Going Rove

Just want to drop in today to add something new to the American lexicon.

"Going Rove": When an individual or group clings to incredulous fantasy in the face of irrefutable fact.

Thanks Karl, you've been quite instrumental in bringing yet another very descriptive term to our language. None of us will forget "dangling chads" will we? I'm guessing that "Going Rove" will be even more popular. That meltdown on Fox Nazi News guarantees years of Youtube reruns, thoroughly engraining your clown status in the minds of any and all Americans capable of independent thought.

Akin to "Going Postal", or "Going Rogue", you've set the bar incredibly low; the next Retardican propagandist need merely trip over your gutter's high water mark to achieve some semblance of rational perception in the minds of the electorate.

We would also be remiss if we left out thanks to Rupert Murdoch here. Without his misguidance the whole affair may have turned out much differently. His cohort of right wing-nuts, a collection of pseudo reporters/side show pitch men crossed the line into straight up Nazi propaganda that Goebbels would have wholeheartedly endorsed. Some how they miscalculated the publics view of those ideas. How very odd considering that America helped the Russians who lead the way in kicking that ass in World War II.

One more thought in passing before I go do something far more interesting than this, like picking up the dog shit in my backyard: Being an angry old white dude or lady, just isn't going to get you where it once did. Please back away from the hate, step out from the Fox Nazi News chamber of disreputable propaganda, and join the rest of us in the twenty first century. If Lindsay Graham can face the fact that it's over, there's hope for the rest of you too.

Muchas Gracias.

Round 3: The Knock Out Punch

Winner, and still champion by TKO in the 3rd round, by a 2 out of 3 judges decision,
Barry"the Bomba" Obama. Bummer Mitt, you had Barry on the ropes in the early going, but you caved during crucial give and takes, consistently contradicting yourself, and showing the world your true nature.

Mitt Rmoney will say anything to anyone in order to garner their vote. The man stands as tall and stout as the shifting sands of the Sahara. Snakes have more backbone.

When it comes to America's political scene one truism stands out; regardless of party it's about power.

This election however pits a 3D vision of the future against a blurry view of the past as perceived through a sepia tone print of glory days gone by.

Rmoney, and Ryan want you to believe that your grandfathers and great grandfathers had it best when they worked without collective bargaining under harsh take it or leave it conditions. They want you to forget your forefathers hard fought battles that secured a middle class for America.
The oligarchs running corporate America had little or no interest in building a strong educated workforce; quite the contrary, their only goal was personal enrichment. Knowing full well that the better educated the sons and daughters of these workers became, the harder it would become to maintain the indentured servitude nature of their fathers employment. In Rmoney's mind it's not much different today.

Rmoney and his ilk have spent the past 25 years dismantling America's manufacturing capacity, shipping jobs and technology to China, Taiwan, Japan, Latin America, Mexico..., all in the name of corporate dividends.
At least that was the company line:
"We're just doing what's best for the company and it's shareholders..."
In reality; they were actively breaking unions with an eye towards rolling back collective bargaining agreements that actively fed and nurtured a strong American middle class.
I mean how can they truly be in control, when they have to meet the demands of the peons they've deigned to employ? Power implies control, beware those who seek either.

Rmoney and Ryan want you to believe that the prevailing wages paid to non union employees have nothing to do with the wages paid to union represented workers. When collective bargaining is eliminated under their plan, how fast do you think real wages will fall?
My guess is, that descent will be mind numbingly rapid, akin to a death spiral in an out of control aircraft.

After securing the death of collective bargaining the next assault will be on our private lives, with the government of R&R doing all they can to insert Big Brother into our bedrooms. Roe v Wade will be the first target, with R&R expending the bulk of their political capital in a Quixotic misadventure the Taliban would be proud of. Much the same way Barry ignored the economy to pass BarryCare.

They fight not for the honor and humility of service to country; but for the opportunity to enrich themselves and their close financial supporters.

If Mitt felt so strongly about serving; how come he took two deferments from the draft during VietNam? I guess he felt entitled to dictate the terms of his service...

Putin, Russia's Little Big Man

Ever notice how through the annals of history we've been periodically burdened by teeny tiny little men who strive to project the visage of giants? Why is it that Russia has been afflicted with more than their fair share? The former USSR before them? If you're not thinking Stalin, then you're not thinking. Is there something in the neurological makeup of miniature men that compels them to seek dictatorial power?

Vlad is a pretty short dude, with a very bad attitude towards his people. I like how he gravely took the mantel from Medvedev(another micro man), and thanked the millions who turned out to vote for him.
Unfortunately he neglected to mention the 10's of millions who detest him, and clearly did not vote for his cult of personality. No these Russian citizens were set upon by the police in an effort to clear the streets for his coronation, 'er I mean swearing in. Vlad baby, if Berlusconi is the most prominent foreign dignitary attending your pompous soiree; what does that say about your presidency, your legitimacy?

When a narcissist insists upon revealing himself as such with the frequency of a Vlad the Inhaler, take notice people you do yourselves great injustice when you allow these self serving tadpoles to swim freely in your political cesspools.

Russia rightly belongs in the pantheon of great nations, but peeps(little marshmallow candies..) like you Vlad are just a piece in the corrupt landscape of a ginormously surreal Dali-esque painting that Russia can never seem to escape.
