Deserving of Wider Circulation

I may be the last person this side of Io and Ganymede to find this wonderful site, They Gave Us A Republic, and this post in particular which I feel is important enough to cut ‘n paste in its entirety: How do you fight a conspiracy to destroy Social Security and with it the American [...]

Does John Boehner Hate America?

One good thing about human beings in general and Americans in particular is that in an emergency, they respond.  They help.  They work to solve the problem.  And if you remember back to the days immediately following the collapse of the twin towers there were thousands of first responders, construction workers and others trying to [...]

Dirty Money

Here is a depiction of where the man that represents the part of the country where I live, the Ohio 8th CD, gets some of his money. Bet ya can’t guess.

A Very Classy Guy

That ‘guy’ would be my Rep in Congress from the OH 8th CD.  As Wonkette puts it Human phallus John Boehner’s million-plus siblings may be unemployed, or not. He doesn’t know! All he knows is that he has “empathy” for them, which we all know means “fuck y’all,” in Latino. For a good laugh, be [...]

Send John Boehner Home

So the good (?) minority leader was expounding to the  press yesterday on how he would create new jobs if he were the Majority leader in the next Congress. He would repeal a program that largely hasn’t yet taken effect; prevent new legislation that is also not in effect; and keep a current tax structure [...]

Where Are The Adults ?

The latest manufactured controversy, after the ACORN and Van Jones thing, demonstrates a fundamental weakness of Obama and the folks that he has hired.  It would appear that Obama wishes to make the controversy go away as quickly as possible as opposed to working for justice for those that might be, and in this case [...]

Connecting The Dots

If one wants to see a protest, or at any rate me protest, then they need to start screwing around w/ Social Security. We have a budget deficit.  We collect barely enough tax money to pay for Social Security, Medicare and Medicaid.  I use the first two of those three. The U.S. Dept of Defense [...]

This Really Should Not Be News

RawStory has this piece about an upcoming WaPo 3-parter.  This surely should not be a big surprise.  And it should not be any surprise to those that pay attention. DoD has always had a Defense Intelligence Agency (DIA), but it was relatively small until SecDef Cheney came along.  It positively exploded in size when Rumsfeld [...]

Are You Ready For Some History ?

Organizations An organization is founded or begun, by people.  Microsoft, the computer software giant, was started by two people, Bill Gates and Paul Allen.  Although extremely successful, Microsoft is barely thirty years old, so will only be used here as an example of how an organization can start Another example, of many possible, is Ford [...]

SunTan Johnnie Boehner

He has plans for how to govern (Oh, Gawd, I hope he never) if he becomes the Speaker of the House.  From WaPo: Sometime after Labor Day, House Minority Leader John A. Boehner plans to unveil a blueprint of what Republicans will do if they take back control of the chamber. He promises it will [...]
