take back America from the jerks

So I suppose this is an ongoing thing. But President Barack Hussein Obama is a great start. And turning NC BLUE was huge for me. The Obama campaign was my blood, sweat, and tears. You don’t know hate and bigotry until you’ve been canvassing in small southern mountain communities. YES WE DID.

Mailed my absentee ballot today. I’m really optimistic that the jerks won’t have an easy-in this time around. Hopefully the country won’t put up with any tampering or bullying. Maybe the economic bottom-out was a wake up call, but perhaps the pre-election low gas prices will lull some people back into thinking the GOP actually gives a crap.
Dear world, don’t be fooled… don’t be bought with such a cheap gesture.

Closing this goal as part of my “no ‘cause-related’ goals for now” spring, erm, fall cleaning…

Michael Moore roasts CNN

Keith Olbermann ridicules Homeland Security head Michael Chertoff’s gut feeling we’ll be attacked by terrorists this summer.

...the jerks include bankers.

This is a really entertaining and informative animated film about where money comes from.

Banks conjure money. The only thing that they have of actual value is your signed promise to pay a loan back with interest. that document can be traded like money. So debt creates wealth. Banks are allowed to create as much money as is borrowed from them.

Today I was on the subway and these 2 girls got on the train with food. They stood up in the middle of the aisle, opened it, and started eating it. It may not sound like a big deal, but NOBODY eats on the train. Its something that just doesnt happen. There is not supposed to be any food on the train. When they opened up the box, the small started to fill up that part of the train. Its not that it smelled particularly bad, but I didnt like the smell – maybe because I knew it wasnt supposed to be there. So when I got to the next stop I told them there is no food on the train. Im not sure what they did at that point, but at least they no longer could say they didnt know. So much for people who think the rules dont apply to them.

from a friend:

V.I.? Why, victory in Iraq, of course. It was four years ago today that our glorious and divinely anointed president landed on the deck of a U.S. Aircraft carrier, decked out in his finest Jet Fighter Pilot costu…er…uniform and proclaimed these immortal words under a “Mission Accomplished!” banner

“Major combat operations in Iraq have ended. In the Battle of Iraq, the United States and our allies have prevailed. And now our coalition is engaged in securing and reconstructing that country.”

Pretty stirring stuff, I think you’ll agree. Why was it only a quick 1461 days ago that the war in Iraq ended. And of course since then, our troops have been showered with flowers and greeted as liberators as President Bush’s neo-conservative oracles had foretold. It would really be a mess if 3,300 Americans and no one really knows how many Iraqis had been killed in a pointless and illegal war. Why, you might even read about that in the paper.

But let us not dwell on unpleasant what-if’s. Let’s just fire up the grills, open up a a case of Bud Light, read some scripture and thank Jesus for this great and not-at-all messy or quagmire like victory for us, God’s favorite country.

Mission Accomplished, everybody

Well the boys in blue now that the majority in congress. let’s hope they can pull some worthwhile things off with the opportunity.

I have been glued to CNN.
