What a joke! The arguing in Washington over how to spend taxpayers' money is made absolutely humorous by our war expenditures.
3 TRILLION in Iraq, and now another 1 TRILLION for the Afghan war.
4 TRILLION dollars flushed down the toilet while we endure the spectacle of our elected officials going at each other's throats over whether or not to extend unemployment benefits.
These pampered assclowns don't think twice about paying a mercenary $1,000.00/day to fight an unwinnable war that has no conceivable benefit for any American. Paying an unemployed worker $200.00/week to feed his family is cause for serious debate.

Could Have Had A SURGE In Sane Foreign Policy
Listening to our generals in Afghanistan desperately trying to sell their insane war, all I can think is: What a blown opportunity!
Obama had the House, Senate, and an optimistic country behind him. He could have "won the hearts and minds" of Americans by just getting us the hell out of there.
I voted for Obama because I wanted change. Unfortunately, he has joined Johnson, Nixon, Clinton, and Bush as just another president without the balls to end a disastrous war.

Looked Like He Was Sinking--Now That He's "Shaking Down" BP, Maybe He'll Float
The verdict on Obama's handling of the oil spill by some Republican legislators reminds me of how the good Christians of Salem Mass. tried witches. The accused was bound in chains and thrown into a pond. If she sank and drowned, she was innocent. If she floated, she was guilty and burned at the stake.

"I'm Sorry You're Being Attacked, Ma'am, But Your Debit Card Is Overdrawn. Please Feel Free To Call 911 Again When Your Finances Are In Order"
To those believing that health care should only be for people who can afford it: What if we applied the same principle to other elements of American society--for instance, public safety?
Should police protection be available only to those above a certain income level?
The social contract between a government and its citizens is broken when the basic needs of the citizens are ignored.
Is defending a life against disease less important than defending it against criminals or foreign invaders?

Hymie Rosenberg, LeRoy Jackson, and Pepe Hernandez Weren't Available For That Mission
I support Obama's decision to finally end NASA's costly, and scientifically irrelevant, manned moon flights. What's the point? We've already been there, done that. Half the world doesn't believe it, the other half doesn't give a shit.
My only question concerning our big moon adventure is: Was first man on the moon, NEIL ARMSTRONG, chosen for anything other than his name?

Get Yourself A MBA--They're Hiring More VPs At The White House
It's funny how those patriotic, rugged -individual Tea Party types are so terrified of socialism, but not bothered at all by Corporatism.
They don't mind that:
--Nearly all of our food is processed by 4 giant corporations
--Our health care is managed by a handful of monster insurance companies
--Our homes and savings are entrusted to a few "too big to fail" financial institutions
Here's an idea: How about we change the name of the country to The United States, Inc. Instead of a president, we'll elect a CEO. He'll have 50 vice presidents and everyone in Washington will be paid 20 million dollars a year plus bonuses.
Would that make you Tea Party assclowns feel better about having a federal government?

But He'll Get New Street Cred With The Teabaggers. Remember, Next Time Around He Has To Be ELECTED
Regarding Gov. Parnell's veto of the bill extending health care to needy Alaskans because it does not forbid abortion:
IN ONE MASTER STROKE HE HAS PROVIDED THE STATE WITH MORE UNWANTED CHILDREN AND FEWER FUNDS TO CARE FOR THEM.
Brilliant!
