the myth of 'Voting against your own self-interest'

Bob Herbert has a piece up at NY Times called 'absorbing the pain'
that's a decent exercise in emapathising with the hardships of the
great recession. Herbert is great, but if I read one more snide
liberal comment about us dumb poor folks voting against our own best
interest, I'm going to shove a literal shit sandwich in person's face.
As someone at corrente noted, voters voted against the party supplying
unending war and corporate croniyism in 2006, and 2008, and 2010.
there is no party that represents the best interest of the bottom 80%,
there is just the shit sandwich, shit sandwich with pickle choice. We
keep firing the people who brought us to this low point, only to have
the jobs filled by people whose major philosophical difference is in
what color ink to use to sign the legislation that fucks us all over.
IOW, Mr. Handwringing Liberal Douchenozzle, you are voting against
your own self-interest everytime you vote straight dem, so kindly shut
your sanctimonious pie hole.

Wisconsin Woes

Up in the shared items section is a link about a little discussed
provision in the WI kill the unions bill would remove legislative
control over medicaid rules and hand it to Wisconsin's douchebag in
charge, i mean governor.
But i'm sure he just has te best interests of the Koch family, I mean
state citizens, in mind.

bwahaahaaha fuckers

Let's see if I can stop snort-laughing long enough to type this. i
just got an email asking if I know any good organizers to help with
Obama's summer bullshitting for America campaign. Perhaps the reaal
reason Obama can't be assed to do anything for the disemployed is that
he needs to be sure his maurading hoardes are available for unpaid
election drudgery and not encumbered by things that provide paychecks.
Btw, I am soooo looking forward to a fresh round of rape threats,
stalking, etc etc from the Obots because i refuse to suck their
audacious cocks.

okay peanut gallery

In just a few weeks my darling boy child will be 16
(holyfuckingshit16howthehelldidthathappen?!!!!?!!) When he was a wee
tiny thing I taught him to pee standing up. Now he's developed the
beggings of a neckbeard and it's time to teach him to shave. Standing
to pee is fairly straight forward, but shaving ones face (especially
one that is in the midst of teenage hormonal eruptions) is less so. So
peeps, male identified peeps, peeps with face shaving experience, what
do I need to know so I can help the Kid.

the reagan connection

for all the love and revision the 'great communicator' is getting, how
come no one has noticed that the north africcan dictators that are
falling have all been in power for about 30 years. i wonder what was
going on 30 years ago that helped these brutal, greedy, murderous
douchebags take power? couldn't have been our own brutal, greedy,
murderous douchebag, could it?
