Well…as you know, I very seldom talk about religion unless is it being used as a bludgeon to impose religious views on people who are non believers…but, something the Pope did last week disappointed the hell out of me…he made the point to meet with the homophobic country clerk from Kentucky who refused to do her job and issue same sex marriage licences to gay couples….what does the Pope not understand about discrimination and the separation of church and state here in the US? It is not ‘religious freedom” to deny other people their rights just because you don’t like the idea that gays can get married…and by meeting with her, the Pope gave sanction to this unlawful behavior…it was a terrible mis-judgement on his part, to elevate a hater to the status that she gets a private meeting with the Pope…she who is on her 4th marriage…it just shows how we need to end the hegemony of religion in this country an put it back in the churches where it belongs….geez…

Bye, Bye, Boehner…
Well…it was a little bit of a surprise to hear that ole John Boehner has decided to resign from congress at the end of October and I’m not sure if I should be happy or what…after all, he is going to go down in history as the worst house speaker in history but I think his biggest failing was emboldening the crazy, right wing vandal caucus to try to blow up the government. Especially when he scheduled 50 votes to repeal Obamacare to try to mollify them when he knew it had no chance to ever become law….and that it would just make the righties even more delusional, allowing them to control the House when there is only about 40 of them. What he should have done is schedule one vote, then work with the dems to get things done…just ignoring the bomb throwers. But no, he wanted to continue to be speaker and put his own personal status before that of the US so he allowed them to control him and at the same time, ensure that nothing would get done. I kind of think it may be like watching a train wreck for the next month…that you just can’t look away even though people are going to be maimed…bye, bye, John…
They are ALL stupid…
Well…if you have been listening to any or all of the repub candidates spout over the past couple of months, there is only one conclusion that you can draw…that they are all stupid. The latest from one of the front runners, Ben Carson, show his ignorance of the law and the constitution in all it’s glory…first, last week, this idiot comes out and says that he could never support a Muslim for president saying that Islam allows them to lie to get elected…well, Ben, if that is a disqualifier, then all of the repubs now running are disqualified. But, the latest one that this idiot came out with today was that just being Muslim should be probable cause for their houses to be searched and their phones tapped. This idiot appears to not know that there is a fourth amendment to the Constitution that prevents these things and was one of the main reasons that the Revolutionary war was fought….but, when scary Muslims are involved, they don’t deserve the same rights as the rest of us American citizens….I knew about this stuff in the 6th grade…this surely should disqualify this idiot from anything but retirement…and I just wish he’d go there…I know the repubs are proud of their ignorance on many subjects but a campaign whose entire reason for being is to promote ignorance and hate is just too much…geez…
Jeb truly is the stupid one..
Well..just wanted to do a short one on another idiotic thing that JEB! said in a speech a few days back…the gist of it was the same thing that ole MItt said during his campaign…that the only reason that minorities vote for dems is that they will get “free stuff” from them and won’t have to work for anything…and ole JEB! went on to lecture that they should vote for repubs since they will put policies into place that will let minorities “earn” their way to a better life…right there I started laughing so hard my eyes were watering..this lecture coming from someone who has never “earned” anything in his life that wasn’t given to him by the Bush family connections….has never had to worry where the next meal is coming from or where to get the money to pay for the doctor…and this idiot thinks he can lecture anyone on earning anything? Again…I have had enough of these rich pricks telling working people what their failings are and why they aren’t rich like them…JEB!, you would be an Arby’s manager if it wasn’t for your family…just STFU…geez…
Carly Fiorina lies just like the rest of them…
Well…the lies just keep on coming from the right these days about Planned Parenthood but this last bunch by Carly Fiorina is just too much…during the debate last week…ole Carly went on and on about the video she said she saw that showed a live baby being dissected for organs at Planned Parenthood…even though this video DOES NOT exist and never did…but the media gave up their responsibility of challenging her on these lies and she continues to spout them…but now, it has gotten even worse with her campaign faking a video that supposedly supports what she said in the debate….and, again the media has given here a pass on this lie when it would be pretty easy to just look for the time stamp on the video which would expose this lie…but none of them will do a damn thing….but, that doesn’t make this any less of a lie and this should disqualify the idiot Carly from ever holding any office…this, along with the lies about her “success” at HP should have gotten her laughed right off the stage…but here we have this idiot rising in the polls as she lies, lies, and lies….I guess that’s what the repub base likes…liars and the lies they tell….she will NEVER be elected in the general…just go home, Carly…only the most rabid of your base wants to hear a word you have to say…geez…
Capitalism and healthcare don’t mix well…
Well…with all of the press being given to healthcare these days, one little known capitalistic tactic has been flying under the radar…until now. With many illnesses, there are old drugs that work perfectly fine and, with the few cases there are, there is no incentive for any drug company to develop new drugs or for companies to develop generic analogs for those drugs. But, that’s not good enough for the Wall street boys that make their living screwing people and stealing everything they can…the new trend is for the hedge fund boys to find a company that has one of these old drugs and is the only company making it…they then buy the company or the rights to the drug….and increase the price astronomical amounts…the latest example being the drug Deraprim, a 62 year old drug used to treat AIDS patients. The ghoul behind this crap is a jerk called Martin Shkreli who just happens to be a former hedge fund manager and what he did is just the worst of capitalism…he took the price of this drug which once cost a dollar a pill to $750 dollars a pill putting the treatment out of reach of many patients and lining his pockets while people die…justifying his actions saying the increase is necessary to fund “research”…that will never happen. In fact, in a previous company where he did the same thing to pediatric kidney patients, he is now being sued for 65 million dollars…this guys is no humanitarian…and this crap should be stopped now before more people die just to make him richer…how does he live with himself? Pretty easily, I’d guess…these folks don’t give a damn about anyone but themselves….geez…
Goodbye and good riddance Scotty…
Well…just had this bit of wonderful news come over my Twitter feed…ole Scott Walker is dropping out of the race for the repubs…yep, I’ll bet that bit of news put a smile on your face, too…that this smarmy little cretin even was considered a front runner a few months back made my skin crawl as his only claim to fame was the destruction of Wisconsin’s economy while his cronies stole everything that was not nailed down. Now that the Koch’s have lost their golden boy, what o what are they going to do now? Who are they going to get to try to outlaw unions, to hate on women, and to continue to lower their taxes? I would have really liked to see this idiot go up against either Hillary or Bernie in a debate…since he has shown throughout his creepy career that he can’t think on his feet, either one of the dems or even Joe Biden would have demolished him. Goodbye and good riddance Scotty…don’t let the door hit you in the ass on the way out…
Jade Helm is over…
Well…not sure if you remember this one or not but I find it funny enough to write about it again….there was a huge military exercise in Texas and other southwest states this summer…just like they have held it for years and years, but this year the crazies on the right went nuts with their conspiracy theories saying that it was going to be a takeover of Texas by the federal government. Not only a takeover, but there were secret tunnels under abandoned Walmarts and FEMA camps where “true patriots” were going to be rounded up and then their guns were going to be taken away…and something, something….you get my drift. The funny thing here is no matter how ridiculous this all sounds, almost half of all repubs believed this crap…now, how frickin delusional do you have to be to believe this nonsense? Now, they no longer have to be scared…Jade Helm ended last week and, as far as I can see, Texas is still there, no one has been rounded up and the tunnels under the Walmarts are still empty….I wonder what the next big conspiracy is going to be for these folks? What must it be like to live in that kind of a fevered brain? Something I never want to know…geez…
JEB! really is the more stupid one….
Well…just had to make one more comment on the debate last night when ole JEB! praised his idiot younger brother with the lie “he kept us safe”….and I just couldn’t believe the rest of the idiots on stage just let that one go…yeah, JEB! he kept us safe except for the 2,790 people that were killed in the Trade Center and the other 300 Americans that were killed by terrorists during the rest of his terms…and even dumber than that statement is the new tweet that JEB! sent out this morning showing the idiot younger brother standing in the rubble of the WTC with a little JEB! logo in the corner…rubble that included the remains of the dead from those attacks which he disrespected by using the rubble pile for a photo op….I am beginning to wonder if JEB! really has anything between his ears but air….stupid, stupid, JEB!
The debates…
Well….that was a wasted 4 1/2 hours…just had to start with that and get it over with…I did watch both debates and I am still not over it…it still pollutes me like the slime from “Ghostbusters” and no amount of showering will wash it off. I am glad I chose to have cocktails since I have never seen such a moronic, stupid group of candidates in my life who only parroted the talking points that we have all heard way too many times…Obama bad, tax cuts good, Planned Parenthood are baby murderers, and that war, war, war is the bestest thing that the US can do…this along with the fact that none of them seem to understand how the government works, bitching about how the current repub controlled congress has not been able to get rid of Obamacare or enact any of the right wing nonsense that they have proposed…conveniently forgetting that even if they got this crap passed, it would be met with a certain veto by Obama. But the biggest and stupidist comments were reserved for the supreme court and again showed that these folks have no idea how the government works…calling the upholding of Obamacare and the gay marriage decisions “Illegal” decisions that could be ignored by anyone who wanted to. Geez….I want that 4 1/2 hours back…and I want these idiots to just go away…one good thing that came out of it was that whoever the dem candidate is going to be will mop the floor with any of these idiots…can’t wait to see that…
