Piggie of the Week
This is the first “Piggie of the Week” I did all myself, from the writing to the one-the-street interviews, to the capturing and rough cuts, to the final edits. Big props and tons of gratitude to Brodzilla and Sean for the editorial guidance and advice, teaching me how to edit video and audio, including [...]
Read More..>>Best. Letter. EVER.
While I may be out of words when it comes to the disasters our moron elites are pushing, I know what to say about this letter to Christine Flowers and the Daily News: BRAVO!!
Letters: Christine Flowers needs a dose of compassion for the homeless
Philadelphia Daily News
RE CHRISTINE Flowers’ op-ed about homelessness:

An Even More Modest Proposal
Earlier this week, Democratic strategist Paul Begala offered a modest proposal for dealing with the deficit:
While Rogers was once dubbed the “Prince of Pork” and McConnell has hauled so much pork he’s at risk for trichinosis, they are now converts to Sen. Paul’s anti-government gospel. McConnell says President Obama’s new budget is “unserious” and [...]
When a Story Isn’t a Story
So, have you heard about the disorganized group of pro-wikileaks hackers called Anonymous, who earlier this week found out that they were the target of HBGary, an internet security firm with ties to Bank of America and the US government, proceeded to hack into the firm, take down their domain and dump 40,000 company emails [...]
Read More..>>Open Letter to Bob Casey, Friend of the Wealthy
[amended from the original, which was addressed to a very good legislative aide in Casey's office. Also, instead of providing links, I have embedded them.]

I am aghast and disgusted that you voted for this destructive tax cut for the wealthiest Americans.
Perhaps I shouldn’t be surprised. With a net worth of more half a [...]
Another Promise Obama Will Undoubtedly Break
Whatever happened to candidate Obama?
I didn’t contribute any money toward this ad, because it won’t accomplish anything. We all know what’s going to happen: the Bush tax cuts for the wealthiest will be extended, because the President has less fight in him than an opossum.
Although I’m happy to run it, just for the sake of [...]
Heckuva Job, George, Dick, Jay, John, Rummy…
NO FUCKING DOI:
The Bush administration insisted that “enhanced interrogation techniques” — torture — were necessary to extract information from prisoners and keep Americans safe from terrorist attacks. Never mind that it was immoral, did huge damage to this country’s global standing and produced little important intelligence. Now, as we had feared, it is also making [...]
Who Could Have Predicted (Credit Card Edition)
Unintended consequences of ther Bankruptcy Bill of 2005:
The credit scores of millions more Americans are sinking to new lows.
Figures provided by FICO Inc. show that 25.5 percent of consumers — nearly 43.4 million people — now have a credit score of 599 or below, marking them as poor risks for lenders. It’s unlikely they [...]
Taking Leave of their Census
Right wingers are fucking idiots. With Erick Erickson, doubly-so:
This is crazy. What gives the Commerce Department the right to ask me how often I flush my toilet? Or about going to work? I’m not filling out this form. I dare them to try and come throw me in jail. I dare them to. Pull out [...]
TD Gank
Gank: to steal or take something that does not belong to you; To steal in a surreptitious or underhanded manner.
That description above fits TD Bank like a wet tee-shirt on a fifty-cent whore. Let me explain.
Soon after Sam’s mom and I split up, I took out a home equity loan from TD Bank, then known [...]
