Cruise Ship Nightmare a Vision for a Teabagger Nation/Voyage Through the Sewage Canal

Captured in a state where only a for profit company provides for you needs. Sewage running down walls, 4 hour lines for food, double talk from the company about the conditions on the ship, supply hoarding, and old people at the back of the line hoping to get nourishment, no "government" help (except for Coast Guard helping with safety issues, apparently), and that, my friends, is the Red State, privatized, tea bagger reality for America.

Kentucky Pastor wants his venomous snakes returned from Tennessee

I wasn't aware the Volunteer State had made off with Turtle Mcconnell and Bland Paul.

Good for Tennessee.

A Triumph over plutocracy...

the link is to a new book out about the middle class winning over the plutocracy between 1900 and 1970.

What would the title of a book between 1980 and 2012 be:

"The Robber Barons Got Nothing On Us"

" Wall Street Got Paid...The Rest of You Got Laid....Off"

Suggested Titles welcome

Can't pay a debt, go to jail in Arkansas.

Working class go to jail in Arkansas if they can't pay their debts.

Wall Street banksters needing bailouts get golden parachutes and bonuses.

Mr. Dickens we could use you now.

Governor Christie Yells at Dr. Mariano

Apparently Governor Jersey made a phone call to ex White House doctor Mariano and yell at her for worrying about his health. She had concerns that his obesity posed a threat to his health, especially, give the demands of running for President or serving in that office. Note Rand Study below discussing the dangers of obesity as compared to others dangers like smoking.

Goodbye Saturday Mail Service

Article I, section 8 of the Constitution provides for the establishment of a postal routes. With Congress requiring the Postal Service to pre-fund their retirement plan for the next 75 years, something not asked of any other governmental agency, the Postal Service finds itself billions of dollars in the red.

Understand, this is an example of even how the Constitution can't stop the privatizing of government services. With Saturday mail service gone, except for packages, who will deliver essential pieces of mail on those days. Wait for it----

FEDEX and UPS.

The one 1 percent delivering mail to the 99 percent at 1 percent rates.

Blood sucking leeches. Maybe that should be the symbol of private mail carriers on Saturdays.

Teabag Brand Destroyed

Yeah, sure.

Get back to me when cockroaches are extinct and gonorrhea has been eliminated.

Also, when there are no more Bushes running for elective office.
