3 billion-yikes….I hope that doesn’t cut into the campaign contributions he was counting on. Someone will get a sternly worded letter for sure….

It also depends on whether or not a handful of speculators decide to drive up the cost of gas right before the election. The Amurican Sheople shall sit on their hands and hope for the best….

The Military Industrial Complex is alive and well, thank you. It has been calling the shots for many years, and is really our only true “Jobs Program”. Nobody gonna tell them what to do, especially some articulate upstart punk president.

BP oilspill (crickets)
Banks Bailout (crickets)
erosion of Constiution (laughter)
neverending wars (more crickets)I’m sure he does have more that he would like to do. Not sure I’m up for it….

hoopless commented on the diary post Atrios’ Lament: America in the Age of Wankers by Scarecrow.
Yes, this fall we get to “choose” between going off the cliff or smashing into a boulder. Big media lies to the population every day, essentially poisoning the water we all drink. Even though I don’t watch TV, I still feel assaulted by various lies that pollute every other aspect of daily life. This fall [...]

Even more worrisome, what if they somehow managed to control the weather….
They could unleash massive storms throughout the midwest, with hail and tornadoes and-
Oh, wait…..

hoopless commented on the blog post GOP Debate: NBC’s Brian Williams Cowers in the Corner
Sorry Scarecrow. If you were looking for journalists to do their job, you should cast your gaze elsewhere, far beyond NBC. NBC and GE need the republicans to start more wars, so that they can sell more military hardware and powerplants to our frenemies in the middle east.
I understand. You thought he was there in a journalistic capacity. Easy mistake to make.

RE: vote AGAINST EVERY INCUMBENT seeking reelection.
That has been my plan for the last several months, thank you for mentioning. Anything else is simply endorsing the status quo….they pushed me to this. Hard reset? Yes please

When that pill-popping gasbag Rush Limbaugh starts trashing her on his show, then she will have really won. I give it a few hours….
If she was not already an activist, she is now. Good on her!

That’s quite a lineup of batshit crazies…think I’ll listen to my deranged neighbor and his Chinese gold conspiracies instead-no commercials…

For second year in a row, I will buy NOTHING, not even so much as a gum ball.

hoopless commented on the blog post Eric Holder, Do Americans Have Constitutional Rights or Not?
I can’t help but to dwell on the hypocrisy of our corporate media:
Arab Spring: All hail the brave kids over there, fighting for simple freedoms and a better life. Young heroic patriots deserving our support! Hooray…
OWS: Look at all the stoned hippies. They should get a job and have a shower, bunch o’ shiftless, selfish potheads crapping all over everything.
Example number 1158 of how our corporate media lies to us everyday. Sums up perfectly why I gave money to FDL.

hoopless commented on the blog post Where Is the Money for These Raids on Occupations Coming From?
and the beauty part is…
after spending the money (that they supposedly don’t have) they get to blame the occupiers themselves.

hoopless commented on the blog post “I have fully lost faith in the leadership of my parents’ generation”
Yes, I have been feeling that as well.
3 generations have devolved into what we have today:
A world run by a handful of corrupt corporations. One where science is secondary to the interests of shareholders. One where a corrupt corporate media lies to the masses everyday, and nobody does anything about it. A country where you get thrown in jail for protesting the tarsands, but crashing the economy and stealing billions gets you a sternly worded letter and taxpayer bailout.
We live in a country that is going down the toilet because we refuse to make wealthy people pay for the expensive wars they lie us into. I feel no longer a part of it, and have barely concealable disdain for authority.

Occupy congress. Jeer at them all day long, make them walk through us, face us everyday. Show them 9% restraint.

Suck it NPR. You have gotten steadily worse and now align yourselves with bankers and disaster capitalists.
Have you ever fired anyone for attending a Glen Beck event?

hoopless commented on the blog post One Month Later, Occupy Wall Street Is a Force That Governments Cannot Suppress
My boss, wishing he was part of the 1% (they would not have him) has been scornful and dismissive. He said they were “a bunch of hippies smoking pot and shitting all over …”. He suggested that the Tea Party gatherings were so much more civilized, family affairs and that they cleaned up after themselves while behaving wonderfully….
I would say things are working quite well if he is uneasy. I can feel it gaining momentum, makes me happy, will donate money.
OCCUPY!

hoopless commented on the blog post American Jobs Act Pay-Fors All on Tax Side
Just reading how simple and logical that is, I am absolutely certain it would never happen.
Jack Lew, sweet kid, must be new in town.
The filthy rich did not get that way by accident, and anyone that thinks they will pay more for anything will be more than a little disappointed.
What kind of President and Congress could screw up something so simple and fair?…..Hmmmm.

hoopless commented on the blog post Congress Returns to Session Amid High Negatives and Much Despair
I have an idea to improve the performance of our shamefully inept congress.
Make them run a gauntlet of….us. Yes, every day when they leave their “job”, they
shall have to walk through a mob if unemployed 99er’s. Let them be clawed at
by unsavory persons with no health insurance, socialist teachers and others
they refuse to represent. I think it would help to…..reconnect them. - Load More
