Swine Flu...Run for Your Lives!!!!!!!

Oh my...now we have swine flu to worry about. Never mind that nearly 3 million Americans have lost their jobs sine January 1st....Never mind that the American auto industry...one of the few things we still make in this country...is teetering on total collapse....Never mind the millions of households that are in foreclosure on their homes, or close to foreclosure....Never mind that a radical religious army is inching closer to toppling a government that has nuclear bombs.....

No...never mind any of that, because 91 Americans are sick with the flu!!!!! And boy, watch out, this swine flu is going to get much, much worse!!!!!!!

Hysteria, a distraction from the real problems in the world, an opportunity for more right wing finger pointing at Obama....swine flu. Give me a freckin' break!

Tea Bagging

I guess the right wingnuts didn't bother Googling the term "tea bagging" before making it their own....crusade.

So, even though the wingnuts, and the super wing nuts at Fox News, want you to believe that these "tea bagging" session tomorrow are a spontaneous response, they are actually well financed, and well organized by right wing consultants and think tanks....

The web site, "Save the Rich" lays it all out...this phony "grassroots" effort has a name...it's called "astro turfing" and it's as phony as plastic grass.

Loose Ends

Oh boy, have the right wing nut jobs been in a tizzy lately! Limbaugh has been going off on Veterans that call his show and take him to task for supporting torture. Just about every right wing talk show host is going off on Obama for (a) being a socialist, (b) being a fascist, (c) hating America, and (d) for being far more popular than they are! The poor boys (and girls) are having a very difficult time adjusting to a smart, articulate, and popular, President....not to mention the trouble they are having adjusting to life in a democratic...that's small "d" democratic....society. Eight years of ignoring the Constitution, and making up the laws to suit your needs, will make you a bit unsure when faced with...oh my god....real justice!

On top of that, the Vermont legislature just ok'd same sex marriage. Boy, the Apocalypse must be right around the corner.....and you have to love the nut job's arguments against same sex marriage...."it undermines the very bedrock of our democracy!" It's funny, but I thought "equal protection" was one of the bedrocks of a democracy.....I guess they think its ok to have one set of laws for some people, and another set of laws for someone else....and what set of laws you get to live your life under depends on whether THEY like you....hmmm.

Yeah, it has been a fun 100 days watching the right wing, and their Republican friends in Congress, scramble to figure out why nearly 75% of America has turned them out and off. I hear if you walk the halls of Congress you can find Republicans huddled in corners talking about tax cuts, and deregulation, and screwing working Americans....but really, who's listening, and who cares?
