if you read this daily kos marcos post--which i rarely do; except as a list of links and a welfare program for entry-level democratic establishment apparatchiks, daily kos
lost all relevance sometime in early 2003--you see a prime example of
what may be actual cognitive dissonance but is more probably bullshit
when it comes to his purported support for 'fighting liberals' that
suddenly morph into 'fighting democrats'. that's the tell. the daily
kos crowd, the establishment 'left' blogs have nothing to do with
liberal causes or left-wing philosophy. instead the are all about
promoting democrats and electing democrats, not liberals, not socialists, not progressives, not populists or anyone who is not completely loyal to the democratic party establishment.
the (relatively) big left wing blogs are not left wing at all because
the democratic party is not at all left wing; as obama has proven over
and over again, the democrats are rock-ribbed establishment, wall-street
conservatives with as much of the proper fealty to the oligarchy as the
reality-based republicans. so when all these folks talk about electing
democrats--how'd that big push for stephanie herseth work out,
marcos?--they are gathering up as many of the left-leaning
interweb-americans to the conservative democratic party cause as they
can. not a bad deal for the oligarchs. money well spent.
oh, yeah, baby, the democrats in congress and barack obama are doing their bestest to
destroy any reason to vote for obama or congressional dems
this year by acting like fucking morons and adopting all of the
1%-favored economic austerity policies with a wink and a smile. with
all the bullshit in this tax and unemployment deal, the rock-ribbed
conservative democrats are again showing their true colors and
pulling the lever for republicans this year.
digby is right. cutting the unemployment insurance is a terrible
idea. terrible because it hurts the unemployed people and terrible
because
it hurts the economy and the population as whole by removing stimulus money! all
these assholes--republican and democrat alike--want to do is punish the
poor and unemployed and continue to redistribute the wealth of the
nation up to the 1%. when the democrats are every bit the repugnant
assholes that the republicans are, why would anyone vote for
a loser?
this was not a movie. it was only 78 minutes long and was missing quite
a few obvious scenes in addition most of the purported comedy. i think
it was a rejected pilot for an fx network show. maybe comedy central.
that sad thing is, there was could have been something
here. there was the germ of a good idea. the setting was grand
rapids, michigan, which is one of those weird, sad, worn-out and
left-behind american locales. the main characters were comfortably
non-heroic and downtrodden. fred ward. the guy and his friend were
fine. the sister was stunning. but the two tee vee actors who were
playing the villains were awful. there is a reason why some people are
on the tee vee: they are invisible on the big screen. the stripper was
played by a tee vee actor, but at least she was willing to do the thing
young women have to do sometimes to prove they can fill up a big
screen. so...where was the rest of the movie? supposedly the director
had made a movie before, so didn't he look at the script and realize
that was not a complete film there? why would you go forward? because
the check cleared? a good director would have done a rewrite, fleshed
this thing out, and made it a genuine, profane and cynical dark comedy.
maybe next time.
hahhahhahhahhah! fucking awesome. that
racist walking cockbag eric bolling had his show cancelled on fox business channel. i'm sure we'll all
shed a tear for that dumb-as-a-post piece of shit. i wonder how long it'll be until he gets replaced on that stupid fox news channel show by a plankton?
or plankton?
