The economy's doing fine for the hedge-fund managers and oil-company CEOs... the bailed-out mortgage lenders and the Halliburton/KBR contractors.
Not so much if you're a solider, an auto worker, a teacher, a student entering a weak job market.
McCain - Four More Years!
Posted on August 29 at 1:35 p.m.
ATTENTION Obama supporters:
Time to put your money where you mouth is.
It's time to enlist new voters to come out for Obama. Between now and election day I will make several trips each week to help register new voters in Immokalee, East Naples, etc. I will rent a big tour bus on Nov. 4th and offer as many people rides as I can.
What will you do?
Our country needs us. Please do your part. To help me, or donate a few dollars:

This forum isn't a fair representation of the country at large.
Here we expect vehement Republicanism from the half-rich golfing condo-dwellers, the ill-educated denizens of Golden Gate Estates, the corporate fatties and the "small government" crazies who rail against everything -- except for their social security checks and Medicare...
Here we expect McCain to be supported.
But the Real World -- and one doesn't have to travel far north to find it -- has had enough. We won't tolerate any longer the cheap politics of fear and failure, the dark oppression of Bush and his party of the rich for the rich.
Oh Secular Liberal God, I pray to you that Barack Obama is elected. Listen not to the clueless haves of Naples, Fl.
When this thing is over, McCain and his new sidekick will long for the warmth of Alaska in February.

No one else wanted to be on the losing McCain ticket.

Anyone who continues to support Bush should be laughed at.
Anyone who thinks the Repugnicans deserve another four years in office should be castrated.
Anyone who makes less than 500K per year and votes Repugnican because of "social issues" and "security" should be killed.
Seriously, I want my country back.
I want Karl Rove's head on a stick.

We need to drill -- our heads. Our current lifestyles are not sustainable. We don't need more oil... we need to consume less of everything, including oil. It's not one's God given right to drive a Hummer. Gas should be somewhat expensive. People should limit their driving and drive the most efficient cars possible, except where otherwise impossible. For instance, if you haul horse dung for a living, by all means, keep the half-ton Chevy. I have no problem with this.
If our economy revolves around wasteful fossil fuel burning and sprawl and consuming copious quantities of unnecessary junk, we should get a new economy. The American lifestyle as it's currently envisioned has no future. No matter how much sweet crude is pumped from the Naples Beach Hotel's swimming pool, there will never be enough to keep every bumbledrunk redneck happy in his dreams of pumping $0.99/gallon into the 40-gallon tank of his F450 doolie.
Americans are the fattest people in the world, by far. There's your alternative energy solution. Get Mammy on the pedal generator with a gallon of water and a defibrillator at the ready. I bet you could light an office building for a month before Mammy's waist returned to human proportions -- somewhere in the neighborhood of 34-inches.
Generator weight loss. I'm doing it!

To those who elected the Bush brand...
Thanks for ruining our country. I hope your children suffer greatly in future decades. I have no doubt they will.
This man and his lieutenants should be garroted on national TV and erased from history like the species of animals that dare get in the way of "progress": More sprawl, highways, oil, fast food, mindless consumerism, idiotic American crappola that passes for culture, art, entertainment.
No greater monster has walked the earth under the guise of goodness and freedom. At least you knew upfront what Hitler and Stalin stood for.

Obama winning the baseball-going Lehigh vote is impressive. No kidding. I know these people. You can smell the unapologetic Bush support in their midst.
It's like this. When the Security Dad vote erodes before a gale of economic despair, even a half black man whose name is Hussein can defeat the party of George Bush, the party of fear, the party of financial enslavement for the shivering masses.
Five years ago these people were happy. Their sons were blowing up Iraqis in the name of Freedom and Justice for All, the gas bill was $28... their houses doubled in value every 48 hours. While they laughed at John Kerry for windsurfing, Bush got a pass on defiling the Bill of Rights and pushing through dubious trade deals to ship more jobs to Indochina. Creative cash-out refinances kept the entire economy awash in hallucinated consumer capital, and a lot of these profits ended up in future development deals guaranteed to make piles of money. Combined with the heightened Prozac quotent in the national bloodstream, which may have been responsible for the wishful thinking that home prices would never stop going up, the end of Republicanism came into view.
The housing market soon imploded, but this was at most a tolerable setback. The fleet of jet skis and 9-mpg SUVs required to haul them home to the intersection of Desoto and 34th Terr. SW was still cheap and mindlessly amusing. Coming home from terrorizing old folks on the waterways, a stop at Wal-Mart for corn-byproduct soda and the latest video-game release of ThugLife VI gave many hope that life without hardship or modest thought could go on forever. Tatoo parlors replaced real estate offices. Work From Home car magnets replaced rear-window flags.
Now the money for $600 cell phones and botox treatments and Nikes goes toward reset mortgage payments. Oil companies make record profits, while spinning it to be Sierra Club's fault.
Mainly the peeps just ain't havin' as much fun... And it's time for Change we can believe in, darn it!

We'll call the comment window on this page the "The Punching Bag," a place to unload...
For today, I have no immediate greviences, worries, or general misanthropy. Someone else will have to go.
This is all I have:
Wouldn't it be great if someone registered a user name with the word Eunuch in it? Maybe EunuchJim, or CaptEunuchMarco.

Please let me know when there will be a "Repugnican gathering."
I'm saving my dog poop and paper lunch sacks in preparation.
