It's All In The Numbers.

The GOP (Gang of Prevaricators) swept into office on a tidal wave of…..check that, they slipped into the back door on the lowest voter turn out since 1942.  36% of eligible voters determined who will run the country.  Wow, isn’t that something to be proud of.  Of course the Democrats have a big part in this by not presenting more than a couple of viable candidates.

Democrats need a strong person who expresses his or her views and values in a convincing articulate way.  They don’t vote against something or someone nearly as much as they like to vote for someone or something.  They also need a candidate who is not some wimpy Republican Lite who wouldn’t stand up for their own President.

On the other hand, Republicans don’t need good candidates; they just need someone who has a pulse and say they are a Republican.  
  
And the story line of the day is that now the Republicans will have to govern.  That’s a laugh. That’s the same as handing a 16 year old kid, who has never been inside an automobile, the keys to the car and saying ok, you can drive across the country now.

George Warmonger Bush crawled out from under his rock and went on the TV Sunday.  He said he had no regrets for lying to the American people, starting an extremely costly war in lives and money, blowing through the surplus that was left him and leaving the country in a financial melt-down.  Georgey Pooh went on the say “No, I think you have to earn your way into politics. I don't think that anything is ever given to you." Yeah like this bonehead would have gotten to the oval office if his name was George W. Smith.

Stay tuned for future adventures.

Toke And Poke

Medical marijuana is now a $1.7 billion market, according to a report released Wednesday by See Change Strategy, an independent financial analysis firm that specializes in new and unique markets.  Compare that with Viagra, which is a $1.9 billion business.  I think that makes for way more “Stoners with Boners” than I ever imagined. .

And Now For Today’s Politics

Seeing the latest figures from the census showing the explosion of the Latin population in the United States, the GOP might think about learning Spanish rather than building a wall.

The former House speaker Nitwit Gingrich was quick to criticize President Barack Obama two weeks ago for not being more forceful in leading an international campaign to destroy Libyan leader Moammar Gadhafi's.  Gingrich said the United States should tell Gadhafi "that slaughtering your own citizens is unacceptable and that we're intervening."    On Wednesday, Nitwit did an about-face and said, "I would not have intervened." .  …. Wow…Mr. Decisive.  And this bonehead wants to be President?

Speaking of folks who want to be President.  Rep. Michele Bachmann (R-MN) says she has not made a decision yet on whether she will run for president. This will certainly make the 2012 election interesting if Mrs. Bachmann and Mrs. Palin both decide to run.   They would split the idiot vote. Both of these ladies have a screw loose.  Obviously it’s the screw that keeps their mouth shut.

General Electric, the nation’s largest corporation, reported worldwide profits of $14.2 billion, and said $5.1 billion of the total came from its operations in the United States.  So how much do they owe the IRS? .….ZERO, NADA, ZILCH… In fact, G.E. claimed a tax benefit of $3.2 billion.  Even as the government faces a mounting budget deficit, the GOP talk in Washington is about lower tax rates.  WAKE UP FOLKS… lower taxes for the corporate world, not for us common folks.


Stay tuned for future adventures.
