One Year Ago Today

maddow had a cute little rant about pensions and retirement tonight

finally someone on the tee vee calling 401k's a scam!  wall street steals 28% of your retirement money and private companies get to play much less in real terms since they don't pay pensions anymore!  we are fucking morons, and we keep smiling as we get raped year after year.  good for maddow.  she seemed genuinely pissed. 

jungle jack hanna and his hat looked pretty zoned tonight

jungle jack hanna was on maddow tonight to defend the republican governor and look freaked out and tired after the slaughter he witnessed.  he's definitely a douche but he looked pretty out of it tonight.

has robert reich lost it?

he was on with tweety pushing his economic plan.  did he really say cut the military in half?  what what what??  too bad he didn't have balls to talk like this when he was fluffing bubba's disastrous presidency.  70% top marginal rate?  it's a good start.

forgive them, they are young and rich and white

pampered scumbag andrew cuomo proves that he is and will always be a trusted servant.  he learned the lessons of the kennedy family well, even if his wife preferred the stable boy. 

are you 53% stupid?

lots has been said about how pathetic the 53% participants are, with so many of them seeming to be victims of the same fucked-up economic and social system they are foolishly praising.  and that is true.  so many of those assholes brag of having no health insurance or being unemployed or working murderous hours just to get by.  can it really be that they are too stupid to know they are being exploited, not just by that moron erick erickson's inane stunt, but also by the system they apparently don't know is broken.

that said, i bet most of those posts are bullshit anyway, either utter fabrications by erickson's people or made-up nonsense by the posters. 

jim demint, sweet jeebus

that's one dim bulb.  the elected servants of our ruling class tell a very sad story about the true state of our nation.

does cain think he can be romney's veep?

hermentum backing up mittens?  after the debate it seems cain is kissing romney's ass hard to get that affirmative action spot, but that does not seem like a good fit.  will romney's people think cain can deliver the bigot asshole teabagger jesus-freak vote?  there seems to be one issue with that: a romney/cain ticket will be two minorities attempting to scoop up as many of those closed-mined republican fuckers as possible.  not a sure thing.
