THEY’RE FUCKING US AGAIN

Wages haven’t kept up with inflation for the past two months. Jane Bryant Quinn’s column in the 4/25/05 issue of Newsweek has this to say:

Bush wants to make his tax cuts permanent, at a long-term cost to the budget that’s triple the cost of making Social Security solvent again...So we’re talking priorities, not money: tax cuts versus the safety net.

So what are the Bush crime family’s priorities?

Moral Bankruptcy act, signed into law this week. Eighty-one billion more dollars for wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. An energy bill that is a giveaway to corporations.

And if you support the wars we’re fighting, remember–Osama bin Laden is on the loose, and there were no WMD in Iraq. Does that sound like these motherfuckers are doing a good job? Hell, no. And for God’s sake, this is serious business. The latest $81 billion brings the total spent on these useless wars to $300 billion +...why is it that the Senate can agree 99-zip on money for war but money for education or healthcare or anything useful is oh so divisive and "political" and oh well, let them eat war...

This town is a soldier's town

And every time I go to Wal-Mart (I know, I know...), or anywhere in town at night, I see military guys being bussed in from Camp Shelby, I’m assuming. I keep wanting to say something to them, but I always think better of it...I don’t really even know what I’d say. I want to see if they support the war or not, but I’m fairly certain they kinda have to put up the bulldog front...

But this town is crawling with military types and what do they see everywhere? Fucking yellow ribbon magnets on most cars...the most egregious ones now have crosses where the loop is. So what these stupid magnets say to these guys is “We don’t want to try to stop the war so you won’t get killed, we just want to show all our shallow friends that we know how to go along with the marketing schemes foisted on us by our corporate-ocracy, so we have to have gas-guzzling SUV with the magnet so we can look sincere but really those two things just cancel each other out...”

And oil prices are still high, which means the price of everything is still high...what the fuck is going on? Please let’s wake up and do something about it, together. Watch “The Corporation.” You’ll probably have to either buy it online or rent it online if you live in a red state like I do. It is so eye-opening. Here’s a teaser–in the 30s, corporate leaders wanted to take down FDR and install a fascist dictatorship...is that what you hear in the history books written about the “greatest country in the world”?

Oh, we are all so fucked...
