Meet the face of class war in the USA

This wealthy bitch who supervised the layoffs of thousands of people while CEO at Hewlett Packard and nearly bankrupted the company before leaving with a huge severance package says that unions and public employees have too much power and are too rich.  That's right, she ran a major tech company into the ground, spent millions trying to buy a US Senate seat in California, and now she wants you to know unions and public employees have too much power and money.

Fuck her.  She's a horrible woman who is exactly what is wrong with the current Republican party.  She doesn't want to pay a cent more in taxes and she wants those who are already overburdened by taxes to pay more so she can pay even less.  She's got hers, and by gawd she'll use it to make sure you never get yours or any of hers.

Her hypocrisy is astounding and her greed knows no bounds.  If her cancer came back and killed her, I would not shed a single tear for her.

An important message from your beloved Dr. Monkerstein

My fellow Americans I have called this poolside speech because I want to talk to you about a very important issue, immigration. It has been on my mind a lot lately and I have posted one piece about it already.

Incredibly enough after that post hit the internets some people still insist that the flow of Americans who were born in other American countries into the USA is a bad thing. It is mainly to these people that I address my remarks. All of you others may listen in if you like, if not feel free to fix yourself something drink. May I suggest a fruity Mai Tai?

Everyone ready? Ahh good. Here we go:

I heard an interview last night on NPR with some older people who were attending a Reich wing Republican affair of some sort in rural Georgia. They were assailing their Reich wing Republican senators for not being tough enough on immigration.

These old fogeys went on to say that their main concerns were the security of this nation and the flow of people from other American countries into this one, although to be a bit fair to them they used the term 'illegal immigrants.' As these paper skinned soon to be Soylent Green fossils spoke, I realized that they did not understand who was at fault here, they foolishly blamed our 'lax policy' on immigration for the flow of so called illegals into this nation. They said that the immigrants were taking our jobs and using up all our precious health care.

They are, of course, as wrong as wrong can be, misguided, and uninformed as to who the real culprits behind the health care crisis are.

First of all, I have already addressed how we can end terrorism forever in this previous post.

Second, the real culprits behind the health care crisis in this great nation of ours are not the many fine Americans who come from other American countries to live and work here,

the real culprits are the greedy (at this point I would usually call them "greedy pig fucking corporations", but I can no longer insult the many fine swine of this nation) insurance corporations, the scum sucking HMOs, and the devilish pharmaceutical corporations.

These bastards caused this crisis due to their pursuit of profits. They charge obscene amounts of money for medical insurance premiums, ever higher prices for drugs, and outrageous amounts for hospital stays or emergency room visits. They keep going up on their prices so they can make more and more fucking money while they screw us out of decent medical care. The little kid in the emergency room who's parents came from Mexico seeking a better life than the one we and NAFTA screwed them out of is not the cause of the health care crisis in this nation.

Take the profit motive out of health care, like Dennis Kucinich wants us to do, and create a single payer health care system for all Americans and see if that doesn't solve the health care crisis.

Then when that's done let's repeal NAFTA, reign in the out of control greedy pig fu...(damn old habits are hard to break) corporations, and start treating other people like we want to be treated and see if that doesn't stop the immigration problem.

If you can't see that the problem is that this bastard, he's the CEO of United Healthcare, is making far too much money, then there is something wrong with you and you should go to a hospital, if you can afford it that is.

That's all I have time for now, I need to get back to my pool so I can practice my half gainer with a lemon twist.

More Corporate Crap, guess who it lands on?

You got it Sparky, you and me. Yet again. I'm tempted to write that the pigs are "at it again" but then I stop and think and then I remember that they never fucking stopped.

We watched a great little gem of a documentary on Sundance tonight called The Refugees of the Blue Planet. Basically it was about the refugees that are made when a corporation gets to toss people off the land and take it over and the refugees who are forced to live elsewhere due to climate change, which is caused by corporate greed and burning fossil fuels. According to the filmmakers these types of refugees now outnumber the ones we are used to, you know the ones who get displaced by war, which is usually waged on behalf of corporations.

They focused on some islanders in the Maldives who are losing their homes due to rising sea levels, some Canadians in Alberta who are losing their homes due to oil companies drilling, and on some Brazilians who lost their homes and farms because a paper company wanted to build a eucalyptus on their land.

Looks nice huh? All those trees. Well guess what? These eucalyptus trees suck the ground dry and the people who live near them are forbidden to cut them. The corporate pigs use literally tons of pesticides to kill bugs that might harm their trees. And the company that grows these trees forced thousands of farmers off their farms so they could grow more of these trees. You know what they make out of these trees? Pulp for paper. And 95% of that pulp is for the North American and European markets. The paper they print their obscene yearly reports on, the paper they use for their advertising, the paper that they want us to buy, is made from the trees that are breaking the backs of many of our Brazilian American brothers and sisters.

Now in Canada the oil companies have pretty much free reign to drill where ever they want. And when they drill, especially in Alberta, they hit what is known as "sour gas" which is a highly poisonous gas. If some of this gas leaks out while they drill for oil, it can kill you almost instantly. They make the oil companies draw up evacuation plans in case some leaks out, but everyone knows that if enough leaks out, everyone in the area will be dead before any bogus plan can be implemented. The sad thing about this is that the government of Canada and the oil companies could care less about the ordinary citizens fear about the drilling and the sour gas leaks. They just want all the fucking oil they can drag out of the fucking earth so they can fucking sell it to us here in the US of fucking A.

Now what they're gonna tell us when we complain about it is this, "We need the oil, we need to make gas out of it. We need that pulp to make more and more paper. If we stop then the economy will grind to a halt. We must have more, we must make more, and damn you for saying anything different."

You know what? These were the same pigs who said that ending child labor was a bad idea, that labor unions were a bad idea, that the 40 hour week was a bad idea, that putting people before profits was a bad idea.

You remember the things they thought were good ideas? They thought that unlimited use of pesticides that ruin our drinking water, World Wars 1 and 2, the Korean war, the Viet Nam war, the war on Iraq and Afghanistan were good ideas. They think that raping our planet is a good idea. They think that helping the Bush Junta silence all dissent is a good idea. They think that lying to us about what we actually need and want is a good idea. They think that fucking over anyone who does not live in North America or western Europe is a good idea. They think that not paying you a decent wage for your the labor that makes them rich is a good idea. They think that them not paying taxes is a good idea.

We say: stop the madness, stop the mindless consumption, stop falling for their lies, stop being their partner in raping the planet and in their abuse of others, and stop voting for the bastards who support their bullshit.

We can fight them, there are things we can do, all of us. We can and should: shop local, eat at locally owned restaurants, buy organic food when possible, buy locally grown food and support politicians who support a sustainable viable future.

We've listened to rich white pigs who do not have our best interests at heart for long enough. It's time we took our country, our market place, and our planet back. Let's stop acting like the pigs want us to and start taking care of the things that matter to us.

Oh Cap'n, My Cap'n

I'm sending out a big heapin' helpin' of thanks to my liege and my pirate leader Cap'n Dyke today. She was the only blogger to write about the corporate shenanigans that Bill Moyers also talked about on his show the other night. I'm right there with ya Cap'n, lets keel haul all the greedy bastards that don't die when we blow their ships apart with the big ass cannons aboard your ship. I'm volunteering to jump over on the smoldering wreckage of their corporate greed buckets with a knife in my teeth, round up the rich white pigs, and bring them back aboard your/our ship Cap'n.

If any of you have not heard about the latest outrages committed by corporations against us then let me give you a crash course in what the sneaky fucks have been up to:

Remember when all the airlines went into bankruptcy following 9/11? They said they had to because they lost so much money when they could not fly for those few days and they lost so much business because the public was skittish about flying. Well, not too long after that they sought like hell to get wage and benefit cuts from their employees. The unions caved because they did not want their members to lose their jobs, the bankruptcy courts said, "Sure, cut their pay and benefits if you need to." Well, by gosh and by golly, the airlines did it. They cut pilots, stewardess and stewards pay, as well as the pay and benefits of the mechanics. But who did not take a pay cut during those times? Who actually got richer as a result of those cuts? The CEO's of the airlines. And now that most all of them have come out of bankruptcy, the CEO's are getting huge bonuses and huge amounts of stock, stocks that are soaring in price because the airlines are out of bankruptcy by the way. Some of them are also getting free medical and dental insurance for life even if they leave the company. What about those workers who gave them big wage and benefit concessions? They are getting dick, diddly squat, nada, zip, not a god damned thing. Oh wait, they get to keep their jobs, which are worth way less than they were years ago. Nice deal huh?

The CEO's of Halliburton, Kellog Brown and Root, Blackwater USA, Northrup Grummond, McDonald Douglass, and other corporations love the war of terror on Iraq and Afghanistan. They get no bid contracts and make obscene amounts of money off the killing of innocent people, oh sorry about that Paul Harvey, I know you hate it when people call them innocent people, but fuck you old man, they are innocent people, and off the deaths of our men and women in uniform. Everyday we spend in that disastrous war over there is another day that those pigs make money off us. That's right, us, remember this my fellow Americans, that $100 per load of laundry that we pay Halliburton, the money to buy those trucks they blow up instead of fixing, the money they pay to 5 star hotels to house visiting 'dignitaries' like Joe 'Backstabbin' Lieberman and John 'Walkin' in Baghdad' McCain, all comes from you and me, the taxpayers. We get to pay to make the world less safe, make the rich fucks richer, and to stay in a war that most of this country hates and wants out of. Nice deal huh?

This puss bag of a human being, and we hang our heads in shame when he tells anyone he is from our state, said the other day that if he gets elected President that he will take steps to make this country great again. Guess what his first step is? He says that corporations are hamstrung by high taxes and he wants to make sure they get cut. Holy shit, what kind of bizzaro world is he living in? Fred, listen up, corporations are not paying too much in taxes nor are they paying too many taxes. They DO NOT PAY ENOUGH TAXES. We need to stop coddling the corporations like we coddle, well, corporations. It must be all his years as a corporate lobbyist coming back to him. That's right boys and girls, when he was not the laziest Senator Tennessee ever saw, and when he was not "acting" on TV shows and in movies, he was a CORPORATE LOBBYIST, and he dorked a few blonde chicks with huge boobs when he was not helping companies make even more money at our expense. And he wants to be our next President. Nice deal huh?

Hey America, who was our last President that came from a corporate background? I'm blanking on his name but I remember what he looks like:

Yep. That's him. How's that corporate connection going for ya now America? If I'm not mistaken, then he's just been doing to the country what his buddies in the corporate world have been doing to us all along. And you remember his buddies don't you America? No? Let me remind you of a couple:

Kenny Boy Lay, this prick nearly was our country's Sec. of Energy. Now he's dead and so are the 401k's of almost everybody who worked for him.

White Collar Criminal McCrimestein, this Enron asshole practically had a fucking key to the Lincoln bedroom. Now the only thing key he's got is the one to his chastity belt and his cell mate just might take it from him.

So it's no wonder I'm with the Cap'n. And I'm just waiting to hear the order to overthrow the greedy pigs. Until then Cap'n, I'll keep me powder dry and me blade as sharp as sharp can be. Arrrrgh.
