Republicans Hate Children

I just saw Trent Lott (R - Mississippi) glibly condemn 60,000 kids from his own fucking state to suffer needlessly and quite possibly die.

The president wants to remove 100,000 MORE children from SCHIP. I'm sure it's about some principal or another.

All they really care about is themselves.

AAA Slime

For some reason, the markets are all confused. On paper, the economy looks fine. All the people who make their living in finance are making money hand-over fist. So, by their beloved Reaganomics, they "trickle it down" to us consumer grade folk and we're all obviously living large.

Oh except those gross subprimes. Those lazy bastards who actually believed the refi marketing hype. But now they be overextended and can't pay they notes, and shit. But don't you worry, the goldilocks economy is doing great! The market is higher than ever! Just look at these numbers!

Wait, now, I can explain. Some of the A Lines are, well, defaulting. Well, more than usual, in fact, maybe a lot more. No big deal, everybody relax, it only means that we have to readjust everybody's credit rating, just a little bit, down.

It only means that more people than ever will have bad credit or no credit at all. Our economy is based on profits, not credit - right?!

I look at it this way: I could have been a AAA Line guy. I could have the credit collectors calling about that $30 million dollar loan, remember?! How do you plan to pay that back exactly, Jack? Have you had these assets recently appraised, Jack?

But this does not mean that the economy is ill. Stop saying that! Sure there are some inequalities, but only for the stupid people, really. We've got to thin the heard. It's only nature. It will all work out eventually. You know, status quo.

Right now it looks like gas could raise up to $4.50 before it really began to "adversely affect demand". Hence, $4.50 becomes the target price, since that is what the market will bear. So when you see the gas at $4.44, and you start to wonder in your mind how your going to stop using so much gasoline, remember I told you today, it's too late. You can do something right now. You can move your demand curve. Not a gesture, nor token, nor misdirected rage. Just make a simple plan. A simple way to cut down on the gas you need, forever. Combining trips, a different route, a carpool on Tuesdays, sell your car, be creative. When the price of gas falls back to $3.44, you keep the plan going. Find better and better ways. Improve your generous yield. Grow your human capital. Reinvest the dividend of your fine time.

Care for the plants and animals. Care for the birds and the fishes. Care for the children and their mothers. Care for the sisters and the brothers. Care for the sick and the needy. Care for the friends and the enemies. Care for the men and their weary souls. Care for all this and care for all of us.

The ability to care is a fundamental part of the true gift of being human. It's risky, but don't give up on it. They may seem little or insignificant but so what they're your cares. Just care good, you only get one shot.

Medco + Walgreens = Death

“Medcations that you need for more that 3 months are considered "maintenance medications" and are not covered by your prescription insurance.”
You know, one dude gets messed up in fighting dogs and everybody has condemned him to "a special place in hell". You christians can be so colorful in your language.

Yet when men fight each other we turn it into a reality TV show.

When a soulless corporate abstraction determines they could save a buck by making me suffer - it's not wrong. "We" have a law that makes that a requirement for them to try and make a profit off our fears of getting sick. Of course when you do finally get sick (and you ALL WILL GET SICK) you are no longer covered.

Stupid Americans. The price of gas will never go down. You will get sick before you get rich.

HEALTH INSURANCE IS MURDER

Violent Cheeseburgers

There is no "Wendy's" restaurant in all of San Francisco. Once there was a bunch, especially downtown, then they all closed up and changed their slogan to "Do what tastes Right." Apparently the BiggeE fries don't taste right enough in this county. Here is the YouTube: Wendy's Femmes Anomaly

Hey you know what bands need money too. It's stupid not to dock your boat in the corporate bay. The corporate economy is doing great!! What's even better is that some lazy ass gen-xers got paid to convince them that putting this crazy music in the background broadens their target market. In reality it makes them appear insane.

I mean the BeeGees for Keiser? Yikes. The Advertising Industry continues to shoot itself in a panic over the internet. You can hardly find any product without some superhuman justification or "simulated" results. Unless of course, it's coming from a fictional character, in which case all things are possible. I know when I'm in a serious accident and can't work I'm supposed to look for a duck to take care of me.

Meanwhile, the products themselves are minimized and cost-cut into ever increasing profit margins. More and more pressure exists every day maximize the revenue streams. If a big company is doing great it usually means they are getting the maximum exploitation from their potential receptacles.

We have the technology right now to provide food, health care, shelter, clothing, and information to every human being. We don't even try.

"I'd stop the world and melt instead of living that nightmare capitalist fantasy."
"I'm high as a kite and I just might stop and vomit up a fascist heavy on the pig."

OK yea whatever. Now get back to work poser!
