Well…still not feeling well today and I’m not sure if I did it to myself or not….don’t think so…but, I still do have to come back to do another one today no matter how I feel….I did just get the chance to go out and read Nate Silver’s new website Fivethirtyeight.com and it could become a place for some news that is as objective as it comes since he is a numbers guy and just wants to report the facts, not opinion…well…there may be some opinion but it will be labeled as such so you can tell….the repubs shot themselves in the foot, again, over the past few days…bitching about how people who qualify for food stamps actually use the program to eat…while applauding corporations not paying any taxes while using the laws/programs that allow them to do that….shouldn’t their heads be spinning yet? I guess “corporations are people my friends” and as such they are more equal than real ones….geez…

Another reason to not eat at McDonalds…
Well….as if a person needed more reason to not eat at McD’s….other than the food that will make you fat or kill you if you eat it all the time…okay, maybe that is a little harsh…the company came out this week with some tips on how their starvation level wages can be supplemented and everyone can have a wonderful, happy holiday….the first one is just a wonderful piece of corporate crap…they recommend that their employees just sell their Christmas presents or anything else they don’t need on e-bay…the problem with that is that, with the wages they pay their folks, they probably don’t have anything to sell anyway….maybe they should sell their food next? One other thing that this poor excuse for a company does is give out instructions on how to sign up for food stamps…not pay their people enough so they don’t need them, but get the government to pay for their food and subsidize the profits of the owners…and these are the same people who decry welfare or any type of public assistance and do their best to have it cut while feeding at the government trough themselves for billions of dollars a year…just like Walmart….what a bunch of crap…geez…
Republicans are the biggest damn hypocrites…
Well…I can’t say I was surprised the other day when I read about two of the repub thugs who are driving the cuts to food stamps for the poor are also farmers who have received millions in crop subsidies and other benefits from the government. Stephen Fincher from Tennessee and Doug LaMalfa from California are the idiots who see their corporate welfare as being a good thing since it “saved their farms” but they can’t see that cutting food stamps is not such a good thing for all of the working poor and veterans that depend on them to keep from going hungry. In Fincher’s case, his family has received over 3 million dollars in subsidies over the past 15 years while LaMalfa’s family has received over 5 million dollars in that same time frame…what happened to the “free market” that the repubs worship? If these farms can’t survive without subsidies, then they shouldn’t be in business according to every repub in the country and then we can use the millions and millions to ensure that people in this country don’t starve….what a bunch of hypocrites…geez…
Okay, gonna cheat…
Well…needing one more to get the goal for the month…I am going to cheat a little and just free-form it a little and see what happens…it seems that there is a lull in politics right now other than the disdain that the repubs have for the cuts to programs for poor children that have come from the sequester…they are just fine with letting poor kids starve, but if one rich guy has to stand in line at the airport for an extra half hour, we just can’t have that…so they restore the cuts to aviation and propose cutting food stamps more to pay for it….have there ever been a more evil bunch than the repubs now in congress? Then, we have the idiots that voted against background checks and we now have the NRA running ads thanking them? Against the 90% of their constituents that wanted them? I am tired of having to wait years to have these idiots pay for it at the ballot box…but, keep it up repubs…people are starting to notice and you will pay the next time….what else? Nothing right now….just trying to hit the number…might be back to add to this one later if I think of something…
