Well…read an article this morning that just distilled what is wrong with the repub party these days…with the tax cut fever that has spread through repub controlled states like Wisconsin, Kansas, Louisiana, and our own state of Michigan that has busted all of the budgets…some of the conservatives in Louisiana have figured out that gee, maybe cutting all those taxes was not such a good idea since they are now looking at a 1.6 billion dollar deficit. Some of them have even uttered the unthinkable, that they may have to raise taxes to fix the shortfall. But, here comes the sickening part…instead of doing their jobs and taking care of the people of Louisiana, they first had to make the pilgrimage to the shrine of tax cutting, Grover Norquists office…and you know the result. Under no circumstances will he allow them to raise taxes…but, my question is “who elected Grover Norquist?” No resident of Louisiana voted for him so why do they have to suffer the destruction of their state to please him? It’s about time for the US to throw this idiot and his nonsense to the curb…this crap has never worked to do anything but to make the rich richer and allow them to freeload on our tax dollars….I hope this makes you as sick as it makes me….no one person has done more damage to the country than ole Grover…geez…

Cops and prosecutors are out of control…
Well..if you didn’t think that something needs to be done about the lying cops and colluding prosecutors that infest the US, just listen to this one…a couple of years back, in Louisiana, a man served court papers on a cop in a police brutality lawsuit, in front of other cops and prosecutors…nothing special…but, then, 20 minutes later, the process server was arrested at his house and charged with battery, obstruction of justice, and intimidating a witness. Then, the sick part happened…circling the wagons, two more prosecutors and the cop that was served all colluded to lie and say that the server had punched the cop in the chest so hard it drove him back 6 feet…all in all around 8 people were in on the conspiracy including the police chief…but, the one thing they didn’t count on was a cell phone camera and the video that was taken by the server’s wife while the papers were being served and that showed that the server just handed the papers to the cop and the cop turned and walked away. Another sick thing here is that the process server has had to pay for a lawyer and have these serious felony charges hang over his head for more than two years. One other sick thing…the cop still has his job, the prosecutor still has his job and the lying lawyers that colluded on the case still have their jobs…..when will this crap end? geez…
The family values crowd…
Well…I have been laughing…or would have been laughing at another member of the “family values” crowd if it wasn’t just so absurd…if you haven’t heard, another Louisiana congressman got caught making out with a staff member after he was elected extolling his virtues as the family values candidate. But, here’s the real curve, now that he was caught, this idiot didn’t follow the David Vitter model…and that is lie to everyone, act contrite, and call for forgiveness from god…nope, this guy is willing to spend millions of government dollars “investigating” who released the tape of him making out and then try to proffer criminal charges…yep, he is going to try to prosecute the person who revealed his wrongdoings….not resign as he should but play the well worn right wing victim card where none of their behavior is their fault…but the fault lies with the media who revealed it…I can not believe the chutzpah of these idiots….geez…
The problem with religion in schools…
Well…reading a news story about how the chrisitanists in Louisiana are illegally allowing religion in their public schools, it points out just how far these supposed religious people will go to impose their brand of religion on everyone and use it as a weapon to intimidate those who have different religions. In a middle school in Louisiana, one teacher even goes so far as to teach her classes that the bible ” is 100% true”, and that “evolution is impossible” and that a buddhist student is stupid for not believing in her god. The response of the superintendent of schools there was even worse…when the parents complained of the teachers bullying of their son, this idiot suggested that the child “change his religion” since they live in the bible belt, or change schools…not a word about the illegality of this teacher’s action but just get he hell out of here if you are not a christian. This is what is wrong with these christian terrorists…they are no better than the Taliban who also want to impose their twisted interpretation of a religion at the point of a gun….but Louisiana uses the full force of the government to do it…I hope the ACLU will be successful in making these folks understand that the first amendment applies to them…geez…
How low can they go?
Well…every time I think that the repubs can’t sink any lower than candidates like Issa (the high school dropout/car thief/ arsonist) or Louie Gohmert (just plain nuts), they surprise me with digging the hole even deeper…and this time it is Louisiana that is holding the shovel…the news just made me laugh so hard that I really had to comment on it…their latest brainstorm for a candidate for congress from swampland is one of the stars of “Duck dynasty”, the A&E show about the duck call business run by the Robertsons…now, this guy may be successful due in no small part to the tv show, but is he qualified to…oh, that’s right…tea party folks are proud they are not qualified to be in congress and have no need to compromise or represent anyone..just their lame brained ideas of how the country works. Just another of the haters on the right who think that everyone should be able to inherit a business from their daddy and that makes them better than the rest of us….keep it up repubs…run them idiots…geez…
Idiots in charge…
Well…I had to laugh today when the governors of two of the hurricane prone states finally figured out the the austerity that they just love, along with the rest of the idiot repubs, is going to limit the preparations for hurricanes that the federal government can fund. The genius in Florida, Rick Scott, is now whining and crying that his national guard doesn’t have the money to train for disasters anymore so he and Bobby Jindal, another repub genius, are teaming up with a bunch of other repub governors to send a letter to Obama asking him to give them money so they don’t have to pay for them on their own. First, these guys just don’t have any idea who is responsible for legislation in the federal government…it is the repub controlled house you idiots…Obama can’t just appropriate money, that is the job of the house…so, if you really want to get things done instead of grandstanding and doing the only thing that repubs want to do, attack Obama, talk to your tea party buddies in the house and get them to end the sequester….geez…
