To the last drop by Clyde 8:30 AM Let's face facts, George W. Bush is mauling the country's fiscal titty like a pubescent 14 year old. But after 7 years of squeezing the milk laden breast like an overwrought farm boy, time is getting as short as the supply. This latest "emergency" supplemental for the occupation of Iraq is nothing more than a last ditch effort to squeeze out every penny he can for his corporate cronies. He has too get the money before the new year because if there is one truism about Republicans, it's that they become very fiscally conservative in election years. You see, if Blackwater, KBR and the rest of the war profiteers want to get paid, then he needs to get the money in the pipeline now, before the Republicans go on the campaign trail. Already congressional Republicans are going to be forced to traipse the countryside justifying their votes to keep Iraqis healthy while ignoring the jaundiced babies of the average "values voter." In the past, the Republicans had other issues that they could use to divide the American people enough to stay in power but you watch, next year when the campaign gets into full swing, you are going to see Republicans drawn towards fiscal responsibility like Larry Craig to the commode section of Home Depot. It's the only arrow they think they have left in the quiver. And if Bush wants to enrich any more of his friends he needs to do it now because chances are the next president will more than likely be a Democrat. And depending on which one it is, the monetary gravy train that corporate America now enjoys is probably going to dry up faster than a Georgian reservoir. Personally, I think Bush knows that we are on the cusp of another New Deal era and he wants to get as much as he can for his benefactors as fast as he can. With the specter of universal healthcare and alternative energies looming on the horizon, the future of two traditionally core Republican cash cow industries are in peril of jumping ship towards the Democrats in order to stay in business. Big Oil is already making the shift and becoming "energy" companies as opposed to the traditional moniker and there is no wonder why. Almost every military action over the last 40 years was fought over oil and the American people are getting tired of it. So, the only way they can remain viable is to move their business towards other means of production and they are going to need the Democrats to make the shift. Insurance companies on the other hand have a little more difficult row to hoe. They produce no commodity so they will need to find other means to make up the monetary shortfall that universal healthcare threatens. Either they will need to somehow be included in the plan, therefore they need the support of the Democrats. Or, they will need legislation passed making some new type of insurance mandatory, therefore they need the support of the Democrats. Either way, the Democrats are in control and corporate America knows it, even if Pelosi and Reid don't. (I said almost every military action, Panama was so George H. W. Bush could prove to the world he had a dick and Grenada was so Reagan could prove his dick still had the ability to get hard. After all, it was pre-Viagra.) Permalink :: 1 comments :: Post a Comment

Sounding Off by Clyde 7:27 AM In the past I have usually reserved my barbs for the Republicans but I cannot go any longer without slamming of few of our intrepid Democratic congress critters. What in the fuck were Nancy Pelosi and Adam Schiff thinking when they decided to push this Armenian Genocide Resolution? As if we do not have enough trouble with our allies because of the Chief Chimp in Charge, we have to tweak the nose of an ally who is and has been for decades just salivating over the idea of invading the Kurdish controls areas of Iraq! This is the height of irresponsibility, not for condemning genocide but for condemning a genocide that happened a hundred fucking years ago! What's next, recognizing the insincerity of the Spanish Inquisition or maybe denouncing imperialist intentions of the Mongolian Hordes? This is just fucking ignorant! First off, those who were affected by this atrocity, and it is an atrocity, have only slightly fewer wrinkles than Kay Bailey Hutchinson after a marathon hot tubbing at Tom Delay's house. Second, any man who took part in this crime is more concerned with remembering what it was like too have a dick that didn't leak like a dribble glass than any "non-binding" resolution coming from this congress. And lastly, what constituent base are they trying to appease, Eric Bogosian fans? It isn't like there is a large section of the population that considers Babakanoosh, soul food. According to the 2000 census, there are 385,488 Americans of Armenian descent in this country. Don't get me wrong, I have nothing against Armenians in any way, I'm sure they are wonderful people but come on, as a voting block they're not Cubans. Listen, this resolution has about as much of a positive effect as a tampon would in giving Ann-Dee Coulter a case of Toxic Shock. It only serves to piss off Turkey, you know, the country that has wanted to invade the Kurdish north almost as long a Darth Cheney. I've heard the argument that if we piss them off enough they will deny us rights to supply the occupation through their country. But does anyone believe that the "Decider Guy" will somehow come to the realization that we are stuck in a quagmire and begin pulling troops out? That argument makes about as much sense as asking Bill O'Reilly and Don Imus to debate race relations in front of the NAACP. Supposedly Pelosi is beginning to back off pushing this shit but she has yet to commit to it. Why? Is she afraid that it may appear that we are bending over for the Turks? The fact of the matter is that if this would never have come up, we would not be in the position of being bent over. It is one thing to get into a situation because of your actions and have to live with unexpected consequences but to go into it knowing those consequences is another thing altogether. Think of it this way, Larry Craig knew he was taking a chance went he went in search of some urine cake in Minneapolis but do you think he would have still done it had he known that he was going to bent over by Johnny Law? Okay, so I still made fun of Republicans, what can I say, I'm addicted! Permalink :: 1 comments :: Post a Comment
