I Blew in Your Ear

Gonna follow me anywhere?

Anybody knows to what that refers... the origins thereof... not sure what you'll win. Anyyyy wayyyy

If you happened to be listening to the NorMan GoldMan radio show tonight, you may have heard me. Twas I who addressed the issue of Mike Huckabee's role/responsibility in the aftermath of the executions of four Lakewood, WA Police officers.

If Huckabee is any kind of a man at all, he will admit he fucked up. He will admit that if it was Maurice Clemmons who shot the officers, had he not been granted a commutation and then released from prison, these officers will still be alive. He will not say he's sorry; he will ask forgiveness. And there is a difference; a HUGE difference.

He may have had what he thought were good reasons at the time; I can accept that. He could not know the future; I realize that. Never the less, HE freed the man. HE made this possible.

Any weasling, any waffling, any attempts to deflect or duck responsibility, and Huckabee will take a place at Dubya's right hand as a target of my contempt and derision. not a place of honor to say the least.

Yea Mittens... You Go Girl !!!

Dontcha just love it when some rich asshole starts in with his, "We the people," shit. Just caught a bit of the Mittster's, what would you call it; Victory speech? He won ONE primary today, and that was his home fucking state. Not a whole hell of a lot better return on his campaign dollar than Rudy got, eh?

Biggest thing to me, has been watching the Redneck vote, both red and blue. I'm not surprised that Fuckabee is making a show down there. He's Baptist, although to his discredit, he went to seminary. Hey, I shit you not, lots of genetic nightmares down there really think like that: Preachers who go to school aren't "called." Back to the Fuckster.... he like his women barefoot and at home, su'mittin to their men. Rednecks love sales taxes.. exise taxes.. taxes that basically fuck the poor. Like the Huckafuck they really do think that's fair: "Everone pays the same." Too bad they can't figure out that they're paying a MUCH higher percentage of their blacklung earned wage than their coal-baron boss. In all fairness, I can't do percentages on my fingers and toes. Why else do they like him... Oh... I'll bet he can't name half of the countries on the globe. He might know we're bordered by Canada and Mexico, although I don't know how he explains so many illegals coming across our border with Pakistan...? No shit. What everrrrrr.....

Dontcha love the add of McCain's? The one about how he's more Reagan than Raygun was? My surge, my surge. The true social conservative... Why doesn't he just say, "If you're an ignorant moron, you gotta love me."

Must drive a lot of those creatures down there fucking crazy trying to figure out whether to vote for a woman or a black man. I'm really surprised there are so many people wanting to vote for the two of them. Still, I can't help but find it interesting...: Barack's got South Carolina from the other week, and today picks up Georgia and Alabama. Then Hilly gets Tennessee, Arkansas and Oklahoma. As I write, Missouri is too close to call.

I can't claim that I have any great insight into why things are shaking out this way. Having lived in East Tennishoe (Knoxvoid, and to be exact) for several years, I would have expected a statewide vote of 5-2 or something like that. Maybe they're growing up down there (finally). After all it was 1968 when they all followed the segregationist pied piper George Wallace and handed the Presidency to Tricky Dick Nixon. The first Refuckyoucan Preznit to try to skirt the Constitution. Oddly enough though, they would vote solid Refuck for Prez, yet would vote for Democratic Senators, Reps and Govs. Face it: They vote solidly, anti-civil rights. Anti rights for blacks. Anti rights for women. Anti anything pro-non-white-male.

No shit.... I once asked where I could find brown rice...? I was told to look in the gourmet isle. They also consider Roman Meal to be Wheat Bread. I shit you not. Any way....

That's your Schtooper Toosdee coverage from my side of the black hole.

I Was Going to Apologize to Mike Gravel, but

Then I read this posting by JP. For the most part his posting, which has to do with the plight of the migrant tomato pickers in Immokalee, Florida, has nothing to do with Gravel, except when JP mentions the LOW cost of production due to our government supported/legalized slave labor as opposed to the HIGH price of goods at the point of sale. This is the big reason I had no use for Gravel: he was totally ignorant of any basic economic sense.

Last night as I responded to a comment, I mentioned how I once heard Thom Hartmann take Gravel to school. Gravel, like Huckabee, and I believe Ron Paul, want to do away with the IRS and replace it with a national sales tax. (my apologies to any other idiots with the same dumbass notion who I fail to name) I don't remember what Gravel called it, but Huck calls it a Fair Tax. There's nothing fair about it, lemme tell you. Sales taxes are highly regressive: they hit the poorest the hardest, and there's no way to sell them any differently. Doing away with the IRS? It would solve nothing, not to mention that it just won't fucking happen. anyway...

Gravel was somehow trying to get his crazy notion across that taxes are the reason we pay$1-200 for a fucking pair of sneakers made by slaves for Nike. As if somehow that gap between the pennies it costs to make them and the final sales price is all money that goes to the government. Hartmann had to basically spell it out, without the benefit of visual aides (which may have been why Gravel couldn't get the lesson), from costs of production, distribution, marketing, etc, that taxes aren't shit compared to the total price tag. That's all a Refuckyoucan/Conservative propaganda smoke screen. What affects the price of goods is the market: What will the market bear; what are people willing to pay. Nikes made in the US: $100. Nikes made in Asia: $100. Case closed.

Don't get flim flammed on this notion of lower corporate taxes somehow coming back, or trickling down to you in any form other than a big shit on your head.

Now back to Gravel, once again, as much as he was exposed as an idiot by Hartmann, I still do feel that I/we owe him a very sincere apology. The reason being that he was the first candidate to be arbitrarily excluded from the primary debates, and when it happened no one, myself included, seemed to care. I don't remember any of the other candidates protesting.

Gravel was the first step, then Kucinich. All along the networks focussed on their pre-ordained darlings Hillary and Barack, as shown by the timekeeper, Chris Dodd. SO...

Senator Gravel, please forgive me. I should have stood up for you, and in doing so, stood up for democracy. If I and others had, we might now have a different election.

Bill O'Lielly Humanitarian (with update)

Billy the Bully is at it again. As if he ever stops.

Anyone with their head out of the sand, or their ass, knows this country has a MAJOR problem with veterans' care. Further, anyone with their head out of the sand, or their ass, knows this problem gets worse with each year of a Refuckyoucan in the White House. Remember Bush'sveto because of the extravagance of a 3.5% over a 3% pay raise for the troops? How he said:


"The problems at Walter Reed were caused by bureaucratic and administrative failures."

when he described the slums and ghettos we call outpatient facilities at Walter Reed? Red tape my ass


Violante stated, "To pay for the Bush Administration’s $1.7 trillion tax reduction plan, the majority leadership and Budget Committee Chairman in the United States House of Representatives are pushing a fiscal year 2004 budget resolution that would drastically slash veterans and other Federal programs. This budget resolution would require reductions in spending on discretionary programs such as veterans’ medical care and would also require the Veterans’ Affairs Committees to report legislation to eliminate or cut mandatory programs such as disability compensation."

you piece of shit.

Which brings me to the latest installment of the Fucks News/Refuck Epic: The Democrats Hate the Troops. I first heard an exchange between Bully Boy and Ed Schultz on Big Ed's Wednesday radio show. After diuscussing the problem of HomelessVets, from Bush War II, as well as other wars, O'Lielly finished up by saying that "...they may be out there but there aren't many of them." He even challenged Ed to find them and let him know about them. Welllll....

As the week went on had had numerous guests, from individual vets, to veterans' advocates, to a film director, to one of the biggest vet advocates of all, Jon Edwards, on Friday. Edwards talks about 200,000 homeless vets. I honestly don't know where he gets his number, but I have to say I'm skeptical about ANY number when it comes to an attempt to count the homeless. Not because of dishonestly, necessarily, but the logistics of getting an accurate count: They move... they have no homes... they hide from authority... and so on. 200,000? The way the rabid foxes attack, I would imagine that's a conservative (Damn it hurts to type that word in this context) estimate.

Of course one would imagine that O'Lielly being made more and more aware of the problem, naturally would come to the rescue and offer some real possibilities for solving the problem, no? Yup. He sure did:


Round 'em all up, and send 'em to live with Jon Edwards.

Gotta love it. Fits right in with every other Refuck mantra and agenda. When there's a problem that you have caused, blame the other guy and/or place the totally responsible for solving the problem through same totally unrealistic process on them. As if somehow this absolves you....?

And you manage to come up with 17% of the population that agrees and thinks the country is on the right track with Dubya's crime lords at the helm...? BTW...

The percentage of adult Americans who think the sun revolves around the earth? EIGHTEEN (18%) PERCENT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! or roughly one in 5. Sharing a six-pack? One of those fuckers doesn't need theirs. Not sure how many believe it's flat, but some definitely do.

I wonder where Mike Fuckabee stands...?

Supporting the troops Refuckyoucan style....?
