I saw this thread under a video posted to Facebook making light of a joke made on NMT by Ed Billings, at Tony's expense. LOVE IT. There are the names in one webshot, IN LEAGUE, laughing as one of them offers to contract for a dog-napping. Freedom of Speech doesn't protect making threats and menacing, you dopes. Further along Clifton suggests that the dog sex jokes are surrogates for the politically incorrect laughs they'd rather be having, at thinking about Tony and me being GAY. Do you suppose any of these comedians think we could give a fig about what they're saying? They're irrelevant do-nothings. And while my advice to anyone is assert yourself and get involved, I'm thinking a worthy cause would be ill served by these intellects.

Capital = Job creation, as explained by CenturyLink formerly Qwest formerly SW Bell
and somewhere in there a brief fantasy relationship with Yahoo as an internet service provider and a general screwing to the taxpayers of the City of Irving and Dallas county being thrown in... but I once more digress. CenturyLink "absorbed" Qwest's facilities, employees and corporate debts in a process called merger where all duplicated or "redundant" jobs on both sides of the merger were downsized. Meaning XXX number of real people lost their tech and service sector jobs. That's the way it looks on any prospectus of any merged corporations, in order to convince people to invest more capital in those corporations. In reality the jobs created would be debt collectors and repossession crews and foreclosure agents. BUT that's what they tell the Money People. Those of us who are in the Peasant Majority are told that we should welcome CenturyLink along with the massive tax breaks given on top of the ones they already enjoyed PLUS extras for "Job Creation" in our communities... we're told that these massive layoffs is somehow an opportunity for those "downsized" out of having a living wage job to get a job with a company who has just laid off about 20 percent of their workforce by eliminating redundant positions. Firing people in other words. But "job creation" is their story, and they're stickin' to it. So when you hear a politician proclaim that his policies of deregulation and wage-cutting and tax breaks for the richest actually created jobs, now you know why it is that a lot of people have decided that he's just full of shit all the way up to the nose and it keeps leaking out of his mouth. Other questions for them would be, since Union Membership is under 20% of the workers now, for thirty years the right to organize, join or even mention the word "Unions" anywhere on or off the job has been slashed, safety health and environmental regulations slashed, the remaining shreds of those regulations routinely ignored, and the workers' right to legal redress of grievances limited under "Tort Reform" plus the lowest tax rate since the last Great Depression, hasn't created any "new jobs" for us even though the Corporations have had their way granted to them on a silver charger for 3 straight decades. But you'll only get half of the first part of the question asked when the TeaBag and RepubliKlan Morons shout you down.
THEY can’t afford feudal serfdom any more than US
Meaning the Corporates. Like Bush and Walker. They've sunk their assets and their asses into the credit economy deep. They broke it and expect US to make all the concessions so they can salvage enough of the system to support their luxury lifestyle. It's gone, gone gone... They'll have real estate without tenants or maintenance, cars without gas or drivers, WideScreen MegaUltra-3D televisions without electricity or audiences. roads that nobody could drive on even if they DID have cars and gas, and no way to pay the Working Class people they've hired to guard their palaces. Their "liquid" assets are phantoms, Credit Cards, Mortgages, car loans. Bush is scheduled to ride his ass into town on what, Palm Sunday, Good Friday? I'll have to check the date. Into a town they look upon as being the New Jerusalem, to be lauded by the New Priesthood at the New Temple to their god Mammon. Blasphemy, yes. It is. And I'm sure they are aware of it. Gov Walker is actually from here, you know. They scheduled the "Lion's Heart" award ceremony before Scott Walkers Putsch, although that was probably coordinated too, Maybe Sir Scott of Walker was going to present King George with the head of American Labor on a silver charger. OK so the Royalist and religious metaphors overlap a lot and I, for one, can't help the fact that their corporate church and corporate state are built on contradictions. But I'm placing my bet that Scott Walker is on the scheduled Evenings Entertainment. Mene, mene, tekel upharsim Mene, Mene, tekel peres
The Egyptian equivalent of TeaBags…
Anderson Cooper was attacked in Egypt while reporting by Mubarak supporters. Anderson Cooper talked to The Huffington Post from Cairo on Wednesday night, and described what happened to him this morning, when he and his crew were attacked by a group of supporters of President Hosni Mubarak. Amazing, isn't it? Reporters attacked not by the "out of control Anti-American mob" but by the right wing... "A man jumped out of the crowd and tried to push us around," he said. "It sort of allowed other people in the crowd to focus on us. Other people came out of the crowd. Somebody punched me in the head, and from there things escalated quickly." The crew decided they had to turn around, he said. They tried to walk away "as calmly as possible," but this did not calm the crowd around them. "They were following us, screaming at us, ripping at our clothes," he said. This lasted for five minutes. The mob threw bottles and water at the crew, and kept kicking and punching people. A few people tried to assist them, but they were overwhelmed by the pro-Mubarak group. Meanwhile, Egyptian soldiers watched the whole thing. Of course they did. Much like many in Krowd in Kentucky attacking Lauren Valle were Kops. The U.S. Army stood by while we were attacked at St Paddy's. Cooper said he received four distinct blows to the head. "I've never been punched in the head before," he said. "So they left an impression." He said it was the first time that he'd been directly attacked in a crowd while reporting a story. For now, he is staying away from Tahrir Square. It is not safe, he said, for any journalist to report from there.
Tennessee Fire-Non-Fighters and the Bible
The language used by the fire-non-fighter is heavily ingrained indoctrination. There's a movement with some familiar names on the letterheads, spokesfreaks not leaders, Beck, Hannity, O'Reilly, Malkin... people whose ambitions are to create an American Sha'ariah based on their own interpretation of the Word. Or more importantly how the words of the Word get translated into English. They believe that somehow King James was a Liberal. Rather than the really vicious killer he was, and point to speculations on his sexuality, which really doesn't make three quarters of a fat rats ass. The dude was a killer, that trumps any other social or moral consideration you could think of. But the contention is that the Shakespearian English, and they toss in the "Shakespeare was queer, you know" wink wink nudge nudge low-flying canard as evidence, used in the KJV 1611 was "effeminate". Oh, he's a lumberjack, he's okay. (so gay?) And they're actually Re-Writing the Bible to reflect what they think it should be. Nothing new there. Even by their own admission. Many of them cite the "Thou shalt not Kill" commandment, saying that "They" meaning, not the person speaking who is as ignorant of who "They" are as he is of the actual grammatical structure of Classical Hebrew, BUT "They" Apocryphally proved that it really should have said "Thou shalt not Murder" and thus place a distinction among the concepts of Killings not authorized by the King-du-jour and those which are authorized. AND then make the silly ass demand that WE, the "peasants", never question "Their" word on it. Does Hannity or Malkin or Beck or Jack van Impe or any single one of their Demented Demonic Disciples actually speak Classical Hebrew fluently? I've never met one who does and I've been in fundamentalist churches all my life. The same way the Lying Freaks say that They, and only They, can possibly know the Original Intent of the "Founding Fathers" who just by a coincidence aren't the ones who actually FOUGHT the revolution, but those Wealthy Landed Aristocrats who commanded it. And the sources of their Arcane-yet-Unquestionable Knowledge of the Constitution are the sources of the Religious Revisionists. Karl Rove and Newt Gingrich are also in their sorry lying ChickenHawk lot. But they're going to, just like the Fire-Non-Fighter, claim that somehow They have been given the revelation that Thou Shalt Not Kill is a grammatical error in a language none of Them even speaks. Apparently the concept has been sold to more than a few individuals. And it's Mighty Convenient if those who seek to rule over everybody else offer up their version of the Word of God as being the unquestionable basis of their so-called "Authority". God Himself hath verily told us through secret Revelation that we of course are not obligated to prove in any way, that YOU must bow down before us, and accept our Mighty Rule as surely as you would His, without question or dissent Nothing new there either. The contention against "bad" kings as opposed to
BP Says “top-kill” worked, but drilling wells right next to it
Supposedly to ease the pressure. How about THIS supposition instead. BP trashed the ocean very thoroughly, the bottom-up killoff of marine life is in progress, the species that are being more than merely decimated provide the food for every other life form. There's an investigation supposedly happening in the area of the well collapse. An investigation BP has stalled for months by "fumbling" around "trying" to stop the oil. Knowing full well that in doing so they were stomping all around the Crime Scene. Which is what it IS. Even cutting out the obvious crime of destroying what looks like the damn how to put this? OK so I'll put it where a Far Right Profit-is-God Money Worshiper like Rush Limbaugh can understand. Economic crime in the theft of Trillions. Put a dollar value on what's going to happen to just the Seafood Industry. The fisheries are trashed and going to get worse. Rush was on the air just before the non-enforcement of existing regulations and cutting even those down to where they wouldn't make a difference... WHINING that regulations to protect some of the species that form the web of life in the sea would limit "Sport Fishing". And screaming like the bitch that he is about how "all those poor Fishing Boat outiftters and Fishing Tour providers were going to be losing money". Where's the concern for them NOW, on the far right? And that's just one small facet of fisheries management. The corals, not pretty rocks on the bottom but the living coral, the organisms that build the reefs. Endangered by a shrimping practice that was destroying the reefs, killing the living coral, and in a chain reaction, was killing off the shrimp. Not So? Read on... One of the processes was to promote the growth of organisms that the coral normally feed on. Some of which are to shrimp what anthrax is to humans. And of course the whole food web. Maybe food web is too complex for a Right Wing so-called "mind" to fathom.<<nautical joke. So we go with their more familiar linear Food Chain. Which goes straight up, never sideways and of course, never down. The part of the "bottom" supposedly magically regenerates itself, and placing one species on the "top" is kind of chauvinistic. Which affected every other aspect of the food linear "chain" including the Sport Fishermen that Rush boo-hooed about so much. Oh, that's right, it's Glenn Beck who does the fake crying. The process is just beginning, the vast majority of the oil is still in the water, combined with chemical dispersants... which are Toxic. Hidden away where most people won't see it. Trillions of dollars later they'll see it. And of course, in the Right wing so-called "mind" nothing that happens in the sea could ever possibly have any effect on the Food Chain web of life on land. According to their screed, events on LAND don't affect life on land. Just ask the bees, bats and frogs before they all
Just a little reminder to the Right Wing
If, as you claim in response to, for instance, the controversy over the The Weatherman Manifesto both the inactive-for-nearly-four DECADES Weather Underground and anybody who doesn't join you in condemning them as Violent Terrorists who are responsible for the Major League Spanking taken by the Empire in VietNam, are ineffective, faux revolutionary, pseudo-Intellectual, weaklings, etc... Then why the continued harassment against the Weathermen? By your own Right Wing Propaganda they didn't ever bust a grape. On the other hand, they, and not anything like the resistance fighters in VietNam, cost "America" the war. Which is it, TOO effective or NOT effective? If NOT effective, why spend so much of your time and the money of your corporate sponsors with your Shrill, Effete, Shrieking denunciations? Why have your Shrill, effete and shrieking turned against the "ineffective pseudo-intellectuals" who oppose your similar debacle in Afghanistan and Iraq? Why do your Corporate-organized and Corporate Financed "independent grass-roots" TeaBags gather, armed, in OUR parks and streets screaming their racist venom against an election in which Americans REJECTED their Racist Venom, if your Venomous Shrill Effete Shrieking Racists actually WERE the overwhelming majority in America? Even the ownership of the polling process by your Corporate Leaders and their similar ownership of the Police, Courts and every enforcement agency related to the election wasn't enough to keep SEVENTY MILLION AMERICANS FROM VOICING THEIR REJECTION OF THOSE VENOMOUS RACIST POLICIES. We didn't get very effective representation for our votes, but we sure as HELL riled you chickenshit bastards up, didn't we? Now you're talking about EXECUTING people, like Bradley Manning, who dared to stand up and tell the truth against your Warmongering Murderous Lies. Which set or sub-set of your LIES do you wish for us to believe?
Jane Norton, Republican, Tea Bag, liar, warmonger pig, thief, corporate whore
Stated in her campaign commercial that Obamacare, not even implemented, is the cause of the Trillion Dollar Federal Deficit. Not, of course, anything to do with the Police State budget, some of which is "classified", nor with the Extended Police State Imperial Storm Troopers with their hi-tech Murder Gadgets, taking over foreign nations for the profit of the Corporations who own the political system including Ms Norton, the TeaBags, both major parties, (the Republicans are publicly and Blatantly, proudly, Servants of the Corporate Regime) Nothing to do with the Ecological Destruction of America and the rest of the world, which combined with the ever-expanding War on Everything, and the natural tendencies of Corporate Officers, like Ms Norton, to be thieves, combined with the opportunities for Massive Corporate Theft provided by the Wars promoted by the TeaBags like Ms Norton, thus an Economic disaster that can be best described as a "death spiral". Couldn't possibly be any of that. No, it has to be modest slowdown of the Reaganite Corporate Thief Steamroller. Not stopping it or reversing it, just slowing it down is the cause of the Deficit. Remember the Scream Sessions at Acacia Park and the Rigged Town Hall Meetings from last summer and fall? About Socialized Health Care being "death panels and cutting Grandma off from Social Security and Medicare"? The TeaBag and (other) Republican candidates across the nation are pushing for cuts in ... Social Security and Medicare. Nothing new there, Ronald Reagan and the rest of the Right Wing Fanatics have opposed even the barest minimum of Social Security and Medicare since the beginning. Now they feel they have the opportunity to Slash Social Security using Health Care (not yet implemented) as their Screaming Point. And Ms Norton is one of their really loud Bleating Sheep. To them it's not a personal assault on the Poor, nothing special, they don't hate the Poorest any more than they do Their Own Grandma. Equal Opportunity Hatred, the worst and most virulent kind.
My but this is fun. Sweet Video.
“Obama planted a Computer Chip in my brain and we should shoot Americans”.
Happy Earth day, to us!
Four decades in the making, and at the FIRST Earth Day suggestions were made to stop destroying Earth. Which, since any habitable Other Planet is decades in the future, and Earth happens to be our ONLY life support mechanism until then, and the destruction could kill Earth long before then... At the First Earth Day, Public Transportation was touted. Since then, the SUV has taken over the roads, the roads have been expanded, still not enogh to satiate the Single Passenger Car Monster. The Oil and Coal industry fight very hard against public transportation, call it "socialism". There's a growing industry in Solar Power, which the Oil and Coal industries, and the automakers, sick their TeaBag attack dogs on any possibility of Government assistance in the advancement of the technology. While and at the time lining up every budget cycle, or as they call it "Feeding Time", sticking their fat corporate snouts in the Welfare Trough. Disposable packaging was a newer technology, only a few decades old. Now that has mushroomed, (mushroom is a good image, it's the fruiting carpophore of Mold, if you will: the Flower of Decay) as have Disposable Everything. Earth might have given herself a gift in the form of increased vulcanism. Since "our" political leaders can't pull themselves away from the Corporate Welfare Trough or grow any kind of Spinal Fortitude to stop the Oil and Automobile and Disposable Toxins industries from killing our planet, at least it will slow down Global Warming. Maybe long enough for them to get their fat porky Collective Arse in gear. Mama Nature is doing for us what we should have been not-too-damn-greedy to do for ourselves.Not being a killjoy, I hope, We do need to inject a LOT of righteous anger into the discussions today. Not Aggressive Violent Whiny Tantrums like the Tea-Bags throw, but a similar level of energy. Remind the "conservatives" that the root of their name is "conserve". Not, you know, wasting everything in a hedonistic orgy of greed. The ecology is the very root of our economy.
Right Wing “News” report at Channel 5 downing Health Care
Said that the people WITH Health Care outnumber those without, therefore,The American People don't care. Meaning his Republican/Tea Party Propaganda Masters at "freedom" communications corp. and his Fascist Ass don't give a DAMN about Americans who are DYING from lack of available health care. It's the puke with the Marine Corps haircut. The literally God Damn tea-party so-called "Patriots" like him are too Cowardly to tell somebody to his or her face that he or she doesn't deserve to live And that's the REAL Issue. The Coward Pukes want Americans to DIE They're led by pukes like Glenn Beck, chickenhawk supreme, who has said that America needs to be massively attacked by Terrorists so HIS Masters in the Slimey Bush Ex-administration can get back into power. That's the type of Cowards who lead them, who they look up to, respect, honor... So that's the kind of Slime the Tea Party is.
