This Country is insane!
We are divided like never before! Thanks George! Attacking a Mom who's son was killed in a war based on LIES! Mowing down a memorial for fallen soldiers? And the "liberal" media barely covers it, at best, and tries to play down? I am ill! We have a pResident who is more concerned with his exercise regiment then gas prices? Those gas prices are causing working class Americans to quit their job because they can't afford to drive to work! And the pReident rides his bike.

1. We'll all be riding bikes soon...
And, as a resident of another country, I also say, Thanks George!
Idiot.

7. Nope, they'll ride a little foo fighter up to a mother ship
And take up residence on another planet they can colonize and destroy. I guess the fundies are right when they say we'll be "Left Behind".

3. He ain't the only one.
I'm going to have to start riding MY bike if I want to have enough money left for food and medicine...

15 fucking miles ONE way, AND I gotta put up with co-workers and Superiors (well, THEY think they're "superior"...) when I'm done.

well, shit, I was wanting more exercise anyway, I guess...Hope I can save enough before the snow flies so I can drive all winter...

So tell me, Red Murka, you STILL wanna "have a beer" with the mutha-fucker?

10. 15 Miles one way for me as well....
I was talking to coworkers today and decided if gas prices keep going up I'll have to ride a riding lawn mower to work or something.

Probably wont get a pay raise that amounts to anything this year again either. The last two years of raises didn't even cover the cost of living increase.

I work as an estimator and I see all the numbers. The private corporation I work for is making money hands over fists, but of course the hard workers never see any of it. It will be the same old thing. This division didn't do well, or we had to buy new computers or what ever. It is always some stupid made up bull shit excuse. Some would say, he quite and find a new job, but they are hard to come by.

Mean while the poor get poorer and the rich get richer.

Where and when does it all stop? It can not keep going the way it is. Something has to give or you will see more and more US workers in the poverty level.

If we stop out sourcing to China we will have more jobs in the US, but then we will pay higher prices for goods with money that we don't have.

My second rant for tonight.... Sorry

5. No kidding!
I mean, the meme from the Vietnam era was people spitting on soldiers as they returned and the Right still fumes about that (whether it was true or not). and here we have this guy mowing down crosses in memorium of soliders who have died for their country (put up by liberals, no less) and the media ignores it and rightwing zealots actually seem to relish it.

We're in some sort of time warp, methinks... nothing makes sense anymore...

8. We survived the division of the sixties and seventies-we survived
the gas crisis of the seventies---we'll survive this.

The good times don't last---the bad times don't last.

12. I agree it is getting worse regarding the extremists, but more and more
are switching alliances with the boy king...the extremists agreed are becoming more extreme, but the moderates of which I believe they hold the majority of that party are attempting to find a way to take thier party back without giving the Dems back power, I don't think they realize that is a no win situation, they must severe all ties, at least for a time...

22. Swamp Rat, I have always been in awe of your talent
Don't get me wrong, I appreciate your efforts, but this...why show a normal photo of him? Do one of your special ones, the ones which show how truly evil he really is?

Wait a minute...no...this has ALREADY been changed? Sorry, Swamp Rat, I was mistaken. While excellent, as all of your work is, this just didn't seem quite evil enough to really convey the Chimp and the way he really is. So sorry, I spoke out of turn. I hope you can forgive an old lady.
