I'm shutting down!

Members of Congress will have no dilemma about the future of their own finances this week because the 27th Amendment to the Constitution specifically stipulates that the salaries of the House and Senate cannot change until a congressional election has come and gone.   Members of both chambers currently make $174,000.   I don't know about you, but I don't make anything near that!   Let's shutdown congressional pay too!

I think we all need to SHUTDOWN at midnight and see where that takes us!   Ted Cruz gets $174K!   You gotta be kidding me!

A dream of Congress in the future

From CBS's Bob Scheiffer.   Bob...what a great dream!   Transcript here.

Awesome Political Ad!

Carl Sciortino, Jr. is a Democratic member of the Massachusetts House of Representatives.   A graduate of Tufts University, Sciortino is one of seven openly LGBT members of the Massachusetts General Court.   The fact that he is openly gay...adds a really funny and human touch to this "coming out" ad!

Palin...Putin...Putin...Palin

Jesus Christ is about to return!

Obamacare...They just won't give up!

SARAHPAC: Bomb Obamacare!

You just can't make this sh*t up!

Mr. De Blasio - some demographics!

More interesting details at the New York Times.   He owes his son a big hug!

Four Little Girls...

Addie Mae Collins, 14; Denise McNair, 11; Carole Robertson, 14; and Cynthia Wesley; 14, were killed Sept. 15, 1963, in the attack that struck the packed church on a Sunday morning. Twenty-two others were injured.

At a memorial service for the girls, three days after the blast, Martin Luther King Jr., said, “These children — unoffending, innocent, and beautiful — were the victims of one of the most vicious and tragic crimes ever perpetrated against humanity.”

911: Never Forget

I will never forget!   I don't think any of us will.

F*ck War!

I couldn't agree more!

Syria...Assad, The Rebels and the US of A!

OK...Assad is gassing his people!

Meanwhile...the Syrian rebels are executing Syrian soldiers!

Dear President Obama,
You know I'm a really big fan of yours!   I love you...but I hate this!

• Is this an International crisis or a civil war?   Sounds like a civil war to me?
• Is Syria an enemy of the U.S?   An ENEMY?
• What threat is there to the United States?
• Why is this America's crusade/issue?
• Is Assad a wacko?   Absolutely!
• Where is NATO on this?   Or the U.N. or all the other coalitions on this?
• The Brits & the Germans said no thanks!
• What is a "strategic strike?"   Please define!
• What is the goal of such a strike?   Get rid of Assad?   Regime change (aka...Democracy)?   No thanks!
• How do we (America) plan to achieve that goal?
• How long will this "strategic strike" last?
• What is the end game AFTER this "strategic strike"?
• How much is it gonna cost?   I've got plenty of other ideas/suggestions on how we can use that money here in America!
• If Boehner, Cantor, McCain and the other Rethuglicans are for this...then I'm against it!   Aren't these the same clowns belly-aching about the deficit?   Like I said...how much is this gonna cost?

I've got an idea...

Help get the innocent refugees out of Syria!   Help (send money) to repatriate those refugees to other countries (ie. Jordan).   Give that approach a year and let all those who remain...kill each other!

This is somewhat similar to my original recommendation for Afghanistan!

Progressive? No! You Flo? Where she be at!

I can't stand this commercial.   Many find it funny.   I don't!   Why?   It conjures up a stereotype of what many in this country perceive to be "typical" black woman with the mannerisms, tone of her voice and much more.   If they had cast a white woman, would she have made the same entrance?   Would Michelle Obama, Oprah, Cecily Tyson and hundreds more black women...including all those I know and are close to me, deliver that message the same way?   No?   If they had cast a white woman, would she have made the same entrance?   No!   Hell no!

Here's another one that really ticks me off!
