Bank Usury: Bernie Nails it Down

March 27, 2009

What a great article by Indie Senator Bernie Sanders of Vermont in yesterday’s Common Dreams.   His articles always hit the hammer on the nail.   A couple highlights: If you’ve ever wondered why your bank/credit card company is located in Delware or South Dakota: States used to protect consumers from predatory lenders, but strong state usury [...]

Meet the New Nut, Same as the Old Nut

March 24, 2009

Looks like far right wing congresswoman Michelle Bachman is now officially “Bob Dornan, the Next Generation.” Different part of the country, different gender and appearance, same crackpot, attention-lusting mentality.  Michelle grabbed headlines back in the fall election by calling for the media to investigate members of congress, including then Senator Barack Obama, for anti-american bias.  [...]

Some recent entries I’ve made on my Twitter page,  http://twitter.com/chuckmccoy: Hallucinating on illegal and dangerous drugs, as ordered to by a man on a flaming pie. Going to mope around the house and cultivate more bitter thoughts on all who have wronged me in the past. Going out to rob a bank, sell some crack [...]

Random Bullet Points

Dick Cheney’s attacks on the Obama Administration is unprecedented.  The truth continues to trickle out on Dick the Torture Enthusiast, perhaps he’s getting defensive. Our Bill of Rights are still intact somewhat.  If we had no liberties in America, would Dick Cheney have been as evil as Hitler and Stalin(to name but a few)? 24 [...]

Norris, Texas Nutjob

March 14, 2009

Chuck Norris wants to run for President of Texas, even though Texas is still a state.  But if Texas does become an independent nation(as he advocates) then he’s throwing his hat in the ring.   If one Chuck can do it, so can another Chuck… I, Chuck McCoy, am a candidate for President of Rochester.  I [...]

Hey Bernie – Enjoying Your Chipped Beef on Toast Dinner? — and Other Random Thoughts

March 14, 2009

There’s cautious optimism that the so-called 2nd Gilded Age is finally coming to an end.  Greed is not good and what’s good for the greediest amongst us is extremely bad for the rest of us.  Two events this week:  Bernie Madoff said goodbye to his 7 million dollar Town House and hello to a 7/12 [...]

And a Bloated Bloviator Shall Lead Them

March 7, 2009

Things in Republican bizarro world are nuttier than ever.  Rush Limbaugh, an unelected radio loudmouth, has so much sway that republican leaders must beg for his forgiveness if anything they might happen to say about him gets taken the wrong way.     The Democrats are promoting him as the de facto leader of the republicans.   Now [...]

Add South Carolina Senator Jim DeMint to the list of celebrity wingnut ankle biters who can’t accept that the majority voted for change in November.  This weekend, anyone who’s anyone spoke at the 2009 CPAC convention.   DeMint and other conservative republican big shots used the popular “S” word to describe Obama the Anti-Christ.   We’ve come [...]
