My venom flows
Hmmm, let's see, what's on the schedule to write about today ... Disgust with the system? Nope, covered that over and over again. Disgust with the candidates, same deal. Self disgust? Naw, too depressing. Malaise? Ennui? Angst? The heartbreak of psoriasis?

How about a human interest story? There once was a guy that had a puppy and....the puppy....died. Shit.
The puppy frolicked and... the guy died. Double shit. The fucking puppy grew up, turned on his master and ate him. There ... End of story.

On another note, I figured out what the conservatives want. They want to be lied to. NO BAD NEWS ABOUT ANYTHING! They want to be told that America is a fine place and just keeps getting better and better. And, it is for them. They don't want equality or fairness, fuck that, you can't be a rich pig if you're going to be fair!

That's why it's so obvious to those of us who aren't sitting around the pool collecting dividend checks, so obvious that the system is rigged. Why do some conservatives even bother giving lip service to the middle classes. When we're called a nation of whiners, that's how they really see us, but their politicians have the dubious distinction of having to pretend they care.

Today, I watched CNN and of course it was an Obama vs McCain discussion. Pro and con, McCain, Obama, we were shown how their economic plans stack up against one another and how their, tax cuts for the wealthy, or their, tax raises on the over 250,000 set, would be a boon. Both spokespersons talked as if it were possible to find some way out of the mess we're in, neither was corrected by Wolf Blitzer. I say corrected because: we will never be out of the woods economically as long as we owe China and the Saudis 1,000,000,000,000.00 (one trillion) dollars.

They bought our bonds and now we OWE THEM. They financed our war and now, there's no money, honey! Geez, wouldn't you think they'd understand something as simple as:
Gene owes Zhu Ken Nuo 100 dollars and Gene wins 50 dollars in the lottery, how much does Gene have?-50.00 dollars that's minus 50 dollars. I have less then zero. because I owe more than I have or am willing to raise by raising taxes, or fees for drilling for oil or minerals rights on public land.
This supply side fairy tale hasn't worked for you and me, but, it has for the ones at the top, and THEY are the only ones that it was ever truly designed to work for. So don't expect them to rip their blinders off anytime soon. You can expect the same lies that they've been shoving down our throat every time we're stupid enough to give them the chance.

Gene, fulminating on your behalf
