Scapegoats

I can not even begin to say how much I hate the Republicans for going after the unions for the mess over at the auto industry.  I'm not going to provide a link, it should be easy enough to find; just Google "UAW, bailout, GM, Republican Assholes" and it should pop right up.

Once again, I am not an expert on this stuff, but the Execs of these industries just took Private FUCKING Jets to a meeting with congress. To beg for money! Now you want to tell me some guy's pension is bringing down these companies? 

It seems the unions have made concessions. Of course they have. Unions exist to make sure the workers are not getting screwed by management. For good reason, management has ALWAYS screwed workers. That's why there are unions. However, I would think the Union Leaders would have a keen grasp that if the auto industry fails then the jobs go too. Along with the union. 

Only Republicans could make an argument this fucking dumb. Remember when they said Rock n' Roll contained Subliminal Messages to tell the fans to kill themselves? Yeah, that's the ultimate way to build a fan base. "Hey! Thanks for buying our record, now Off yourself, we'll get new fans for the next one."

Fucking idiots. As soon as I see a Republican flip out over the private jets, I'll start listening to them about the unions. Oh wait. No I won't.

Anyway...

Oh, FOX!

Please, FOX News, don't be jealous. From Gawker: apparently Fox ran a story about how Bush is still the President and that the Office of the President-Elect doesn't really exist and Obama doesn't really have any power, so says the Constitution. (Remember, the Constitution is all powerful during a Democratic Administration.) I couldn't find the actual link on Fox's site, but in fairness I didn't look too hard.

Now, I can see why FOX is upset. The only thing keeping the economy from tumbling like your granny down a flight of stairs is his daily press conferences from behind that podium that has FOX so upset. Obama is basically saying, "Please, keep it together until the Chimp is gone. I'm on my way with all these Serious, fact-acknowledging people." 

So, my question for FOX is would you prefer Obama shut up and your 401K continue to shrink? Because quite frankly, mine could use a boost.

Hannity and Who?

Well, Colmes finally quit. The world waits for a single liberal who gives a shit. 

The difference

The main reason I think that Democrats are always preferable to Republicans is that Democrats actually believe the Government can work.  Now, I don't know that this has always been the case, but it certainly has been the case for the last couple of decades. Reagan famously said, "Government is the problem and not the solution." How can people who honestly believe this run a government?  The answer, clearly, is that they can't.

Now, finally, it seems we have a bunch of serious people taking the reins again. The job will be next to fucking impossible. And Bush is making it harder in his last 60 days.  One of the things they are pulling is Borrowing.  All former presidents do this to a certain extent, but this is just classic Bush. He apparently is very busy cramming cronies and sycophants in positions they do not belong in. Important positions that will affect how smoothy this country will run for years to come. Bush and his ilk are irresponsible, unserious men and the damage they have done will continue to stink up the joint long after they have gone.

Bash in Baghdad

Umm.. Why was I not invited to the burning Bush in effigy party? I hate people that don't get the invitations in the mail on time. It's called Evite, people!

Seriously, not wishing any physical damage on the worst president of all time (That needs an acronym better than WPAT. Actually, that kind of works, the Dubya-PAT), and being burned in effigy by an angry mob anywhere is not a good thing (though, I am shocked it doesn't happen more. Like everywhere, every Saturday.)

However, I, along with just about everyone else, just wishes he'd become Baseball Commissioner or something and not the leader of the mother-fucking Free World. Granted, I would hate to see the MLB crumble, but better than the entire... well, planet. And besides, then Vince McMahon would be free to launch the XLB and that would just rock.

Anyway...

Wendy's. Danger.

For those of you who have not heard of Glenn Beck, I beg you to stop reading. 

You were warned. Glenn Beck is basically the guy CNN hired when they saw Fox News was doing so well.  He is a Conservative (i.e. Republican) gasbag. At any rate, he was recently threatened in a Wendy's while trying to buy some Frostys.  Now, I don't think anyone should get their ass kicked, particularly by an angry trucker, but pointing out Glenn Beck's hypocrisy here would be, well, pointless.  Read the link, he's genuinely shocked that America is SO angry, when it's assholes like him that have been stoking the fires of hatred for so long (ok, so I did point out his hypocrisy, but just a little). Now, he clearly doesn't see himself this way, so it's, again, rather pointless.

What I do find interesting is his response when his bodyguards initially do not want him to go into the Wendy's. He thinks, "I mean, it's a truck stop. How much trouble am I going to get in in a truck stop? Everybody here you can trust." Yes, Glenn. All Truckers are loyal, hard-working Americans  (i.e. Republicans). 

Again, this is the heart of the flawed and condescending attitudes of Right-wing pundits. They figure, hey these truck-stop guys have blue collar jobs, they love mom and apple pie and hate the long hairs. People like Beck spend so much time dealing in the outmoded jargon of the sixties they don't even think for a minute that maybe things are different now. Glenn, the country has made a subtle shift. Not a big shift, but Blue Collar workers, after holding their ankles for the last 8 (40, actually) years, are not necessarily buying your bull shit anymore. (Or O'Reilly's for that matter, who was just on the Daily Show preaching to Jon Stewart about hanging out too much in 'the Village." Christ, where do you thing YOU live, Bill?). Glenn thought he was safe because he was among 'his people' aka dumb racists. Trust me, Glenn. Hang out in the CNN studios. Everyone will kiss your ass because you're on TV, girls will blow you because you're rich, and no one will call you out for being the dumb racist fuck you are.

Anyway...

The Antichrist.. Again

Newsweek. You are dead to me. Not that I read you anyway, so I guess you can keep publishing your UNBELIEVABLE BULLSHIT!

Seriously. Newsweek printed an article entitled, "Is Obama the Antichrist?" Now, unlike some of the liberal bloggers I've seen on this, I'm not entirely pissed that they are reporting on this phenomenon. My problem, is the complete lack of mocking. These people that think this are fucking morons. They are gone. You can not reason with these fucking people. I've given up on them. The only thing you can do is, at the very fucking least, don't LEGITIMATIZE their FUCKING INSANE POSITIONS. Jesus, Newsweek. 

Now, believing in the First Amendment like a good liberal, I don't have a problem with these people per se, but I don't want them getting serious attention. They need mocking attention. They need to be a sidebar to the wonderful things they are doing with psychotropic drugs these days. They are insane, or at the very least they are mislead, confused and need serious help. But it's a religious position, so it's off limits to criticism in polite society. 

So, not criticizing here just asking. And all I'm asking (and I know you people aren't reading this blog) if you actually hold the idea that the bible is 100% literally true and Obama is and/or may be the Antichrist, stop using our shit. And by OUR I mean the science people. Stop using our medicine. Stop watching our Televisions. Stop enjoying our movies with our fucking awesome special effects. You guys want to live in the Dark Ages, fine. Grab a sword, grab a bow and arrow and move into the fucking forest and live the dreams, you troglodytic fucks.  In fact, don't even grab a sword, it might be made of steel and steel requires SCIENCE!
