Bessie’s little boy Charlie was attacked in his car. Or so the headline says. By English students who had just had their tuitions raised, and their grants lowered, while Bonnie Prince(ss) Charlie got his allowance raised. Unlike some, I believe his lifelong Major Crime spree outweighs the number of times he opened the back door in the back seat. That’s beside the point. Sheets, mon, his alleged sexual escapades are TAME compared to those of his family. But that’s what gets the most reporting.
But this attack wasn’t aimed at his arse.
Not specifically at least. More like his family being a large swarm of leeches.
Seems people are noticing, and taking action against, the fact that a small minority of people gets the great majority of the income. If ten percent are getting more money than the rest of the people combined, then it jolly well makes their argument that “Entitlements to the poor” are what’s causing the economy to implode downright laughable.
Let’s try the root word and the historic basis for “entitlement”. Titles like Duke, Count, Viscount, Baron, Earl, King, Prince, Sir, Knight, Madame, Dame.
Strange ladies lying in puddles distributing swords is no basis for Kingship, true executive authority comes from a mandate by the masses, not some Farcical aquatic ceremony. If I were to go round saying i’m the bloody Emperor because some Moistened Bint lobbed a scimitar at me, they’d lock me up, hadn’t they?
So America, in the model expressed by industrialist Jay Gould “I can hire half the poor to murder the other half” has at least one group of roused rabble who are, for reasons known only to their own dark little souls, fighting a revolution not against bondage and servitude but FOR their chains, and to force others to accept the same base estate.
One of their leaders, Christine O’Donnel, New England’s version of our own beloved Sellouts Tancredo, Buck and Malkin, quipped at a Pearl Harbor Party that “tragedies come in threes” and said Pearl Harbor, the death of Elizabeth Edwards, and the unemployment benefit being extended.
Ms Edwards, for decades the Right Wing including the Demon Spawn O’Donnel, have been fervently wishing that ALL liberals, especially the most effective activists and politicians, would simply catch cancer and die. This is the level of their “revolutionary” zeal. If they’re lucky enough not to get put down like the pack of rabid chihuahuas they truly are, by the Other Half of the poor, the ones who the Modern Jay Goulds can’t possibly pay off, while they’re on their way to storm the castles of American Royalty.
One way they could help that slim survival chance along is if they develop enough smarts or lose enough stupids that they don’t try to block the way.
