Obama is at Bat

Yeah, I don't think he would have a chance either, but he sure is doing some bizarre things that make me think he might be thinking about it.

Actually, I was just throwing him out as an example. I'm not very knowledgeable about other GOP governors around the country. But it seems that the next one is going to have to be someone that can come in blazing both pistols who has proven to be against all the washington bullshit.

I'm jaded. I don't think there is such a thing on either side of the aisle.

Unless there are serious reforms on how campaigns are run and how much power the lobbyists wield, I don't forsee much good for 99% of America.

Its sad that everyone in the country sees it and yet nothing can be done about it.

It's all about how the game is setup. If you don't have the power to influence the rules on how the game will be played, there won't ever be a way to change the game's end result.

It's a viscous cycle, and no one realistically and logistically in the 99% has the power to change how it's played.

"The price of apathy towards public affairs is to be ruled by evil men."Plato, ancient Greek philosopher

...“The 20th century has been characterized by three developments of great political importance: The growth of democracy, the growth of corporate power, and the growth of corporate propaganda as a means of protecting corporate power against democracy.”Alex Carey, Australian social scientist

“The most effective way to restrict democracy is to transfer decision-making from the public arena to unaccountable institutions: kings and princes, priestly castes, military juntas, party dictatorships, or modern corporations.” Noam Chomsky, M.I.T. Emeritus Professor of Linguistics

your pirze is in the mail
is anyone dumb enuf to open the link??

I realise that I have a past to break with--an accumulation of inertia, wrong, foolishness, rot, junk.  A great need of clarification, of mindfulness, or rather, of no mind.  A need to return to genuine practice, right effort.  Need to push on the great doubt.  Need for the spirit.  Hang on to the clear light.

Obama will go down as a worse president than Jimmy Carter. If you ever get your head out of his ass and look around you'll see it.

Tell me which happened faster:

1. Obama visits devastated gulf coast on the brink of economical disaster

2. Obama fires General McChrystal for telling the truth about how he feels

Some things?I bet you don't want to go down a list to see the root of most of our problems today.It would be far too painful and expose who's been the gullible fuck who didnt give a shit as long as oil prices stayed high.Chickens are coming home to roost, big guy.

The oil and gas industry provided more than 50,000 jobs in Louisiana in 2009, including 15,000 in Lafayette, according to the Lafayette Economic Development Authority. Oil workers make up slightly more than 10 percent of the local work force, but an even larger share of earnings, with oil and gas workers earning an average of $2,000 a week. A study by the Lafayette Economic Development Authority estimates the moratorium could lead to $466.7 million in lost wages and income, delivering an economic impact of $2.4 billion to Lafayette.
