Not all of this
stuff is political. Hey, I warned you that might happen from time to time.
Enjoy…
Over 40,113 heat
records have been broken this year so far. 799 of them in the first 5 days
of January. 1,584 counties in
the U.S. have been declared natural disaster areas by the Department of
Agriculture due to drought caused by the heat records. That's approximately 55%
of the entire USA. August 2011 - August 2012 has been the hottest year on
record since they started tracking that in the late 1800's. July 2012 was the
hottest recorded month in history. Before you get your panties all in a bunch,
I'm not saying this is all proof of man-influenced climate change as a direct
result of burning fossil fuels, clear-cutting forests and using all our water
to feed our meat fetish. Just kidding. That's exactly what I'm saying. You can
go ahead and shove your panties up your ass, now. Morons.
From NASA:
Temperature
Data: 1880-2011
- Global temperatures
have warmed significantly since 1880, the beginning of what scientists call the
"modern record." At this time, the coverage provided by weather
stations allowed for essentially global temperature data. As greenhouse gas
emissions from energy production, industry and vehicles have increased,
temperatures have climbed, most notably since the late 1970s. In this animation
of temperature data from 1880-2011, reds indicate temperatures higher than the
average during a baseline period of 1951-1980, while blues indicate lower
temperatures than the baseline average. (Data source: NASA Goddard Institute
for Space Studies. Visualization credit: NASA Goddard Space Flight Center
Scientific Visualization Studio) -
(Nine out of the ten warmest years have been after the year 2000.)
Dr. James Hansen,
director of NASA’s Goddard Institute for Space Studies and the father of
climate change science just completed his study of peer-reviewed research. His
analysis concluded that “…for the extreme hot weather of the recent past, there
is virtually no explanation other than climate change.”
Richard Muller, a
University of California physics professor, Macarthur Fellow and former climate
change skeptic whose research was funded by the Koch brothers has concluded
that
“…global warming was
real and that the prior estimates of the rate of warming were correct. I’m now
going a step further: Humans are almost entirely the cause.”

acknowledge that they are ugly?

August 8, 2012: Disney CEO, Bob Iger popped his glans up on
FOX “Business” to complain that the U.S. corporate tax rate is “among the
highest in the world, if not the highest,” creating “a loss of jobs and a loss
of revenue.” Do you know what happened earlier on that same day? Well then,
I’ll tell you. The Walt Disney Corporation announced its HIGHEST QUARTERLY
EARNINGS EVER.
The FACT of the matter is, contrary to all the corporations
continually lying about what Obama’s doing to destroy America, marginal
CORPORATE TAXES are at their LOWEST POINT in 40 years. Second lowest in the developed world. At the same exact time, CORPORATE PROFITS hit an all-time HIGH ($824
Billion) in June.
How can Republican douches proclaim ‘Obama is anti-business’
without expecting to be laughed at by people with brains?

Also at the same exact time, WAGE-RATES are at an all-time LOW. Maybe all these corporations
should pay their employees living wages comparable to 2012 inflation rates.
It’s difficult living on 1967 wages (adjusted for inflation). You know, let
some of that wealth ‘trickle down’ for the FIRST TIME EVER. It might lift a
family or two out of poverty.

So let me get this
straight: right-wing nut-jobs for the past 4 years never stop claiming Obama is
a Kenyan, Muslim, atheist, anti-Christ, Nazi contrary to facts and reality, and
it’s Obama who has to
release his papers to prove himself (even though he did, but right-wing
nut-jobs ignore that and keep on insisting), but Harry Reid claims Romney
hasn't paid any taxes in 10 years, BECAUSE ROMNEY WON'T RELEASE HIS TAX RETURNS
LIKE EVERYONE WHO RUNS FOR PRESIDENT DOES, and Harry Reid is the douche who has to prove what he says. Did I get that right?
Perennial victim
Republicans are hypocritical whiney bitches who want everything their way. Grow
up.

Romney met with Lemar
Koethe in order to show his concern for the how the drought is affecting an
average struggling American farmer. I’m sure you saw the pictures:
 |
| Lemar Koeth is on the left, Iowa Agriculture Secretary Bill Northey is on the right, an awkward humanoid robot unable to emotionally connect with humans is in the middle |
Lemar Koethe wants the
government to keep its hands off of farming (except for the farm bill to
subsidize farmers), claiming that the government is making farming difficult.
Oh, yeah, and maybe the drought, a little bit, too. Lemar Koethe never explains
just how the government makes farming difficult. Lemar Koethe owns 54 soy and
corn farms, all subsidized by the government, having received $133,000 over a
16 year period. Lemar Koethe is also a real estate mogul, the president of
Marko Properties, with an annual revenue of approximately $500,000 split
between 1 – 4 employees. Lemar Koethe is also a concert promoter who has booked
Slipknot as his 24,000 square foot venue, the 7 Flags Event Center, which
started its life in 1988 as a $5 million health club, the 7 Flags Fitness and
Racquet Club. Lemar Koethe also owns an average Iowa farmhouse spaceship with
an underground garage, car wash and recreation center.

Erin Seidler,
President Obama’s Iowa campaign spokeswoman, said, “Romney has no references to
agriculture or farming on his campaign website, has no mention of the farm bill
in his 59-point plan for jobs and economic growth and is opposing the wind
production tax credit. During the Iowa caucuses, he refused to take a position
on the farm bill, and he said himself in Council Bluffs that he doesn’t know a
lot about agriculture, specifically corn.”
Erin Seidler points
out that President Obama, on the other hand, has done these things for farming
just within the past month:
-
made credit more
accessible to farmers impacted by drought
-
offered new land
for emergency haying and grazing
-
worked with crop
insurance companies to extend the time farmers have to pay their premiums
-
helped increase
the availability of feed and water
-
called for
Congress to pass the farm bill
Congratulations,
Romney, on meeting with yet another one of us average multi-millionaire common
folk to show your concern for our well-being. What’s Obama ever done to compare
to that?

I’ve been saying this as well:

When I pay taxes my whole working life into a system such as
Medicare, Unemployment, Welfare or Social Security, it’s not an “entitlement”
when I then collect on it, you fucking asshole Republicans. I know you want me
to believe it is so you have an excuse
to take it away from me so you can pay for more tax cuts for millionaires, you
fucking asshole Republicans. Your asshole hero, Ayn Rand is sucking cocks in hell, to paraphrase a
movie quote.

Also did you know…
It was Ronald Reagan who first started borrowing from Social
Security to pay off foreign debt because he reduced the tax rate from 70% down
to 50%, which substantially dropped revenue? And since that precedent was set,
every President thereafter has continued to borrow from Social Security, which
is the real reason it is in trouble. If this highly efficient socialist
government program was left alone to operate in the way it was designed, there
would be no problem with it.

In Ohio, there are 2 Democrats and 2 Republicans on the
county election boards. In Republican counties, all four are voting for
extended hours on nights and weekends. In Democratic counties, the Republican
board members are objecting to expanding hours on nights and weekends. Due to
that tie, the Republican Secretary of State, Jon Husted must cast his vote. Any
guesses as to which way he’s voted?
How exactly is suppressing only Democrats from voting
supposed to prevent voter-fraud, aside from the fact that preventing early
voting in general doesn’t stop voter-fraud in any way?
If this wasn’t any more crystal clear of proof of
Republicans suppressing Democratic votes, then I don’t know what could be. And
since this Republican Fascism is getting virtually NO media coverage, the next
time someone claims the media is liberally biased, I’m going to tell them to go
eat a liberal amount of shit.
If you can’t get votes due to merit, then the Fascist
suppression of opposition is the way to go. When Republicans don’t get their
way, removing democracy is their solution. Fuck you, Republican Fascists.

Saw a self-serving commercial for Clean Coal. It concluded
by telling us to go to their website to “Get the facts.” Two things: First,
there is no such thing as clean coal, no matter how cleverly you re-brand your
dirty product. Second, even if there was a magical device that you could
install in your factories to clean the coal, the Republicans, their uneducated
Teabag wing and the coal industry itself would lobby against it because they
would all claim it would be a ‘job-killer’ and that it takes away freedom. And
that Obama is a foreigner that hates America.

Morgan Stanley helped rig electricity prices in New York.
The price fixing scheme cost approximately $300 million to consumers, $21.6
million went directly into Morgan Stanley’s coffers. Morgan Stanley was ordered
to pay $4.8 million as punishment – less than a quarter of what they stole –
and do not have to admit to any wrongdoing. And the $4.8 million is going to
the U.S. Treasury instead of back to the people who the money was stolen from.
This Justice Department ruling has given a license to giant corporations to
steal from citizens. Not that they weren’t already. Giant corporations, if you
plan on stealing money from the people, the government will charge you a 25%
operator’s fee. Hey, the government has to get their cut, too, y’ know.

And Republican windsock Mittens Moe Money was bullied by the
Republican Party into picking Ayn Rand for his Vice Presidential running mate.
Let the meme-ing begin.
How do the people who Ryan represents feel about him? And
what does he do if they dare to question his Fascistic policy ideas?
Paul Ryan "Townhall" Arrests
And after the police got that last senior citizen to the
ground, cuffed and arrested him for trespassing (which he wasn’t, he paid the $15
to attend) and resisting arrest (which he wasn’t, he was questioning Ryan’s
plans to gut Medicare and Social Security), Ryan joked at his expense.
