Well…I needed to make just one short comment this aft on the meltdown of John McCain and the resultant smackdown that has come from his own party along with that of Harry Reid….who wrote a very pointed letter to the “gang of three” that made fools of themselves by holding press conferences instead of going to the intelligence briefing that would have explained everything about Benghazi…but those idiots just wanted to score political points instead of getting to the truth…but, I shouldn’t be surprised with the only passing acquaintance with the truth that the repubs have shown over the past few election cycles…can you say “death panels?” I don’t know why anyone even listens to these folks anymore….they’re crazier than anyone I have ever seen in public life in my lifetime….and if it wasn’t so sad, I would think it’s funny…geez…

Not sure what to write about…
Well…it’s been another day today and I have been reveling in the meltdown of John McCain over the Benghazi crap…and this idiot keeps doubling down even when people in his own party say there is nothing there to be so crazy about…I just think he’s become unhinged…or addicted to the cameras on the Sunday morning shows…it kind of looks like he has one of those attention needs that is not being met by him actually doing his job as a senator. There was a great article in the Daily Kos today about the secessionist nonsense that has swept the crazys on the right…this, coming for people who supposedly are the great patriots and love this country…man, I’m not sure what they are putting in the water in the red states but it is just frickin stupid what these people want to do…kill the country to save it? I think there has been an invasion of the body snatchers or brain snatchers? When did it get to be a badge of honor to be stupid and ignorant…oh, well…at least we won the election so the crazy will be limited…geez…
Where’s my gift?
Well…I was thinking while I was out on the bike and this one popped into my head: “Where’s my gift?” If the only reason anyone voted for Obama is that they got “gifts”; according to ole Mitt, then, where the heck is my gift? Is it in the mail? Is it going to be delivered down the chimney? And, what is the gift? I hope it’s a pony! Yeah, sounds pretty ridiculous doesn’t it? But, that is what the rich think…they don’t think that being able to pay 14% on their income is a “gift”, it is a right since they were able to buy laws that allow them to treat their income as different from yours and mine. But when anyone else gets anything that will make their life better like health care, or a living wage it is a “gift” to be reviled and those that get that health care just takers that have no place in society…what a bunch of crap…just go away, Mitt so we don’t have to look at that plastic smile anymore..geez…
Romney really is delusional…
Well…I am quite surprised…no, not really, about a new tape that came out today about ole Mitt where he was talking to some of his rich buddies on the reasons why he lost the election…you know what the reason really was, in ole Mitt’s mind anyway? It was the “gifts” he gave to minorities, women, and the young….yep, ole Mitt still believes what he said in the “47%” tape…and that is that people will vote for the president because they get “things” from him. Like the young being able to stay on their parents insurance…like women being able to control their own bodies, and minorities being respected for the human beings they are; not pawns to be used in political campaigns to be ignored once the election is over. What a piece of crap ole Mitt is…I hope that Obama ignores this idiot and the cynical, stupid ideas he espouses…he has no place at the table in modern America…geez…
Boycott Papa John’s…
Well…the craziness continues on the right with their loss in the election and the latest ceo to take it out on his employees is the idiot that owns Papa John’s pizza….his is so crazy about the election that he has said that he will cut the hours of all of his employees to make them part time so he doesn’t have to offer health care under Obamacare….saying that it will bankrupt his company if he doesn’t…this is just more crap in the war on workers where these out of touch rich idiots….especially this one who lives in a 45,000 square foot house with a garage that holds over 20 cars, use the election to throw a hissy fit since their outdated ideas were soundly rejected by the country. Let’s set the record straight…offering health care for all of his employees would only cost about 5 million dollars a year…this, from a company whose NET profits will reach close to 60 million dollars this year…so, just another lie from a smug, privileged 1% er who only cares about more and more for himself. So, I call for a boycott of Papa John’s until this idiot turns into a human being and does the right thing…I’ll never buy another pizza from them….geez…
The secessionist nonsense…
Well…are the republicans crazy or what? In 15 states that are majority repubs, there are movements to petition the federal government to secede from the US….yep, you heard it here, just because they lost an election to the socialist Kenyan, these idiots want to leave the union and establish their own little countries…and, the funny thing is, all of these states are net welfare queens, getting much more back from the federal government than they pay in taxes. So, I guess I say let them secede…it would make the blue states that support them much more solvent and we could then afford college for everyone, healthcare for everyone, and balanced budgets for everyone in the new Progressive States of America. What these idiots are also not seeing is the fact that if they do secede, say goodbye to social Security, Medicare, Medicaid, and the entire social safety net that the majority of the red state citizens depend on….so, goodbye, don’t let the door hit you in the ass on the way out…geez…
What a bunch of crybabies…
Well…I just have to laugh at the ceo’s on the right who have threatened to fire their employees and in some cases have started to lay them off after the Obama win…let’s not forget that these guys have done much better in the last 4 years of Obama than the previous 8 under ole GW, with corp profits at an all time high last year. So, this appears to me to just be a temper tantrum of the spoiled rich and they are mad that their employees didn’t listen to them, that they don’t have the power that the right has been telling them they have. I specifically want to address the meme that it is over taxation and regulation that is causing these layoffs, especially since it is the new talking point that the right has taken up and has used Murray energy as the poster boy…you remember Murray Energy don’t you? It is the coal company that has so little regard for the safety of it’s workers that it regularly kills some of them….and now the owner has started to lay off his miners, saying it is because of the Obama administration’s hatred of coal. This even made me laugh more since it is the free market that the repubs say they worship that is killing the demand for coal with the collapse of natural gas prices due to increased drilling and new methods of extraction. So, what should a company do to meet it’s energy needs? Continue to pay 40% more in cost as corporate welfare to the coal companies? These guys are just so pathetic that I can’t believe it…yeah, I can…just a bunch of crybabies that have been taught the country belongs to them and the rest of use might be allowed to live in it if it is okay with them…not anymore…geez…
There are just so many targets…
Well…after the election, there are so many targets on the right with all of their nonsense that I am confused about where to go with this one…oh, one thing I wanted to talk about is how to organize a boycott of any company whose CEO fires people because Obama won the election…this just has to happen to make sure that these idiots pay out of their own wallet for this nonsense…and on that note, there should be a law passed that would make this nonsense illegal…well…maybe not…I really don’t want more government but these people need to be stopped somehow….I do hope that people will stop saying that the election loss will lead to soul searching on the right…first, these people have no souls so how is that going to work? Second, they are the true believers in that conservative nonsense and from everything I’ve read, the only thing they think they did wrong was tactical and that some small tweaks will win the election for them next time…I really hope they keep thinking that…if they do, they will continue to lose and I’ll continue to smile…
The 339 million dollar man…
Well…I am still grinning about the election and the incredulity on the right that they couldn’t beat the socialist Kenyan….but, the funniest thing that I take away from this one is the utter and abject failure of one of the “brains” on the right, Karl Rove, who had everything wrong and even when the election was called, he stayed in his delusional bubble just knowing that his information was correct and the rest of the world was wrong…that was a really cool thing to see. His failures as a political savant or even a mediocre politician was really driven home when not one of the candidates or initiatives that he spent 339 million dollars of other peoples money on won…that’s right…339 million dollars of spending and not even a box of donuts to show for it…and his explanations or justifications are that the race wouldn’t have been as close as they were without the money he spent. Yeah…I think that will go over quite well with billionaires that believed ole Karl when he said “just give me enough money and we can’t lose”….these people continue to live in the bubble of the right wing echo chamber and truly believe that they are entitled to the presidency or anything else they want just because they are rich…well..too bad…they have taken everything else and they even tried to take our votes but the people are starting to wake up to this thievery and have said no…it’s about time…
It’s the ideas…nothing else…
Well…just a short one on the dissection that is going on right now about the election last night…the whole thing has centered on the mechanics of the election…about the execution and the organization that won the election…but I don’t think that’s it at all, I think it was the ideas that won the day…that people didn’t want more tax cuts for the rich…they don’t want the government interfering in peoples lives…that the whole idea of trickle down economics is not the direction that most of the people want to see…we want to see a way to strengthen the middle class and have good jobs for everyone that wants one…and they like the direction we are going…so, let’s keep going…
