Gov. Rick Snyder: Michigan’s Right-To-Work Law “Pro-Worker.”

Dec 12, 2012 No Comments by

Oh, so you think unions are bad for business and workers. OK, here’s one reason why you’re wrong. Yep, and I’ll give it to you in one word. Are you ready? Here it goes: slavery. Yeah, marinate on that one for a few and get back to me. But don’t tell that to Michigan’s Republican [...]

Newark, New Jersey Mayor Corey Booker On Food Stamps?

Dec 06, 2012 1 Comment by

Newark, New Jersey mayor Corey Booker is living on Food Stamps. No, this has nothing to do with him being melanin afflicted, and being predisposed to slothfulness. Starting out as a challenge to one of his right-wing leaning followers on Twitter, who asserted that, “nutrition is not a responsibility of the government. Apparently, Booker is [...]

Understanding the Hatred of the Poor in America

Dec 05, 2012 2 Comments by

So I would really  like to understand a few things, namely why a person who publicly outlined their “plan” to avoid serving this country during a time of war that included wearing crap filled pants for several days to establish mental incapacity, and who’s only claim to fame is an obscure and extremely brief music [...]

Hurricane Sandy: Obama Makes It, Christie Takes It, & Romney Fakes It

Nov 01, 2012 8 Comments by

I don’t know what it means to “look presidential”. But in the wake of Hurricane Sandy, the media keeps saying that Pres. Obama is “looking presidential.” Yep, that’s all I keep hearing. Well damn, is he supposed to look like someone running around screaming like he’s in the path of a Tsunami yelling, “RUN NIGGA, [...]

A Rant From the 47%: Alzheimer, Medicare, & Medicaid

Oct 26, 2012 No Comments by

After another phone call by a local home medical supply company to harass my mother into trying to find a way to BUY a hospital bed for her 100 year old mother I am way beyond pissed off and truly need to vent. The latest in this saga has them now calling and telling her [...]

Unemployment Drops to 7.8%, and Right-Wing Goes Batshit

Oct 05, 2012 3 Comments

Before I get deep into this post, allow me to take a moment to give major props to the Speaker of the House, John Boehner. I don’t know if you’ve heard — because, unlike me you’re busy watching Reality TV — but the unemployment rate has now fallen to 7.8 percent. This is a record [...]

The “47 Percent” to Mitt Romney: Nice Try, But We Don’t Believe You

Sep 19, 2012 1 Comment

So yeah, about that whole lazy moocher, non-tax-paying, 47 percent, Obama-loving-voter meme running around in right-wing circles this week thanks to Mitt Romney. My man David Callahan who blogs over at Demos has done an excellent job of debunking much of it in a recent post titled, Freeloader Fabrications. I believe the post to be [...]

Romney to Wealthy Donors: 47% of Voters are “Victims,” “Dependent” on Government

Sep 17, 2012 3 Comments

You know, I’ve always wondered what rich white people talked about among themselves. In my head I always figured the typical conversation in a room full of wealthy white folks would include stock tips, Grey Poupon, and which black guy Kim Kardashian was having sex with. The last thing I would expect is for them to [...]

Paul Ryan Gives Candy to Unemployed Workers at Labor Day Parade

Sep 04, 2012 2 Comments

You know, I’m starting to second guess Mitt Romney’s VP pick, Paul Ryan. All this time I thought he was a cold and heartless politician much like the guy at the top of the Republican presidential ticket. Judging by his much talked-about budget proposal, with 60% of its cuts targeting the most vulnerable among us, [...]

Mayor Joe Curtatone: Mitt Romney’s Economics Failed Massachusetts

Sep 01, 2012 6 Comments

Back when most of my friends were mad at Corey Booker for finding the Obama campaign Bain attacks to be “nauseating,” I defended him. I’m not going to say that said attacks didn’t work, or helped to frame the debate and establish a clear choice between Pres. Obama and Mitt Romney. As a matter of [...]

White People are the Last Slaves in America

Aug 22, 2012 4 Comments

Got a question for you, white people….now that the rich elite have destroyed the middle class, what are you going to do? There is no middle ground anymore….poor white people are back to being on equal footing with black people….just like back in slavery days in America. Prior to 1670….poor white people were treated the [...]
