Summary of Current Events

Again, no shortage of stuff to make mention of…


1) A-Biden by the Base:


Joe Biden is a punk
. He always has been. That’s nothing new for me to say as I wrote about it as soon as Obama made the mistake of picking him.

Joe Biden is an idiot and a coward. Instead of telling the Teabagger traitors to “stop whining” he’s cowering in their shadow. That’s all this statement was about, Biden cowering.
As for Obama, this is nothing new. He slapped us in the face the moment he became President by embracing Joe Lieberman. John Edwards may have turned out to be an asshole, but he had more guts than Obama and Biden combined.

Centrists are cowards by nature. One must be terrified at the concept of taking a principled stand in order to be a Centrist in the first place. Biden and Obama are both Centrists and that should explain this episode in it’s entirety.

I’m still voting Democratic in November. I urge all fellow Leftists to do likewise. The important thing is to beat back the Teabagger filth. After that, we’ll have two sweet years of rubbing Obama and Biden’s sorry faces in every word they spoke. We vow to make fools of them both, every single day, regardless of who has a majority or where. But we still have a job to do for our country and that’s going to the polls in force in November.

2) Outsourcing Our Jobs:

Just in case you hadn’t heard, Republicans and the Chamber of Communists just prevented Democrats from putting a stop to the corporatist practice of sending our jobs overseas. The primary cause of job loss in America.

Congressional Democrats attempted to establish legislation that would have laid heavy taxes on treasonous corporations that are based here at home but send our jobs to other countries. Republicans, as usual, performed for their corporate masters and shit on average Americans.

So what else is new?

3) Jimmy Carter Hospitalized:

Former President and finest gentleman to ever hold that office has been hospitalized in Ohio.

We hope and pray for his quick and full recovery.

4) Elmo’s Fire:

A guy attacked Sesame Street character, Elmo, in a Guitar Center outlet in Winter Park Florida. Elmo kicked his ass.

5) Outsourcing Everything, Even Libraries:

One of the saddest things I’ve heard in a long time is that some communities are outsourcing libraries. The Library is one of the most sacred, publicly owned community institutions in America.
Now, for whatever reason, some corporate pig-fucks at a company called Library Systems & Services, LLC are worming their way into our nation’s libraries and proceeding to fire librarians, cut pay, pensions and benefits, and turn these All American institutions into hollow shells filled with corporate drones who care little or nothing about education and the free access to information.

According to Fascist Pig and LSSI’s CEO, Frank Pezzanite…
“There’s this American flag, apple pie thing about libraries,". “Somehow they have been put in the category of a sacred organization.”

Sad to hear this Pig’s disdain for Americana. But that’s what corporations like LSSI are, the antithesis of what is traditionally American.
CEO Frank Pigganite must have been one of those spoiled, unruly kids that got kicked out of the library for vandalism or other such horseplay a time or two.
Never have I heard such deep-rooted hatred for libraries and the fine, local people that run them.

This is about two things…. Union busting, as many librarians are Union members who joined in order to protect their livings from threats just like this…and of course, control of what we read.
Don’t think for one second that corporate Fascists like Frank Pigganite won’t, once ingrained, attempt to remove literature that’s unfriendly to the corporate way or their Republican whipping boys. They will, I promise you they will.

If you live in Germantown, TN, you might want to keep an eye on Germantown Community Library. It has already been taken over by the Library-For-Profit types.

LSSI is a foreign (UK) company attempting to take over libraries in the US. They are union-busting Fascist Pigs and they’re taking the community out of our libraries.
They are firing the librarians that were there for us when we were kids and dissolving their pensions.

Boycott any Library that is managed by these scum.

6) Booing with the Stars

I usually don’t touch this entertainment industry crap and I could give a flying fuck who danced with the stars or whatever, but I happened to be at mom’s house and was walking by the TV and asked who was being booed and if they were really that bad.

Turns out it was the audience booing Sara Palin who stopped by to watch her pudgy daughter make a fool of herself with some Baryshnikov wannabe that looked like he was just dragged in from the alley.

Looks like even the Jerry Springer mentality knows an idiot when they see one.
