Could be a shot of an American automobile plant in a few months, but it's not. Nevertheless, you've got to love the Republican party - they will not back down. No sir, they're out to screw the working class in America as deeply into the ground as they possibly can, and won't quit till they're done. If you're an executive at a failed bank, never fear, the money's here! Your $500,000.00+ per annum is safe as long as the Republicans can draw a breath. But, if you're just a working stiff, well, you're stiffed.

These scum hate unions and all they stand for. You know, things like decent wages, healthcare plans, a pension... And they're willing to sink America to prove it. When you're drawing your last welfare cheque in a year's time, wondering what's going to happen next, remember who you've got to thank.

And just how dickheaded are the members of the not-soon-enough-to-be-forgotten Shrub administration? This dickheaded. I don't know about you, but I can't wait to hear just who it was that was so vital to Dumbya that the new President (hey - the first one in eight long years!) couldn't move in temporarily.

I'm an atheist. Nevertheless, I'm friends (good friends) with a number of people who believe in one or another religion. It makes their lives better. Fine. But, folks like the ones in this story really make it hard to be patient with religion. Bishop Fred, for example, is obviously a cretin. One who will pretty much ensure that at least some of his parishioners, women only, of course, will ultimately die of cervical cancer. Oh, well - they'll just be getting to meet their Maker that much sooner, right? Would that Bishop Fred had already done so.

Meanwhile, in the U.S., it's Republican politics as usual. Heavily reliant on aid from the Scum of the Earth. The Republicans pay them to lie, and FOX puts them on the air. And I always thought the big question in life was what its meaning was. Nope. The big question is why do people vote for these swine?

You can go up, or you can go down. Guess which way the administration at Virginia Commonwealth University chose? Evidently, as long as there's money to be had, they'll suck up to the scum of the Earth, no problem. I can't tell you how much it pisses me off when sleazy swine like these drag my profession into their scummy little pig sty.

Oops. Just before shutting down at the end of another long, hard day (well, O.K., not that hard), I came across this news item. Interesting result from a bunch of folks who elected (sort of) Smirkin' Stevie Harper. Of course, he was elected with the same sort of majority that his idol, Dumbya, was elected with. That is, a minority.
