Workaholics

Just saw a statistic that we take less vacation than other developed countries and that many people are afraid of taking vacation because they might lose their job or look bad. Just another example of our kind, supportive society at work. All work and no play makes Jack a head case.

This Protestant work ethic gives us a lot of headaches and generates a lot of humorless workaholics who don't know how to connect on any other level other than work.

US Post Office Stamp Prices

Another sign the economy has tanked in the last seven years is how frequently stamp prices would go up. Remember the days when stamp prices didn't go up every year or six months?

The Rich Create Jobs

If this were true, we would have the most wonderful employment figures ever and the middle class would be doing great because the last seven years has created an explosion of these supposedly job-creating rich people. The key word in trickle down economics is trickle. You can't pay for expensive healthcare, energy, food, mortgage and gas with a trickle.

Failing Economy

When you weaken the middle class you weaken the economy. A country skewed toward helping only the rich tends to shaft everyone else. Then the experts are surprised by the tanking economy. Of course GM is tanking, nobody has the money to buy their cars.

The Incredible Shrinking Products

Have you noticed how we're paying the same or more at the supermarket for items that keep getting smaller? Just another sign of a great economy courtesy of the right wing.

Fear of Illegal Immigrants

Did you know many people are petrified of illegal immigrants? Then they crap in the toilets the illegal immigrants clean, eat the food the illegal immigrants cook and enjoy the lawns the illegal immigrants mow. Then they look the other way at the companies that are paying the illegal immigrants sub par wages to wash dishes. And who can ignore those huge lines of people clamoring for the jobs these illegals are taking away from our citizens? People are literally lined up to clean toilets. Yeah, those illegals are sure screwing everything up. If you are afraid of illegals you're either a racist or a douchebag or both.

Pit Bulls

What is it with people wanting to own a dog that is genetically programmed to latch on to things with great ferocity? Just another example of the small penis syndrome sweeping the country. It also speaks to how scared everyone is about everything. So scared that we must own super aggressive dogs.

Hummer

This is the manifestation of a culture obsessed with big wangs and scared of everything. Owning a Hummer is based on the same fear and insecurity that drives people to own a pit bull. The more aggressive and big you want to look the weaker you are inside. Truly strong people don't have to broadcast it.

Tribunals vs. Court System

The only reason beside expediency on the battle field for tribunals is to obfuscate or hinder the exposition of the truth. All criminals, no matter how hideous, should be tried in our court system, in the open, with no secrets so that there is not even the hint of any impropriety. The reason certain high value detainees are not being tried in the open is that it would reveal how horribly the Administration trespassed on the Constitution and defied our current civil and military laws. All because of their small dicks, including the second in command.

You're a Conservative?

What kind of supreme douchebag do you have to be to call yourself a conservative nowadays. After seeing what currently passes for conservatism destroy the country you'd have to be a complete idiot to still identify with this group. Just goes to show how juvenile our culture is, including our inability to admit we're dead wrong.

Illegal Immigrants and the Law

Make no mistake: The people who consider illegal immigration to be a law and order issue are the same ones who look the other way when the very politicians they support break the law.

Silver Bullet

There are some really stupid sayings in the political world. One is Silver Bullet, as in, "We don't have a silver bullet that will fix that problem," or some other meaningless variation. This is a saying used by a famous formerly gap-toothed Secretary of State and others in the same Administration to refer to a "magic cure" or "solution." Maybe they mean to say magic bullet. Or could it be that they are referring to The Lone Ranger or computer jargon which don't make sense either.

The silver bullet is more properly and commonly thought of as the thing that kills werewolves or a common nickname for a popular light beer, not for solutions to the world's complex problems. Idiot sayings, idiot policies.

Decline of Our Country

What more proof do you need of the decline of our country than the amount of senseless crimes, including murder, that are commited? A society that doesn't care for its own breeds individuals who don't care for themselves or others. It might be helpful for all the conservative folks out there to re-evaluate their belief in letting people fend for themselves until they are so screwed up that they commit crimes.

If we cared for our citizens we would not have the epidemic of violence we currently have. Just another symptom of the culture of responsibility. Translation: Culture of you're on your own.

Don't believe me? Listen to a certain fat radio host and then decide what kind of country his vitriol would create. Or there's that Skeletor looking blonde lady that spews venom. Yeah, their beliefs would make the country more peaceful. I've also got a bridge that I'd like to sell you.
