The party’s over. Balloon drops are all done. Empty chairs….still empty
(did you fart?)
What was the take away from them all? Media uses puffy pontification
Until “Honey Boo Boo Child” does something else really fucking stupid
like lights her farts on fire causing 3rd degree burns all up her backside
Then it’s on to non-stop 24-7 coverage of “The Ass Gas That Burnt Her”
The Republican’s put out their ideas. Fuck Obama, Tax Cuts, more war,
and deregulation. Thought Condi gave a decent speech. Mitt’s was good
(Very specific)
but overshadowed by Clint, and Rubio did a great job trying to clean the
verbal palette after Clint’s wordy diaherra mouthed stumbling man bit
If I remember right; the entire theme there was “We Built That”. While
in a publicly funded tax payer stadium paying for 62% of the $139 mil
(“Did I win?”)
They laid out no policy aside from bigger Tax Cuts for the top 3%, and
deregulation. No foreign policy, no jobs policy, no economic policy, and
really no more government. It’s “Trust us, we’re totally awesome & stuff”
After being a popped playground ball getting no bounce, Mitt’s softened
his AHCA repeal to “Well, I’m not getting rid of all of healthcare reform”
(you didn’t, we all did)
So long crazy Tea Party whacko’s. Until Mitt Changes his mind…..again
Mitt changes positions more than a coked up hooker at a frat party. Zing!
Now it’s on to the Democrats. They honestly seemed fired up. They knew
what their platform is, & have been cleaning up after Bush for last 4 years
Until they didn’t by voting for other stupid shit like “God” & “Israel” stuff
(Oh, DNC)
FOX news had a hissy fit they weren’t in there. Hey, it’s not your platform
Naturally Democrats fucked up the vote…very badly right here. Big idiots
Then it was on to loudly making their case for another 4 years of Obama
They laid out specifics: raises taxes on the top 3%, wind down Afgan war,
keep creating even more jobs by passing jobs bills, lower taxes on working
families, rebuilding infrastructure, & regulation. The difference was clear
The worst speaker for DNC convention was my mayor Rham Emmanuel
(Not Rham Emmanuel)
One side painted it that Obama has done nothing right since the history
of forever. While the other side pumps up their record a little because of
the RNC crowd not even admitting that we are creating jobs(slowly), out
of Iraq, our entire Auto industry is back, and Bin Laden is dead. The facts
It comes down to one thing. Who’s got a plan? “Fuck Obama” isn’t a plan
it xenophobic hate that hands us the same economic policies of 2000-08
(“We do good?”)
that caused our mess, then doubles down in them giving the top 3% more
tax cuts than even Bush did. All paid for by cutting programs, and raising
taxes on the middle class. We are all at an intellectual impasse if we can’t
agree on reality itself. According to RNC’ers, Obama didn’t kill Bin Laden
It’s like in Blazing Saddles when Sheriff Bart takes out Mongo, the town
changed. They became more accepting. The bigoted old lady even made
(Classy)
a pie as a thank you, adding, “You’ll have the decency not to mention we
spoke”. Sadly it is a movie. In real life things are much much worse now
No pie, & no thanks, just yell, “You didn’t even do it, Bush & Cheney did”
If we can’t even all agree that Sheriff Bart got Mongo, we’ll go nowhere
BTW-think to 9/11 how our entire country decided to all work together
Now that we’re in a financial mess that is getting better, what is it that
(Still your sheriff)
the Republican’s offer? Is it “jobs bills”? No. Is it “let’s all come together
to make our country better”? Um, nope. Is it even “We have 2 different
visions, so let’s try some of your, & some of ours”? No, for you see that
is compromise. What they have is “Fuck you Commie Kenyan black guy”
That’s about it. GOP fucked it all up, but you’re not fixing it fast enough
Rock Ridge is in trouble so the rest of America is going to keep cleaning
it up without you. The least you could do, is get the fuck out of the way
Next up, the debates. Rarely say this, but it’s gonna get ugly for the GOP
Strike THREE
Chicago teachers on STRIKE. But what’s at stake, what were they asking
for? The CPS decided to make the school day longer by 1 hour 15 minutes
(oh, I can)
The teachers & CPS basically agreed to the progressive wage increases for
them over the next 4 years for the additional time. It is not about money
It’s about the students performance on standardized tests to evaluate all
the teachers. It’s also giving more power to principals over staff decisions
Union president Karen Lewis, who has sharply criticized Emanuel, said
“standardized tests do not take into account inner city poverty as well as
(Hi, Chicago’s Mayor)
hunger & violence in the streets”. It could cost around 6,000 teachers a
job. She said, “Evaluate us on what we do, not the lives of our children
we do not control”. AKA, “Look, I can’t single handily correct for a toxic
home life, I can’t. All we can do is TRY getting through to them”. I agree
These are simple requests to me. Clearly $ isn’t the issue. They new rules
(This might never happen now)
clearly are. Hope they can figure something out soon, or the city is now
gonna fill up with over 350,000 with nothing to fucking do at daytime
And I already get called “Stupid high haired idiot” enough during a day
Tomorrow: Biden’s Biker Photo
Have a day!
