America's job losses..our new "war" front? Discuss........
Ok so it occurs to me that in the last eight years or so...we were attacked on 9/11, 3000 people murdered, major damage to our economy as in recession, Bush launches war, Bush launches 2nd war, let's wrap it all up in a Trillion dollar mess, another 4 or 5000 Americans dead, thousands and thousands more maimed or dead in the foreign countries. And let's not even mention that in 24 hours an entire legislative body could surround themselves in a right to life cloak of decency regarding the painful death of one poor brain dead for 14 years woman. Congress OK's it all. Got it?

So here we are in America...ho hum.... two wars continue, another deeper recession and we're losing upwards of 3 million jobs THE LAST 6 MONTHS YOU MORONS. Billionaire con artist's are holed up in a 5th Ave. apartment, bailed out financial industries butcher our treasury and buy planes and spa trips on MY FUCKING DIME and Congress? Where the hell is Congress? Bitching about some guy who fucked with his taxes to the tune of $34,000. Holding up a Clinton nomination that a person with an IQ of 60 would know is going to go through and sweating the appointment of the next AG.

DEEP BREATH. Ahhhhh...the stench of corruption in our government is the one consistent measure of my unhappiness.

Got a picture? Good. Because in the next ten days something MUST happen to break up this passivity in our generous to their own patsies.

Frankly folks, even the Mafia is more generous to the neighborhood.

8. The dysfunction and corruption applauded by our media is amazing...
Seemingly simple paradigms and common sense decisions seem beyond reach by those in charge.

Loss of 50,00 jobs and a tanking economy? One would consider that we stop rewarding companies via tax breaks who move jobs to China. Duh... A stroke of the pen would do it.

Prisoner of foreign oil? Rebuild our rail system, rebuild our electric grid and move to electric cars. We put a man on the moon..didn't we.. why can't we do green energy and put millions of people to work? Instead, we go on bended knee and ask Republicans for their approval... sheesh..

Budget deficit? Quit spending $10 Billion a month in Iraq. We might even stop pissing off the terrorists so they will quit attacking us.

Then I read where the DEA and Police spent millions of dollars and untold man-hours raiding a medical Marijuana Clinic in Lake Tahoe. (while the drug wars rage along the border)

It reminds me of the old skit from the 3 stooges... Larry, Curly and Moe.. "Doc..Doc... it hurts when I do this" Answer.. "Well don't do that".

The foolishness in Washington and the coverup by our lazy lying media.. it never seems to stop.
