And now for port security?

Ahhh - if you are a corporation this administration loves you,,,you are more dear than citizens - you are more dear than safety - you are more dear than security - you are the love of the shrub's life -

he kisses up anything with money - but it must be lots of money - he's a whore - and he has his sugar daddies for whom he would sell his soul - oops he already did that - well sell what's let of that addled drugged alcoholic brain...

Welcome to the new world

I waver between laughing about where our country is heading - and crying about where we are heading.

I laugh when I think about the reactions of the people who voted in the corporations who then get mad when they find out that they were duped. "Don't ask me for help - I told you so" is a plausible response. The United States of Haliburton/Exxon/Etc... is NOT here to help you... but you know what - we Liberals/Progressives etc. will always help you - even tho you called us commies, told us to leave the country and were downright rude to us. Why would we do this? Because in the long run we are the ones who care - we believe in helping - the corporations under this administration DO NOT CARE.

Sometimes we need to hit bottom before we can get back up - and maybe after a few more years of corporate greed at the expense of citizens will awaken the citizenry and they do something about it - like vote out the corporatists [aka fascists] !

Alito

Welcome Alito on the bench at the Supreme Court and say hello to a permanent corporate country and say goodbye to democracy.... Say hello to Alito and say goodbye to privacy. Say hello to Alito and say goodbye to what is left of checks and balances.

If the big corporations are now writing important legislation - just imagine what it can be like if they write all of it...under King Shrub and his court....

DO something! Don't let the bastards wear you down!

YELL: illegitimis nil carborundum

Happy New Year

A new year resolution: CUT UP YOUR CREDIT CARDS.

The only way to make a dent on the black heart that is the credit card industry is to stop using those cards! It's a shame but the bottom line is all that matters to them...caring? compassion? helping you? Forget it! You are a cash cow for them....

Have you received your new bills yet? The minimum due has risen.... also check the fine print for the new fees for lateness...

I understand that some card companies are delaying posting electronic payments and thus creating late fees!

Anytime legislation is written by the lobbyists - the public loses..and the "new" bankruptcy bill [aka the MBNA bill] is such legislation.

Ditto the Medicare part D [for dumb?] legislation. That was written by the insurance companies who now stand to rake in mega mega bucks. It's all part of the scare 'em and penalize 'em mentality that has been in place under King Shrub was annointed!

why the black template

Someone asked me why the black template... well years ago when I lived in Berkeley a building was erected in San Francisco and at the time I thought it was ugly.. It was the Trans America pyramid and in front was a "thing" probably described as sculpture...it was, I recall, black and immediaely dubbed "Banker's Heart."

Guess I have always associated that chunk of solid blackness as the heart of the banking and credit card industries and the years have done nothing to dissuade me we were wrong with our banker heart label - so when I started this site all these many decades later - that image came to mind and this site got the black template to commemorate the heart of a banker.
