And Foxtards Don't Count

Listening to the news from India, was there anyone out there who seriously thought:

Thank God Dubya had the foresight and courage to invade Iraq.
Other wise that could have been us.

?????

Moved...

but not done. Damn the wife and I are getting too old for this shit.

It was all I could fucking do to get up and down the stairs this morning to get the dogs out: Knee, back and feet all competing for the "I hurt him the most" award. Yes, we have a dog door, Yes they lived here before, NO I don't trust them not to (re) christen the carpets; especially George. (No he's not named after Dubya; he just acts like him sometimes) And we hired young bucks to move the BIG shit. You know you're getting old when you trust someone else to move your flat-screen TeeVee.

Odd: We hadn't really intended to complete moving this weekend; we were just going to take it easy and haul small(er) shit "for now." We got into it and on Friday I convinced the wife that we should just go for it and get it done. Living in two houses.... what's here? what's there? really sucks. We weren't sure we could get a moving crew at the end of the month on one day's notice but we did. Got two young (compared to me, anyway) guys who got right to it and finished in just over 5 hours with only one short break for water and a couple of Satsumas.

They spent about one whole hour, or more, trying to get a work table and a hutch piece out from the old basement. I have no fucking idea how the other movers got them down there, but these guys and I could NOT figure out how to get them out. And of course I'd already moved my tools. We gotta go back and clean carpets, so I can take the work table apart and see what I can do with the hutch. It's old, and we scratched it up, but it's solid pine, not particle shit. I hope I can save it.

Clean the old place; unpack at the new/older place; wait for cable. Damn! None til Wednesday. Had the 'puter moved yesterday when I was listening to how Dub-Fuck was going to address the nation regarding the crisis in India. Like he'd have anything to say that a thinking person would want to hear. And Jennifer Anniston left Brad Pitt for me. Riiiight. Maybe someday I'll figure out remote posting, but for now, that shit just seems so "step-daughterish." To much of a bad taste in my mouth from bailing US out from HER $4-500 cell phone fuckups. Combine "Trivial Pursuit" with cell phone/'puter technology and you have her life style in a nutshell; heaven forbid she miss a girly giggle, or a "you're hot."

With that I'll quit before I ruin my day.

WelI, I Thought I Was Back

The wife and I went from busting our asses to get ready to go on vacation, to busting our asses cleaning up undone crap from our time away, to relaxing..? Hell no; now we're moving. Back into the house we were trying to sell. I remember when we moved out, I was in mourning so to speak, saying I would likely never live in a house that nice ever again. Our neighbor reminded me of that the other day: Not only a house that nice, but the same house.

I doesn't make sense to make two house payments, with one sitting vacant. It doesn't make sense to keep dropping the price, especialy during a panic. The wife and I are both working (still): She for a health care non-profit think tank/association/bureacracy/lobby shop... and me for one of the last manufacturers in Seattle, Washington and (with all due respect to Driftglass) the US (at least so it seems), but in this economy...? I don't count on anything.

Oh we did have at least one offer that I know of: It was a total fucking insult. I was talking to my sister (Another fucking story here but), who lives and with her husband owns a few houses in Reno, and the same thing's happened to her: The vultures come by and hoping you're in an upside down situation, make an offer that's 10-15 cents on the dollar. The redistribution of wealth that the refuckyoucans ignore (because it's the one THEY want), but that happens in every recession/depression, is certainly happening now.

I knew if I got started, there'd be no stopping me....

Who am I kidding? If I had a few hundred thousand in disposible bucks I'd be making offers too.
There's only so much land out there, and they ain't making any more; if the climate keeps warming, we'll have less. I'm not going to kid myself that, I'd buy houses and renegotiate things to keep people living in them. Maybe I would in the beginning, but greed is universal, and I'm not a fool enough to think that one, two, three.... more houses would be enough. I'd want to make money and buy more, and to do that would mean I'd need to rent at a profit, and to do that would likely mean there'd be people who'd be out of the house (and on the street) no matter what happened.

Is it possible that we all have this same warfare going on inside us? A war between our "do-gooder," bleeding heart Liberal and the greedy, rapacious conservatard?

My sister used to be a liberal. I love her dearly, respect her in many respects, but she gets scarier by the day. I will say this: Sh called me last night and she's not pouting. She says she's all behind our new president and hopes his administration will be successful. At digging us out of the hole, our fratboy, fucktard, preznit select and his Refuckyoucan minions have put us in...? She won't go that far.

We didn't get into the pros and cons of why it's OK for working taxpayers to foot the bill to keep mismanaged banks and investors afloat, but automakers should be on their own.

That's what's distressing to me. To me it's as plain as the nose on my face. This country has been stood on it's head (During reagan, bush I) and stuck in a bucket of shit (During dubya), but she thinks I'm full of shit (her term was bovine excrement) when I point out the obvious: Our present economic state is the DIRECT result of conservatard hands-off, free-market, deregulatory policies and practices. Just like back in the Republican (Great) Depression, the Republican Panic of 1870 and the Reagan Recession(s). To her, that's bullshit? History is bullshit? FACTS are bullshit? ???

I damn near cry when I get off the phone with her.

I saw truly bad things happening to her back in 2000 when she expressed her "hope" in dubya saying, "Maybe now we'll get some conservative judges." ec-fucking-scuse me? ??? Of nine Supremes, Six were refuckyoucan appointments and you want Conservative judges? "Are you sure you don't mean Nazis?" <== yes, I asked her that. "Good conservatives." "If there Were some, maybe, we'd have some."

The republican party has lost it's way: It's not conservative enough.

She considers going libertarian. "Ron Paulism: Slash and Burn?" Pick an arbtrary date, like say 1860, turn on your way-back machine and get rid of every position that exists now, but didn't exist back then? ??? Why stop there? What was wrong with government in 1812? or 1790? ??? Was 1860 the last time we had a Dept of War as opposed to Defense? Maybe that's what Libs believe is "honesty in governement."

Talking to her hurts, sometimes.

The problem with "the housing bubble" is the people who took out loans/mortgages they couldn't afford. Forget, I guess, that requirements/regulations were changed to the point of absurdity, to fuel an economy of smoke and mirrors: retail buying and flipping properties. Never mind the unregulated "non-insurance" "credit default swap" market created to innoculate the greedy assholes who sold and bought "Mortgage Securities." Now THERE'S an oxymoron if I ever saw one: Mortgage security. Smoke and mirrors.



She was shocked at how little documentation was required during her last house purchase. Because she had bought houses before and had higher expectations. As opposed to your average first time buyer; I have NO fucking clue what's required to buy a house. All I know is to ask them/myself, "Can I make the payments?" Problem with that is: ARMs; Adjustable rates that often were hidden from buyers. Problem is that some banks/lenders will not reveal what the payment will be untill the loan is accepted, and YES I ran into that once, when I considered a bank loan to replace a dealer loan on a truck. I had sense enough to assume that a 2-yr loan would have payments twice as high as a 4-yr loan. So I walked. And listened to, "You're going to be paying SOoooo much more in interest if you don't change loans." And having your truck repoed is better?

Some times things really are a simple as they seem.

The wife is packing; I better go. Anyway....

Anyone know of a research project looking for an antidote for conservatardation? One I can donate to?

PS Happy Thanksgiving (Turkey Day) everyone.

I'm Baaaaa aaaaack

Bummer, eh?

Well thanks to the two bestest brothers-in-law in the world, the wife and I had a wonnnnnderful time in Maui. A couple days of wind and rain, with a storm on it's way as we were leaving, but the rest of the time, no hustle or bustle, just fun in the sun.

Nice (?) to know the Refucks haven't changed a god damned stupid assed thing of theirs in my absence: If the democrats want to create jobs, why wouldn't they lower the corporate income tax rates? Why not eliminate the capitol gains tax for the next two years? <== John Boner

To keep jobs here; like they've been doing for the past 8 years of the most destructive administration in history.

That they're still willing to show their faces as they try to peddle this god damned snake oil... And the auto industry..? (me speaking, not them) NOTHING will get done, NOTHING will be given to them without a plan guaranteed to kill the unions. NOTHING. This bailout hubbub is not about saving the industry; it's about saving the bonuses and dividends and maintaining the pipeline of money up the food chain, not down. Three million jobs? Just little people. Relax; move along.

What was the projected cost of fucking up saving/privatizing Social Security? 1.3? 1.4 trillion dollars? When that amount gets promised to the speculators/hedge funds/execs/shareholders banks, all will be well, the crisis will be over. The base will be appeased, in other words.

Stephaluppugus is on, but I need to go see the vampires. Gotta get the cholesterol and blood sugar checked.

A Little Parting Gift

Ninety minutes till the cab gets here and where am I? Blog surfing.
























Check out from where it came. Way cool.
h/t to C&L

And with that, I'm outta here til next Saturday. The step son will be here to feed the critters and collect our bailout checks. As if.

Big Ol' Carbon Foot Print...

One more day at the grindstone and then we're off to Maui, for a week.

Many thanks and a tip of the bald spot protector (h/t) to my two very cool and generous Brothers-in-law.

You picturing Slim Pickens (Pickins?) riding through the clouds? You're not far off.

I hope I can digest, or pass, the bullshit from the lame-duck-in-chief about how his depression/recession isn't a failure of the free market so I don't get airsick. Nothin' there folks... just a few greedy bad apples... move along. And he's going to represent us at the G-20 summit..? Think anyone else will show up...? Thinking they'll hear anything worth their time...?

Two lessons from the last 8 yrs:

1) Don't send your kids to Yale.

2) Don't send your kids to Harvard (for an MBA).

It's the Stupid Economy, Stupid




















It's amazed me how long people have bought into the notion of believing they're cool, as they allow Howard Schultz to rip them off.

A Question on Context

"Taken out of context," seems to be the one-size-fits-all defense for very politician who gets nailed on what they say. I'm not going to say that it's never a legitimate defense, but sometimes it just doesn't seem to fit no matter how much K-Y or how big a shoe horn you use. Maybe that's just me.... just an illusion.

Governor Nailin Palin, I realize a lot of people are pissed at you for all kinds of reasons, some real and some bullshit. Some made all the more bullshit, because they're put out there by the very dumbasses who pushed you on to the stage in the first place. I know there's a theory out there that it's the Mitt Romney backers trying to pre-emptively destroy your 2012 campaign.

(Courtney Hazlett needs to empty the walnuts out of her cheek or whatever she has in there. Did no one pick out a good side as opposed to a bad side before putting her on the teevee? Is she a John McCain love child?)

Some things just bug me so much I can't keep them to myself.

So... Ms Sarah... in just what context is Africa a country, and in just what context is Africa a continent? ??? Inquiring minds want to know.

(my apologies for no video; maybe I'll get one tonight)

Steffulupugus...

and the Nights of his Round Table

No way, no how, will George F Will, or ANY loyal refuck let the idea of an "Obama Mandate" see the light of day. Yet he repeatedly voices his astonishment at the voter trends: 97% of McCain's vote was white. Racist? Nnnnnaaaaaaaaaa....

Cynthia Tucker: There's been an ideological barrier in this administration to helping the homeowner (working people). They can help corporations, banks, financial institutions (but they can't help "real"people).

David Gergen is a Conservative? Really? He seems honest. Smart even. He even seems to have an influence on Will: Makes him think about what he says.

Such a god damned mother fucking shame that Barack's grandmother couldn't live one more day, to see him elected. And yes, I'm tearing up as I type that. I wonder when we'll hear about the his last conversations with her, or did I miss that?

The Day that Cannot Come Soon Enough




h/t to the good folks at Raw Story for the link.

Don't forget, we still have 71 days of Fucktardery to survive. And that's just Dubya's own.

Rep Mike Pence (refuck) Indiana, is now on Faux News talking about how it's the job of Conservatards to oppose, oppose, oppose, the Liberal agenda. Translation: No 60 seat Senate majority, no progress. or Same shit, different bucket. "Limited government (privatization/corporate welfare), low taxes (more corporate welfare), sanctity of life (white, unborn life) sanctity of marriage(gay Republican sex in a shithouse with falafels diapers and loofahs)"

What will they drum up as an impeachment issue? The puppy pissing on Dubya's shoe?

One thing Pence did, pay close attention kiddies, he said Obama's policies would be disastrous to conservatives. Not to the country, but to conservatives.

I keep saying that these assholes don't care about the country; only themselves. I don't think they care anymore about hiding it.

Chris Wallace seems to have brought his conscience with him this morning: "But didn't John McCain run on those issues? and Didn't the voters reject them?" Scarier still, Bloody Bill Kristol actually made sense for a few minutes. (wish I could remember how Thom Hartmann described him, and his parents, the other day: The Ultimate Opportunists..?)

You can count on Hume to bring them back to the shit pile by casting any possible spending in the worst light possible. Forget the reality, it's the label that matters. Where have these fuckers been during Reagan's expansions of govt, deficits, and the largest tax increase of it's time; ALL in highly regressive excise taxes. Where were these fuckers during more of the same under Aitch Dubya? And where are they NOW after Dubya's ratcheting of it all to the nth degree...?

Brother Can You Spare a Dime?

WOW.... October non-farm job losses:

240,000

But there's more. They went back and revised September. Instead of job losses at 160,000, they now stand at,

284,000

Yeah... Keep those taxes low.

Dumb asses.

Now for a question:

Why this fascination with "reaching across the aisle"? What the fuck is over there besides a garbage dump of destructive ideas? ???

How about a wee bit of honesty please: Conservative, supply side, free market... Refuckyoucan ideas are what got us here. Enough.

As Obama Forms his Cabinet...

...Dubya promises a smooth transition.

Lemme lay back for a sec. Let the warm and fuzzies roll over me. Bask in the warm comfort and glow of another Bush promise of unity.

Oh who the fuck does he think he's kidding? This is the asshole who kicked off National Parks Week, with a $100 million budget cut.

"I wanna make sure the incoming administration can hit the ground running." Translation: I'm going to make sure we leave him such a fucking mess he'll be running around like a chicken with his head cut off.

Barack had his first National Security briefing this morning. I suppose Dubya's hacks filled him in on all the black op prisons as well as the progress on Halliburton's US detention centers..? Filled him in on the costs of bin Laden's dialisis..? Whether they treat him in a cave, or put him up in Pakistan's best hotel or transport him back and forth..? Did they give him the "real reason" for invading Iraq?

In the grand tradition of Gonzo, Rummie, Bigfoot, Pablo, Turdblossom, et al, I wonder what nick name Duby's given him..?

Tomorrow the jobs report for the month of October comes out. The prediction is another 200,000 jobs lost. 1,000,000 / 1 Million for the year. But keeping taxes low creates jobs. Doesn't it? Seems a little old man from out west and his crazy MILF side kick were saying that. Those increased revenues and (not that they matter, right Dick?) 5 trillion more to the national debt brought to us via refuckyoucan conservatard policies... Oh come on people.

I know it's humiliating to admit that you've been suckered in to believing a pack of lies, but what possible good will come from hanging on to those same bullshit beliefs out of stubbornness? ??? When someone shows a drug allergy, you don't give them more of the same drug. Stop with the fucking insanity.


Rachel Maddow has started a "Lame Duck Watch" to keep an eye out for more dubya authored bullshitiousness and douchebaggery in these last ten weeks. He loves to pull his shit on Fridays, when fewer people pay attention to the news.

Back to Bidniss as Usu'l? ???

How long before gas prices rocket back up to $4 a gallon? ??? On their way up to $5.

Hey. I'd LOVE to be wrong on this one. I just don't think I will be.

In the Face of Reason and Reality

Conservatives stand strong.

And by God I hope they continue to.

O'Reilly downplays Palin's craziness. Ingraham claims Republicans lost because they weren't conservative enough. Hannity? haven't seem him yet, but then again he has his own little America and a show all about it. I don't think it would sound very familiar to me.

Hannity: Bush has gotten a raw deal. No respect. "Bush Derangement Syndrome." Bush is deranged? I agree, but I know that's not what he meant. Oh well.

"Old time values are gone; never coming back," says O'reilly. Because Obama won and not McCain? Nothing racist there, nnnaaaaa.

I'm so fucking tired of listening to these crazies. 5 trillion added to the national debt, with a 700 billion baylout chaser. What did it buy us? Seriously, what?

we're safer? We haven't been attacked? Not like we weren't safe and not attacked before. Coincidence; nothing to do with anything Bush has done, but just for shits and giggles, I'll give it to you. So after the trillion bush spent in Iraq to keep us safe, what did we get for the other four trillion?

Tell me Ms and Mr Conservative:

Where did that four trillion go? ???

Keep up the "good" work kids. Stand strong. Pull another two years of Trent Lott: Obstruct, obstruct, obstruct, and then run against a do nothing Congress. It gave us majorities in the House and Senate in 2006.

It gave us the White House in 2008. Gave us increased majorities in both houses of Congress as well.

Bobby Jindal: Before you know it, we'll have government telling Drs how to practice medicine and we can't have that. (No. We need insurance companies telling Drs how to practice medicine. "Make us money.")

More Hannity: The Republicans need to find their way again. Once again become the party of national security and fiscal responsibility (Once "again?" When were you EVER?) The party of "free market 'solutions' for health care and social security." (Like private SS accounts invested in the stock market? Like tax health care benefits to destroy employer based coverage?)

Free Market and Solution do not belong in the same sentence, applied to the same subject. Like Military and Intelligence, or Fat Free French Fries. Free market solutions to the financial market mess? ??? Free markets, historically, have NEVER solved a problem. They CAUSE probems, like the one we're in now.

Oh fuck. More Joe the Plumber saves the world. Please shut him up.

Jeezuz...

The Scar shows his true moronic colors and gives the conservatards new talking points: You want to "invest in Concrete?" "You admit like Cheney that deficits don't matter?"

Bingo: In the conservative world government CAN NOT spend money in a way that reaches "the masses." In a way that reaches anyone who is not already rich.

Brace yourself for a tooth and nail fight over Dubya's tax cuts. NOW deficits drive the Scar crazy.

The Senate gained, but it's still not filibuster proof.

When you reach across the aisle, wear a glove. You don't want to pull back a stump.

And on the Home Front

No I'm not trying to out do McCain in the number of homes dept; I only have one where I actually live, own and on which I pay taxes.

Washington has a silly assed election system that causes ridiculous delays in tallying the vote, but so far Gregoire leads Rossi for Governor (the power of incumbency, I guess), Baghdad Jim's beating up on his opponent and best of all, Darcy Burner may kick Reichart's ass.

Bummer. Franken may not make it in Minnesota; looks like crazy bitch Bachman will. What can we say? They elected a bad guy pro wrestler as governor.

Faux News Announces

President Barack Hussein Obama.

O'Reilly weeps.

Hannity pukes.

I wish I had fireworks.

Now will Dubya let it stand...?

WOW... Juan Williams, Faux's token, is damn near moved to tears. You can hear the shakiness in his voice.

I'm so glad that the electoral count margin is greater than either of Dubya's thefts elections. It's really a shame to have to say that there needed to be NO question of the result, but

Oh fuck.... McCain's crowd is booing. At last. He cuts them off.

well... Dubya's inaugural motorcade got egged and tomatoed.

Nice touch John: Wishing that Toot could have lived one more day to see this. Nice touch. He looks crushed; anyone would be. He sounds gracious; I hope he means it; I hope he finally goes back to being the McCain we thought he was in 2000.

Good speech by Obama. Not on par with his Minneapolis speech to claim/accept the nomination, but very good. A call to unity and to bury the hatchet. This country needs to heal from the wounds and damage of Dubya. It needs to heal from the self inflicted wounds of struggling to ward off the raping, pillaging and plundering.

Home Sweet Home

I was semi-surprised by the map of Pennsylvania showing the vote results. I was born in Harrisburg and lived in Lebanon from the 4th grade till a year after high school. I don't really have a feel for the political atmosphere in H'burg, but I remember Lebanon all too well.

While the talking head was talking about the Philly suburbs, I looked at central PA and the map showed several counties, Berks, Dauphin, and Lancaster all in blue with Lebanon county, an island of red. We're talking the PA Dutch country here. While Lancaster is considered the heart of it, there's a LOT of people of German heritage in Berks as well. The kicker? Lebanon County, as I knew it back in the 70's, was damn near lily white.

Hi LHS Class of '74.

I doubt there's a whole lot of celebrating going on back there right now. They'd probably leave the country en-mass, except most of them have a hard time leaving the county for a week's vacation. Maybe they could get bold and take my moron brother in law with them. That's wishing for too much.

Why oh F*cking Why

Is Rudy Tooty 9iu11iani on with Mika and the Scar? ??? What "expertise" do they expect from a moron who spent 50 million for one fucking primary delegate?

Monday, November 3, 2008

Dear Barack,

I'm really sorry to hear about your Grandmother, Toot's, death. I was soooooo hoping that she could live long enough to see you, the fruit of her labors and love, become this country's first African American president.

You win...? You BETTER make her proud.

VOTE !!! and Protect Your Vote

The following is an email I got from someone or another here in Washington state. I hope the information within is of use to my faithful followers. All 30 of you.


Tomorrow's the day. Just do it.


Are you as excited as I am? Only one day left until we take back our country!

You know whom you are voting for (Barack Obama! Chris Gregoire!). Now you need to take a few simple steps to make sure your vote counts.

We have a Voter Protection team who is dedicated to protecting your vote. We learned a lot from 2004 and the Primary, and we've listened to the problems and questions we've gotten on our Voter Hotline (1-877-WA-CHANGE or 1-877-922-4264).

To learn how to protect your vote, where to vote, or any other information, visit our Voter Information page.

Here is what we've learned about how you can protect your vote:

Mail in your absentee ballot now. Your absentee ballot must be postmarked on Election Day, so you must drop it in the mailbox before the last pickup time listed on the mailbox. However, during the Primary, nearly 6,000 voters put their absentee ballots in the mail on Primary Day, only to miss the last pickup time. Their vote did not count. We encourage you to mail in your ballot as soon as you can today or early on Election Day. Follow the instructions on your ballot about postage and how to mail your ballot.

Haven't received your absentee ballot? We've gotten a lot of questions on our Hotline from people who haven't received their absentee ballot. Is this you or someone you know? To get a replacement ballot, go to your County Auditor's office or dropoff location. If you live in Pierce or King Counties, you can also go to a polling place and vote there by provisional ballot on Election Day.

Remember, you can always vote by provisional ballot. Provisional ballots exist to preserve your right to vote. If you have any problems voting - say, you've moved and haven't changed your registration to your new address - you can always vote by provisional ballot. Just go to your County Auditor's office or any polling place to get a provisional ballot. Here are some situations where you may find yourself needing a provisional ballot:

  • You aren't at your designated polling place. Even if you are supposed to be at another polling place, you can vote at any polling place by provisional ballot.
  • You've moved and haven't changed your registration to your new address.
  • You go to the polls and you're not in the poll books.
  • You haven't received your absentee ballot.
  • You're an absentee voter and now want to vote in person.
  • You're a poll voter, but you don't have the proper ID.

Watch the mail. If there are any problems with your ballot, your County Auditor will notify you by mail. Watch your mail, and if you do get a notice, follow their directions to a T. The Auditor is trying to help you. You can fix your ballot in the week following Election Day.

Every registered voter has the right to have his or her vote counted, and there are measures in place to make it easy for any registered voter to vote. This year, there are a lot of close races, so your vote or the vote of your friends could make the difference. Please forward this mail to anybody you know who has voting questions.

Many thanks,

Jaxon Ravens
Executive Director
Washington State Democrats

p.s. After the election, we will continue working to protect your vote. We'll send staff to counties around the state to resolve any disputes with individual votes. We depend on supporters like you to fund these efforts. Please donate whatever you can to help fund our Voter Protection team.

Maverick

Apparently,to the brillyunt ones on Morning Joe, this is the reason McCain has had such a fucked up campaign.

Oh Fuck! Peggy Noonan: This has been a nice clean campaign; all about the issues.

The Scar: Two impressive men. "Let the blogosphere spew their hate; let Paul Krugman hunch over his word processor, weighed down by his Nobel Prize. Hateful, hateful, hateful..."

Back to McCain... They're going bonkers over his poor ground game, his lack of organization and how it's all due to his being a maverick. No one wants to help him or work for him because he's a maverick.

When I run into someone I don't want to work with, I usually use other words to describe them: Asshole is one that comes to mind.

Chinese jets? ??? NO they haven't bought out the football team, they plan to build them. Erin Burnett -- who's way hotter than Palin -- said so. I'm not sure I want to fly on a Chinese built jet. Well... how bad can it be? Will piss leak into the baggage area when you flush the toilet? Like in the police academy in Baghdad?

Other than the short celebration, GE/MSNBC gets to build the engines, they all sound like a fan club in mourning. Like after a Seahawk or Mariner game. McCain fans? Sports fans? Not a whole lot of logic behind the actions of either.

Oooo... Snuffy's on

With Rick Davis, McCrank's Lobbyist in Chief Campaign Lobbyist Manager, or whatever the fuck he is. Predicts an election theft win for the man who will finally ensure an American victory.

In Vietnam.

Nothing like being a half century late and a trillion or two short.

Axelrod won't come out and say it, but he won't make a prediction, I'm sure because he's afraid of the refuckyoucan election theft machine.

2000: Florida. 2004: Ohio. 2008: Pennsylvania..? Alabama-on-the-Susquehanna.

George F Will: McCrank's counting on the surge in new voters, because it'll "sweep down (something) rural white voters," into the process. The Moron Vote, basically. The non-educated; the low information voters. How come Will is on every single fucking show? Some kind of a man crush?

What would a shrink have to say about my obsession with picking on the Stephasaurus? Not sure I want to know.

Lots of talk about undecided voters. Who could be undecided? This administration has been ALL about transferring more wealth to the already wealthy. From Iraq, to Katrina, to this past month's collapse of the financial/insurance industry has been about reverse-socialism. That 5 trillion increase in the national debt? All in to the pockets of Corporatist Americans.

Sunday Funny: McStain talking on SNL about doing the "Double Maverick" and "Reverse Maverick." I thought he'd already done both, no?

Hmmm.... Will picks Obama to win with 378 electoral votes, Dems plus 8 in the Senate and plus 21 in the house
Dowd 338, +8, +17
Halpernin 349, +7, +28 and possibly higher.
Donna Brazille 343, +8, and +29 and possibly 32
Snuffy 353, +7, +28.

So much for Turdblossom's permanent refuckyoucan majority...? I wouldn't got to the bank with anything, (the refucks can steal a radio and leave the music) but I personally think it will either be a squeaker (theft) for McCrank, or a total landslide for Obama. For once I hope I'm wrong about Will being a moron with big words in his vocabulary.

Twenty years ago, someone told me I should read/ would like Studs Terkel. Never did get around to reading him.

Done?

Kinda sorta. I filled out my ballot and... Fuck.

It used to be that a person could just assume their vote would a) be counted and b) be counted as it was cast. Can't assume a damn thing anymore. No matter how many times I double check and see that I'm registered, the way those refuckyoucans steal shit, I still worry that something will happen and on Nov 4, I'll see I've been purged.

Scary what those shit stains have done to make democracy an obstacle course. All in the name of "free and fair."
