Follow the links. The first one is from fucking Goldman-Sachs, hardly a liberal outfit.
Even middle class people have lost earning power, while the corporations account for more dough than our government has ever had a percentage of.
It just is so weird and disconcerting that the Ruling Class, a.k.a., The Man, can’t seem to get this, since they continue to whine about the “great economy” we’re in vs. the poll numbers about said economy. Earth to Politicians: Your friends do not equal “the economy.”
It sure is going to be interesting to see if/how we get out of this plane crash that I like to call, “The Bush Administration.”

…and forgot to post it. So, so pathetically sad. Embarrassing, really.
Cardboard cutouts of your soldier parents. To make you feel better.
I’m not kidding, and neither is The General.
The United States of America, Circling the Drain.

Wow. Thought he was a six-footer at least. The power of TV microcosmically revealed.
I wonder how much that explains, given his Chickenhawk status. We all know the Napolean syndrome is real, because we’ve all seen it in action. Don’t be stupid and think it doesn’t apply to everyone, potentially.
I heard it tonight on the news. So it has to be true. LOL.

Wouldn’t it be interesting to see all the left blogosphere, all the Dem incumbents, and all others with a left-leaning (not me; I’m a “too much power” leaner) bent using fear to their advantage?
Suggested sound-bite: “We disagree with just about everything this Administration has done. But we respect the opinions of our political opponents. Vote Republican this fall, so that the Democratic party cannot be held accountable for whatever happens until our next election.”
I say it’s a huge winner.
THAT will scare folks. And make no mistake about it, fear works.

What the heck is this guy doing on TV? (He was arguing for the Dems tonight on Hardball) The man is 0-8.
This is the opposition party?
It’s like calling in Bill O’Lielly to refute truth.

Jesus, there are a bunch of them. I have plum forgotten Rick Santorum (R-PA) and his concers about “man on dog” sex.
Money quote:
Every society in the history of man has upheld the institution of marriage as a bond between a man and a woman. Why? Because society is based on one thing: that society is based on the future of the society. And that’s what? Children. Monogamous relationships. In every society, the definition of marriage has not ever to my knowledge included homosexuality. That’s not to pick on homosexuality. It’s not, you know, man on child, man on dog, or whatever the case may be. It is one thing. And when you destroy that you have a dramatic impact on the quality —
AP: I’m sorry, I didn’t think I was going to talk about “man on dog” with a United States senator, it’s sort of freaking me out.
SANTORUM: And that’s sort of where we are in today’s world, unfortunately. The idea is that the state doesn’t have rights to limit individuals’ wants and passions. I disagree with that. I think we absolutely have rights because there are consequences to letting people live out whatever wants or passions they desire. And we’re seeing it in our society.”
I guess he should be in the race. The highly prized, highly sought, “This Guy is a Fucking Senator?” Award for biggest moron in our most deliberative body of politics. Yes, man-on-dog sex is an inevitable consequence of allowing gay people to marry.
God knows, man-on-dog sex is one of the biggest issues facing this country. And it doesn’t even COMPARE with man-on-sheep sex. Which disturbingly has been going on for centuries.
And Rick has a good 40% of his constituents behind him.
Move your money to cash. Bush has screwed up everything else; the idea the stock market won’t collapse is almost comic.

I’ve singled out the two from OK a little unfairly, I suppose. Conrad Burns of MT is right there in the hunt with Ted Stevens of AK and our two geniuses from OK for the coveted award of Top Dog in the “These Guys are Fucking Senators?” category.

…to watch this. You’ll hear about it peripherally in the mainstream media, but you have to listen and watch to appreciate it.
Thank you, Keith Olbermann.
