Ablogination

Briefly, Congressman Phil Roe wants to invite you to a “Health Reform Forum"…but there’s a catch…

Catch is, it’s only for the wealthy and available. As you can see, the event takes place on Friday at 9am. A day and time that most of our citizens are at work and real small business owners, like myself, are busy running the show.
This is a typical Republican act of cowardice that was to be expected from the likes of Roe. Too afraid to engage in honest debate, Roe attempts to make sure that the average working citizens and shop owners cannot make it.

Of course, there will be nothing but the lies I have exposed and explained to you in previous posts, but it would still be nice if Rep. Roe actually gave a rat’s ass about what the average Joe has to say about it.
But alas, it’s only for Roe, his corporate handlers and the wealthiest contributors he can scrape up. This is the “small business makes 250′000+” crowd. 250′000+ is NOT “small” business. The Emporium, Mountain Aire, Lilly’s Market… WE are small business. We have been left out of Roe’s “forum” because we know that only Democrats are concerned with what we need for our businesses and our employees.

Vote Mike Clark for Congress. Because lies don’t create jobs.

The tree is again ripe….

1) Bonfire of Vanity:

Some fake-christian preacher in Florida is planning on burning Korans as a publicity stunt. The hypocritically named Dove World Outreach Center church and it’s asshat dictator, Terry Jones, have riled General Petraeus and many others by putting our troops and American civilians in further danger.

“I strongly condemn that … I think such actions are in a strong contradiction with all of the values we stand for and fight for,” NATO Secretary-General Anders Fogh Rasmussen told reporters in Washington.

U.S. Army General David Petraeus, the U.S. and NATO commander in Afghanistan, and Lieutenant General William Caldwell, commander of the NATO Training Mission in Afghanistan, also have spoken out against the church’s plans.

They said it could undermine President Barack Obama’s efforts to reach out to the world’s 1.5 billion Muslims and trigger retaliation against U.S. forces in Afghanistan.

Now, I don’t have a problem with certain Muslims being offended because they are quick to offend in the same way and are the champions of it.
But Christianity, Jerry Jones, is based on FORGIVENESS! You fucking idiot.

Hitler burned the Torah, Israelis burned the New Testament, and now you burn the Koran. Who is going to win this pointless pissing match?

That’s some “World Outreach” you have there, dickhead. Nothing makes Christianity look worse than a fake preacher that’s full of foulness and demonic principality.

2) Shrooms are Growing:

Professor Charles Grob, from the LA BioMed research institute in Los Angeles, California, has conducted experiments that reveal the fact that psilocybin (good ol’ magic mushrooms) relieves distress and the need for pain medications in cancer patients.
Everything you need to know about Mushrooms can be found at EROWID.ORG

Question is, why did it take this long for some scientist to find out what us psychedelic folk have been telling the world for decades?
Talk about a day late and a dime cap short.

3) Weed is Growing:

A recent scientific study has determined that Marijuana relieves pain and other symptoms of chronic neuropathic ails.

Question is, why did it take this long for some scientist to find out what us psychedelic folk have been telling the world for decades?
Talk about a day late and a doobie short.

4) Democrats in Difficulty?

Tennessee blog To Move a Nation raises the question for the upcoming midterm elections.

Democratic politicians have no one but themselves to blame if Repigs get the upper hand.

Polls mean little or nothing at this point. Exit polls are the only reliable polls. But Democrats have alienated a large part of their base by turning in half-assed accomplishments and needlessly embracing the Right.
The only way Republicans can win is if Democrats fail to turn out to vote. And right now that seems likely.
On the other hand, Democrats are still well ahead of Repigs on funds and most swing voters still remember who is responsible for the woes we are facing. No one wants Republican rule again, not even some Republicans.

Republicans will make gains because they will likely win seats in Republican districts that Conservative Dems won previously.
Their gains will not be significant because they will not win a veto proof majority.

Just the same, Obama and especially the DNC are failing miserably to give the Democratic base any reason to spend the day voting. Tim Kaine has lost the DNC. He has failed to nurture young voters and he has failed to promote our party’s values in all 50 states.
Tim Kaine is a disgrace to Dr. Dean’s legacy and we can only suggest, yet again, that he resign.
Beyond that…
Senate Democrats are out-raising the NRSC by 8% so far and retain the advantage in cash on hand. Democrats have added a number of new PACs to their donor list and have raised 30% more from PACs than the GOP. Dems have also successfully lobbied GOP-aligned PACs to donate to Democratic candidates.
Democratic donors are energized by Teabaggers who whore for corporate interests and keep nominating Right-Wing extremist candidates.

5) No Parole From Rock n Roll:

A slimy little maggot-fuck by the name of Mark David Chapman was recently denied parole in the State of NY.
Chapman, the coward who murdered and martyred legendary poet and musician John Lennon, will have to remain in prison until his next date with the parole board.

According to Yoko Ono, it’s better not only for us that Chapman remain locked down, but it’s better for him too.

Yoko Ono says John Lennon’s killer should stay behind bars - for his own good.

The widow of the Beatles legend Monday said she asked parole officials to deny freedom for Mark David Chapman because a Lennon supporter might seek to take revenge for the slaying.

“It’s dangerous for him to come out,” Ono said. “Not only for us, but for himself.”

Right you are, nice lady. Right you are.
