Class Warfare For Real--the American Les Miserables

Gregory Taylor, Homeless Man Sentenced To 25 Years For Stealing Food, Ordered Released From Prison (2010)

Will the Wall Street Banksters Ever Be Held Accountable?


https://www.commondreams.org/view/2010/05/15-0

Victor Hugo "Les Miserables" was prescient in its plot. Steal bread go to prison for years. Steal billions and get bail outs. In addition, true to the book, in the case listed above the relentless Javerts go after a hungry man.

Class warfare will continue long after we depart our foreign battlefields.

Chuck Toad compares Senator Warren with Wingnut Cruz

Another example of false equivalency at its worst brought to you by the completely unctuous beltway inside Chuck Toad.

Hurry Get Your Movies At Red State Box

No Librul titles here.

No PBS Titles

No Barney

No Teletubies

No fake Science--only real science like Godzilla (puts man and dinosaur rightly together)

We have all movies from A to Z as long as they star Pat Boone, Chuck Norris, or Chuck Norris.

Tea Baggers get three movies per dollar--four per confederate dollar.

102 Year Old Woman Made to Wait Hours To Vote

102 year old woman made to wait at the polls for hours in order to vote in Presidential Election. A woman rightly honored in the SOTU address by the President.

This outrageous treatment, and its lack of coverage by the media, makes the inconvenience of cruise line passengers seem small in comparison.

Maybe the country should be as concerned about voter suppression in our elections, as fire suppression on a cruise line.

Rubio Response to SOTU Leads to New Word

To respond to a political opponent's speech in an awkward, off-putting, physical manner.

Defined as a Rebottle.

New Term for Republican Senate Obstruction

Unprecedented blockage of White House Nominees, low rate of Obama judges getting approved, and the filibuster now a standard tactic for frustrating the will of the majority.

Senate Republicans are now the:

BLOCKED MESS MONSTER

I'm sorry if this gives Bessie a bad reputation, if alive, she doesn't deserve it.

Kerry Responsible for Meteor, Allegedly

http://www.thedailybeast.com/articles/2013/02/15/fire-in-the-sky-the-russian-meteor-s-aftermath.htmls if to add gasoline to the fire,

Vladimir Zhirinovsky, the leader of the Russian Liberal-Democratic Party, said that it was not a meteor exploding in Chelyabinsk , but a new weapon of mass destruction being tested by United States, saying: “John Kerry tried to warn the Russian foreign minister on Monday about the upcoming provocative tests that would concern Russia, but [Foreign Minister] Lavrov was away.


This accusation against Kerry comes from the local,newly organized Tea Baggsky party, apparently.

The President Meets the 47% Video Guy

I hope the President thanked him on the behalf of everyone who fought against an Rmoney takeover of our democracy.

Given that he was one of President Carter's grandsons, he helped us move toward a Better Habitat for Humanity.

(one day maybe we will know who actually took the footage)
