Yes, its my fault and I shamefully admit it. I don’t know all the major players in Washington, I should but there’s just too many, in front and behind the scenes, to keep track of. The ones I do know, like my state Senators and Representatives, just don’t have the juice to get anything done, or have the time to listen to the average American. So like a blind idiot, I sit in front of the TV during the evening news and shout insults to the talking heads. I rant and rave my dissatisfaction and in the end, all that’s happened is my blood pressure has risen dangerously. I’ve often given thought to the situation, I know, bad for the mental health and wondered just what I, just one senior citizen, can do about it.

In another post, I stated that we’re a non-issue because we don’t contribute enough money to political campaigns for these blowhards to get reelected. I still fell that way but thinking in a different direction, I have to ask why should we, after all, they work for us, draw their paycheck from the public treasury, have benefits the rest of us can only dream about and have a Colgate smile. I wouldn’t care if they had wooden teeth like George Washington if only they would do their jobs, represent us and not big business and special interests. We all know that is not going to happen because they know where their extra money comes from and it isn’t the little guys like you and me. Can anyone name even one politician who DID NOT become a millionaire while in office? I can’t and it sickens me.

Even those voted out of office continue to make money at our expenses, they are called lobbyists, the scum sucking, bottom feeding, lower than whale sh*t form of useless life form. Example, Karl Rove and Dick Cheney. We all remember our former vice president who continued drawing a salary from Haliburton while steering no-bid government contracts their way, but did nothing wrong, so he claims. If you believe that, I have some prime beachfront property to sell you east of Denver. Haliburton’s contract to build housing for our GIs has resulted in numerous deaths by electrocution, faulty grounding of electrical systems. But they did nothing wrong. You won’t read anything about that in the news now, its been buried.

Now we have our government trying to shove their version of health care reform down our throats while extolling its virtues, as if it had any. If I’m reading the bill correctly, and I have read it, unlike our Congressmen/women, it was written by the health care industry in cooperation with the pharmaceutical companies, designed to maximize profits at the expense of the American taxpayer. And we’re supposed to fell good about it. That is bad enough but now there are rumors floating around that there will be another round of bailout funding for those who missed out the first time, that doesn’t include those of us who would need it the most. President Obama has in his first nine months in office, driven the United States to a new record federal deficit, $1.4 trillion, with a capital T, trillion and he still has three years and three months to go. I shudder as to what he’s capable of in those three years.

Yes, I’m writing my Congressman, I know who he is now, and telling him that I don’t suport the current policies of spend, spend, spend. It has to end and let the market sort itself out. If AIG, Bank of America, Chrysler or insurance companies can’t compete, then the American taxpayer shouldn’t bail them out, There is no such thing as “too big to fail.”

The answer is simple - we don’t contribute enough money to reelection campaigns for our concerns to matter. I base this on several news sources but mainly on my personal observations of my elected representatives, both in Congress and the House. It has been documented that six of the Senators responsible for hammering out a new health care bill have accepted $11.5 million from pharmaceutical companies, others just haven’t been found out yet. Something new? No, this has been going on for many years and has cost Americans billions in excess dollars, billions that has gone into many pockets.

Take the Veterans Affairs (VA) for example. This one government health organization, responsible for caring for this nation’s war veterans, has overspent billions of dollars on medications for one simple reason - they are prevented, by Congress, to negotiate for lower prices based on their volume of buying. This one act alone would save taxpayers billions of dollars, dollars that could go toward improving the level of health care. It doesn’t take a rocket scientist to understand why; our so-called representatives have been bribed to vote against any such act. Those are strong words and could get me into hot water but they need to be spoken, loudly and often.

Our government is corrupt, not above selling Americans down the river in order to increase their personal wealth, too many Congressmen, and women, have been caught accepting bribes for the truth to be otherwise. Corruption runs rampart in Washington, D.C. and has for many years. Each year we hear vows of cleaning it up but it never happens because it is so deeply ingrained that it is almost impossible to stop. Perhaps the one most important act that could happen is to outlaw lobbying in any form, except by the voters; let the American public be heard instead of big business and special interests. Has anyone heard of even one Congressman/woman leaving office poor? Of course not because most leave office millionaires, if they weren’t before entering office. They certainly weren’t frugal with their pay and wisely invested it but accepted money under the table for their vote, they just didn’t get caught doing it.

Just what can we, the American People, do about this, including the above suggestion? Demand accountability from our elected representatives in every aspect of their Congressional duties. demand explanations as to why they voted as they did, party lines be damned, was it the right thing to do. How did it benefit the American people, the ones who has to pay for every program they enact? I’d like to see a report card on each and every one of them at six month increments instead of two and four years, at election time. If they aren’t doing their job, then they are recalled, out of office, fired, canned, terminated. But will that happen, no. But we can always hope.

Are you fuckers happy yet?

The Democratic National Committee and the media Propped a lying Novelty in front of the American public and they jumped on it like it was going to help get their sheets and colored laundry brighter and more shiney than EVER before.

You, as in the American Public, are the stupidest set of fucking retards on the planet because you fall for this shit over and over again. You were promised that 5 million people that were about to lose their homes would be helped by Novelty Presidential Candidate Obama.

In MAY 464,983 foreclosures occurred out of 3.2 million possible. 19,041were modified and saved from foreclosure. That is 15% foreclosed upon and a WHPPING 6% that weren’t. One quarter of those 19,000 actually had their payments GO UP!!

Literally for every ONE dollar saved by modifications, there are One hundred and Fifty Dollars lost to foreclosure because the parameters of the modifications that the Government will allow are not condusive to the reasons that people are behind in the mortgage to begin with.

You cannot get a loan modification if:
• You have lost your job
• You owe more than 5% above what your house is worth
• You are already in default
• You have not yet missed at least one payment
• Your lender does not want to participate
• Your mortgage is not one of the half of all mortgages insured or owned by Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac
• The reworked mortgage payment would come to more than 31% of your income
• Your mortgage is over $759,000
• The home is not your primary residence

Sweden’s Government actually BOUGHT the mortgages of their citizens that were in distress and reworked the payments to reflect what the owner COULD pay them. The people will have to pay the government back once the economy is mended or sell the house. If they do neither then of course the government would then foreclose of course. The Democrats will NEVER entertain this type of program since it would actually SOLVE the problem without any COST to the taxpayers or throwing money at their friends. THEY would be the ones foreclosing on the houses eventually instead of being able to blame the banks and proliferate the EVIL Corporations lie.

*Hint* have you heard another word from the Obama Nation about mortgages? I doubt that you will either.

Is this the kind of Change YOU can believe in?

My job is brainless. I sit and do hand-eye coordination maneuvers with small precision tools until a tooth forms. Which is great because it allows my true genius to flourish (inside my head, for eight whole hours a day).

I was listening to the radio the other day (at work) and they mentioned that the cost of liposuction was like, I don’t know – I actually, technically didn’t hear, but I heard my boss yell out “$2,500 to $3,000 for liposuction!”. And that was all it took. My Einstein busted through the mire of my boredom and went hog-wild. Wild, abandoned, unrestrained inspiration raged from every brain cell in my head for a good five to ten minutes. Fat is big business.

Upon further research (just now), I discovered that a single-area procedure could be anywhere from $2,000 to $8,000 for a single day, and lipo-suctioning more areas over a longer period of time could run as high as $20,000!!!

Now if we could just figure out a way (I KNOW it has to be possible) to transform that product into something that could feed our cars, we could kill two birds with one stone.

Judging by the average “size” of this nation, we could wipe out the entire energy crises, cure our dependency on foreign oil (that fat has GOT to burn down to good old-fashioned oil – bacon does), boost the economy, wipe out obesity, get in shape, improve the world’s opinion of us, and make money in the process. Godd*mn –that’s even more than two birds. That’s a flock of wild geese.

Think of it. Gas guzzling would take on a whole new meaning. There could be lipo/gas stations where you could either trade your fat for miles, or simply sell large portions of yourself and – screw cars – buy a plane ticket to anywhere! (a tropical island – and now you could even wear that itty bitty swimsuit you’ve been dreaming about. And you’d have plenty of spending booty in your pocketbook to spend ..on souvenirs…drinks…and of course! Local Cuisine!!!!).

Which brings up the point… given the possibilities, people – everyone – would probably buy and consume WAY MORE FOOD! Here in Minnesota we all put on at least a good twenty pounds over the winter. A few more tater tot hot dishes a week, couple more pounds of meat and potatoes, double the gravy, hell YES to bacon, and we’d be rolling in the dough by the time spring trickled in. By adding only a few more items to our winter diets a day, we’d have some serious pounds to leverage that spring vacation on. And we wouldn’t even have to sweat the frantic getting-in-shape-before-we-try-to-get-in-that-d*mn-swimsuit trauma. We just roll by the Lipostation on our way to the airport, swimsuits in hand. Yippy-ki-yay Mehico - here I come!! (well.. maybe not Mehico)

Anyways…BTW – no offense to anyone struggling with their weight…Honestly, if there was a way to do it, I’d be the first in line to trade my ass in for a road trip. It might not get me to the In-n-Out burger I’ve been dreaming of (for three years now, going on four) but it could get me a day or two off.

D*mn this has been a long winter. And I’ve had WAY too much time to think.

The only reason I feel sorry for Obama is because I suspect he has a conscious. (unlike dickwad Bush) Sorry about my profanity…sort of.)

The thing is, there’s no president that can do an ounce of good because they have no control. They have to do what the “powers that be” want. It’s just the way it is. It’s nature. The strong bastards rule and they get what they want. Money is the muscle that runs the planet so those assholes that have the most of it, run the world, regardless of how fucked up, immoral, stupid and (make up your own word and put it HERE)  they are.

This is something that all most gave me a heart attack! there is currently a bill in the house it might have been defeated already but it was to limit the amount of news that would be available on the web or the amount of news a newspaper can place on the web I BELIEVE I could be dead wrong. Or it was something close to that.

First off the law itself is totaly uncontitional it violates the first amendment and it violates the free enterprise system. If you’re a bussiness it’s your choice weather you sell items at a store or you sell them online from a warehouse. NOT THE GOVERMENTS!

Now what’s even more surprising is the number of people that support the law, I’m not sure of the age demographic but they want it passed and basically progress stopped. They claim that we have to protect the newspaper! WHY! Back before TV every paper had at least two editions a day the morning paper and the evening paper and if there was something important going on you’d have the extra editions. Do we have that anymore no we don’t why because TV made multiple editions of the paper obsolete. there used to be sitcoms on the radio and they quickly died when TV came once again progress.

Now I like the paper myself and I’ll keep getting it until I know inevitably my paper goes totally online. It’s going to happen it doesn’t take a genius to figure out which way the wind is blowing on this. I mean especially in this recession why in the hell would anyone pay 50 cents a day for something they can read online for relatively free. It’s called progress people accept it. Everything in the universe has a beginning and an end. There are no exceptions to this rule and the print newspaper is reaching its end 

PS Normally I do a little more reshearch on a subject before I flame off about it. If anyone has any more specifics about that said law please leave a comment. All I had to go on was a little thing in my Op-Ex section of the paper. I still do think that the law never even made it to a vote in the house

When you throw money at the problem, that money is taken (in the form of taxes) from those who would otherwise spend it in the Free Market and thus bolster the economy themselves rather than tightening the purse strings to the point where they are afraid to do anything but stuff it in a mattress for fear of the banks collapsing.

Japan had a very similar Housing bubble in 1990 except that their housing market dropped 80% of its value when it burst. They threw money at it, Bailed out the Corporations that contributed to the failures of the banking system (and made a partially National bank), only to ensure that they would have a sub par economy for 18 years.

Why do the people in our NEWLY elected Government keep touting that we should “Learn the lessons taught us by history.” and then try to repeat what HISTORICALLY has not worked for anyone else or our country by throwing YOUR money and mine at the problem to try to go back to an economy that was unsustainable to begin with and deteriorated into the mess we have now?

“Insanity: doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results” ~ Albert Einstein

Sorry for my diatribe here but I feel you are all intelligent enough to start asking the questions about whether the Government interference costs more than allowing the problem to run its course, find bottom, and regenerate to a healthy state again naturally.

BTW, I am a graduate of Butler Area Senior High School and followed a General Studies curriculum so this isn’t rocket science.

I’ll get off my soap box now but I WILL be back and maybe we can talk about the EVIL Corporations and how the Free market has destroyed the United States.!!

You know I know that most people walk around life with a half confused look on their faces barely aware their alive. perfectly content to just go with the flow and stay with the status quo. Still why isn’t the American people outraged at our President! I mean what’s it going to take huh? For him to totally bankrupt the country or give Iran the plans for the stealth bomber to Iran. Would that finally wake some of you up.

Some of you are awake and that’s great the other 90% of you is what I’m concerned about. When we elected Obama to office he came in with the attitude of we need a new way of doing business and we need change. Well in less than a hundred days he’s spent more than all the other presidents put TOGETHER! and is repeatedly using the tried and true democrat spend, spend, spend method. Have we as an American people bothered to say ”Uh Mr. President where’s all this moeny going? Do you really need this much?” Or most importantly ”How in the hell are we going to pay all of this back?” Have we said that HELL NO! We’re to busy trying to guess who the next American Idol is.

Then there’s the foreign diplomats. I’m not talking about him bowing to the Saudi king. That was a show of respect in the man’s country and considering Obama wants to tramp trough his backyard looking for the Taliban then we should show the ruler of the country a little respect. That’s just how I feel. Shaking hands with bloodthirsty dictators on the other hand is not that good of a sign. Most of you didn’t bother to express concern with this though why because it didn’t make the six o’clock news. It only appeared in the paper.

Then there’s the job market that no one can find a new one or they’re scared of losing the one they have. All the while the owner or BOD keeps getting to slash salaries and benefits and the employees just take it because “Be happy you at least have a job” has become an acceptable norm! Why hasn’t anyone gotten mad over this broken promise. Didn’t Obama say he’d create jobs and improve the ones that are out there. Well he’s spent 2 trillion and jobless claims keep going UP! 2 trillion dollars and I haven’t seen job one come around as a result! Yet still most of us just keep going along thinking that things will work out

I have news for all you people happily living your life in a semi-coma IT’S NOT GOING TO WORK OUT! Not until the majority of American citizens turn off the TV or wake up and calmly ask the president “Uh Mr. President excuse me sir but just what in the hell are you doing with all this money!”

Warcorpse

Well is it any wonder that Americans are in the situation we’re in! I’m not at all surprised that every thing’s going down hill. Why because for the most part the average American just does whatever the media tells them to! If the news at six says be afraid of this and then the paper the next day backs it up well then guess what 200 million Americans are now terrified of something that only yesterday posed no threat.

Now let me stop for a moment and say that I love this country and I wouldn’t want to live anywhere else and I wouldn’t want to live at any other time either. This is where and when I want to be. That said there is serious problems with the critical thinking in this country I see it all over. Like take the peanut and pistachio scare that happened. Only one or two plants were contaminated with salmonella. The next morning after the almighty box told us to be afraid every American went out and burned every peanut every where. None of them bothered to check that it was less than 10% of the total supply. The same thing happened with the pistachios only this time the terror inspiration that you read with your OJ got that tid bit first. Once again less than 10% of the total supply but  again everyone believed the paper’s gospel and you couldn’t get a pistachio for a month.

Now I’m not attacking the nightly news and I watch it myself and I read the paper everyday. They’re great ways to get info. HOWEVER! they report the facts as they have them or what they can deduce at the time. When you read the paper or watch the news listen for the key phrases We’ll stay with this or more details will follow. I believe the peanut thing ended with We’ll have more as the FDA releases it but only a very small portion is affected. Did anyone hear that or read that and go online for a few more facts that were available. Hell no they didn’t because that would require a little bit of thought on their part. No one questioned what the media told them or even to see if something else had been released about it. They panicked until about six the next night.

That I think is the biggest problem NO one questions what they read or see anymore. If it’s reported by the AP or our local 5 news or if it’s told by a teacher, parent or hell a celebrity it must instantly be true! This isn’t really a surprising result because that’s the way that parents and SCHOOLS! teach children from the earliest stages. If you’re told that everything is fine then everything must be fine. No one’s ever taught to question anything. Then  there are teacher (I’ve had them) that would get pissed with a student if they dared challenge their omnipotent knowledge. I thought that teachers were supposed to challenge students.

Another big problem is people don’t read enough any more and it’s not really any one’s fault again. Because in school reading isn’t taught as a joy it’s taught as a chore and the materiel is the pre-determined master works. I’m sorry Dickens may be considered a master by some but The Tale of Two Cites and The Pipwick Papers SUCKED! It’s the same with any thing wrote by Amy Tan. So for most people reading unfortunately develops into this hated chore that after collage they never do again. So one one bothers to read ALL the evidence and instead goes with a thirty second sound bite.

In the end America wake up learn all the facts on something before you hit the panic button. One last thing generally I’ve found that most of the time when the people on TV tell you that it’s going OK that’s about the time that everything goes to hell.

this is the end I just can’t do this anymore. I’ve just finally run out of bullshit. I’m tired of it aren’t you tired of it. I’m tired of one side on an issue always ignoring facts that don’t help their cause. I’m sick and tired of environmentalists thinking that corporations and big business are destroying the precious fabric of earth. Big Business is some of the largest recyclers out there but I’m also sick of the bullshit reason people believe them! The companies don’t do it out of some morale imperative to save the earth, they do it to make MONEY! Why in the hell would you throw something away when there’s another company that will buy it!

I’m tired of the stupid bullshit things that people flip out about. We’ve got a recession on, no one can find a job, Health insurance is non existent or at best a broken pile of shit of course that doesnt matter because no one has money for even a Minute Clinic visit. People are losing their homes the crime rate is going up Our freedoms are being taken away to thunderous applause and are we outraged by it HELL NO! Why because gasp! Lindsy Lohan broke up with her girlfriend and Mel Gibson is divorcing his wife! And gays want to get married oh dread! How can anyone say that Madonna not being able to adopt kid number 23 is a bigger deal to the world then the war going on!

I’m also tired of the bullshit that surrounds the school systems and the kids that infest it! The school is a public place that I keep shoveling more and more money into to help educate the kids! Guess what thanks to all of the bullshit the kids keep getting DUMBER! It’s not really the kids fault because they’re never challenged. Why because  when you challenge someone’s abilities you run the risk of them failing. We can’t have that in schools now can we! We all know how soul crushing it is  not to do something perfectly the first time. Then who really gets it the worst are the smart kids. We can’t separate them because that’s exclusionary and would make the majority of kids feel dumber and left out. We can’t get the class harder because that would make most of the other kids actually think for a minute! Do you lovers of bullshit really think that a person’s emotional center can be forever destroyed because of elementary school! Your assigning the kids way more self awareness then they’re capable of!

I’m sick and tired of the bullshit surrounding the fact that we can’t say anything or have any sort of zest for life because it might be offensive to one in ten-thousand people! You know what if you people would come out of the bubble of bullshit that you’ve built for yourself for just a few seconds you’d see that they’re just words they can’t hurt you. They only hurt you if you let them, alone words are meaningless. No word has the power to kill or to wreck some one’s life, day or even the fifteen minutes after he heard it. All the bullshit surrounding all the so-called hateful words is just that bullshit! Once you stop giving a shit what people say then everyone will see just how fast the so called hateful or offensive words lose any power. You don’t even need words to offended people and wreck your life. A photo of you on MySpace or Facebook have a drink with friends at a bar can keep you from a job, which is just stupid. Why in the hell dose someone going for let’s say a administrative assistant job need to worry about what they do in their off time. The bullshit lovers trying to take away any sort of fun that people want to have.

I’m also sick of the bullshit about how no one can take personnel responsibility for their actions. I’m talking about all the people that spouted the popular “predatory lending” there’s no such thing. It’s just another bunch a bullshit and I’ll prove it. No one held a gun to these people’s heads and made them sign the ARM loan now did they. They had all the time in the world to sign the loan or to have a lawyer look it over. Then to make matters worse instead of cutting back on expenses what did they do instead they went and just busted out their platinum VISA didn’t they. Now before they knew it they’re in over their head and bankruptcy and ruin are just around the corner. At any time we’re these people forced to buy all the shit they didn’t really need. Did they have to get a car every three years No they didn’t

The exception to that is the poor bastard that get laid off because the failing banks remove their line of credit and that spells the end for most companies. So he’s saved for a rainy day but with no jobs that dries up quick and then everything in his life begins to go down hill. To him I say first call your mortgage company and explain the situation. Trust me more and more companies are letting payments go for longer and longer. Then after that I’ll buy the drinks. 

One last pile of Bullshit that I just can’t deal with anymore is the fact that why can’t men be proud to be men anymore. WHY! Oh we can be men alright just the watered down subtle weak version the feminists want. I mean I’ll give you an example if a woman goes out and sets up a club for women or a gym for women or a event celebrating womanhood every one’s just fine with it. However if I set up an event for men or centered around men there would be such a public outcry from NOW and NAW that it would probably end with me getting lynched.

That’s not even going into if i dared set up a club for guys to hang out and shoot the shit. The only requirement for membership is that you are a man that’s it. Race age creed religious belief or even gay or straight wouldn’t matter. It would be shut down in two weeks by the court for discrimination yet women can do that now can’t they especially lesbian bars. Please explain the equality and fairness in that.

That’s all the bullshit I can talk about now get back to this in a part 2 or I’ll go into it on my Warcorpse666 YouTube Channel.
