Republivention

In light of this tax bill compromise, I had a thought.  I was trying to figure out why the democrats aren't putting up a fight or why they let the republicans walk all over them.  I know that they have good intentions, some of them anyways.  So I think the reason for all of this is that they just don't know what else to do and ultimately they are enabling the Republicans. 

For example, have you ever seen that show, Intervention?  You've got the crazy crack head in the middle of the whole thing just running around like a chicken with their head cut off, ruining everyone's lives, and they don't care because they have what they want.  And then you have the poor mom or sister on the side who says, "I just want them to do the right thing" and gives them rides, money, and places to crash and do their drugs. Hmmm, sound familiar?

So what do the democrats need to do?  As that douchebag interventionist Jeff VanVonderan always says, we have to create their rock bottom.  You know what that means?  PUT UP A FUCKING FIGHT!  Create a rock bottom by telling them they can't have their way anymore.  Do something that doesn't involve rolling over and giving them all the power they want.  Because you know what's more addictive than heroin?  Money and Power.   And really, they do need a 'stupid' intervention anyway, why can't we just throw that in too?  

Grand Old Party of Hypocrisy

Allen West: Government 'Should Be Censoring The American News Agencies' That Collaborated With WikiLeaks
Seriously, what the is the GOP's problem with the first amendment?  They seem to have no problem with the second one.  Several candidates during the elections cited 'second amendment remedies' if they weren't elected, so we know that they've read at least PART of the constitution.  So, what, you only remember the parts you like?  Freedom of Speech, Freedom of the Press, and Freedom of Religion seem to escape you but that's okay with this electorate.  They were too stupid to make it past the anger and fear mongering.  Just check out one of Alan West's staffers: Joyce Kaufman

The other thing they don't seem to have a problem with is hypocrisy.  They want small government but they seem to be okay with it controlling the press, the only thing that really has the ability to administer truth anymore.  That being said, with the press becoming increasingly more biased it is not nearly as effective as it used to be.  That is why I am so grateful to WikiLeaks and Julian Assange.  He has stood up to the powers that be just to bring us the truth.  And now he's being punished for it.  Are we really surprised?  And who's next?

Dear President Obama

Dear President Obama,

 I'd like to preface this open letter by saying that I am still pulling for you.  However, do not expect me to get through the rest of your administration sober.   Like Julian Assange, I issue to you a poison pill threat.  If you don't get your shit together, I will become a full blown alcoholic.  Please find a way to save the middle class and my liver while not catering to the rich and corporations.  If you don't, much of your voting base may be too drunk to come vote for you in 2012.  

Still Hoping, 

Jill
