Washington: Playing Political Chicken With Shutdown

11 Spot It!

If anything I have ranted on proves that the government is NOT on your side, it is this bullshit surrounding the inevitable shutdown. Both Dems and the GOP are dangling us over a cliff just so one party can have the moral high ground. Neither care about us, they just want the people to think that they are trying.

So I say good...let Washington close. And let us see how long we can get by without those assholes. Let's call their bluff and try to struggle along since the two political parties have no interest in saving this country - only their careers.

And please, please, SHUT THE FUCK UP DONALD TRUMP! You are still talking about Obama's birth certificate? Funny how all your GOP buddies at one time wanted to change that rule for Arnold the Governator, then he fucked up Cali-phone-eeya...

Bear's Last Dance: RIP Owsley Stanley
Another giant has fallen, The Bear is gone. Mr. Stanley and I had a brief but very interesting correspondence through email a few years back. He let me in on his beliefs on human nutrition (he only ate animal products - take that hippies!), and especially his views on global warming - which he believed is just the short term melting of the ice caps on the way to the next ice age. Sorry Bear if I didn't get it right yet again... http://www.rollingstone.com/culture/news/owsley-stanley-the-king-of-lsd-20110314 Lastly, he preferred to be called Bear, his given name of Owsley Stanley he felt did

Charlie Sheen is WINNING! No, I'm Serious
Charlie Sheen is Obi-Wan Kenobi, as in "strike me down and I shall become stronger than you can possibly imagine..." Why you ask? Because this ain't no train wreck, it is the birth of a new entity: Viral Charlie Sheen. CBS would be fools to get rid of him now, he's bigger than ever. With stuff like this, man he's a fucking goldmine! WINNING? You damn right Charlie.

No Sympathy For Dead Missionaries
Plain and simple: You got the money to sail around the world for years in a million dollar yacht passing out bibles - then I shed no tears when fate bites you in the ass. I hate the concept of missionary work - too much of the "white man's burden" stigma attached. Besides, what kind of ego must you have to think that it was because of YOU alone that people are finding God? Fuck them. They were well aware of what happens in that part of the world - and yet were heading for Djibouti anyway. So why should we help them? The right wing radio nitwits are saying we should have come down and killed

Middle East Revolt Express: Next Stop Morocco
Ahhh Morocco, it has been too long... Every time I look at that Berber rug on my floor I remember what I went through to get it. I will also never forget the filth and poverty that was in juxtaposition to the new fancy resorts that were being built on the highway to Tetouan. I remember a border in which the Spanish side of Cueta was clean and the Moroccan side was strewn with trash. I recall what looked a mountain of dirty diapers piled up on the side of the road and continuing, like a jetty out to the beach below. Maybe it is time for Moroccans to start taking control of their own destiny and

Obama's Budget: Will It Be Enough? 1
Probably not - but he's cutting more that I would have thought and that can be a good thing. Republicans want more cuts of course, but notice how the things they want to cut actually hurt the people who usually vote for their party. What about cutting some foreign aid to Israel, Egypt and Saudi Arabia for starters? And they are always loathe to cut anything in the defence budget - if they do it usually hurts the troops on the ground like no body armor. Meanwhile there are usually billions of dollars in a defence black hole for projects that may never see the light of day. Regardless, more

Middle East Uprisings: Iron Curtain All Over Again?
Is this similar to what happened in Eastern Europe and the Soviet Union from 1988-92? Well in a way I think it is, in that the Western nations will try to claim this as a victory for democracy - yet in reality it is the people that are causing the greatest change. Now the problem the West faces is will they like what happens next. Military takeovers, Theocracy or the true will of the people? The United States has always supported democracy in the region publicly, but policy says otherwise - with a history of supporting hardliners to keep the peace - from the Shah, to Saddam, to Mubarak and
