has been slowly transforming from a democracy to a plutocracy for many years. This will either be a wake up call or the last step for Greed Inc.’s complete takeover of our country.  In Michael Moore’s latest movie, he shows the leaked Citigroup file on the importance of turning America into a “Plutonomy.”  That pesky one vote per person thing was the big road block.  This is starting to feel like a Frank Capra movie, but with a tragic ending.

International Lunatics?

Do they have crazy, hated filled loonies like Pat Robertson in other countries? Does France have a guy this like this ranting nightly on their cable systems? Germany? Poland? Denmark, New Zealand, etc.? Just wondering.


Anything For Ratings

January 16, 2010

Rush Limbaugh shamelessly politicized the Haiti catastrophe.  Now the equally odious Glenn Beck has joined in. These people are truly disgusting.  Anything, no matter how tragic, to mock Obama and keep their ratings up – and the obscene profits they yield.

But what’s really creeping me out since this happened is that millions of their followers apparently aren’t bothered by this.  You’d think only sociopatchs would relish this hateful drivel and yet so many of them walk among us.

Disturbing.


Pat Robertson, Rush Limbaugh, Haiti

January 15, 2010

Pat pointed out that the Dominican Republic(on the other side of the island) is very prosperous.  If you call being the prostitution capitol of the Americas(that includes child prostitution) being “prosperous,” well, um, ok, the D.R. is prosperous.  But Pat, doesn’t God frown on stuff like that?  Why are they safe and happy and Haiti is cursed.

Ironically, the Dominican Republic is where Rush Limbaugh(yesterday’s other vile bigmouth on the Haiti catastrophe) was coming from a few years ago when he was busted at Miami Airport for possession of Viagra(a violation of his drug scandal settlement thingy).  He was accompanied by male buddies — hmmm, a stag-cation – in the prostitution capitol of the Americas.  I’m just sayin’.

Disgusting

Pat “I’m rich from blood diamonds” Robertson today said the Haiti’s earthquake tragedy is a result of a pact Haitians made with the devil to free themselves of rule by Napoleon.  This 18th century voodoo rally he referred to(Bois Caiman) may have never even happened.  Can’t this horse’s ass ask his followers to pray for the victims & give them financial support?

For more on “blood diamonds” read this: http://www.sullivan-county.com/news/pat_quotes/diamonds.html – now does your local clergy person do things like this? In a totally honest world, Pat would legally change his name to “Elmer Gantry”

Burt Lancaster as Elmer Gantry

Pat Robertson as Himself


Silk Suit Mafia

January 12, 2010

The Financial Crisis Inquiry Commission begins hearings this week.  Let’s hope they can uncover something – at least a little schadenfreude would be nice at the expense of these greedmeisters who can’t fail. But — ever get the feeling we’re being swept away by a sunami of human greed, like perhaps after a few million years of humans behaving badly, it’s all been leading up what we’ve got going on right now?  I’m just wondering.

Introspection

I’ve noticed I don’t like winning candidates that I supported quite so much after they take office.


Just Wondering

January 4, 2010

It’s January – radio stations have(finally and mercifully) stopped playing Christmas music and the diet and health club ads are on TV en masse.   The Valentine’s Day displays are going up in the stores.  Just wondering, did Valerie Bertinelli put on all that weight on purpose(and then lose it) just to revive her career as Jenny Craig spokeswomen?

GOP Game Plan: Deficit Cutting Crucial(except when they’re in power)

December 30, 2009

Minnesota Governor and 2012 Presidential hopeful Tim Pawlenty says federal spending under the Obama adminstration is like a Ponzi scheme, in the Bernie Madoff tradition:   COMPLETE STORY

Hey Tim, care to listen to actual undeniable facts about government deficits under more recent GOP administrations  and then respond with some DIRECT answers to those undeniable facts?  No, I didn’t think so.  One more thing Tim – if running for president doesn’t work out, maybe you can become one of the Jaywalking All Stars on Jay Leno.   Obviously you’re very factually challenged.

One other thing Tim.  Republican Senator Orin Hatch has come out and all but admitted GOP deficits were standard practice .
