Tweets on Ryan
Who knew tweeting was such fun?
Enjoy!
“Ryan: Trillions Could Be Cut from Budget if We Eliminate Empathy” -Andy Borowitz on Twitter
“Paul Ryan is Romney’s pick for VP. Perfect choice. Ryan’s a water boy for the super rich and Mitt Romney is thirsty.” -Adam McKay on Twitter
“Let’s not let a bunch of cheap jokes about Paul Ryan looking like Eddie Munster distract us from the fact that he is a sociopath.” – Andy Borowitz
“Paul Ryan wants to cut food for poor people. That American bastard totally stole that idea from Dad.” -KimJongNumberUn on Twitter
“Paul Ryan has strong, unbreakable beliefs: Like the poor have it too good and billionaires just need a break.” –LOLGOP on Twitter
“Paul Ryan made all his interns read Ayn Rand. So I guess we know where he stands on torture.” -Andy Borowitz
“Paul Ryan seems like the kind of guy you could have a beer with, just before he takes your Medicare away.” -Mark Harris on Twitter
“Mitt Romney choosing Paul Ryan is like putting a sheet of blank paper inside a manila envelope.” -DamienFahey on Twitter
“Since Romney doesn’t care about poor people, he needed to balance the ticket with someone who doesn’t care about old people.” -Andy Borowitz
“If Paul Ryan popped up in the first ten minutes of a Law and Order episode, you’d be all ‘oh, he’s the killer’.” – bazecraze on Twitter

“Ryan is opposed to Obamacare and Medicare. Also, the word ‘care’.” – Andy Borowitz
“Mitt Romney, Paul Ryan To Awkwardly Hug, High Five For Next Three Months” – onion.com on Twitter
On This Date August 13th
We have certainly come a long way since Aug. 13th 1960.
That is the date of the first two-way telephone conversation via satellite.
And these days it happens all the time and we don't even know it.
That is the date of the first two-way telephone conversation via satellite.
And these days it happens all the time and we don't even know it.
Romney picks Eddie Munster as VP
Well it looks like that if the TeaParty (there is no republican party anymore) wins in November, I'll not be able to retire as soon as I had hoped.
The Eddie Munster budget plan will turn medicare into a coupon/voucher system and Social Security will be gutted and there will be less and less help for the poor.
Well if the TeaParty gets elected I will very rapidly become one of the poor.
Eddie is a supply sideer. Meaning more of the failed RayGunOmics that caused this whole mess in the first place.
More here later today.

Plutocrats Deserve Public Scorn
By Carl Gibson, Reader Supported News
While sipping on an iced coffee and getting some work done in a Starbucks in the white, conservative, wealthy part of Connecticut, I kept hearing three old, white, conservative, wealthy Connecticut men carrying on about how the Senate doesn't work anymore because the Democrats haven't been able to pass a budget in three years. Unable to concentrate, I set my coffee down, turned to them, and said:
"The Senate doesn't work anymore because the Republicans will filibuster absolutely everything that isn't in lockstep with their plutocratic views."
The Starbucks got really quiet. One guy chided me about how "brainwashed" I was, and asked me how the Kool-Aid tasted. His friend, the more outspoken one, decided to engage.
"The Democrats control the Senate. And they haven't passed a budget in three years," he spat.
"Did you know the Republicans actually stopped the Buffett Rule from even coming to a vote? They wouldn't even allow debate on a bill that would make the top half of the top 1 percent pay the same tax rate as me and you," I said, feeling my blood start to run hot. "If you don't make a million dollars a year, the Republicans don't care about you. Unless you have a lobbyist. Do you have a lobbyist?"
The guy who chided me about drinking Kool-Aid stood up and walked back over to the counter and let his friend fend for himself.
"The Democrats still haven't passed a budget," he continued. "And any bill that comes out of the House just gets thrown to the side."
"That's because the House Republicans put in a clause to build the Keystone XL pipeline in every bill they pass, even if it's something like a resolution commending the kid who won the spelling bee," I retorted.
I felt the eyes of everyone in the Starbucks on me. So I went on the offensive.
"Why are you shilling for these guys, anyway? How many lobbyists do you have?" I asked.
"I don't have any lobbyists," he replied.
"You know GE hired one lobbyist for every three members of Congress in 2010? And that GE got a $3.2 billion tax refund that year instead of paying federal taxes? Think there's a connection there?"
"Corporations don't pay taxes," he said predictably. "If corporate taxes go up, they raise the prices on their goods. The customers pay the corporate taxes."
"No, they don't," I said, laughing. "I'm a small business owner. I have revenue and costs. If my revenue and my costs zero out, then I pay zero taxes. If my revenue exceeds my costs, I pay taxes on those profits. The cost of my service is in no way affected by the taxes I pay. It's like Puff and Biggie said - 'Mo Money, Mo Problems.'"
The hip-hop reference was lost on the guy. "We definitely need to reform the tax code. You know, 47% of Americans don't pay any taxes at all," he said nauseatingly. "We need to make sure everybody pays something."
"You know 83% of the top 100 corporations didn't pay taxes for at least one year over a 7-year period?" I asked him. "The dollar in my pocket is a dollar more than Bank of America, Wells Fargo, Citigroup and GE all paid in federal taxes since 2008, combined."
The guy's friends all got quiet, watching me with their noses turned up. I continued:
"And that 47% already pays a third of their income in sales, property, payroll and excise taxes. Now you want to tax those people more instead of make millionaires and big corporations pay the same tax rate we already do?"
"You're obviously too brainwashed for me to save," he said. "So I'll close with this: Your generation is already going to pay tens of thousands of dollars because of Obama's debt. And he's going to make the debt hit $20 trillion by 2020. That means we'll have to make cuts of $800 billion a year. Everyone with common sense knows we need to balance the budget with spending cuts and tax increases."
I didn't let him go.
"I totally agree with you. As far as spending cuts go, we can start with ending the wars and the F-35 program. That's $1.5 trillion that hasn't done a thing. Even John McCain says it's wasteful. That's a few hundred billion a year right there. And as far as the tax code is concerned, all you need to do is five things."
"Five things?" he scoffed. "It'll take a lot more than that."
"No, it won't," I said. "First thing - new tax bracket for households making over a million a year."
"That won't make a dent," the guy said.
"Let me finish. That's about $100 billion a year, every year. Next, you put in a 3-cent financial transaction tax on derivatives and other speculative trading. That's $1.5 trillion in ten years. Then you close excessive corporate tax loopholes, and make those guys pay what small businesses pay. That's another $155 billion a year. Then you progressively tax estates worth $5 million on up. Not even $3 million, just five. All that equals $4 trillion in ten years. Know what number five is?"
"What?"
"Use all that new revenue we just gained to reverse all the budget cuts at the state level, and create a massive WPA-style jobs program to cut unemployment in half and fix all of our roads and bridges and schools and parks. And we'd still have a couple trillion left over to put towards the debt. But since most of that debt comes from tax cuts for billionaires and the wars, we won't even have a deficit."
The coffee shop was quiet. The guy's friend was still watching me from the counter.
"Look! I just fixed the economy and it only affected 0.1% of the population!"
The guy's friends left shortly after he did.
Maybe some folks might be critical of me for launching into a sensitive political conversation on a Saturday afternoon at a coffee shop. But the only way to get the GOP (Guardians Of Plutocracy) out of office is to vilify them in public and shame their supporters. It isn't about Republican vs. Democrat anymore. It's about if somebody's end goals and policies are geared towards helping the top 0.1%, or everyone else. We shouldn't be afraid to call people out when we hear them shill for Plutocrats.
And I guarantee you if those guys see me in public again, they'll shift the conversation toward sports.
Carl Gibson, 24, of Lexington, Kentucky, is a spokesman and organizer for US Uncut, a nonviolent, creative, direct-action movement to stop budget cuts by getting corporations to pay their fair share of taxes. He graduated from Morehead State University in 2009 with a B.A. in Journalism before starting the first US Uncut group in Jackson, Mississippi, in February of 2011. Since then, over 20,000 US Uncut activists have carried out more than 300 actions in over 100 cities nationwide. You may contact Carl at carl@rsnorg.org.

New York City is investigating the death last September of a baby who contracted herpes after a "ritual circumcision with oral suction," in an ultra-Orthodox Jewish ceremony known in Hebrew as metzitzah b'peh.
In a practice that takes place during a ceremony known as the bris, a circumcision practitioner, or mohel, removes the foreskin from the baby's penis, and with his mouth sucks the blood from the incision to cleanse the wound.
Yes you read that right.

It's times like these I wish I believed in hell. If there was a hell I know Andy would begetting a good skull fucking from his idol Ronnie Ray Gun.

And a great big FUCK YOU to the traitor. Ronnie Hawkins, the new head of the Defense Information Systems Agency (DISA),
Last week, when Air Force Lt. Gen. Ronnie Hawkins, the new head of the Defense Information Systems Agency (DISA), held a commander’s call to introduce himself to DISA’s employees, the new boss showed a PowerPoint presentation that included the 18 rules he lives by.
The first of “Ronnie’s Rules” was “Always put God first, and stay within his will,” and the last was ” Alway remember that God is good — all the time!”
Fuck you ronnie and fuck your silly belief. There is no god, yes I spelled it correctly, with a little g.
And you have just confirmed that you will break your oath to the United States of America by putting god first, and not your country as your oath commands.
That Ronnie is treason.
Rick Santorum you fucking Crazy Christer
Rick Santorum is a Crazy Christer, Anti-Health care, Anti-Contraception, Mysogynist, Bigoted, Racist Republican who believes it is snobish to think that everyone should have the opportunity to go to college.
Well frothy you are an idiot and so is everyone in this video who is supporting you.
You are a fucking Crazy Christer who is an amoral fuck just like Newt the serial divorcer and womanizer.

Radical Girl Scouts out to destroy America
Indiana Republican lawmaker Rep. Bob Morris, is a fucking ignorant loon.
It seems we have a lot of them in Indiana.
It seems we have a lot of them in Indiana.
If you have been reading the political web today, you've probably come across Bob Morris, an Indiana State Representative who has condemned the Girl Scouts as "sexualizing" young girls and molding them into "feminists, lesbians, or Communists." Let's get to know him better. He's only been a legislator since 2010, but long before he ran for office, Morris was often in the local newspapers -- he was good for a quote. Before he turned to politics, he mostly showed up in the press promoting dietary supplements he sold, such as by encouraging high school athletes to take Creatine in 2005. (Why shouldn't they? He did, and reported to the the Fort Wayne News Sentinel that it "transformed his body over the past six months into something any high school football player would envy.") That's why you could see Morris's attack on Girl Scouts as a cabal of left-wing lesbians coming. Like other political trolling that comes out of the statehouses every few days (hours?), Morris has been practicing for years. Today's outrage may look like an overnight sensation in courting controversy, but it was really years in the making. Welcome to Profiles in Politrolling, our occasional series on the people behind the news outrage of the day.

Santorum (frothy mixture) Lies About Obama
The Lie that the christian scumbag told.
A blatant lie, another blantant lie I should say.
What a christian this fuck wad is.
Santorum,,, please google it, please.
The first link in google will be this http://spreadingsantorum.com/
Enjoy it and spread the word.
"What they’ve done here is a direct assault on the First Amendment, not only a direct assault on the freedom of religion, by forcing people specifically to do things that are against their religious teachings. . . . This is a president who, just recently, in this Hosanna-Tabor case was basically making the argument that Catholics had to, you know, maybe even had to go so far as to hire women priests to comply with employment discrimination issues. This is a very hostile president to people of faith. He’s a hostile president, not just to people of faith, but to all freedoms."
A blatant lie, another blantant lie I should say.

"Low-intelligence adults tend to gravitate toward socially conservative ideologies" Dah!
The research finds that children with low intelligence are more likely to hold prejudiced attitudes as adults. These findings point to a vicious cycle, according to lead researcher Gordon Hodson, a psychologist at Brock University in Ontario. Low-intelligence adults tend to gravitate toward socially conservative ideologies, the study found. Those ideologies, in turn, stress hierarchy and resistance to change, attitudes that can contribute to prejudiceHello! We all Know this. We have been saying it for years.
Brains and BiasAgain, Hello!
Earlier studies have found links between low levels of education and higher levels of prejudice,
"I think that lower cognitive capacity can lead to multiple simple ways to represent the world, and one of those can be embodied in a right-wing ideology where 'People I don't know are threats' and 'The world is a dangerous place"

Make Piracy your Friend. Perkel has done it again
Solution to the problem of copyright piracy and protecting civil libertiesRead On
The United States Congress in order to address the concerns of copyright holders like the RIAA and the MPA have made several attempts to pass laws to protect intellectual property. Many of these ideas have led to terrible laws and proposals the totally break the Internet.
BTW - Copyright by Marc Perkel - public domain. Use this as you wish! Spread it around. Please link to this web page.
Make Piracy your Friend
Here's an idea for a solution to the piracy problem that is a win/win solution. This eliminates the need for SOPA. It is an outside the box solution so think deeply. The idea is:
Don't try to stop piracy. Make piracy your friend!
What we now call piracy - people copying movies and songs over the internet - can be look at as a free advertising and distribution system. Allow files to be uploaded - downloaded - copied - and distributed. The more the better.

Indianas Corporate Wet Dream
Indiana House committee advances right-to-work billLet's get the name of this bill right.
It should be called "The Right To Work For Less" bill.
INDIANAPOLIS (Reuters) – An Indiana state House committee advanced Republican backed right-to-work legislation to the full House in a 15-minute meeting on Tuesday, one day after Democrats ended a boycott that had blocked its path.
The measure passed to the full Indiana state House of Representatives in an 8-5 vote along party lines over loud objections from opponents, who had asked to receive more testimony on the proposal they see as an assault on unions.
If the right-to-work proposal is approved, Indiana would be the first state in the industrial heartland of the United States to adopt such a law. It is in force in 22 other states, mostly in the South and West.
The facts speak for very loudly.
For an inclusive picture of economic vitality, let's look at the Gross Domestic Product (GDP) for the states in 2010? If we do that, we find that eight of the 10 states with the highest GDP per capita are non-right-to-work states. And when we look at the percent change in GDP in 2010, we discover that of the 10 states with the largest percentage increase, seven were non-right-to-work states. And conversely, seven of the 10 states with the lowest percentage increase (or with a loss) were right-to-work states.Fuck you Mitch and your greedy corporate financiers!

No, Virginia, There Is No Santa Claus
Please go read this post by Greta Christina over at Free Thought Blogs
No Santa Claus! That’s right. He doesn’t live, and he never did. A thousand years from now, Virginia, nay, ten times ten thousand years from now, he will still not exist — and no amount of fatuous, manipulative bloviating will make him real. And the heart of childhood is still made glad: by fancy, by poetry, by romance, by beauty and joy, by truth and knowledge, by love and generosity and devotion, and by the boundless magnificence of the universe.

Cost of Occupy Wall Street?
I'm getting tired of the news reports talking about Occupy Wall Street costing cities millions when they don't talk about the Wall Street crash of 2008 costing the cities billions.
I don't see law enforcement pepper spraying bank executives.
If they enforced bank regulation the way they do park rules we would not be in this mess in the first place.

Newt Gingrich is a Scumbag
"Saying to people you shouldn't go to work before you're 14, 16. You're totally poor, you're in a school that's failing with a teacher that's failing. I tried for years to have a very simple model. These schools should get rid of unionized janitors, have one master janitor, pay local students to take care of the school. The kids would actually do work; they'd have cash; they'd have pride in the schools. They'd begin the process of rising."
