To My Knowledge: One Does Not Equal Fifty

Last time I checked, 1 in 100 equals 1%.

Not exactly revolutionary. Nor major. Just... you, know. One.

So why is the right collectively circle-jerking over *one* senate seat? One?

Really?

My dare to the GOP; go ahead and filibuster.

Do it.

Reconciliation has happened more often in recent history than the GOP cares to recall.

A big one that cut Medicaid funding: Bush's 2005 "Deficit Reduction" bill.

Yeah, when the going gets tough, cut off the poorest laborers in the nation.

Why not add a side of health care coverage denial with that? It's low-cal and oh-so-cost-effective.

When the flu season fires up and those who cannot afford to take sick days because they have no health care (or sick days) go to work sick and prepare food, or clean hotel rooms, or drive cabs, or harvest produce, and use public transportation... then will that *one* vote really matter?

I suppose when you are down, every scrap of a mote of a hint of a lint of a whiff of a win counts.

Go ahead.

Stick with that 1%... or 41%... still not a majority. But I suppose when you have a huge group of pusspusses like the Dems, one really does equal fifty.

We only had two--imagine 14,000

Despite Sarah Palin's delusion otherwise, we had only two choices in November: Obama or McCain. (I'm not counting the libertarian candidate, sorry).

The elections in Iraq wrapped up without "major" violence today. They had 14,000 candidates running for 440 council seats all over Iraq. A full 1/4 of the candidates were women, too. In case you missed the news last night:


There was a skirmish over whether or not a voter could bring a cell phone into a polling place. I guess it isn't that outrageous considering cell phones are many Iraqis' only means of communication and when you think about teenagers getting shot for their Air Jordans not that long ago.

A few bombs were disarmed, some mortars exploded near a polling place (no casualties). I suppose that could be categorized as no "major" violence.

And here we thought long lines and under-staffed poling places were bad?

The preliminary results won't be in until Tuesday. Then we'll see what happens in terms of how they cope with outcomes (think Coleman vs Franken only with lots and lots of AK47s).

I'm grateful they had elections and hope that things turn out well.


In our own world of politics

Seems the GOP has a new leader. He's got a bit of an identity crisis, which apparently the GOP is willing to overlook. Only two years ago in his Senatorial campaign he used the word "Republican" only twice, and even distributed signs that read simply: "Steele: Democrat". So, it appears as though the GOP has its first African American Leader (who also happens to be a closeted Democrat). I don't know how much you know about this guy, but I think he's an ass. But then again, look who his chums are.

I cannot wait to get online today and read the uproar in the right-wing-nutteries.

It's a good day, this Saturday January 31.

Hope it's good for you all, too.

Country first? My ASS!

How's this for sour grapes and hypocrisy?

Headline: Geithner Confirmation Hearing Postponed To Next Wednesday

Perhaps the most important of the immediate crises facing our country and the GOP is going to stonewall this appointment until AFTER the inauguration?

Selfish, stupid, ass holes.

Does the GOP have even three brain cells to share among all it's members?

That party is a mess. They can't decide which side of their mouths to talk out of. This week: not having a college degree is bad. Weeks ago: having a J.D. in Constitutional Law is bad (re: Obama). Next week: Being related to anyone who has a college degree is bad.

So much for the campaign season talkity-talk-talk BS of bipartisanship.

We're taking notes, GOP folks. And our memory will be long. We won't let you ever forget what you've done to our country and how you continue to try to keep the US in turmoil.

Country first? Not if the GOP has anything to say about it.

Good GRIEF: QUIT BEING SORE LOSERS!

Well, they can try to get rid of the sore part; the loser part might be there to stay.

To all repugs out there (you know, those especially nasty conservatives--not all) who voted for Bush twice (or even once), here's some great pics of your lamest duck ever:*

This guy was leader of the free world for the past 8 years. No wonder our country is in the shape it is.


There's a fella afraid of a tennis ball (yet he's playing cricket, did they give him a "special" ball?).


"Yup, over and out." I don't know what's worse: the A-ok sign or the "hrmmph" face. Either way we won't have to see his goofy mug much longer.

PS:

Barack Obama had nothing to do with that IL GOV 'tard. Here's an excerpt from the transcripts released yesterday:

"On Nov. 10, Blagojevich griped the President-elect - "this motherf----r" - wasn't giving him a cabinet post, yet still expected the governor to appoint Obama's choice for senator. "F--k him. For nothing? F--k him." Obama's advisers were "not willing to give me anything except appreciation," Blagojevich complained the next day to an aide. "F--k them." (BBC News).

Does that sound like Obama was in cahoots with this ass hat? Any literate, critically thinking person should say: Hell no.

God, I cannot wait until January 21 when all the nay-sayers will finally have to shut their pie-holes and eat it!

People are trying to sell the vacant IL senate seat on eBay. I love this country.
