Well…just read an article a few minutes ago that I just had to comment on…with the church shooting in SC in the headlines and the fact that it is a hate crime out of the mouth of the shooter…but no, that’s not good enough for Fox “news”…that doesn’t fit their narrative…the one they have been pushing for years now that there is a war on Christians…yep, they went there with this tragedy…using the deaths of 9 people to push more of their crap and fantasy of what is going on in the US, that Christians are under attack across the US and, of course, this attack is just more “proof”. I wonder how these asses live with themselves? Not a day has passed and here we have these cynical bastards using these deaths as if they were not people…but, that is the whole problem with Fox and the right, they don’t think of the African American community as people, they think of them as the “other” to be demonized and used for political purposes and if a few of them die, so what? it gave them the chance to pander to their base and that’s the only value they place on anyone who is not a white person…I am so sick of this pollution of our country….Fox can go to hell….

Just shaking my head….
Well….as usual, when I was reading today I found an article that left me shaking my head about the stupidity of people here in the US…and that happens more and more frequently lately. In a survey that the article was reporting on, 40% of the people polled still think that there were weapons of mass destruction found in Iraq…and, even more troubling than that, there are an almost equal number in the survey that still think Obama wasn’t born in the US…how many times do these false legends have to be debunked before people believe the truth? I find this willful ignorance to be one of the most troubling trends in US life today…that people who should know better believe this crap that they are spoon fed daily by Fox…I guess I should question their intelligence if they watch Fox…I wonder if just watching Fox lowers your IQ? Sure seems like it…geez…
Get out and vote tomorrow…
Well…getting to the end of election season and I am pretty happy that I won’t have to see any more ads after then…and, it looks like the good guys are going to lose the senate…at least that’s what the polls say….there is one small thread of hope that we still have and that is if the GOTV actions are not reflected in the polls…but I am not going to go all right wing delusional about it…if we lose, it’s our fault for not voting since we outnumber them…at least we won’t have Terri Land as a senator and that may be the only consolation we can take away from this one….there is one thing that will be sure if the repubs do take the senate…more Obamacare repeal votes…more investigations and none of the country’s business getting done…ole Ted Cruz is so delusional that he thinks he’d have the votes to override a veto…that’s not going to happen…ever….but these folks have never been encumbered by reality…so I guess I’m not surprised…to end this thing, the only thing that will fix this country is for you to go out and vote…I trust that most of you who come here every day are at least a little progressive so get out there and vote for more equal rights for everyone….if any of you are repubs, I just heard on Fox news that Ebola can be transmitted through voting machines so you should stay home to be safe…after all you believe everything Fox says don’t you?
This is pretty funny…
Well…have been following the whole Cliven Bundy thing for a couple of days now and I find the reporting of the thing by Fox to be quite funny…when ole Cliven was just a thief that stole a million dollars from you and me, Fox championed him as being some kind of a patriot, as they do with all of the thieves on the right when they break the law…never mind that the repubs are supposed to be the “law and order” party…but, the latest reporting on Fox of ole Cliven’s racist rant is interesting to say the least…in that it doesn’t exist there…nope, not one peep from even ole Cliven’s biggest supporter and publicity agent, Sean Hannity….and that is pretty funny…not that Fox even gives a damn about the crap they spout….it’s just funny that they backed the wrong guy and it blew up in their faces…as it almost always does with each and every new American hero they try to promote…geez…
Another bunch of stupidity from Fox…
Well…was just reading a little nugget about the idiots over at Fox on Kos and I just can’t believe how stupid these folks are…on “Fox and friends” this week, the idiot Doocey tried to make the point that Obamacare is a failure because it has only covered 1% of the 15% of people that are uninsured in this country…never mind that the exchanges don’t open until the first of October and the coverage doesn’t start until January 1st…Obamacare is a failure because it hasn’t covered everyone before they sign up. The 1% they are talking about are the kids that get to stay on their parents policies until they are 26 and would not be able to afford insurance under the current plans…so, the way to look at this is that Obamacare is covering an extra 1% before it even starts….I am really getting tired of the right and Fox…they just don’t give a damn if they lie and lie and lie…they’re just not even trying to be “fair and balanced”…as it they ever were….geez….
Stupidity alert!
Well…was just getting the rest of my online papers read and ran across this huge piece of stupidity from Fox news….if you pay any attention to the right, and not just for laughs, you know that they hold any form of energy that doesn’t come out of the ground with utter contempt…trotting out the failure of Solyndra whenever anyone talks about solar energy. Yesterday, though, in looking for ways to denigrate the solar industry here, they held Germany up as the only success in the world and for a really startling and really stupid reason….Germany has more sunny days than anywhere in the world! Yep, they actually had a “scientist” come on and say that….and say that California only has a few sunny days a year so solar can never work in the US. The problem is that this “scientist” was just plain wrong…wrong, wrong, wrong….when you actually look at the data (yeah, I know, the right doesn’t believe in facts or data) every state in the US has more sunny days than Germany….well…it’s tied with Alaska but that doesn’t change the fact that Fox is at the top of the stupidity scale once again…..and they completely ignore the fact that the subsidies that the Germans have given their industry is many, many times more that that given to get the industry moving here….what a bunch of maroons…geez…
Okay, we won…haven’t seen anybody fired yet…
Well…have been nursing the hangover from the election all day, and that, combined with the cold I’m still fighting, have kind of laid me low today…but, I did want to comment a little on some thoughts on the election that have been bubbling up all day…first, na na na…to Karl Rove and his minions who thought they could buy this election…how did spending that billion dollars work out for ya? Ole Karl was just crazed after Ohio was called and I just laughed so hard with him trying to get his own network to rescind the call…second…I wonder how many businesses were closed and people fired today? To listen to these idiots, the lights were going to go off across America the instant Obama got re-elected…haven’t seen any yet…and now with us still in control of most of the government, there needs to be a new law that will make it a crime to threaten your employees if they don’t vote the way you want…third…and this one just make me laugh…the tea partiers are just going frickin crazy today..with the Ohio chapter putting out an obituary for America today on their site…the only thing I have to say is grow the frick up….American is in better hands than yours and your 15 minutes is up…crawl back under the rock you came from…the days of angry white guys running this country are over and not a day too soon…hmmm….what else? That’s enough for now…oh, I even watched Fox last night just to see how bad is was for them…I can’t remember being this happy in a long, long time…
Just realized that I missed December 5th….
Well…looking through the archives here, I just noticed that I missed December 5th for some reason…I know it was just yesterday but doing the morning update is like breathing to me so I can’t figure it out…oh, well…I did find a few funny things that I wanted to comment on today…the first one made me laugh like crazy and it is further evidence that the right has really gone off the rails…there were some commentators over there on Fox that really went off on “The Muppets” and their latest movie because the villain that is trying to take away their home is an oilman…and Fox was apoplectic with what they call the “indoctrination” of children through movies aimed at them that take on themes of friendship, cooperation, and environmental concern. I wonder what they would rather see…unbridled capitalism that the Muppets use to steal the country? That cutting off mountaintops and oil spills are good for the children and that they should aspire to be one of those polluters? What a bunch of amoral idiots they have over there at Fox…if you want to see the rot that is ruining our country, just tune in over there for a few minutes…geez….
Here come the lies from the right…
Well…I am not surprised with the now concerted effort to vilify and demonize the “Occupy” movement that is spreading across the world that is coming from the right…after all, they have a vested interest in keeping the status quo where 20% of the country who are rich and connected take, and take, and take while the rest of us keep butting our heads against this money and power. Now, some of the golden oldies of division that the repubs trot out any time they feel threatened with the truth are weaving their way into the daily talking points and are getting constant airing on Fox News…that the movement is overrun by “commies” and anti-semites and propose that “Occupy” is just a cover for socialists trying to force everyone into labor camps and confiscate the wealth of the rich for redistribution. I mean, really? The rich have been confiscating the wealth of everyone else for the past two decades by the purchasing of the government through the repubs and that is okay? Oh, I get it…it’s okay to redistribute wealth up but not down. I finally have a glimmer of hope that the rich and connected have overplayed their hand by bringing their naked theft into the open and not caring who knows about it…starting in Wisconsin and continuing with the Cain 999 plan that would cut taxes for the top 5% while raising taxes on the rest of us. Keep it up “Occupy”…the screaming you hear coming from the right is fear and the repubs understand the use of fear better than anyone else…geez…
Bye Bye, Glenn…
Well…I missed this one and I can barely believe it myself…didn’t really miss it but my brain has been on alert overload for so long that this easy, simple, target was missed. It is a day of rejoicing for America and for us progressives…but not only that, for any thinking, rational human being….damn, buried the lead again…let’s back up…Glenn Beck’s show on the fake news network has been canceled and I can’t be happier. Before you think that I am a proponent of censorship of even extreme ideas, if you’ve been here before you know that I always want an interpretation of the constitution that leans toward individual freedom that is almost absolute, and would want even Glenn Beck’s views to be protected by the first amendment. That said, I also think that the public discourse in our society has become way too coarse and is a factor in the polarization of our country….something I think is the root cause of the looming government shutdown. As I’ve said before, crazies like Glenn would have been unwashed, and standing on a street corner spewing his hate when I was growing up…but in these cynical times organizations like Fox will do anything to further their cause and that has meant giving people like Beck a mouthpiece, but I think it was more than that…I think it was a ploy to make the rest of the extremists at Fox look less far-right than they are….providing a convenient but still false comparison. So, goodbye Glenn….and good riddance….
