it’s vitally important, apparently, to protect the existing business models of connected people, no matter how badly they fail or how much damage they cause.

I guess one way to improve our healthcare stats is to make sure other people’s life expectancy is shorter.

Speaking of Corporate Welfare, we’re about to see another round of quantitative easing.

Hyperventaliating?

That’s a portmanteau – a word that combines two other words. Hyperventilating while retaliating: putting someone in their place with such emotional force that you pant.

There is an entire class of hyperventaliating media people in the conservasphere today. The reason is that money buys you the right to outrage, and the more of it you have, the more you can vent.

I guess I expected something ineffectual. I didn’t expect them to actually make it worse.

I’m having a hard time getting mad at the donks, because I expected them to do this. Hard to write about them betraying everybody when that’s what they do.

Hello Stranger!

It’s funny how prejudice against the have nots is accentuated in time of strife. Until you’ve tried it, you don’t really get what hard work it is being poor. Fighting off creditors and dealing with agencies is it’s own full time job.

Dude, where is you post on the health care betrayal. I feel so….betrayed.

Goddamn right! It’s time for the poor and increasingly poor middle class to stand up and be counted! It’s time for a f^(in’ class war. We need substantive change, and we need to wipe — or slap if necessary — the smug grins off the faces of the greedy elite bastards who are doinking us.
