President Tuvok Wants You to Eat Peas and Roast to Death

Change you can believe in. How about cowering in a corner over a steamy plate of peas while roasting to death. The President has decided that you should roast to death if you are poor and a senior citizen.
All of this in the name of ‘shared sacrifice’ and we must all ‘eat our peas’….Why don’t the biggest Corporations in the World, enjoying record profits, pay their fair share of taxes? Why do the wealthiest among us pay the lowest tax rate? Simply put, they OWN the joint and the whores in D.C. So eat your peas and roast in the heat.
President Tuvok Wants You to Eat Catfood and Freeze to Death

Change you can believe in. How about cowering in a corner over a steamy plate of catfood while freezing to death. The President has decided that you should freeze to death if you are poor and a senior citizen.
What the Hell is wrong with these people? The money quote is that “the source said that “energy prices are now well below their levels in Spring 2008 when Congress decided to increase LIHEAP funding to $5.1 billion.” Bullshit! In February 2008, home heating fuel oil cost $3.30 a gallon, same as I just paid in January!
We are all Egypt now.
Too Big To Fail, Not Too Big To Jail

Great reading over at the Zero Hedge….
America – Empire of Dirt
You Tube Sucks, this was supposed to be Johnny Cash singing NIN’s ‘Hurt’…anyway…see below.
Great piece from Glenn Greenwald about the decline…gravel roads and closing libraries……
Al Gore BullShit charges dropped
Al got some chin music from the Powers that Be when he was investigated for sexual assault after getting a tug and rub at some massage joint in Oregon (Tipper didn’t go for the NWA stuff)….they’re just letting him know Who is in charge and don’t be bringing up any Social Security Lockbox Stuff, now that the Catfood Commission has their eyes on raiding that sucker dry…can’t be cutting the Defense Budget or none of the important stuff…..
Al was right about a lockbox for Social Security – These greedy fuckers want everything!

Deficits Don’t Matter – Dick Cheney Said So

From the Book The Price of Loyalty: George W Bush, the White House, and the Education of Paul O’Neill:
‘In his own account, Mr O’Neill discovers the hard line on tax cuts is coming from Mr Cheney. Not knowing he was in his last weeks as Treasury secretary, he went to see the vice president expecting to get a sympathetic hearing for his concerns over the deficit. Instead he is told: “You know, Paul, Reagan proved that deficits don’t matter. We won the mid-term elections, this is our due.”
Unless of course, the Bush Tax Bailout to the rich is due to expire at the end of the year…All of a sudden, unemployment extensions for suffering people must be ‘paid for’ and the Catfood Commission is plotting behind closed doors to fuck Seniors and future generations so that the rich fuckers can keep their plundered tax dollars. All in the name of concern for the deficit…give me a break. How about cutting the Defense Budget? Fat Chance of that. How well did all of the trillions spent serve America on 9/11? 19 amateur Saudi pilots with box cutters brought this Country to its knees; on the verge of bankruptcy from two wars of choice and the Constitution’s protections in shreds.
