THAT'S RIGHT. Five US ex-presidents, so-called most powerful men in the world, who each did their most to expropriate the public wealth for the super rich, who denied you healthcare, job security, infrastructure, a clean environment, even peace, every last POTUS son of a bitch, now think the rescue of America's refinery capitol should be at your expense. Never mind that your taxes will already pay to rebuild Houston. These still-shilling salesmen-in-chief want whatever extra they can squeeze out of the American little person in the name of Christian Charity.

Bill Clinton’s Haitian ‘aid’ campaigning was all a big fraud
How many times did Bill Clinton pose himself as wanting to save the US made impoverished Haiti? I lost count. Well now a study shows it was all a big fraud, with most of the so called US aid to Haiti going to US companies, and only 1% of it to Haitians themselves! Yes, that's right. ...just 1%! And the study also found that the biggest recipient of U.S. aid after the earthquake was Chemonics International, a for-profit international development company based in Washington, D.C., that has more than 4,800 employees. These are US corporate creeps posing as international saviours alongside their co-partners, The Pentagon. See Study Finds Haiti Aid Largely Went to US Groups
Mimi Wesson has um big penis envy
DENVER- And it's a strange lot of penises she covets: there's Bob Guccione, OJ Simpson, Michael Jackson, Bill Clinton and... Ward Churchill. In a private email in the midst of the CU firestorm over Churchill's 9/11 essay, Wesson compared the "thoroughly unpleasant" Churchill to a pornographer, wife-batterer-killer, pedophile and cheat --as attorney David Lane reminded us in his closing arguments today. But it wasn't the email that tipped me off, nor her fiction-writer persona promotional photo on the motorcycle. It was something which Marianne "My friends call me Mimi" did on her first day of testimony, early in the trial. When she left the witness stand, Wesson did not return to her seat, nor to the chairs located by the defense table for CU-aligned witnesses. During her break, Churchill-slayer Mimi Wesson chose the chair directly behind Ward Churchill. 7172
The Dubya archetype as maladroit foil
Some might argue that it began before George Dubya. Apparently the US public's distrust of politics is placated by believing its fate is in the hands of someone they could feel comfortable having a beer with. I'd say it began in earnest with the cardboard figurehead Ronald Reagan, and continued through the wimp and slick Wimpy. The perceived acuity of the US president has since been diminished ad absurdum to an incoherent, uneducated, illiterate inebriate. The ascension of Barack Obama marks a change meant to refresh voter confidence, but clearly our government's winning motif is taking a not so distant back seat. Americans need someone with whom to feel superior, if not in the highest office, at least among his foils. 6688
Consumer confidence men
The more I see pundits scoring Barack Obama's performance based on Wall Street's reaction, according to how much hope Obama is able to infuse into the public's faltering confidence in the economy, I have to ponder the uncomfortable etymology of the term CON ARTIST. Con Man is short for Confidence Man, itself a now obscure euphemism for chiseler, defrauder, grifter, scammer, swindler, gouger, or fraud. But the term is still charmingly descriptive. 6683
Barack Obama sneaking in real close
LOOK AT THAT CHEEKY RASCAL! He's wearing Bush's tie, and Bush's lapel pin, and he's standing right in there between the blue-bloods; like he wants to be Bush 44 and not somebody who even knows those red-tied crackers! I've still got my fingers crossed that this is a ruse. The minute the inauguration's over, Obama will put his arms over the shoulders of both the Bushes and lead them straight up a scaffold.
BlowJob Bill, Super Hero!
These days, Slick Willie is out there pretending to be helping the poor. See Bill Clinton has 1,000 pledges to aid world's poor ...At least, former president Jimmy Carter went out and pretended to build houses, and Al Gore pretends to be now saving the planet's ecology. But Slick is out there working for the 'Goodwill' Corporate Monopoly getting big corporations to drop off their older clothes and furniture, all in the name of Hillary, one suspects! 3286
Billy Bob Clinton and the cane fields
Makes you sick... capitalism as a means toward social organizing and a just prosperity. Tell me after reading this you're still convinced that capitalist democracy is viable any longer... for us, the working poor, the working class, the middle classes? We've lost all our gains, if any were actually made, since the early 70s. All the surplus that is produced from our labor, whether service or manufacturing, has been stolen by the financial industries and corporate wall street barons. This is the National Dividend that Richard Cook talks about and urges we demand, to get back our gains from our productivity.
The Hunting of the President, in reruns
Oh, to have a president whose private life was such an embarrassment, compared to the profoundly, shamefully dark little Nero we have today. Hillary Clinton fails us in her own right, for being a criminal corporate shill, not for past indiscretions shown by her husband.
