Pigs Didn't Fly; World Wants To Know Why (not)!

I dunno, but I am curious why I'm not seeing more about this from the NYT or CBS, or NBC, or pretty-much anywhere for that matter.

I don't want to believe it, but it's not like it would be a huge leap to imagine that the same Big Pharma that cut a secret deal with Barack Obama, ahead of health care reform debate, would spend a few bucks, in the right places, to make everyone on the planet their forced customers ... now would it, hmmm? Oh, I'm sure the virtual media black-out on this topic is just to protect us all from those who wear the tinfoil hats, right?

How influential do you imagine the Corporatocracy? Ask the U.S. Supreme Court, then maybe think about it some more.

Oregon Scores One for WE-THE-PEOPLE vs Corporatocracy by passing 66 and 67.

As states around the country face budget crises, “deficit peacocks” continue to demand cutting social spending while ruling out tax increases on those who have benefited immensely from years of conservative policies. Oregon is one of the states that is faced with a budget crisis on the horizon. With a projected shortfall of $2.5 billion between 2009 and 2011, the state is on the verge of having to freeze salaries for public employees, end forest protection rules, and make deep cuts to education spending. Oregon’s deficit peacocks, of course, argued vigorously against considering any new taxes, arguing that harmful cuts to social spending were inevitable.

Real Angels on Christmas

 
Hey, ya wanna see real angels on Christmas?

"The Clinic" in Phoenixville, PA was created by two women who are true heroes in my book.

The clinic provides medical care to those with no insurance.

I love the "up-yours" to the private insurance company lobbyists, and Congress that their Clinic represents.

Health Care is a HUMAN RIGHT, not a privilege. Are you listening politicos? Dr. Lorna B. Stuart and the Reverend Marie Z. Swayze are what "Yes We Can" is really about. Not the tired, old, mantra of politicos.

U.S. Congress = Whores for the Corporatocracy.

Don't wait for another election cycle. Send a message to both ridiculous political parties by heading to your county elections office to change your party affiliation to independent, TODAY. I am. Fuck 'em all.

I have not posted here in months now. Sick and tired of all the bullshit and busy making a living but today is the last straw. I am fed up and I'm taking a shotgun approach which very well maybe as unreasonable as the pure crap I have been silently watching spew from the United States Congress.

From one chamber to the next, the U.S. Congress is currently nothing more than an extension of the corrupt Corporatcracy and it no longer represents the will of the people of this country and it is time to throw all the bums out from end-to-end.

http://www.nytimes.com/2009/12/09/us/09health.html

Call Congress: Health Care Reform Issue.

Here's the phone number for Congress's main switchboard, if you aren't taking the time to make that call then get ready to bend ALL-the-way-over.

Call the United States Congress at 1-202-224-3121 and ask for whichever Senators represent you, and tell 'em what YOU want in Health-care reform.

"Trust me", the Corporatocracy is telling [reads: buying] what THEY want. And it's not a pill you'll wanna swallow.

The FBI should investigate Senator Max Baucus; Senate “Gang of Six” Gangbangs WE-THE-PEOPLE!

The FBI should check Baucus’s bank accounts for a big, new deposit from the Health Insurance Lobby.

Message for Baucus: Mandate THIS!

Baucus’s Health Care Proposal is D.O.A.

Baucus’s bullshit proposal includes charging anyone who doesn’t pay his Corporate handlers a premium with a financial penalty.

Hey Baucus … I have some crap health insurance from those lower life forms and if your version of Health Care reform becomes law, I will drop it just to challenge your bullshit “mandate”.

When you come to collect the $900 fine from me you better send an army, because you’ll have to fish those monies from the pockets of my corpse.

Baucus, you and your Gangbang of Six have got your political heads so far up the ass of the Insurance lobby and your corporate handlers that it will be impossible to clean all the shit off yourself.

I’m voting for a 3rd-party next election, screw the entire lot of these clowns.

DEBTORS REVOLT BEGINS

Technorati Tags: Debtors Revolt

$45 per hour sounds like decent wages, but are there enough street corners as USA sinks to 3rd-world status?

U.S. unemployment hits 9.7% in August

meanwhile …

Mom begs at off-ramp for son's tuition

What about health care?

Does the kid get tuition but no healthcare? What happens if he gets to the college dorm but then comes down with H1N1, then what? Do the kids of Republican and Blue Dog Democratic US Senators, who are sucking at the teat of Big Pharma, Big Insurance and the Corporatocracy in general, have any similar concerns?

Ever seen an AIG executive holding up a sign begging for donations for their kid’s tuition? How about an Enron or Worldcom Executive? Citibank? Or, how about robber-baron Bernard Madoff … we know which street corner he laid claim to, Wall Street.

Hey boys and girls, Congress finally gets their rich, over-paid, over-insured, fat, pasty white asses back to work after Labor Day. The K-Street Lobbyists and their own Media Outlet (Fox News) will be in royal form as they try to kill-off WE-THE-PEOPLE by pricing healthcare out of reach for as many Americans as they possibly can. They won’t be happy until we will ALL be working the street corners. What ya gonna do to stop them, hmmm?

What are YOU gonna do? Are you going to buy into their bullshit spin about we can’t afford to have affordable and accessible healthcare for all Americans … only the rich ones? Are you going to listen to their lies about how private companies like Pfizer and the rest can manage healthcare in America better than the Veterans Admin and Medicare have been for years? Are you going to accept that they can do a better job while still paying those fat bone-us-es to their corporate executives?

Or, are you FINALLY gonna stand up and say ENOUGH and send an unmistakable, undeniable message? What are you gonna do? Which is it gonna be?

If you’re too busy, or too tired? Do you figure this isn’t your fight because you’re covered now? Whatever your situation, if you decide to sit this fight out … I suggest you start Google mapping a street corner near you.

Happy Freakin’ Labor Day!

Pfizer is a 4-time loser!

Pfizer is a 4-time loser. Four times in a decade this leading member of the Corporatocracy has been fined for screwing WE-THE-PEOPLE. Big Pharma would do their own mommas, papas and their little dog too, for a $1. These are the folks that Republicans and the right-wing want us to trust over ourselves/government. Good luck with that.

Is anyone else sick and tired of the hypocrisy of the right-wing-nuts?

How about a little fatigue from watching our country being destroyed by the Corporatocracy?

Anyone else sick & tired of watching the shadow gubbermint dictate to WE-THE-PEOPLE?

How do you feel about Fox News and Wal-Mart running the country?

Obama 'Green Jobs' Adviser Quits Amid Controversy

There was no controversy, the dude just told it like it is and his boss and the Dems failed to back him up. Wimps.

I don't like Republicans. I don't even like anyone who likes a Republican.

You gotta problem with that?

But, right about now I'm not all that enamored with Democrats either. I think the time for a legitimate 3rd party is overdue.

FTC to dampen Robo Call volume Sept 1; would be better if they pulled the plug on them altogether.

While this sounds like good news, the "exceptions" list remains too broad and the specifics of the "rules" are like Swiss cheese.

Low-life robo-calling companies will simply tweak their tactics to "informational" calls and keep-on dialin'.

The FTC is still in the pocket of the Corporatocracy. The BEST defense from robo-calls is a Google Voice phone number which allows the individual to decide what does and does not ring their phone.

But a half-a-loaf is better than none. Eventually, with the help of more & more Google Voice users, we’ll make these junk calls expensive and impractical for the offenders.

Remove the bitch from the bench.

When the country gets an enema Texas is where the nozzle goes.

No Compromise. No Co-op. Universal Single Payer or Bust ... your balls.

No slack. Ignore the noise. Do the right thing, or expect an avalanche in response. Any and every politician that gets this wrong will be defeated regardless of party. Period. No more insurance company and big pharma lackey. You KNOW what WE-THE-PEOPLE want. Screw with us THIS time, and the response will be like none other in history.

We already compromised. Single-Payer-Universal has been compromised to Public Option. Now the Corporatocracy wants more ... now they want this "Co-op" crap. Nope. Public Option is as low as we go, or YOU go.

Iowa's Senator Chuck Grassley is an owned puppet of the insurance industry.

Hey Iowa, how about "pulling the plug" on your Insurance Industry lobbyist!

"Grassley Endorses "Death Panel" Rumor"

The guy's a lying sack of crap.

Support for Health Care Reform is not what is waning. What's waning is public support for Politicians

Support for Health Care Reform is not what is waning. What is waning is public support for Politicians. Oh sure, politicians still have the big-buck support of Big Insurance, Big Pharma, and the AMA, but WE-THE-PEOPLE are out of patience.

I want what politicians keep telling us what their corporate handlers are telling them, to tell us, and that is that single payer, universal health care is impossible. Bullshit.

If Congress delivers anything less than single-payer, universal health care, then fuck 'em all (politicians) and the easy ones twice.

We are sick & tired of their stupid fucking sound bites, and their excuses and their bullshit. They voted to spend trillions rebuilding Iraq, and bailing out banks, but Health Care is too expensive? Fuck them.

We voted your lame asses into office to get this done, and if you can't git 'er done, then get the fuck outta the way, losers (in 2010 and beyond).

Done & done.

Where were all these cost-conscious politicians when the money was for Wall Street?

Have you noticed how every time you turn around there is some misguided Blue Dog or Republican politician whining about the COSTS associated with Health Care Reform?

Where were those hypocrites when their own Corporatocracies were on the ropes and failing and they came to the American Taxpayer on their knees and with their hands out, palms-up, begging to be bailed-out? Now 52 million of those same taxpayers wanna little health care but suddenly those same jack-hole politicians are all budget weary and cost-conscious!

OH SURE, it's all fine and dandy to to BAIL-OUT their corporate executive handlers with their million dollar birthday parties, their $15K platinum toilets, and their $6K shower curtains. But when it's about the 52 million uninsured Main Streeters, all of a sudden it's to much to add to the deficit.

A screwed-up health care system has been a major contributor to the demise of the American economy, not just the personal budgets of more than 52 million individual Americans. But the nut-less wonders in Congress don't have the 'nads to do the right thing in the face of pressure from their corporate handlers from Big Insurance, Big Pharma, and the AMA.

Blue Dogs hold America Hostage.Target Blue Dogs. Make 'em pay for being Republicans in disguise.

Politics is supposed to be about compromise, about give and take. When the incompetent Blue Dogs choose to hold up health care for millions of Americans, and not just the 47 million with no coverage, but the millions more who have coverage but can't afford to use it, there should be an equivalent political response.

Blue Dogs are primarily southern cracker-asses who can't do any damn thing without a nickname. Bubba, Bobby Jo, Jimmy Jo, and now Blue Dog Idiot.

Blue Dogs are holding America hostage. Alrighty then. Let 'em. Let them have their way. Compromise with them. They get THIS after which no program for their districts should EVER see the light of freakin' day again for 40 years; we get THAT. Choke 'em off. Strangle their districts. That should be the price of admission to this little dance.

Never forget the Blue Dogs, and never let the Blue Dogs forget that the rest of us will never forget their hold-up. If we can't get along, let's get it on!

Blue Dogs are bought and paid for puppets of the Corporatocracy.

"Save Your Dixie Cups, The South Will Rise Again" & "Fuck a Blue Dog".

North Korea is a bad joke.

North Korea’s shit is getting old. Kim Jong-il is a pinheaded crack-pot and his son, Kim Jong-un, is just another punk.

North Koreans should learn from the Iranian people.

The PEOPLE of Iran are getting fed up with their corrupt government’s bullshit and taking to the streets.

In North Korean they are too cowardly to stand up to their insane government leaders in mass. Let ‘em starve.

How’s it feel to drive a Fiat?

Yesterday I ask someone who drives a full-size, freshly minted Dodge Ram pick-up truck how he likes driving a Fiat.

He answered by asking me if I know what “Fiat” stands for and I ask “What?”.

He says, “Fiat stands for “Fix It Again Tony”. ;-)

I’m glad my old Jeep CJ8 was built by American Motors in Toledo Ohio.

Oregon Tax Hikes Pass State Senate. So What?

Ok, here is a link to this news in the Business Journal: http://www.bizjournals.com/portland/stories/2009/06/08/daily45.html

Big deal, so what?

Visit that link and read some of the comments left by readers and you’ll see the anti-tax crowd going into full meltdown.

Lots of attacks on “free” shit. Even on “free” shit that really isn’t free, or shit; public education for instance.

It has right-wing nut conservatives popping veins all over.

I love it. This is the part where the majority, who handed these righties their collective asses in recent election cycles, FINALLY get just a bit of satisfaction from our efforts.

The every man, woman, and child for themselves crowd … the same geniuses who have been running this country into the ground ever since Reagan. The righties that are too stupid to learn from their mistakes, and who can’t recognize the error of their ways, even when those ways generate near total collapse.

If you’re an Oregonian and you heard or read the news about this tax increase in passing but are too busy working for a living to stop and research all the facts yet, here is a highly recommended article that might help put it in perspective for ya:

Obama and Congress are Credit Card, Bank, and Insurance Industry Lackeys! Proof of a shadow gov’t!

Government for and by the Credit Card Companies. That is what America has become.

The average American just got fucked by the Corporatocracy, AGAIN.

The credit card companies sent their puppet Barack Obama out onto the bully pulpit and the stump to insult the intelligence and scold average Americans for living beyond their means on behalf of his corporate handlers.

That was bullshit. Those same average Americans have been under heavy attack by the Corporatocracy ever since Reagan, and Obama has the balls to advise them not to over-charge on their credit cards???

The honeymoon just ended. This asshole is just another slippery politician. Same old, same old. Fuck ‘em all, regardless of political affiliation. It really is “them versus us”. Don’t let anyone tell you otherwise.

Goodbye Banks, Hello Credit Unions. Make the switch, and cut up the cards. Never look back. Deposit enough to cover payroll check-cashing if you are lucky enough to still have a job, then cash it and stash it. Pay for everything you can with CASH to avoid increasing the profits of credit card companies. Think you’re not helping to grease their palms by using a debit card, forget that! They get paid every time you swipe regardless of whether it is credit or debit. Use CASH.

When you “swipe” they know what you use to “wipe”!

Obama and Congress FAILED us by passing legislation that was watered down in order to appease their corporate handlers. WE-THE-PEOPLE have to respond ourselves.

Use CASH and micro finance everywhere we can. Fight them at every turn and watch for them beg for more of your taxpayer dollars when you force their failure. Take no prisoners. Politically oppose those who vote to give them more $$$.

You can fool some of the people, some of the time. Not all of the people all of the time. Let the games begin. Start with a call to the White House: http://www.whitehouse.gov/contact/
