St. Louis, Michael Vick and why we are what we celebrate…

March 15, 2010 by Angry Black Bitch · 2 Comments 

A bitch woke up at 3 o’clock in the morning.
Pause…consider…continue.
With daylight savings time, my body thinks it’s 2 o’clock in the morning…so this early wakefulness is even more fucked up that the clock claims it is.
Shit.
Fuck it, let’s be productive…shall we?
Longtime readers know that this bitch isn’t a football fan. [...]

apologies to david bowie….
i had a conversation with a blog buddy of mine the other day about the rapidity of change that feels as if it occurred over the past decade. in fact, we both agreed that it felt as if we missed a couple of decades somewhere and ended up here. now, [...]

“Centrist” America

“Centrist” America

March 1, 2010 by Dave Dubya · 2 Comments 

As any non-kool-ade-drinking observer would see over the past years, the US Government has drifted radically to the right. The right wing, Big Money, Neocon interests of the past three decades have given us two corporate influenced parties to run our, or should I say THEIR, government.
The present Democratic Party occupies the same part of [...]

Shall we?
A bitch was going to post about the health care summit and how, although it didn’t move a single person from yes to no or no to yes, it was worthwhile because it clarified a lot of shit that needed to be clarified for the three or five folks left in America who still [...]

Gut wrenching…

Gut wrenching…

February 24, 2010 by Dusty · 2 Comments 

It was simply gut wrenching to watch. KO makes tonight’s Special Comment about tomorrows ‘healthcare summit’  very personal. His father is going downhill fast, and I send both of them my love and prayers. He lost his mother last year. ;(

Leave your egos at the door, like KO says, gentlemen. Do NOT bring that political [...]

i have been thinking in broad strokes lately— and conversely, i have been hunkering down and working on personal issues. it would suffice to say that i am just plain exhausted. i have a feeling many folks are worn down and worn out by life- and it just shouldn’t be that way. [...]

suffice to say- it has been a rough february thus far. not all stress is bad and there has been both- personally and on the world scene. and i have not been all that chatty. it has been increasingly difficult for me to find anything at all to say to anyone and [...]

I think maybe the President’s finally understanding.
He flat-out told beady-eyed closet queen “Mooch”McConnell that he was tired of his bullshit, and -*poof*- a whole bunch of stalled nominations shot through the Senate.
Overall,  he’s been more willing to articulate his displeasure with the Rushpubliscums lately, and look at what’s happening here.
In order for the Rushpubliscums to [...]

His son says you are just going to love the ones who will rise up to replace him.
I don’t doubt this. In that part of the world there are huge pools of unemployed young men with no future, no prospects to speak of, and nothing better to do than listen to the hate speech of [...]

On December 24, 2009 alientrucker.com breathed it’s last. One SNAFU after another got the best of it and since the crash of October, 2008 I just gave up this time. Rescuing it was beyond my desires and laziness. It lived a good life and although sorry to see it gone, the passing was painfree and [...]

Two Tales of the Tea Party Convention

Two Tales of the Tea Party Convention

February 5, 2010 by Jolly Roger · 2 Comments 

And now, we lay to rest forever the laughable notion that some of our winger compatriots have about there being a “liberal media bias” in this country.
First, let’s look at CNN’s coverage of the Tom Tancredo address to the “teabagger” convention.
Tom Tancredo opened what’s being billed as the first Tea Party Convention with a bang. [...]

i find myself thinking more in ’seasons’ than in months these days   i suppose it’s because i am starting to think in terms of ‘gardening’ instead of just grocery shopping.  i really hate grocery shopping.  and, i have a feeling more and more folks are feeling the same way because i have seen [...]

Robert Reich: Obama Needs To Teach The Public How to Get Out Of The Mess We’re In, But He’s Not

Robert Reich: Obama Needs To Teach The Public How to Get Out Of The Mess We’re In, But He’s Not

February 1, 2010 by Guest Author · Leave a Comment 

From Robert Reich’s blog:
The President wants businesses that hire new employees this year to get $5,000 per hire, in the form of a tax credit. That will come to about $33 billion. It’s good step. He’s also supporting a cut in the capital gains tax for small businesses. That makes sense; after all, small businesses generate [...]

Everyone is going to remember what happened when the “Prostitute” ACORN video surfaced. Each and every right wing gasbag in America, joined by not a few Rushpubliscums in Congress, took the 2 or 3 ACORN workers shown giving out advice on how to commit crimes as evidence that ALL 400,000 ACORN workers are criminals. I [...]

On Monday, the partnership that bought the massive Stuyvesant Town-Peter Cooper Village 11,227-unit apartment complex in 2006, walked away from their mortgage obligations. The largest residential real estate deal in history – didn’t go into foreclosure, didn’t go bankrupt, the “owners” just turned over the keys to the lenders. “We are done, it’s your problem [...]
