C'mon WIsconsin, Blow His Ass Out of the Water

Post Script- Citizens have spoken with votes. Our citizens choose a path which dreams of  individual wealth at the expense of a collective citizenry. We remain a nation of  pioneers. We only work for the betterment of ourselves.



Wisconsin has an honorable history of battle born labor protections. For those of us who remember the union's purpose to provide fair, equitable employment for working citizens, the past two generations, receiving the bounty of those fights, euthanized by less personal suffering, came to believe unions are bad guys and the rich have all the answers. In reality, the rich have sold a bill of goods- all the while cutting and reinventing education. We now have generations of Fox news stoopids.
Honor your roots, Wisconsin. Use the power  of  your votes today and show the nation we will not allow special interests and the wealthy to tear down the fabric of our working class.
Kick Scott Walker's ass.
Keep us Midwesterners true to our roots.
Send the carpetbaggers packing. (Look that word up, kids..)

Huffington Post jumps the shark

After winning a prestigious award, Huffington Post news gives us the man found eating another man's face. Not once- but for days. Courtesy of Huffington Post we have also been able to intimately follow the woman with the flesh eating virus (for days), every nipple slip an actress could possibly make, the roommates eating the heart and liver of their cohort and a sundry of other sensationalized bits of salacious garbage.
You know, there are just some things I don't want to know about. I really don't.
The National Enquirer is tame compared to Huff's latest thrill seeking garbage.
Jump the Shark, why don't you....

Insomiac Observations of the Stoopids

Can't sleep. It's 3:10am. So my mind fills with to dos and oh my god, did I forget that, too?? thoughts.
It came to me tonight that Google Chrome is a lot  like a parking lot full of pigeons-if you are around them, no matter what you do they won't go away. In fact, if one or two discover you a whole flock will settle around your body just waiting for the next crumb.
Once Google Chrome is on, try and close it. You think its closed. It isn't Try using CC Cleaner and you'll discover Google Chrome stays open -against your wishes. CC Cleaner will ask you if you want to force it to close so you can clear your browser.
Just like pigeons I  expect to open my front door one day and there it is -all my private information, just out of arms reach..pigeons -they survive no matter the conditions. Google is doing a great job with that..

A man eating another man's face. Did they have to put it on the frickin news? Has reality TV distorted our senses so we constantly need an upgrade of horror? Isn't bad enough we have spent that last two years listening to republican nominees (puleese) stump the country with their birther rhetoric?

Someone tell me how the rich have managed to convince an entire nation that taking everyone else's money is a good thing? Could someone explain how our national parties became the Hatfield and McCoys? Willing to let our young hunger, our new graduates struggle to find gainful (and I mean gainful) employment, and tell those millions of unemployed who are now working two and three part time jobs without insurance or other benefits they are lazy and that three hundred dollars a week unemployment makes them less willing to find work?

And what is with this austerity budget? The corporations and banks are back to making big bucks yet many of our country's "ahem" well informed citizens are buying the cuts, the sacrifice rhetoric while they bank away laughing to the Cayman Islands.

Fox News has done its job well. We are a nation of stoopids (yes, different than stupid) Stupid you feel sorry for, stoopid you feel disgusted by..

National polls show Fox News viewers are the most ignorant in the nation. Of course they don't believe that. They don't believe anything except what Fox news tells them to believe. Fox News is Stoopid. The viewers are stoopid, too. Only because they believe stoopid fox news. Well, it isn't really a "news" station, it's more like a reality show with a couple of guys who sell the old National Enquirer format to viewers.
The National Enquirer is longer a sensationalized rag-have you noticed?
The National Enquirer broke the John Edwards affair. It actually does some investigative reporting.
Real investigative reporting, with picture proof and all. Wow
Back  to the face eating guy. My daughter is having nightmares. I try to avoid the story but man, the "news" stations love this one. They aren't letting it go. I guess I'll have to quit reading the news. It's too X rated for me. lol
When does our race to the bottom of the crud pile end? Reality executions? Videoed public floggings? We already have enough jail and prison TV to fill an evening. Porn? Who needs a website for porn. Go to Huffington Post or the NY Post.
We want educated sons and daughters, we rail against the schools and we have a world of shit daily in our "news", media, videos and cable TV.
Stoopid. Just stoopid

Politics: When a Shoe is Not Just a Shoe

Nikita Khrushchev allegedly pounded his shoe on the podium at the UN General Assembly meeting October 12, 1950 in protest. His outrage at the Phillipine's President's accusation that the Soviet Union was trying to dominate  Eastern European Countries prompted Khrushchev to push aside a speaker, pound his fists and allegedly pound his shoe.
What is with the shoes? In the middle east, throwing shoes is an ultimate insult. The Arabs hated George Bush. Posters of Bush with shoes was the ultimate insult. When they couldn't stand his rhetoric any longer a protester took off his shoe and threw it at him.
This morning I read of another shoe throwing protest and thought I would make my own list of protests in which I would like to throw a shoe-feel free to add your own!
1. Big Banks and Wall Street .Here's a big, heavy clog for your greedy self indulgent ways. Throw it into the Bull Ring! We bailed you out and this is what we get? Slippery policies, high fees, and discriminant rule over those who feed you. Eat your young, why don't you!

2. Education-Here's a dump truck full of Air Jordan's for screwing up our education so badly all kids from age 5 up do is test their little hearts out. What a joke. Accountability is one thing. Cheating children out of educational time in order to make pie charts is a joke. Get back to the basics.

3. Politicians-Let's all throw our shoes at the system that no longer works. Don't make it your best shoes -with the polarization of our country;s banana republic congressmen, we got nothing-baby. Nothin-except a group of rich old white men on the take.

4. Here's a shoe for the grocery industry with their game of jacking up prices until no one can afford a product and then dropping them drastically. What a waste of meat and produce. I'd really like to know how much the grocery stores throw out at the end of the day to keep prices up.

5. Oil Companies-How long do we subsidize them? What a joke!! Here's a thousand steel toed work boots for your greed. Can't wait till you run out of product.

6. Throw a shoe in Las Vegas for the new level of carny game come ons used to lure people to gambling machines with little or no payouts.

7. My own personal 10 inch pointy toed high heels with dagger like spikes gleefully thrown at Mitt Romney for his headline making news that bullies, too, can run for President.

8. Here's some payless shoes to a society which promotes sex, lust and greed over caring, honor and love.

Americans fascinated with all things trashy

Sometimes I wonder if the American psyche is so fascinated with Sarah Palin because she's trash. C'mon, people, admit it. Her track record for intellect, class, and reflective thinking is zero. Americans would have voted her in to the Presidency so they could have another reality show called, "The Wrecking of America"
Rick Santorum would run a close second with his ignorant comments and sexist rhetoric.
But then, Americans love all things trashy. They avidly follow the downfalls of politicians and actors. Kim Kardashian's wedding was a hit. Her divorce proceedings and misfortunes are a maniacal hit. Americans love nothing more than a sinner, the worse the better the entertainment factor.
Class went out with Fox. Married with Children was so popular it continues reruns. My Name is Earl is another favorite of the male gender.
The lower the bar, the more Americans eat it up.
Why is that? When did we become a country so proud of it's baseness we are willing to sell out our neighbors?
A country of citizens  once proud of our heritage, our culture of democracy and the rights of citizens now roots around in the lowest common denominator and calls this phenomena "the average joe."
The American collective psyche believes in the power of forgiveness. There must be some kind of power in that fallacy. Believing one has the right to forgive atrocious and or destructive behaviors. Kind of like the American females fascination with and following of serial killers. Some thrill in writing to them in prison and marrying one on reality tv. Oh, don't laugh. It will happen.
I think the fascination with the Hunger Games is it is the ultimate reality television. Americans would like nothing more than to send their children (with big bucks pending) in to win the glory of the media exposure.
I sometimes wonder what European countries really think of us? Many with thousand year old cultures, what do they think of this brutal, dense, judgmental rhetoric citizens accept without questioning?
Wait for the echo you will soon hear,
"Let the games begin!!"

Rush Limbaugh Nothing to see here....move along

Rush Limbaugh has occupied his space long enough. His shock value is nothing compared to the Republican Presidential candidates farcical displays of low intellect. Fox News and Rush Limbaugh have played their parts in  the dumbing down of America. Give him his Wikipedia place in history and let us move on-to even dumber downed horizons.

Closeted Racists, The Most dangerous of all

I am in my fifties. A quiet looking old lady, I suppose. I must be harmless looking because I can't believe the things people tell me. I just sit quietly and listen. Until I can't take it anymore. Then I call the person out on their racism.
A closet racist gets along in the world. Why? They have black or Hispanic bosses. They know how to play the game. You won't hear a word from them about the race of important people in their quest for a living wage. But I sometimes wonder how destructive this kind of dishonesty will play out in our nation. Don't be so worried about the blatant racists. I have more respect for them. At least their rants and hatred give you a pretty good heads up . The closet racist could be sitting next to you at work and you wouldn't have a clue. They come to me thinking because I am older I must be too. It amazes me what I hear. About how blacks have become more uppity since Obama was elected. How Treyvon shouldn't have worn a hoodie. About how our country has changed since a black man was elected into office.
Men and women spew racial hatred. These are supposedly educated people, those with enough exposure to the world to know our country is fast becoming caramel colored.
I don't even want to understand how seemingly educated people come up with these ideas. The closet racist is dangerous because that kind of ignorant hatred doesn't just go away. It permeates our airways, digs into the psyches of their children and spews hatred in a much more passive aggressive manner.
I understand that whites are fast becoming the minority in our country. The fact we have old white men running for office in a desperate attempt to maintain a losing status quo will place us right up there with South Africa and apartheid.
Our jails are full of young black men. Our profiling police forces are a testament to our continued national racism.
I was asked recently why I was not "so racist" coming from the era I was born into (the 1950's).
I asked, "What difference does the era make?" We choose our paths in how we think and what we believe. Oh, sure, we can be influenced by our experiences, but we don't need to be owned by them.
Understand our horrific history of racism to not just blacks, but Japanese, (internment camps, Chinese (indentured servants) the annihilation of the Native American population, the underpaid and horribly treated migrant population and maybe an understanding of the nature of the American citizen will emerge.
Closeted racists are dangerous. They are dishonest, politically correct cowards.
There are too many of them in our country and no one calls them out.
Our global world will not tolerate racism. Our country needs to grow up. We are thousands of years behind other countries in terms of maturity but we need to expand our view of the world and its multicolor or we will be seen as uncivilized, dangerous and barbaric. Rightly so.
