Just as the Bank bailout was presented, as if there was no choice or disaster, the debt
bailout is just another part of the cous created by the plutocracy that runs our
government now.

The bankers will once again make billions, yet their imaginary money will soon
evaporate, leaving those that have assumed control from the government, they have just
strangled, fighting financial battle after battle, as their sell out destroys millions of
American lives.

The details of out debt slavery, and our austerities will be worked out in the months
ahead, in desperate lives, and sleepless nights as Americans struggle to make bricks out
of straw, while the rich spin lies and fine sounding plans for our continued servitude.

God help us all.

Major events, planned or haphazard, often have unintended, unexpected consequences. Famed anthropologist Jane Wouldall, having just completed a comprehensive one-year study of the current US Congress, announced today that Darwin’s Theory of Evolution is incorrect.
‘Humans did not evolve gradually from mutations to other life forms’, she announced, ‘They were created, fully formed, instantly, in an earthly version of the Big Bang’. ‘And’, she went on, ‘Males and females had slightly different origins’.
She went on to explain, ‘A few thousands of years ago, apes adopted some primitive forms of sanitation. A tribe in the mountains of East Africa began enforcing a code among it’s members that when it was necessary to defecate, they do so only in a cave nearby, instead of in the open forest. The cave they chose was populated by a gigantic colony of bats.
Many years later, according to Wouldall, either god was pi**ed at something, or just having another of his tantrums, and smited the cave with a horrendous bolt of lightning. A few days later, according to Jane’s intensive research, a fully-formed human man, and a fulled-formed human woman, emerged from the cave and took over the leadership of the tribe’s lesser apes.
‘Those of you who might question this, but do not have the time to review my extensive detailed studies’, Jane said, ‘Might just ask yourselves these logical questions: ‘While observing John Boehner, Ryan, Cantor and other TPers, can you think of any other possible explanation for them and their male ilk than that they resulted from an enormous explosion in a steaming pile of apes*it? And ask yourself the same question about Michele Bachmann, Palin, Angle, et.al., could they and their female kind have originated from anything other than a giant blow-up of a pile of bats*it?’

America’s “progressives” are true artists, because they have no new nor good ideas, but they regularly routinely manage to resell their nothing new nor good as being (D) new and good needed.

I was stunned to learn my new Congresswoman voted no. (Perhaps it
sometimes does pay to write them.)

Then Giffords appeared, remarkably enough. I could be cynical (realistic) but
instead would ask only why it is that Wasserman Schultz shed tears over that
and not over the way she and the rest of the asylum inmates at the same time
screwed the people they claim to represent?

It’s a rhetorical question.

Great comment by Olbermann last night, possibly his best ever. (Hey, he’s a
mainstream guy and that was good as it’s going to get outta mainstream. And it
was better than a lot outta alternative media, I might add.) Truthdig ought put
up link.
