You Didn't Get Mad
We had eight years of Bush and Cheney, Now you get mad!?
You didn't get mad when the Supreme Court stopped a legal recount and appointed a President.
You didn't get mad when Cheney allowed Energy company officials to dictate energy policy.
You didn't get mad when a covert CIA operative got outed.
You didn't get mad when the Patriot Act got passed.
You didn't get mad when we illegally invaded a country that posed no threat to us.
You didn't get mad when we spent over 600 billion(and counting) on said illegal war.
You didn't get mad when over 10 billion dollars just disappeared in Iraq.
You didn't get mad when you found out we were torturing people.
You didn't get mad when the government was illegally wiretapping Americans.
You didn't get mad when we didn't catch Bin Laden.
You didn't get mad when you saw the horrible conditions at Walter Reed.
You didn't get mad when we let a major US city, New Orleans, drown.
You didn't get mad when we gave a 900 billion tax break to the rich.
You didn't get mad when the deficit hit the trillion dollar mark.
You finally got mad when the government decided that people in America deserved the right to see a doctor if they are sick. Yes, illegal wars, lies, corruption, torture, stealing your tax dollars to make the rich richer, are all okay with you, but helping other Americans...oh hell no.
Finally tracked this down to the source; rosie.com. Altho, according to the Daily Kos it may not be original with Rosie.
I have one of my own: You didn't get mad when Diebold and his electronic voting machines fixed the election for Bush/Cheney in 2004!!

After Rep. Resigns In Sex Scandal, Georgia County Elects GOPer Who Had Affair With Mother-In-Law
I wonder why I haven't heard about this on the news. There was something on a blog about GA government(Capitol Impact) but nothing on the local evening news on the tube. I found this on TPM .
"Glenn Richardson, the family-values Republican who represented the county and was speaker of the house, stepped down after his ex-wife publicly accused him of having "a full-out affair" with a lobbyist while he was married.
So when Paulding County voters went to the polls for a special election Tuesday, they selected ... another family-values conservative who had admitted to an extramarital affair"
When Richardson resigned, the media just said he resigned. They didn't say whether he just resigned as Speaker of the House or if he resigned as a representative. After he resigned, I didn't hear anymore about him and nothing about his replacement.
"His campaign Web site touts his conservative, pro-family bona fides. "I believe Paulding County wants someone who will stand strong for the conservative principles we've always believed in ... lower taxes, limited government, personal responsibility, and valuing Life from the womb until natural death," he says.
But, as the writer Tom Crawford of Capitol Impact noted this week, Stout "has been compelled to address a personal incident from 10 years ago: he had an affair with his first wife's mother while his first wife was pregnant with their daughter. Stout and his first wife subsequently divorced"
"He also said the relationship with his mother-in-law "was stopped short of 'sex'"
How in the Hell can you have an adulterous affair that stopped short of 'Sex'????

Sometimes The Truth Is Funny
Luckovich in the AJC.Funny how Romney has spent the last year saying how terrible the HCR bill is when it pretty well mirrors the plan he supported and signed in Taxachuesetts. Of course no member of the Republic Party can say anything good about anything put forward by Democrats even if it was their idea in the first place.
Just heard a good line on one of the cable news channels this morning. "Libertarians are Republicans that are embarrassed to call themselves Republicans." This strikes me as being very true. If the Libertarians were true libertarians they wouldn't always line up on the Right. They would take some from column 1 and some from column 2 and get egg roll. Instead they are constantly in the Right hand column.

Sometimes You Wonder
There are times when someone will say something or post a comment somewhere or send you an e-mail and you wonder How In The Fuck Can I Be Related To That Person????? The latest one happened after HCR passed in Congress and someone posted some Tea Bagger bullshit.
I can't understand why anyone would want to stick with the status quo. Do they really want to stay with denying people coverage because they got sick or were born with a condition?? How about kicking people off their insurance when they need it most because they got sick??? Keep the drug donut hole for seniors so they have to decide what bills to pay or take their drugs???? Kick the kids off the parents plan when they turn 18????
Do they really think that by allowing the insurance companies free rein that then they will out of the goodness of their hearts keep premiums low???? How Fucking Stupid are they???? Just like death and taxes, another constant is that the premiums will rise. Left unchecked the insurance companies will gouge the hell out of us. While I don't think this is a good health care bill, it is a start to control the insurance companies and the costs.
For all those that claim we should let the private market take care of health care, they have been running it since FOREVER and haven't fixed it yet. Insurance companies are the Fucking Problem, so how are they going to fix it?????
