Traitor Joe strikes again

Lieberman now says that there is no need for health insurance reform until we're out of the recession that he helped bring about. That kind of bullshit sounds to me like the idiots in the NRA who crow after every school shooting that, "Now is not the time to talk about gun control."

And now here's a message from the McCain campaign

"My friends, these are tough times. Money is tight for most of you, so Cindy and I wanted to remind you that:

I'm John McCain and I approved this message because I ate horsemeat when I was a POW and it didn't kill me."

Waiting

This tiny little man is my Congressman:
His name is David Davis. He's a rock ribbed conservative hard right wing Republican. He's so far right he makes Dick Cheney look like a damn dirty hippie.

I recently sent him an email asking him to introduce legislation that would strip all contractors doing business in Iraq on behalf of the US government of any and all immunity from prosecution. I asked him to do this so that the people in Blackwater and KBR who are murdering innocent Iraqis and raping their female co workers will be brought to justice. I also asked that after he introduced such legislation that he then resign so that his seat can be taken over by a person who will do the people's business in Washington DC and not be a tool of the multi national corporations.

It's been over a month since I asked him to do these two small things for me. He has done neither and he's not even bothered to write me a letter back telling me why he refuses to do what I asked. It's down right rude of him not to at least reply to me, don't you think?

No comments

I guess Laura Bush is still too hungover after her daughter's wedding to castigate the Chinese government about the way they're handling the earthquake over there. Maybe when she sobers up she'll shoot some of her bitch venom at the Chinese the way she did at the junta who runs Myanmar. Or maybe someone will tell her how her husband fucked up the response to Hurricane Katrina and how he refused to let international help filter down to the people of New Orleans when they needed it most.

Or, and this is the most likely scenario, she'll just blabber on like the out of touch uncaring war mongering lush she is. Yep, that's most likey what she'll do.

Chris Dodd is Nuckin' Futs

Millions of oppressed people who live under dictatorial regimes like those currently in power in Pakistan, Saudi Arabia, and Egypt got some bad news tonight from Chris Dodd (D-CT), and the D in his case stands for Douchebag. In the Democratic party debate in Las Vegas Dodd claimed that actual democracy where people vote is good for us but not good for people in the Middle East. The old idiot claims, and I got to agree with him, that if people in the Muslim dominated countries were allowed true democracy then they would vote for "extremist" Muslim political parties to lead them.


Pardon me Senator Dodd, but you need to realize that oppressed people will, if given the chance in a free and fair election, vote out their oppressors and they will vote in whoever is the polar opposite of whoever was oppressing them. You know kind of like what happened when the Palestinians when given a chance voted for Hamas, a political party that promised to end the years of oppression the people had been under. And kind of like what happened in the USA in 2006 when we thought we were voting in a party that was going to end the years of Republican abuse, but who instead just keep on screwing us over by rolling over for Bush and his toadies.

It makes me sick to think that Dodd wants to be the nominee of the party of JFK and FDR and LBJ and Woodrow Wilson and Shirley Chisholm and of millions of men and women who support the spread of real democracy at home and abroad. It makes me even sicker to think of him taking the oath of office and becoming our next President. Thank goodness he, like his twin brother Joe "I never net a corporate donation I didn't like" Biden, doesn't have a hope in hell of being the nominee.

Dodd is another career politician who has been corrupted by his years and years in the Washington DC fishbowl. It takes a hell of a lot of nerve and gall to say that democracy is fine for us but not for anyone who votes in people who we don't like. Holy shit, you know who that sounds like? The fucking crook he wants to replace. I'd be willing to bet that if by some hellish miracle that Dodd was elected President that he'd just go ahead and keep Condi on as Sec. of State because that shit he said tonight sounds exactly like what she'd say.


Personally I welcome free and fair election everywhere in the world. I'd welcome the day when people in Jordan or Egypt or Saudi Arabia voted the Muslim Brotherhood into office, because if that happened then the assholes in DC would have to learn to deal with people from the Middle East as equals and not as underlings who are only fit to give us their oil so we can have cheap gas. Too bad there isn't a recall procedure whereby people can get rid of idiotic US Senators because if there was, I'd move to CT tomorrow and lead the fight to get that old fart removed from office. And then I'd go to CA and help them get rid of that traitor Diane Feinstein.

Holy crap, I hope you're still alive after this

Person 1: What's up with the FISA debate thing?

Person 2: You got me.

Person 1: I'd hate it if Bush used his dictatorial powers to spy on me.

Person 2: Me too. So you going to tell me what's up with that FISA debate in Congress?

Person 1: I can't.

Person 2: Why not?

Person 1: Because Americans will die if I do.

Person 2: You're kidding right?

Person 1: Nope.

Person 2: That's fecked up.

Person 1: I'm sorry but I have to turn you in to the Homeland Security Department now. You must be a spy or a terrorist if you question what our leaders are doing. You damn traitor.

And now a word from General Petraus

Good news

Tom Delay says we're winning in Iraq!

With victories like this I hope we never ever fight another war.

Update:
Hey Tom, how about you tell this mother who lost her son in the war that we are winning. How about you have the balls to look her in the eye and tell her what a great thing this war is.

Oh, I forgot, you only talk to lobbyists, to your pals in the corporate media, and to your attorneys. I hope the baby Jesus smites your ignorant ass sometime soon.

Why is it that...

...in the aftermath of the VA Tech shootings that the NRA and the Republicans immediately said that the last thing we needed then was more restrictive gun control laws?

Why is it that when that bridge collapsed that Bush said that the states didn't need any more money to fix stuff like that?

Why is it that when that mine caved in that business people went on TV and shouted that the last thing American business needed was more restrictive regulations?

Why is it that in the aftermath of the massive toy recall that the twat who Chris Matthews was crushing on says that China is our friend and that if we are not nice to them then they may stop making our shitty toys and thereby raising prices at Wal-Mart?


Any sane person knows that guns need to be regulated more strictly, just ask the parents of any person shot dead in this country.

Any sane person knows that if we were not wasting billions on the wars of terror that we could use that money to fix bridges, roads, and schools, you know that stuff we all use.

Any sane person knows that big business will never do anything to safeguard their workers unless forced to do so by the government.

Any sane person knows that if we moved manufacturing back here that prices will rise but so will wages.

Holy crap, we need a change from the bizarro Bush years. And I pray (though I'm not sure who I'm praying to since I am a non believer) that people are not stupid enough to think Hillary "Former Wal-Mart Board of Directors member" Clinton will be any different than Bush.

Oh that Karl!

On the hate fest known as the Rush Limbo Show! Karl Rove said that Bush's critics are: “sort of elite, effete snobs who can’t hold a candle to this guy. What they don’t like about him is that he is common sense, that he is Middle America.”

I hate to be the one to bust your bubble Karl but you, Bush, and Rush Limbo are the effete snobs not us. You guys are all part of the huge corporate media/govenrment machine not us. We're ordinary tax paying voting citizens, we're not rich white guys who hold the keys to power. Our hands are not dirty with the blood of millions of dead Afghans, Iraqis, and Americans. We understand that you three have led this country down a rat hole in your war of terror and that you three work to divide this country to keep yourselves rich and in power. We're not the ones smoking big fat cigars and jetting around to Maine, Florida, Texas, Washington DC.


Nope. Not us.


And we're not the ones who will go down in history as the drug addicted radio talk show host who has no morals, as the alleged mastermind of the permanent Republican majority that never came to be, and as the worst most incompetent President in the history of the United States.


Hey Karl, how about you grow a pair and go on The Daily Show before you slink off to Texas with your tail beyween your legs. Or better yet how about in the interest of fairness, oh shit you don't know what fairness is do you?, you sit down with fellow Texan Bill Moyers and have a chat with him. Us folks out in Middle America would love to see that.

Meet the Kuhns

This is Asheville, NC couple Mark and Deborah Kuhn sitting on their front porch exercising their Constitutional right to free speech and they were recently arrested for doing so. Perhaps some of you may not be familiar with this case and to be honest I was not familiar with is until a few days ago, but you need to be familiar with it because one of these days it may happen to you or me or to anyone who dares to have an opinion counter to those of the people in power today in our country.

Mark and Deborah put the flag upside down on their front porch because an upside down American flag is a universal signal of distress. They felt in distress over the way our country is being run and because of the quagmire in Iraq and Afghanistan. They blame, and rightly so, our stubborn Idiot in Chief for causing them the sense of distress. Now many people do not understand that while it may be a distress signal to fly the flag upside down, it is not against the law to do so. But, technically speaking, when they attached the picture of our Chickenhawk in Chief and those other papers to the flag, then they did break the law.


As you can imagine some people in Mark and Deborah's neighborhood and city in general did not like them displaying the flag in that manner. One person got so mad about it he called the police and complained. On July 18, 2007 an Asheville City police officer went to their home and asked the couple what the heck was going on and if were they okay. The couple informed the officer that yes they were fine and they were only exercising their right to free speech. They informed him that they were displaying the flag upside down as a way to protest the wars of terror on Iraq and Afghanistan. The officer then told the couple that of course they had every right to protest the war in whatever legal manner they chose and he left.

Case closed thought the Kuhns. But they were wrong, so very wrong.

The male who called the police on the Kuhns is a man by the name of Mark Radford. He is a former police deputy and he is also currently a Staff Sargent in the National Guard. He was not satisfied with the results of his complaint to the Asheville City police so he took his now personal vendetta against the Kuhns a step further. A week after the city police did nothing and rightly so about the Kuhns, Radford got one of his National Guard underlings, who is also a Buncombe County Sheriff's Deputy, by the name of Brian Scarborough, to go out to talk to the Kuhns and to presumably to make them take down the flag that he found so offensive.

Scarborough and his partner raced over to the Kuhns house on July 25, 2007. He walked up on the porch and demanded to know why they were displaying the flag upside down. He told them that since they had attached the picture and the other papers to the flag they were desecrating it. The couple then proceeded to take the picture of our Moron in Chief off the flag, as well as the other stuff. Deputy Scarborough then demanded that they give him some form of ID, which the Kuhns did not have to do, nor do you if you are arrested for any reason. The couple refused and they went inside their home and they locked the door. Scarborough then proceeded to kick in the glass in, open the door, and he forced his way into the Kuhns home. He chased Mark Kuhn around his house, while Deborah screamed for help and called 911, and out finally he chased him outside of the house.

After the deputies threatened to taser his hysterical wife Mark Kuhn finally gave up and surrendered, as you can see in the picture below. Both husband and wife were arrested for desecrating the flag and resisting arrest.
Deputy Scarborough claimed later that he did not kick the door in and force his way in their house, he said that Mr. Kuhn slammed the door on his hand and that's when the glass broke and that's when he ran after Mr. Kuhn. Unfortunately for Deputy Scarborough there were many witnesses who backed up the Kuhn's story 100%.


When all this shit hit the fan the Buncombe County, and if that name sounds kind of familiar to you it's because the phrase 'Bunco Artist,' which means con man, is derived from the name Buncombe in Buncombe County, the Sheriff's Dept. said that it was their duty to investigate all crimes in the county, whether they occur in the city or in the county. They stuck by Deputy Scarborough, who by the way was just back from Iraq and probably suffering from Post Traumatic Stress Disorder, and they said they planned to prosecute the Kuhns to the fullest extent of the law.
But thankfully cooler heads prevailed and as of yesterday, 8-3-2007, all charges against the Kuhns have been dropped. You can read more in depth coverage of the plight of the Kuhns here and here.

What gets me about this case is that this Radford guy got so pissed off that the City police did not do what he wanted so he went and got his National Guard bud to do his dirty work for him. Radford did not have the balls or decency to speak to the Kuhns face to face, he had to do it through the various police agencies. And to top it all off he followed his National Guard BFF Dep. Scarborough out to watch him arrest the Kuhns and it's been reported that when he saw Deborah Kuhn hauled off to jail that he shouted at her, "Yeah, go to jail baby!" It turns out that Radford is also Scarborough's direct superior in their National Guard unit. He reminds me of the little kid who gets pissed that his mommy won't make his siblings do what he wants so he goes and snitches to his daddy as well.

I'm willing to bet anything that sooner rather than later this Radford guy puts on his white sheet and his white hood and he and his KKK, oops I mean National Guard, buddies show up one more time at the Kuhns.

It makes me sick to my stomach that people like Radford are helping their President try to scare people in to keeping silent about the war. If we don't shut the hell up and get in line and believe and act and be more like them then we're gonna get ours. And by "ours" I mean a cell in Gitmo. If we don't all fall in line and fall for this,

then we're all gonna get rounded up.

You think I'm jumping to conclusions don't you? You think it can't happen here? Well, go talk to the Kuhns and to the people in the anti war movement that the FBI admits to spying on. Then maybe if you have time go look up all the laws that our Traitor to the Constitution in Chief has changed so he can "fight" the terrorists here at home. It not only can happen here, it is happening here.

And if what happened to the Kuhn's doesn't scare you, then you're not a patriotic American and you stand with this ass hat:

Excuse me Bob?

From Think Progress:

Appearing on Bloomberg Television this weekend, Novak said of the YouTube debate, “I thought it was really disgusting. … The reporters were terrible but this was ludicrous.” Novak argued, “You know when we did away with the monarchy and went through democracy, there was a lot of fear that this sort of thing would happen. It took 200 years but we got there.”

Man this old fart hates everybody! He hates bloggers because they don't read his bull shit and bow down to him and his corporate masters. He hates YouTube because out of touch assholes like him don't dominate it. He hates the people who asked the questions on the YouTube debates because they aren't "journalists" in the pay of corporate media like him. And he probably hates puppies, flowers, cute little kids, and sunsets too.
I love his line, "...there was a lot of fear that this sort of thing would happen..." Really Bob? Fear? Really? Who was fearful of citizens asking questions of the people who want to lead them? You? Your corporate media paymasters? Or was it all rich white men who've been assisting the white power elites foist their corrupt power agenda on this country from day one?

Bob you've been against everything the people of this country have wanted for the past 50 years. You were for the Vietnam war, for Nixon, against equal rights for women and minorities, you were for letting people with HIV/AIDS suffer and die needlessly, you were against divesting from South Africa and freeing Nelson Mandela, you've been on the side of the rich white guys all along, you are for the wars on Iraq and Afghanistan, you are for King George the Chickenhawk, you are against common people asking questions and daring to want to help shape this country, and worst of all Bob, you are against me.
Honestly though Bob, I could care less what you say because you're right you'll be physically dead soon. Your body will finally catch up with your sense of humanity and your basic human decency, those two things died along time ago. I never read what you wrote and I could not stomach your inhumane visage on TV so I won't shed a tear or be a bit sorry when you go down for your dirt nap. We bloggers will get the last laugh, we'll still be alive long after you're gone and we'll be helping shape public opinion and public policy while you rot in the ground, so nah, nah, nah.

Rumors, we got rumors

There may be no truth to this rumor but a little bird told me that when the FBI raided Senator Ted Stevens (R) Alaska's home they found a cupboard full of these: And a whole shelf full of these, turns out he had Volumes 1 through 20.

I'd like to remind Mr. Steven's handlers that if he gets too upset over having his food and porn taken away there is one way to settle his grumpy old ass down:

Nice Try Punk

So King George the Punk Ass thinks he's gonna take all the assets from people who disagree with him on his disaster that we know as the wars on Iraq and Afghanistan. You got to hand it to him, he's got balls if he thinks he'll ever get away with actually trying that on someone. My blog buddies D Cup and Dr. Zaius have written about this latest bit of insanity and I decided to let it lay until I saw this story on the Washington Post's website.

Please allow me to explain what President Chickenhawk is actually trying to do with this unconstitutional power grab. What the asshole is trying to do is to silence debate and criticism of his insane handling of this stupid useless war. He's trying to scare us into shutting up, just like the King and Queens of old Europe did, just like Popes who used their power of excommunication did, just like all bullies and little tin despots try to do when people stand up to them.

Let there be no doubt that this is another attempt to grab more power and to consolidate his power over the other branches of government. With this order he cuts the judiciary out of the picture, although since he's packed the courts with his cronies there is no doubt they'd rule in his favor if we could sue him for this, and he cuts the legislative branch out of the picture. In the quaint olden days, you remember those days, those are the ones just before President Chickenshit rode in to power on the back of a bad ballot in Florida, Congress made laws that allowed the President to do this sort of thing, not anymore though. It's all Executive branch all the time now.

*****Quick Civics Lesson On How Our Government is Supposed to work****

1) Congress makes the laws

2) The President enforces them

3) The Supreme Court interprets them

With this order here's how it works under Bush:

1) He now makes the laws

2) He does what the fuck he likes to anyone who disagrees with him

3) Congress rolls over and the Supreme Court looks the other way

If you have any doubt that he'd use to order against loyal Americans who have the gall to disagree with him then you need to remember that he is the man who said he was a uniter and not a divider but when elected he then proceeded to divide the country to get re-elected, he is the man who said he was the environmental President but when elected he turned over care of the planet to ExxonMobil, Enron, General Motors, and Halliburton, this is the man who took us to war based on lies, this is the man who's every decision during his disastrous war has been wrong, this is the man who said that if anyone in his administration leaked Valerie Plame's identity as a CIA agent would be fired and prosecuted but then he commuted Scooter's prison sentence and who will in all probability pardon the lying justice obstructing scoundrel, this is the man who invokes "executive privilege" when confronted by a Congress who dares to investigate him and his illegal activities, and this is the man who told us that God wants him to be President.

Oh yeah, he also alleged to have said the Constitution was just a "god damned piece of paper."
And if you think that he won't hesitate to deny you your hard earned assets and your right to haebus corpus if you are a citizen who was born in the USA, then you are sadly mistaken. If he declares you to be an enemy combatant then he can put all the might of the US Government into wiping your records clean and to then claiming that you are an illegal alien and that you should be in Gitmo.

So now we see what he's made of and what then are we made of? Where is the public outcry against his usurpation of power? Where is the indignation? The outrage at his shenanigans? It's almost silent out here in purple America. He's scared most of us into keeping quiet, or he's got his buddies in big business making damn sure you work harder and harder for less and less. He also got us so divided that some people in this country would gladly snitch on other people, including members of their own family, for being disloyal to King George the Punk Ass. I have a cousin who told me once that I was a traitor for speaking out against the war and that I should shut up and let President Blood Thirsty Greedy Bastard do what he pleases. When I tried to remind this cousin that the Constitution guaranteed my right to free speech and that my free speech includes speaking out against a President who runs rough shod over civil liberties and human rights, she blocked all my emails. And for all I know she probably turned me in to the Homeland Security Department, the FBI, and the CIA for being a traitor.
Well King George the Needle Dick, nice try but as long as I draw breath I will speak out against you and your war on us and the Iraqi and Afghan people. You do not scare me into shutting up about your trampling of the Constitution and your digusting power grabs. You fucked up by taking us to war and you fuck up more every day that we stay over there occupying Iraq and Afghanistan. Your place in history is assured, you've been wrong about everything, most people want you gone, and more and more of us want to see you and your henchman impeached. I'd like to show you where your reputation and your place in history are:

The coporate media and right wing pundits still don't get it

Howdy Doody Gregory still doesn't get it. It's not only the left who wants us out of this disastrous war, it's most people across this nation, it's people from "red" states, from "blue" states, it's men, it's women, it's the AMERICAN PEOPLE. Get your nose out of the corporate fat cat asses that pay you to delude the people and realize that most all Americans, Iraqis, Afghans, and sane people world wide want us out of the disastrous war of terror.

And you know what Howdy? People on the left, and I detect in your voice a note that says you think that being left is a bad thing, know how to win the war of terror. We win it by stopping our support of regimes that oppress their people, we win it by reigning in the greedy multi nationals, and we win it by stopping Bush/Cheney's plans to bring more corporate control to our lives, we win it by taking back our media from people like you and Tim Russert and Chris Matthews and Bill O'Reilly and Ann Coulter, we win it by taking back our country, we win it by treating the rest of the world like we would like to be treated, we win it by repealing laws that discriminate on the basis of sex, race, and sexuality, we win it by acting like sane people who respect one another and the planet we live on.

But honestly Howdy, I understand why you say such insane inane things on TV. You have to look tough so that your corporate masters will keep paying you to confuse people so they don't rock the boat or question the status quo. And I know that deep in your little heart that you know one day Murdoch will take over NBC and you want to make sure you have a place in his evil empire.

But just so you know Howdy, I have not fallen for your bullshit, I never will, and I love it that that makes you and your bosses out of your heads crazy.

And now a word from George W. Bush

Mah fellow Amurikins. I have good news and I have bad news. I will give you the good news first.



Some of ya'll who is real quick in the brain sees that I am now your Pope as well as bein' yer PresidentKing. I now have power over yer souls 'n' shit as well as over yer bodies and minds.


I am naming myself Pope W the first. Catchy huh?



Anyhoo, now that I'm head of the one true faith that means I am, much like I was before, infallible. That means Ah kin not make mistakes and everything I says is true. I now come before you to tell you that Cardinal What'shisface,

yep, that's him, was right in sayin' that if any of ya'll say anything bad against the war then ya'll is givin' aid and comfort to the enemies of the USA and the one true faith. Heck, I been sayin' that shit all along. So now since what I say is automatically right, what my peeps say is automatically right too.

I will begin each day by extracommunicating any of you smug intellectuals and bloggers and Keith Olbermann and yes even other Republicans who speak out against the war. This is a holy crusade we is on over there so ya'll just shut up or you're going to hell. Do I really mean it? Hells to the yeah I do.

We are making progress over there, we have turned a corner, we have met the enemy and he is us, oops I mean we be he. The enemy I mean.

So just remember that I am in charge now, of this government, the wars, and of the one true faith so ya'll just kick back and do what I say and no one gets hurt. Unless you live in Iraq, or Afghanistan, or are black, or you is a female, or you oppose me. You got that Amurika?

Okay, that was the good news.

Now for the bad news, I done seem to have lost mah big ass pointy hat. Any of ya'll seen it? Aww, fuck it, ya'll can kiss my ring and my ass without it.

Maybe the wrong Edwards is running

Thanks Elizabeth. Thanks for standing up to that bully Ann Coulter. You've got more class and backbone that harpy ever dreamed of having. All she can do is spew her hate. But you stood up to that bully and you made her look like the idiot she is.

We all know what happens when you stand up to a bully.

First they get mad,

then they try to push back,

then when they see you won't back down, they whine,
but when they see that no one listens to them anymore, start to slink away.
And we see them for what they are, little pipsqueaks,

tiny specks not worth stepping on.


But sometimes it's so fun to do what we shouldn't.

SPLAT!

And presto, no more bully!

Thanks again Elizabeth.

More corporate media whores slag us progressive bloggers

By not listening to us and believing everything we say the left wing bloggers are destroying America. How dare they form their own opinions?

I agree. It's treason that they are allowed to speak and spread their vile progressive opinions and facts. Do they not realize that white men in the media know more than they do? Damn them for not paying attention to us.

It's a crime I tell ya! Here I am on FOX and I'm also on NPR, so that makes me doubly smart and them doubly wrong for not listening to me and believing everything I spew. Guys, look at my bulging eyes, the more they bulge the more American needs to turn away from the bloggers and back to us in the corporate media.

Grrr, blogging bad. FOX news good. Wall Street Journal good.

They should be tossed in Gitmo, the dirty sons of bitches.



They disgust me with their whining about ending the war and making the world a more fair place for all. I despise them.

Hey, most of them stopped paying attention. What do we do now?

Let's turn off the internets!

Hey come back, I'll show you my tits! Come back! Please?

Hey you three whiny bitches, kiss my left wing ass.
