What is happening in London should be a HUGE warning sign for the US. That will happen here very soon if something isn’t done to fix the geometrically worsening income gap. It will happen and people will wonder why they didn’t see it coming… just like all the financial bubbles… just like 9/11. Just like all the other obvious shit that people would see if they weren’t bubbling up in plasticland.

Until yesterday, I thought Americans would never react to this injustice being done. Now, I think it’s inevitable. A whole different kind of horror.

You’ll probably go into denial upon reading this. That’s fine, but please just do remember that I told you so. It’s important to me as I am quite shallow.

ADDED LATER:
See the thing is- what the British rioters have done is they’ve made it conceivable. Americans seeing the British do this means that it’s feasible now- they can picture it happening where as before it was inconceivable… a reaction… a revolution. The world changed yesterday. This is VERY big and the US needs do so something BIG NOW to address the concerns of all the potential rioters here. Warhoop.

No More Retirement

I think today’s seniors are the last generation who will be able to retire.
In American we barely have healthcare, have no mandatory vacation, and soon we won’t be able to retire.

This is freedom.

Clinton/Obama: Bad Idea

A clinton/obama ticket would alienate the enormous percentage of americans who are anti-war. I would be a sure fire way to loose the election. Of course, they will blame it on the green party. When are democrats going to learn to court the far left in the same way the republicans court the far right?

Democrat Hipocrites

I feel that those who in the 90′s defended Clinton for getting persecuted for lying about a blow job and now are out to get Foley are hippocrites. And no I can’t spell.

I happen to have been one of those who defended Clinton BUT I also feel the same way about Foley. We mustn’t have double standards. It disgusts me to see so many left wing politicians and bloggers stoop to the level of the likes of Ken Starr and Linda “Mac Truck Face” Tripp.
Why go after Republicans in this manor when you can go attack their policies? Oh no that would be too honest; too direct. You would have to actually have principles you’d have to own and stand by. That would require soome humanity.

Get fucked. I’m tired of it.

Stupid Americans Don’t Know Even ONE of the Three Branches of Government

USNews.com: Nation & World: What Supreme Court? Many Americans lack basic Supreme Court knowledge
A sobering new survey of the public’s knowledge about its own government shows that fully one third of Americans are unable to name even one of the government’s three branches, and just over half believe that the president must follow Supreme Court rulings.
