On the first day of this new year 2011...

Associated Press ran this headline:

Bolivia's Morales: Fuel prices to rise 'someday'

this is not news. this is a simple fact of life that just about any 2nd grader in the industrialized world could have told us assuming there are any of us out here who couldn't predict this without assistance.

I want old news, like Walter used to read to us every night. Walter told us things we did not know, and he explained why it was important to know. with walter we learned things about the world we lived in. Nowdays we have traded objective reporting for a flood of data that is almost instantaneous and constant but is mostly either drivel or made up of unverified pseudofacts.

Down with twitter!

what just happened.....

We extended the Bush tax cuts and re-enacted a "cushy" estate tax so all the politicans could deflect attention away from the 700 Billion in tax cuts and instead act like the estate tax compromise that will cost about 35 billion is a big deal. They know we're all ADD and penny wise and pound foolish. And for the record, the estate tax IS double taxation and is a government method of re-distributing the wealth. That's the only reason for it to exist.

We got rid of don't ask don't tell in favor of you can ask if you want and we might tell you even if you'd rather not know, just because now we can.
Most of us out here can't figure out why this issue gets so much press at a time when there are bigger fish to fry...and for those that really would like to know why this is, it's because it's an issue taht will cause a big distraction without offending a statistically significant portion of the population either way.

No dream act, so innocent kids that got here because their parents brought them, and who have worked hard and done well and kept their noses clean still can't stay if anyone finds them out. Personally I wish we could just deport troublemakers, citizen or no, and keep the good folks, citizen or no.

There was more, but the truly big news is that every man, woman, and child in the country just assumed another $3000 of national debt.

Merry Christmas!

WikiLeaks Attempts to Expose Palin’s Thoughts, Finds Nothing
Hacking Former Governor’s Brain Proves Fruitless

NEW YORK (The Borowitz Report) – WikilLeaks has finally met its match.

That’s the bombshell from fugitive founder Julian Assange, who said that after months of hacking former Alaska Governor Sarah Palin’s brain, WikiLeaks has come up empty.

“I challenge the best hackers in the business to have a look inside,” he said, speaking from an undisclosed location. “There’s nothing there.”

election day

today is the day we give the country back to the people who have been intent on stealing it. well hey, why make it hard on them?

we got Democrats who can't agree on diddly, republican who only agree on the idea that all wealth should be in their hands, and tea baggers who are intent on slitting their own throats.
what strange days we live in.

I took a quiz to see what I am,politically speaking. Surprised?

My Liberal Identity

You are a New Left Hipster, also known as a MoveOn.org liberal, a Netroots activist, or a Daily Show fanatic. You believe that if we really want to defend American values, conservative hatriots must be exposed and mocked for every fanatical, puritanical, paranoid, fact-allergic, reality-challenged, obstructionist ideal for which they stand.
