Recent Republican shills like Sean “Ins” Hannity are declaring their disinterest in the mortgage crisis as he did recently on his radio show. They claim that American taxpayers should not have to pay for someone else’s misfortunes stating boldly that it was their own stupidity that got them in financial trouble. They divide the middle-class against the lower middle-class claiming that it would take $Billions to bail out a bunch of dead-beats that can’t pay their own bills. A bunch of dead beats huh? What if I were to tell you some of these dead beats were members of the United States Military?

It’s true, apparently many members of the Armed Services are having trouble making their housing payments. The banks are often ignoring them (of course, like they care), and many soldiers are slipping through the cracks. This is not because they were discharged or anything like that, it’s just that financial institutions were in such a desperate need to take advantage of people looking for the American Dream, that they ripped off American soldiers! After all, corporations have no nationality, so why should it make …

A Washington Post article today is claiming that private debt collectors, hired by the IRS to pursue debtors, cost more than they bring in! Well isn’t THAT rich?! And I mean RICH, like richer than Dick Cheney with an army of convicts & thieves Rich (LOL, wait a minute, isn’t that the Bush Administration). As Progressives, this relationship between privatization and nationalization is complex and important. Nationalizing seems to let wealth waste away while privatizing TAKES maximum wealth away. The true answer must lie somewhere in the middle.

It’s funny, because this very topic came up the other day. While it wasn’t the IRS, it was the local Los Angeles city government, which pursued an associate of mine for thousands of dollars in unpaid taxes. The math didn’t add up, and when this person called, the city was forced to take a second look, which uncovered that, indeed, their math was wrong. Not just wrong, however, THEY ADDED AN EXTRA ZERO by complete mistake! DOH! How come they never forget to plus or minus a zero in our favor? I was wondering if it ended up …

One of the Presidential Candidates has proven beyond a shadow of a doubt that their campaign for the Presidency has stalled, that they have deceived a great deal of the American People, especially the working class and should consider stepping aside so that a better, stronger candidate can proceed. This candidate’s campaign has become a pointless exercise of futility and their efforts to win the White House will be stalled by the absolutely absurd comments they have laid forth to achieve this goal. That is why Hillary Clinton should kiss her run for the White House goodbye.

You thought I was gonna say Obama didn’t ya? Well you should know me better by now.

I am not put off by manufactured scandals, especially one as transparent and idiotic as the ‘Bitter’ Gate (even the name is bad) scandal, that I’m sure most Americans know NOTHING about. If you haven’t heard it’s quite ridiculous. Obama made the following comments at a Democratic fundraiser, which where “leaked” to the press somehow:

“It’s not surprising, then, they get bitter, they cling to guns or religion or antipathy to people who aren’t like them or anti-immigrant sentiment …

Presidential flop, George W. Bush, has made a series of decisions recently that essentially dump the Iraq problem on the next President, hyper-extend the American Military and leave the citizens of the U.S. with a debt their Grandchildren will be paying, all the while, he’s on a PR blitz to paint himself as a great “war President” who honors the military.

Recent outrages made by the President are a tell tale sign of his failure to find any success in Iraq. With his continued use of political moves that endanger the lives of our soldiers while portraying himself as a great fighter for soldier’s rights is nothing new, it’s just part of the Bush pattern. While he plays with headlines and press releases, he let’s the killing and violence continue, all the while trading away American interests for the sake of profit and greed at the hands of greedy contractors, making our supposed enemies like Iran stronger in a nation WE occupy! His absolute incompetence in diplomacy, his abuse of the American Armed Forces and his stubborn tin-ear on all matters in which he is obviously …

Today we recognize the loss of one of History’s greatest kings. He was not a rich and powerful lord nor a great noble aristocrat, and while he was one of the most devoted fighters of all time, he was no blood thirsty warrior.

Martin Luther King Jr., or MLK has become somewhat of a legend, a myth, a George Washington like figure, with a holiday named after him to boot. It’s easy to forget how truly great this man was. It’s also easy to forget that he was surrounded by a great wife and devoted followers. It’s easy to forget as well that he was not perfect, he made mistakes and despite our 20/20 hindsight, he was a man in jeopardy of losing the support of the very people he laid his life on the line for.

Society seems to forget how brave, how hard and how profound the struggle of MLK actually was. He wasn’t just one of many who stood up to the water cannons, attack dogs and police brutality, he was the symbol OF standing up to those same brutal tactics. …

Today’s quick linx is brought to you by our beloved El Presidente, George W. “stands for worst” Bush, who recently attended the opening day indoctrination of the Washington National’s new stadium. While Bush stepped out on to the field, he was treated to a mixed reaction heavily dominated by loud booing. The major media virtually shunned the story, treating it like a sports story, while Obama’s low bowling score was trumpeted as the end all definition of why Obama was not a REAL man (one guy even said Obama should “stick to shooting hoops”), Liberal media my ass!

Our nation’s love of sports and hatred of politicians collided this week in what can only be called a humorous, yet somber moment for the United States.

Wow, you know your not liked when your booed at the opening pitch. I mean, by the 7th inning, enough beer has flown through the stadium to turn a polite, church going dad into a longshoreman willing …
