30 Oct 08 Helen Takes No Prisoners
Helen is an 82 year-old woman who lives near Austin, Texas. Her kids gave her a blog and she doesn’t pull many punches. She has a lot to say, and if you visit there, keep reading back for the good stuff. Here’s a sample from something she wrote today to an undecided acquaintance.
Now let’s talk about taxes. John McCain is working overtime to scare the hell out of all the Joe the Fill-in-the-Blank’s out there. He’s trying to fool them into thinking that they actually make enough money to be worried. That is the biggest joke the Republican party has managed to play on the good people of America. Most of us don’t even make enough money in a life-time to afford the membership into that club. The idea of a progressive tax where the wealthy pay more in taxes than the poor is nothing new. Not even close. In fact 81% of economist agree with the concept… and here is a real eye opener - until he crapped his pants about losing this election John McCain supported the concept as well. Trust me, that dog don’t hunt, he will say anything to win at this point. De-regulation of banks? He was for it, but now is against it. He was for privatization of social security and now he is against it. He was for the estate tax and now he is against it. He used to have a spine and now he doesn’t. You know, at his age, he should know there’s medication for such personality swings.
If I hear that McCain is a Maverick one more time I just might throw myself to the floor and break a hip. A maverick is an independent individual who doesn’t go along with a group or party. If John McCain’s a maverick I am one of those cheerleaders on the sidelines of Harold’s beloved Dallas Cowboys. Nobody seems to dispute that the Republican party led by George W. Bush got us into this mess but what everybody seems to forget is that Sarah Palin and John McCain are Republicans. Look, when the Religious Right came knocking at the door of the RNC Membership Round-Up, someone should have turned out the porch lights and told everyone inside to be quiet until they went away… the same thing I do when those nice looking boys on bicycles with bibles come to my door. But the Republicans opened that door, invited them in and now they have to live with that decision.
Cecilia, when was the last time a politician brought a tear to your eye… moved you deep in your soul? Honestly when was the last time you really felt that Americans could do anything if we put our hearts and minds to it? I am an old lady. Most of my life politicians have moved me. Most of my life I have felt that Americans can do anything if we put our hearts and minds to it. It’s been 8 long years. I had almost forgotten what that felt like. Thank you Barack Obama. Thank you.
30 Oct 08 FUX Business News Slams McCain
In an amazing turnabout for a FUX newsperson, Neil Cavuto takes John McCain to the woodshed. He describes McCain’s economic policies as inconsistent and confusing. To wrap things up, Cavuto says there’s no straight talk on economics from the straight talk express.

30 Oct 08 The Temperament of a Rabid Badger
On his way to endorsing Obama last night, Steven Colbert had a few words to say about John McCain’s temperament (see above). He also described the Republican party as “A staggering mass of flaming agony” lol.

29 Oct 08 Paul Krugman On The Economy
If you want to understand the basic facts of the economic crisis facing us today, take 30 minutes to watch this video. Charlie Rose interviewed Paul Krugman on October 23rd, shortly after he won the Nobel Prize in Economics. Krugman discusses the causes and outlines several possible solutions.
If institutions need to be rescued like banks, they should be regulated like banks.
29 Oct 08 Sarah Palin Is A Socialist
Keith Olbermann highlighted a few facts about Sarah Palin last night in his Campaign Comment. The key piece of information is the redistribution of wealth she presided over in Alaska. That’s right, Palin used the power of government to take money from the oil business and pass it out to her constituents. If that’s not socialism, what is lol.
29 Oct 08 Obama For Obama
The town of Obama, Japan is going for their 15 minutes of fame, and selling a whole lot of Hawaiian shirts in the process. Gotta love those Obama Obama girls hehe.
28 Oct 08 The Corpse of the Republican Party
A source in the McCain campaign has called Sarah Palin a “whack job”. The rats aren’t headed straight overboard, they’re taking a bite out of the party before they jump. Perhaps the neocons and extreme religionists will be able to coexist with moderate Republicans after this election, and perhaps not. It seems clear they’re doing their best to rip each other to shreds this week.
