I would laugh if it wasn't so close to the truth....

It just doesn't get any better than this....

You really couldn't make this stuff up. Idiocracy doesn't hold a candle to real life!

You have got to be shitting me

This video, made by a fellow named Jed, from The Jed Report, I don't have time...none of us have time now, this has to be spread NOW.



Oh my fucking god...I posted this half way through viewing it, I thought it was that relavent, but now ...after watching it all, well shit, it's, I, um, I don't even know what to say..I'm overwhelmed.

Please, we cannot let this happen, we cannot let four more years of this kind of mendacity, PUMA people, wake up! What the fuck, this guy is evil.

What little (and it was small) respect I had for this man a decade (or more, who's counting?) ago has now been OBLITERATED, he has no shame, he has no platform, he has nothing... he has NOTHING.

I am at a loss for words at this point.

Understatement of the century

From Department of Homeland Security Undersecretary Jay Cohen

"There’s no idea so asinine that this administration won’t give it serious consideration"

Or even just go ahead and do.
Hat tip to Sadly, No! for the quote, check out the site if you haven't, it's always good for a laugh (while weeping on the inside of course).

So stick your head between your legs and kiss your ass goodbye

Holy crap, the gang who couldn't shoot straight are actually planning to shoot down a stray spy satelite from an Aegis missile destroyer. Am I the only one who is a little leary of King Shit Midas tackling this particular issue? Duck and cover my friends, this is going to get worse before it gets better.


And while we're on the subject, doesn't this smack of a P.R. stunt? It's the kind of militaristic showmanship that the Bush crowd loves, puff out your chest, shout "Hoo-Wah!" and blow that satelite outta the sky! Talk about over compensating, sheesh! I'm just very concerned that like usual, these guys are going to cause more harm than good, children his age should not be allowed to play with these toys.

Update: Oh good, apparently we're just rattling our sabres at a tiny little country, that's no threat to us whatsoever....like, for example CHINA!!!!! When oh when will these jackasses be out of office!!!! Yesterday is to late if you ask me!!!

Update II: Well let's look on the bright side, this little expedition is only going to cost SIXTY MILLION DOLLARS!!!!!!! How on earth can these people refer to themselves as conservative, and/or fiscally responsible. That's outrageous!!

Update III: You know, I normally think thing like Aegis missile systems, and exploding satelites falls smack dab in the middle of awesome. Why does everything this administration touches turn shitty? I swear to god if they fuck with my precious giant robots, I will kill myself (I am a huge fan of giant robots, BushCo. would probably make the lamest giant robot in the history of anything).

Did Mitt dodge a bullet, or was he told about the gun?

I have seen this written elsewhere, and the more I think about it, the more it makes a sort of sense. The Democrats will win the presidency, of that I am sure, are the republicans banking on this? Is this a Bob Dole situation where they are throwing what they believe to be an undesirable a bone, not letting said undesirable know that an even bigger dog is going to chew up both said bone and undesirable (of course biding their time for future battles)? I believe that this IS the case, Mitt was made aware of the dynamics and bowed out to fight agian in 2012, they have picked thier champion.

How Mitt became the standard bearer of the right I will never know, but it does seem he is on the inside track on this one.

It seems to me that on these larger issues it becomes more and more difficult to hide your hand, watch the news and pay heed to the propoganda, it's telling.

Update: Another argument that I think bolsters my original point, the fix is in.

So here is why they are sabotaging McCain- they want him to lose, or at the very least are hedging their bets. They want and need to paint him as not conservative, not pure enough to really represent the wildly successful (in their minds) conservatism that makes up the Bush dead-enders. That way, when they are blown out of the water in 2008, they don’t have to do any reflection, they don’t have to assess, re-prioritize, or re-think their policies. They can simply pin it all on McCain, claim he lost because he didn’t offer the voters a “real” conservative alternative, and get back to championing the end of the “death tax” and other important issues without skipping a beat.

In other words, McCain is the fall guy, and they are just distancing themselves from him.

Mitt Romney is out!

Good news from the campiagn trail, as Massachusetts own sleazy, citizen hating flip flopper has dropped out (nay, suspended) his run for the republican ticket to the white house. Anyone who has lived in Mass knows that America has just dodged a bullet. This guy was a slimey snake oil salesman, who used our state as a stepping stone for his own ambitions, and then turned around on the national stage and bashed on us relentlessly, for the crime of being liberal. Jackass. I am proud of this states liberal stance on gay marriage, and a woman's right to choose, I would like to see us be even more liberal on these issues truth be told, but I am proud of the steps my state has taken, and the leadership we have shown other states. Go back to Michigan, or Utah, or France Mittens, your kind are not needed around here, I'm just baffled he was our govenor in the first place.

Oh, and it seems Blogger's spellcheck isn't working....so pardon any misspelling for the time being, I am normally an excellent speller, but a terrible typist, it's my cross to bear *sniff*

An old fashioned land grab

Just read this over at Crooks and Liars in reference to New Orleans.

On the 12th day before Christmas, the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) is planning to unleash teams of bulldozers to demolish thousands of low-income apartments in New Orleans. Despite Katrina causing the worst affordable housing crisis since the Civil War, HUD is spending $762 million in taxpayer funds to tear down over 4600 public housing subsidized apartments and replace them with 744 similarly subsidized units–an 82% reduction. HUD is in charge and a one person HUD employee makes all the local housing authority decisions. HUD took over the local housing authority years ago–all decisions are made in Washington DC. HUD plans to build an additional 1000 market rate and tax credit units–which will still result in a net loss of 2700 apartments to New Orleans–the remaining new apartments will cost an average cost of over $400,000 each!

Affordable housing is at a critical point along the Gulf Coast. Over 50,000 families still living in tiny FEMA trailers are being systematically forced out. Over 90,000 homeowners in Louisiana are still waiting to receive federal recovery funds from the Road Home. In New Orleans, hundreds of the estimated 12,000 homeless have taken up residence in small tents across the street from City Hall and under the I-10.

I had suspected from week one of the Katrina debacle that this was going to be a white man's land grab, and this evidence is the clincher. We NEED to get a Democrat in office, stat, in enough time to turn this shitshow around.

This had me a giggling

The always irreverant Jesus' General has some great campaign posters up for the Gulianni camp!
Check them out!

...Then I have a bridge to sell you

From the "if you hadn't realized this yet" department comes news that the Bush administration was using warantless wiretapping PRIOR to the 9/11 attacks.

I am not convinced that the current administration has no intentions NOT to attempt a hostile takeover of our government providing they lose the next elections, and I think findings like this bolster my fears, 9/11 has nothing to do with there power grab, it's just a convenient truth.

Do what you can strip these people of power. One thing that heartens me is the military brass that have retired that are speaking out against these assholes. I feel as though the Cheney crowd has assumed that the military was in there pocket, and would blindly follow their lead. It's good to see that's not the case.

It's America's Dream Ticket

Showing the nation that he can 'get her done', Fred Thompson makes and early announcement for his running mate. A nation breathes a heavy sigh of relief...we're gonna be OK.

You keep using that word. I do not think it means what you think it means

I think we need to change the word conservetive to consumptive. I have no idea what they are conserving anymore. It's not money, it's not land, it's not oil, or other natural resources, they just consume at a rate that would make a colony of army ants jealous.
