Of Bugs and Babies

Even as the Repubs and Right-wing blowhards continue to complain about "excessive regulation" Abbot Laboratories is having to recall five million containers of baby formula bacause of contamination bugs and other insects at the Sturgis Michigan plant. What to do you know? A century ago people couldn't eat sausage without worrying that it might contain ground up human fingers. But the thing I don't understand about that factory, is doesn't anybody clean that place up? What kind of stupid and negligent operation are they running up there? In any case, it's clear that big business needs more regulation not less.

Budget Follies 2010

Like a bad sitcom that should've been cancelled long ago, the annual farce known as the Budget Follies is back. The comedy comes from the Repubs who keep complaining about the deficit but want to keep the Bush tax cuts in place. Not so long ago the Repubs allowed GWB to squander a trillion dollars to invade Iraq, and they said "Deficits don't matter." Deficits don't matter, when they're in charge. But the strange part about it is how nobody notices that we have these high deficits becauseof the Bush tax cuts. In fact, allowing the Bush tax cuts to expire would eliminate the deficit in 5 years.

Why doesn't anybody think of that?

The Tea Party's Mental Disease

It's clear that the Tea Partiers have come down with a mental disease caused by a combination of ignorance and stupidity. Recently some of these idiots have been cirulating a fake photo of Adolf Hitler putting his hand of the shoulder of Barack Obama. If these cretins actually knew anything about Hitler they would know that he actually hated Black people so much he didn't even allow them to enter Germany. But as for the TeePees, it's obvious that all they know about History comes from watching trashy old movies.
