My pick for POTUS

In 2008 I was in the tank 100% for Obama.  A McCain/Palin presidency administration would have been a disaster for us.  Initially I was behind what President Obama was doing, expanding SCHIP, enacting the Lily Ledbetter Act, and other things but as time went on I began to see Obama betraying his progressive principles and steering the USA further to the right.  He accepted Republican talking points that the federal budget is out of control and that Social Security is the cause of it.  He did not follow through on his promises to reform the Patriot Act.  He went after whistleblowers in the government and he cracked down on medical marijuana.  He flatly refused to consider a single payer national health insurance for all option in his health care overhaul.  He unjustly imprisoned Bradley Manning and is denying him his right to a fair and speedy trial.  He's bombing innocent people in Pakistan and he refuses to end the boondoggle in Afghanistan.  So for those reasons I can't support him this time around.

Since I don't support Obama, then I must support Romney, right?  No.  Hell no.  A Mitt Romney presidency would be an unmitigated disaster for us.  He'd tank our economy even further than Bush did and he'd jump in and start a war with Iran the first chance he got, he'd go to war with Iran to prove he's more pro Israel than Obama is.  A Romney administration would be a disaster for senior citizens, working people, women, and everyone but the top one percent of the economic pile.  He'd be a president for the Fortune 500, not for the average working American.  He's shown that he'll say anything and take any position he thinks you want him to have in order to get elected.  He's as phony as the day is long in Alaska in the summer time.

Since I'm not supporting either of the corporate cash polluted two party system candidates, then who am I behind this time around? 

I'm voting for Rocky Anderson of the Justice Party.

Rocky is anti war, pro peace, pro green, pro working people, and pro women.  His positions differ little from Jill Stein of the Green Party, who I also respect and like.  You can read more about Rocky and the Justice Party by clicking here.  I want a sustainable peaceful future for the USA, that's why I support Rocky.

Now some of you will be screaming that by voting for Rocky I'm helping Romney win.  That's bullshit.  If we had direct election of the POTUS then you might have a point, but since we have the electoral college system, my vote doesn't mean anything unless I vote for the person who wins my state, and that person is going to be Romney.  Since Obama won't win TN, I might as well vote for a candidate who's positions I support, and that person is Rocky Anderson. 

If I love din a state that is 'in play,' then I might vote for Obama, but I seriously doubt it.  I'm through voting for someone I don't support out of fear that his or her opponent might win.  I'm voting for people who I want to win, not against someone I want to lose.

News About FOX "News," or How to be unbalanced, unfair, and unhinged

We noticed as we flipped past FOX "News" the other night that Michelle Malkin, the woman who says it was cool that we locked up all those damn dirty Japanese American citizens during WW2 because one of them was bound to be a spy and it's okay for her to say that because she is of Asian descent herself, has been subbing for O'Rielly, aka Loofah Lad. It struck us that now that she has crossed the line from being an annoying, asinine, and un-American guest on that network to actually hosting a show on it, that the FOX "News" Channel is not anything less than an organ of the right wing nut bags in this country.

La Malkin, seen here getting ready to spit venom at an unsuspecting child, is nothing more than a right wing apologist who would never find a place hosting a show on any respectable news organization.

But since FOX does not care about being objective she has found a place to spew her hate. That's the liberal media for ya.

But why has been Bill-Oh been gone so much recently? Has he found some one who appreciates loofahs as much as he does? Or is he too busy thinking up new derogatory names for his perceived enemies?Bill-Oh, seen here showing the ladies just what they can expect from him, may be back on the air soon.

In other news about FOX "News," the debate between Salt Lake City Mayor Rocky Anderson and Sean Hannity took place last week and it appears, to all sane people and simians anyway, that Rocky kicked Hannity's scrawny white ass. As Burgess Meredith surely must have said in one of those damned Rocky movies, "Way to go Rock!"

However, it was a quiet week for FOX's John Gibson, he spent the past few days begging any woman who would look his way to mate with him so that he could increase the number of white births in this country.

We're not sure how any woman could refuse a slice of that beefcake, hubba hubba.

And finally the four horse persons of the Apocalypse stand ready to do what ever it is they're supposed to do when the poop hits the Christian fan. They're just waiting for the word from on high or the next commercial break.
