Climate Deniers at work

Here's how I would like to deal with the climate deniers at work:

Cowards

Politics

Elected Democrats are a bunch of *censored*ing cowards. They should do something rather than spend all their lives trying to cover their asses.

Manufacturing Healthcare Consent

General News

I just had a thought. You know how we have been hearing for months on all the network news and cable news and political talk shows that the Democrats had to pass something, anything called "Health Care Reform?"  Could it be that we are all being played and that the Dems don't have to do any thing of the sort. The media defined the terms of success or failure based on what they heard at *censored*tail parties. They passed it on to us. We swallowed it in order to make us swallow whatever shit sandwich they fed us. Could this be the case? Just asking. Maybe the Democrats don't have to pass something called health care reform right now. Especially if it isn't health care reform.

I am still undecided on what to do with this bill as the Senate has defined it, but it is getting pretty hard to understand how the American public will take kindly to what is proposed right now. I don't think that the Democrats are necessarily shooting their foot off, but they might be. Or even worse, they might be shooting themselves in the testicles.

Barack Obama Defined

General News

What do all the following show about Barack Obama as President?

  • The healthcare bills in front of Congress
  • The huge bailout of the banking industry, including blindly backing Goldman Sach's bets with AIG at 100%
  • The continuation of the Iraq and Afghanistan wars
  • Guantanomo not closing by the deadline he imposed
  • No change in stance on Gays in the Military
  • No support for Gay Marriage

It shows that he is a moderate incrementalist. He is not progressive. He has no intention of being progressive, or even doing anything that progressives want. He is not radical change. He is not a transformative figure. He is barely change at all.

He is a DLC Democrat with populist speeches and no action. He is Evan Bayh and Joe Lieberman and Ben Nelson and Mary Landrieu. He is a one term president.

He is not George Bush, but only in style. Until he takes some actual positive action, that is the only positive that I see.

Names

General News

The wife of convicted felon and Rhode Island politician Buddy Cianci was named Nancy Ann Cianci. Say that three times fast. I am such an amateur at coming up with funny names.

Ignorant Leatherneck attacks Greek Priest

General News

In Florida, an ex-marine bashed a Greek priest with a tire iron, thinking that the bearded swarthy man must of course be a terrorist. Expect to see more ignorant steroid fueled attacks.

NJ Gov

General News

Not thrilled about Gov. Chrisite, but am not crying over losing Gov. Corzine. Corzine was a fine Senator and a pretty bad Governer. At least NJ won't have any more of his harebrained schemes to sell the NJ Turnpike. Now we'll have other harebrained schemes from Christie of indeterminate nature.

Three Directors

General News

 There are three movie directors whose works I will not see until they prove to me not to be horribly disgusting misanthropes.

  1. Lars von Trier
  2. Neil LaBute
  3. Todd Solandz

I like at least one movie by each one of these directors, but their utter seething hatred of humanity will most likely keep me away from any of their future works. Until I from a reliable source that some work they have done does not fall into this category, no more.

And after you are done, have a look at this.
