Well…I laughed a little this morning…okay, I laughed a lot at the news this morning that the national repub party has pulled their money for ads supporting the walking dead repub senate candidate Terri Land….with the polls showing her from 10-12 points behind Gary Peters, I guess they have seen the writing on the wall and one of the brain cells they have left have realized here candidacy is dead, dead, dead. I guess it will be left to the Kochs to try to buy the seat and keep pissing the money away…can’t happen to nicer guys….and the one other good thing is that the money that would have had to be spent to help Peters can now go to going after the idiot Snyder…I’d like to see them ask him one question: “Where are the jobs?” When your state is 36 out of 50 in job creation, ole Snyder has to be held accountable….geez…

Michigan political update…
Well….have been looking at some of the good news here in Michigan on the political front, and thought I’d so a short update on what’s going on. First, though, today is the last day to register to vote to be eligible for November’s election so get out and register if you haven’t already…and then vote…because if we vote, we win…it’s as simple as that especially here in Michigan where Obama carried the state by 10 points. The update has a little good news in it and a little not so good news….first, the good news. It looks like Gary Peters is going to defeat the invisible Terri Land if the polls hold that are showing him up by 8-10 points…it should be more given that she hasn’t talked to anyone during the entire campaign…depending on Koch money to air 6 million dollars of ads that are mostly blatant lies or fabrications hoping that people are too stupid to see the truth….it looks like the Kochs are becoming toxic to the people they are trying to install in their government. The bit of bad news is that Mark Schauer is trailing ole Snyder in the governor’s race and I just don’t know why….are people losing their memories? Don’t they remember that Snyder and his cronies are responsible for the biggest tax increase on seniors in the states history? And, that they gave that money away with no strings attached to the supposed “job creators” who have not created one job but have raised CEO’s salaries by 50%…wouldn’t the workers here like that kind of sweet deal? Don’t count on it….Snyder doesn’t give a damn about workers…and you can see that from his approval of right to work which is just code for killing unions and the middle class jobs they provide. So, good news and bad that can be turned into good if we just vote…that’s all….geez…
Politics and other stuff…
Well….just reading about some of the polls here in Michigan that now put ole Snyder ahead by a couple of points and the first question that comes to my mind is why? This is the guy who said, when he was running last time, that he didn’t want any new abortion restrictions to come to his desk…what happened when they did? Of course like any repub liar, he signed them and made them law. When asked about right to work that is decimating the middle class here, he said the same thing…he didn’t want to see it cross his desk. What did he do when it did? Of course, he signed it just like all the rest of the repub liars….when asked about the auto bailout he went along with the rest of the repubs and said “let the free market work” even though doing that would have killed the auto industry here in Michigan…and what is he doing now? Touting all of the auto jobs that have come to the state, taking credit for them when it was none of his doing…just like the rest of the repub liars…so, tell me folks…the voters who have seen this lying and mendacity, why are you going to vote for this liar? I am pointing this at you Dems…get off you asses and vote this idiot out of office before the giveaways to business takes your job…geez…
It’s up to us…
Well….with the election coming up, I am going to keep hammering on the point that we outnumber the crazy asses on the right and it is up to us whether or not we want to win these elections…whether or not we want idiots like Snyder to continue to take away worker’s rights and give your tax dollars away to corporations while they treat women like second class citizens. It’s up to us who controls the senate and whether or not Obama is impeached…all we have to do is vote…take a couple of hours of your time on election day to deny the Koch’s from using their inherited wealth to buy our country and impose their crazy assed right wing views on the rest of the country…and, it is up to you whether or not the religious crazies can force you to adhere to their religion in the name of “freedom”…just vote…it’s not complicated, just vote…that’s all…
The crazy is really deep on the right these days…
Well…have been trying to get back into politics with election season coming up but it has been harder to do than I thought it would be…to get ready for it, I have been reading some of the statements and comments that come from right wing websites and it is breathtaking how deep the crazy runs on the right these days…first there is a senate candidate from one of the midwestern states…Kansas or Wyoming…somewhere who made the statement in a town hall the other day that she truly believes that the UN is going to implement something called Agenda 21 here in the US that would force everyone to move to cities and have their land taken away from them…one thing I should note is that this woman, I think here name is Ernst, has also stated that she owes her entire career to the Koch’s…and you know what that means…more pet coke piles around the US poisoning the air and water….where the hell do the repubs come up with these people? Is delusion now one of the check boxes that they have to have to run for office as a repub? It sure seems like it these days…okay, I’ll have to do the comment one later today since I really do want to continue to watch the Arsenal/Spurs match….more later…
Fear, fear, and more fear…
Well…I have been marveling over all of the tough guy repubs who are shaking in fear with the worst threat to the US in the history of the world…in case you didn’t catch it, that was sarcasm…and I sit here and wonder what these guys are smoking or drinking, or are they just the biggest bunch of chickens that have ever lived in this country? The latest is the state hopper candidate from fear (R) Scott Brown who came out today and said that Islamic terrorism is the greatest threat the US has ever faced and that Obama is not doing enough about it…let me get this straight, ISIS is a greater threat than Nazi Germany? ISIS is a greater threat than the Japanese empire? ISIS is a greater threat than the Soviet Union in the cold war with it’s 40,000 nuclear warheads? It has gotten almost comical when another of these supposedly tougher than Democrats repubs just about craps his pants and screams the sky is falling whenever a new terror organization kills a few people….but, you know this is their playbook to win elections…fear, fear, and more fear…it’s all they have left…geez…
Rick Perry is still an idiot…
Well…how many times do I have to say “Rick Perry is still an idiot”? It seems that every day that idiot comes out with a new bit of stupidity the tops the last one…the latest was from a few days ago where he basically said that Joan Rivers would still be alive if New York had the same draconion abortion restrictions they have in Texas…you know, where all of the clinics there have to be mini hospitals with a certain width hallways, bigger doors, and other things that have nothing to do with the services being performed…since when does a wider hallway have anything to do with a woman’s health? The only thing these restrictions do is put the clinics out of business since they are not there to make huge profits and can’t afford to rebuild their buildings. Using this logic, whey haven’t they put these same restrictions on oral surgery clinics? Statistics show that oral surgery is more dangerous than getting an abortion as is knee surgery and every other outpatient surgery. The final fact is that the clinic where Joan Rivers was treated met all of the Texas requirements….but she died anyway…what a moron…geez…
Let’s do the math…
Well..I saw one of the funniest things I have seen in along time yesterday when I saw ole Lindsey Graham just freak out about ISIS saying that if we don’t do an all out attack now they will come here and “kill us all…” But, today when I was thinking about it, the first thing that popped into my head was “hey, let’s do the math”…if ISIS has 20,000 members, and that is a generous estimate, and they all came here somehow to “kill us all”, guess what the math says? It says that each one of these idiots would have to kill 16,500 Americans to “kill us all”…yep each one of these guys would have to kill 16,500 people….and I would guess that not all of us would stand still and wait for the reloads…so, the next time you hear this idiot Lindsey Graham speak…just roll your eyes and think “crazy uncle” and then get on with your day…geez…
A dreary day….
Well…it has been a dreary day today and that has left me in a dreary mood….and that hasn’t helped me to get back to the topics I need to get to to continue to make this thing a little lucid anyway…I did read a just jaw dropping comment made by Ole Lindsey Graham….the senator from who the hell cares saying that if we don’t send troops back into Iraq to fight ISIS they will come here and kill everyone in the US…yeah, right Lindsey…what the hell have you been drinking? There is no frickin way those idiots are coming here…let’s just ask one question…how would they do that? Are they going to swim? Man, this guy is just so transparent in trying to kick some more money the way of his war monger buddies that pay to re-elect him every 6 years…and not even that…where the hell are the people that live right next door to this terrorism? What about Saudi Arabia? What about Iran? What about all of the people that say they don’t support this kind of barbarism and yet continue to send them money? I’ve had enough of the US having to take care of all of this crap…and spend all the lives and money to protect our “allies” when they sit back and laugh that we are so stupid to be doing it…the hell with them…let’s let them do something for a change…geez…
The invisible candidate…
Well…over the past couple of days, I have remembered and forgotten this topic a couple of times so I thought I’d better get it down here before it goes away completely. In the senate race here in Michigan, I have never seen a candidate like Terri Land, who I have started to call the invisible candidate since she has disappeared from the campaign trail…not doing any meet and greets, any interviews, any debates, or anything, with her office just blowing everyone off. This invisibility is being complemented by the 6.5 million dollars that the Koch’s have spent trying to buy this seat for her…what else can you call it when the only people she meets with is the Koch’s and their minions…and that shows just who she is planning to represent if she gets elected…surely not you or me. I think this invisibility is part of their strategy since they know she is not too bright and can’t think on her feet…and her grasp of the issues is Palinesque…she didn’t even know what net neutrality is….I guess this is a requirement to be the senator from the Koch’s…but not from Michigan…geez…
