Holy Hell

The House Voted No.

I’m in shock right now.  Pure shock.

WASHINGTON – The House on Monday defeated a $700 billion emergency rescue for the nation’s financial system, ignoring urgent warnings from President Bush and congressional leaders of both parties that the economy could nosedive into recession without it.

Not much to say, but maybe admit- I’m happy to be wrong.

Mark it down folks- September 29, 2008 – The House did something good and FOR the people.  Reading my posts from earlier will attest, I didn’t expect it at all. 

If this isn’t asking to much or thinking  a little to far ahead- Can we also dissolve the Patriot Act and bring back the rest of By the people and for the people?

 Now, expect a few bankers to be going on some perma trips, with a healthy side of political discourse, drama, fear, and god knows what else.  (You know, the usual M.O. when politicians want their pockets lined, the ones for the bill at least.)

To the rest,

Thank you from an American.

To citizens- be prepared for the fallout.  At least we don’t have to pay these bastards. 

We will hopefully learn from this mess.

I’m Gonna Get Me One Of Those T Rexs

TRex Gate

(Go me, I finally coined a -gate term!)

In are you for real now news this struck me a absofrikkensterical*-

Dinosaurs, People, Creationism and Palin Oh my!  *almost* as funny as The Infamous Russia Comment.  *almost*

*That is until I realized this bat-shit insane thinker ( mandatory lol) could be in charge of the country/ nuke codes/ lord know what else.

Let me get this right, the world is 6,000 years old now?  Oh? Really?  You want to teach this to kids? Oh? Really?  Howzabout no, and not just no, a big steaming pile of Oh Hell No.  Are you serious?

 Now, you more than like think that I’m just “bashing her” due to my staunch support of Obama.  No.  I don’t like any of these people.  I’d really rather not have to make a choice of the lesser of two evils (don’t even suggest I vote for an independent, they haven’t exactly shown themselves to be exactly a good ticket). 

Creationist (giggle) Theory (giggle) in and of itself is something I read as if I’m reading oh I don’t know how about Cracked?   To get a damn good laugh.  The difference, Cracked writes stuff that makes a better point and most of it is a hell of a lot more believable and logical.

In Soviet America You Lend to Banks

September 29, 2008 · Leave a Comment

“If the American people ever allow private banks to control the issue of their money, first by inflation and then by deflation, the banks and corporations that will grow up around them (around the banks), will deprive the people of their property until their children will wake up homeless on the continent their fathers conquered.” – Thomas Jefferson

Economists are freaking over the bill being debate at this very moment.  I can’t really say I blame them.  Or that I disagree.  What is certain is congress has been inundated with angry phone calls from hundred of thousands of citizens.  Which unfortunately isn’t going to do very much anymore. 

With the forced urgency to force this bill through, and the forced “concession” of the politicians weekend (collective sympathy sigh anyone?).

The sad fact of the matter is, it’s too damn late.  It’s all just too damn late.

I’ve heard the arguments over why oh why we can’t just let the bastards fail. 

I was stricken with shock at the “golden parachute” limit of $500,000 , after which they impose they “atrocity” of ”putting a tax on anything over that to the company” (we won’t even get into the bull where that much us a-OK due to it’s pennies compared to their normal pay).

I’ve had the Twilight Zone theme going on in my head now for a few weeks.  I don’t think myself nor anyone else who’s following this whole mess can take much more. 

You know thing are a bit off when we have or pseudo – American government dictated- frenemy going to bat for Americans.

Dive By’s For God

September 28, 2008 · Leave a Comment

 

The approximate extent of the Bible Belt, indi...

Image via Wikipedia

I got myself verbally accosted for being a heathen. (not here, in that thing called real life).  Apparently I committed the crimes of all crimes -  I’m not religious (I know!), I got drive by God’d (TM).  Well in the name of accuracy, biked by.  They are a breed of Christian that is quite possibly the most tedious to deal with, Religious Intolerance on Bikes. 

Jez.  I wish I we’re kidding here, but you really need to take this journey with me, they dress up in a white dress shirt, black pants, black tie, bible, and a huffy.

The dip shit ran. into. me.  Trying to convert me.  Did he apologize? Did he offer to help me get up? Of course not.  The bastard blamed the devil.

They ride around looking for the heathen’s (of which I am proudly a member apparently).  Make attempts at converting, then attempt to run the devil out of you by riding their huffy after you praying loudly.

From those sentences you might think I reside along the bible belt.  You couldn’t be further from the truth.  I live in the fancy pants state.  Although one would figure that the damn high cost of living would afford me at the very least freedom from Nut jobs, sadly not at all. 

Why is it exactly, if I were to bike a stalk someone (also breaking two laws there, riding on theFrom left to right, the bats used to hit Babe Ruth's 60th homer in 1927, Roger Maris' 61st in 1961 and Mark McGwire's 70 and Sammy Sosa's 66th in 1998.Image via Wikipedia sidewalk and nice little harassment charge) I would end up having to make bail.  The bike-by Christians- it’s fine. 

Next time, I’m planning on inserting my heathen baseball bat into their holy bike spokes. 

Blame the devil for that one.

Sheeple’s Resistance

September 27, 2008 · Leave a Comment

Sheeple

This is one of those terms.  The people who say it, seem to do so to the point of rendering it meaningless.  It simply becomes the go-to battle cry for us against Them.

Logical Discourse 101

“Them” is always some kind of monstrous representation of some hideous force, the mindless sheeple are too consumed by to notice.  It’s the verbal representation of all you are supposed to fear.  Summed up in one innocuous word.

Fear

We fear, as a species that which we cannot comprehend.  That which lurks in the shadows, just out of sight.  We cannot grasp it, nor see it.  We only know “it” and “them” are to be feared.  Don’t misunderstand their is true terrors in this world.  The horrifying part is, statistically it’s more likely to be your neighbor than the cop on the corner.

There is true evil in this world.  Monsters, that don’t live in your closet or under your bed.  These monsters live down the street, on the  next block, or a leader in the church or community.

Communicate Instead of Accusing

Try this, instead of outright calling someone a “sheeple” or proclaiming said individual being one of Them try communicating.  Logic goes much further than insults.  Take away the fear based communication.  Introduce logic and common sense.

Media’s Monopoly

You have fear shoveled down your throat everyday.  Panic induced by advertising and media.  Take a step back, really look at your surroundings.  Breathe. 

The world is bad right now.  It was never the pristine place of your dreams. 

Realize this.  Yes, this are getting worse.  You’ve survived thus far, you can make it further. 

Take away the grips of fear.

Get angry.  Let yourself get angry. 

Now tell me:  What will you do about it?

Delusional Revolution

Rocking Chairs at Historic Poole Forge

Reading what I wrote a day or so ago about Feminism’s Bastardization.  I realized I was in full on rant like a loon mode and didn’t really get my main point across (I confess, I get this way at times).   Granted, I still stand by what I wrote (no backtracking from me) but it seems my main issues with Feminism now a days (doesn’t that saying just conjure up images of drinking lemonade whilst sitting in a rocking chair?) is it’s separation from it’s original ideals. 

Simply- Equality

Not to drastic eh?  I know I can’t go around thinking everyone thinks like me.  I know damn well they don’t.  I’ll even go out on a limb and admit, I get confused with the way I think at times.  My beliefs aren’t fully set in stone (no one’s are, when they get to that point inevitably you will be so pulled in you can’t listen to anything else).  There’s also a hell of a lot of grey area.

At the end of the day though, it still seems as if acting like a free prostitutes (I know not all), is the only revolutionary thing a lot of women do now.  Claiming it’s freeing.  Honestly, that bugs the hell out of me. 

The mindless and self-serving promotion of a horribly misconstrued ideal. 

That’s not revolution.  It’s delusion.

Trickle Up Economics

September 27, 2008 · 2 Comments

I think we’re in a bit of a throwback economic mess at the moment (really, we’re full on tanking).  Now with another big name thrown in, (WaMu, namely).  Things are looking like they will just be getting choppier.  Granted I’m not really surprised at this, all in all it’s pretty much in line with what one would expect.

The government tried the economic stimulus package with it’s citizens, and aside from gambling and porn spending going up not much else changed.  So here we are, are we on the verge of a full collapse?  Reaganomics didn’t work so well.  Giving the people money didn’t work so well.  The brutally rich trickle down to every day people effect didn’t happen.  Seriously though, who the hell though that they got rich by spending? 

What wound up happening, is the taxpayer money is going to “help” the big companies that screwed themselves over with bad business.  The people who made bad deals with loans?  They’re just screwed.  That is, trickle up economics.

Ahh America…
