can’t tell the bottle from the mountaintop...

so unemployment is rising...hitting a two year high and not showing much signs of slowing down. bush is proposing giving more money back to the rich to combat it. hmmm...anyone else notice that the "growth" that occured from bush's tax cuts was front loaded? funny, the tax "cuts" were also front loaded with benefit to those not being filthy rich (remember those $300 checks you got?)...and now that the true cuts are going into effect, here comes a recession. but hey, some fuckhead took a class in economics that said friedman is always right...so the answer is to give more money away to the rich.

there was a time when civilians were deliberately targeted in an effort to change the political will of certain societies. it was called terror-bombing. it got curtis lemay promoted through the united states air force. I'm just saying...maybe we should be careful about moral absolutes, because if they are absolutes, then we are responsible for fucking them up too...

obama won fairly handedly in iowa. the dynasty took third. perhaps the democratic party is waking up...despite everything the democratic party does to quash it.

pet food that kills kittens led to a $3,000,000 payout. food that is known to kill humans is marketed towards children and the poor...and we rant about our "lawsuit happy" society. discuss...

mike huckabee will not be liked by the people that matter in the republican party, and they will not allow him to win the nomination.

and yes, I am saying the christian right doesn't matter in the republican party. they are pawns...but they've begun to figure this out.

not that it matters to the people that matter in the republican party. they already got what they want and in such a manner that going backwards will be next to impossible. besides...by the time the whole system falls apart they'll be too rich to give a fuck...or dead.

amy fisher has a sex tape...and two kids. how the fuck do you explain to your kids that you are amy fisher? in a sex tape?

headline after the mitchell report was released (referencing roger clemens) - "he took it in the butt"...that's just quality journalism...

the states are overstepping their limits according to the bush administration (those stalwarts of state's rights). this time they are trying to expand health care to cover families that can't afford it otherwise. I gotta say, I'm with the boy king on this one...I mean, for fuck's sake, if you can't afford medicine for your kid and food on the table and a roof over their head you obviously aren't working hard enough. quit your bitching and get a fourth job...what's that? hiring is drastically slowing now that the boy king's tax cuts are coming into their own? well then that it just more incentive for you to become a billionaire. try five jobs you lazy fuck. I bet you're an immigrant.

seriously...how many times do they have to fuck up the economy before "economists" start to wonder if maybe they are wrong? I'm just saying, if they were a football coach they'd be fired mid-season.

but then as long as they keep us caring more about the superbowl than super tuesday...they win.

the National Academy of Sciences wrote a book (again) about how teaching creationism (whatever wonderful name you want to call it) in a science class is completely boneheaded. only this time they tried to explain it to joe fuckhead that just doesn't get that science and religion don't mix. science can't explain religion. religion can't explain science. science doesn't try to explain, verify, or debunk religion. science doesn't give two shits about religion. and if your religion gives two shits about science...you just may want to question your love of your possessions.

the boy king wants us to pat him on the back because 50,000 more folks are getting aids medication thanks to his efforts. something tells me 50,000 is a pretty pathetic increase and that much more was possible. here's betting 50,000 would be paltry to the number that could be getting help if it weren't for his bullshit right-wing strings attached.

the cia is a disaster to constitutional democracy and must be disbanded. somehow, I find it hard to believe that the founding generation would be anything but horrified at the executive having what amounts to a private army, unaccountable to the people, with a black budget. but then I only studied early american history...I haven't listened to rush lately.

here's hoping for serious change...because I haven't been polishing up my foreign languages...

please forgive me if I act a little strange...
