Felon Governor Scott, kissing up to Billionaire Koch Brothers.

Florida's felon Governor Rick Scott was secretly off to Vail, Colorado this past weekend to kiss the rings of Charles and David Koch. Mr. Scott, knows that by bowing and grovelling to these two men, his campaign coffers will be filled with riches beyond his wildest dream. What, you have never heard of the Koch Brothers! Let me fill you in. When I think of them my first thought is the 1983 movie, starring Dan Aykroyd and Eddie Murphy, Trading Places. In this movie the Duke Brothers, played by Ralph Bellamy and Don Ameche, have all the money they could ever want or need, so they now want to use their power and wealth to control people. The Koch brothers are just like the fictional Duke brothers in that since they have all the money they could ever use, they have now turned their money and power toward politics. Their number one priority is to keep President Obama from being re-elected. Their number 1-A priority is to buy off and influence our Congress and Senators. They do not stop at the federal level, they are very much involved at the state and local level. They use their money and help elect and then influence, again the politicians to keep everything, for Koch Industries, exactly the way, the brothers want. Koch Industries are involved in oil, asphalt, chemicals, natural gas, energy, commodities trading, plastics, ranching, paper and pulp, financial services and many other areas of industry. Their father started the company and they were fed with the the silver spoon. Over the years Koch Industries have been fined hundreds of millions of dollars for pollution and environmental destruction. They seem to feel this is just a cost of business. They pay fines in the millions, while they make billions of dollars in profit. They have exported crude petroleum to Canada without proper U.S. authorization. Twice they have been fined for stealing more oil from federal and Indian land without paying for it. This is just the tip of the iceberg, where Koch Industries are involved. I am sure that just like Scott the Koch brothers try and contend,  they were not aware of these violations.
    Now back to the secret meeting in Colorado. The Koch brothers invited Scott and Governors, John Kaisch of Ohio, Bob McDonnell of Virginia and Rick, "Secessionist" Perry from Texas. All Republicans and all governors that are or have been involved with stripping workers rights in their respective states. When reporters, looked at Scott's itinerary, it was blank. This was the first time since being elected Governor. Scott's office issued a statement saying, "All they had to do was ask". It was the weekend and none was available. How convenient. Now we know for sure, who owns Florida, Texas, Virginia and Ohio. The Koch Brothers. They have the best politicians money can buy. So as the meetings broke up and the various governors dispersed around the country, the four politicians, genuflected and kissed the rings of the most powerful men in the country, the Duke, oh sorry, I mean the Koch Brothers. Americans need to wake up, or some day the Koch's and people like them will own America and we will be left without a country.

Lies Politicians Tell Us. The Debt Limit.

Raising the debt limit will NOT increase our debt. The politicians want you to believe that if we raise the debt limit that is a green light to spend more money. The debt limit is what we have already spent. Think about it this way. You have a five hundred dollar limit on your credit card. Your wife wants to go out to dinner on your anniversary. This should be O.K., because you have five hundred dollars to spend and dinner should cost no more then one hundred dollars. Now the caveat. Your wife wants to buy a new outfit to wear for dinner. She finds the new dress, but realizes that she needs new shoes and a new purse. New pantyhose is needed. She goes to the Salon for a hair cut and style. By the time she is done getting ready for dinner, the card has reached four hundred and seventy five dollars. Now the new dilemma. You could suggest you go to dinner at McDonald's, but quickly realize that would carry a death sentence. You opt for the next thing which is call the bank and ask them to raise your limit to six hundred dollars. Technically you are spending a little more then you already have, but believe me when I say, once you have committed to dinner you have already spent that money. This is what raising the debt ceiling is comparable to. Increase the credit limit to cover the bills coming in. Let's continue. If the debt limit is not raised at the bank on your credit card, what does the bank do? They charge you a fee. They freeze your limit and refuse to increase it in the future. They raise the rate they are charging you in interest. This means that all of this combined costs you  more money. That is what would happen to American's credit. It would cost us more money in fees and interest, plus most if not all of our creditors, would stop buying our debt. We would be in an economic mess. FUBAR!!! My suggestion is this. If the Republicans want cuts in spending, let them start first with the elimination of the tax breaks for the big corporations and the wealthy. Level the playing field and then we can talk about Social Security, Medicaid Medicare and all of the other programs the Conservatives want to cut. I am tired of the politicians starting with the middle class programs and then never going back to the cuts for corporate welfare and subsidies for millionaires and billionaires. The lie is the politicians tell us, they want spending cuts before they will stop economic chaos. Stocks are dropping again. The bond market is ready to fall through the bottom. The time is now for the Republicans and the Tea Party to stop screwing with us and increase the debt limit for the spending we have already done. Then we can eliminate the tax breaks that would increase revenues. Then finally we can look at ways to preserve and shore up Social Security and the health programs for our citizens. Anything less will leave us F***ed Up Beyond All Recognition. FUBAR. Pass this on to all of the politicians and tell them to get busy working for us. We could suggest they read the book, "Economics For Dummies", to help them figure it out.

The End Of The American Dream?

What's Next? Will We Finally Find Jimmy Hoffa?

Running off at the keyboard. It took ten years and we got Osama bin Laden. Whitey Bulger eluded the F.B.I. for sixteen years. I expect to hear any day that we have found Jimmy Hoffa alive and well, walking the halls of Congress. Who would have thought he would have been living right under our noses. Eric Cantor, Republican from Virginia, took his ball and went home. The petulant, little Cantor, said we will not place tax increases on the table. Take everything from middle America, but he will not touch corporate welfare. What a dick! Speaking of Dicks how about all those jobs our felon Governor Scott brought back from Canada. Over the next ten years we can count on 105 new jobs in Florida. The best is former governor Charlie Crist had these few jobs wrapped up before Scott took office. While I am talking about Dicks let's not forget, Richard "Dick" Perry from Texas. I saw where the Texas legislature is finding a way around the federal mandate on incandescent bulbs. Those idiots believe that their right to choose which bulb they use, are more important then our rights to reduce carbon emissions. Their slogan is, " You can have my bulb, when you pry it from my cold, dead hands." With these fools they may be helping to kill everyone, so that there is no one else around to take the bulbs. Sarah Palin stopped her magical bus tour, around the historical sights in America. She was so disappointed to find out that George Washington did not use Interstate 95 when traveling from his home in Mount Vernon and had not actually build the Washington Monument. Poor Sarah, she's still trying to find a way to rewrite history to match her small mind. Finally, did you see where President Obama and John Boehner, beat Vice President Biden and Ohio Governor John Kaisch. I understand Boehner tried to throw the match, just to keep the President from getting a win. See the Republicans will stop at nothing to keep Obama from winning.

Republicans Have Their Heads Up Their Asses

Gee, is it really true that the Republicans disagree with the President? Obama announces he will begin pulling troops out of Afghanistan and immediately, the Republican party leaders, start to criticize. Lets see these wars are costing us billions of dollars a week. They have cost us almost one trillion dollars over the last decade and John Boehner says, he hopes the President listens to the generals on the ground! What an ass! Has you ever, and I do mean ever heard a general say he had enough troops! My take on the Republican stance is they want us to stay there for another ten to twelve years. John McCain calls everyone who does not support any war, an isolationist. McCain should resign from the Senate and star in a remake of, "Grumpy Old Men". Maybe he should go back to Arizona and help the fire fighters put out the blazes started by the illegal immigrants. Right now the Republican party is asking the American people to cut Social Security, Medicaid, Medicare, Education, Infrastructure rebuilding, High Speed rail system, upgrading of our electrical grid, new bridges, new roads, new schools, new hospitals and a myriad of things such as eating and receiving health care. The reason they want us to give up so much! They want to nation build every where but in America. To this I say, "NO FRIGGING WAY". The Republicans are concerned with one thing and one thing only. Make Barrack Obama a one term President. They have already said so. They will block any programs that might help the average American, and they are not concerned with the country. If America is destroyed so be it, as long as Obama is only there for one term. I believe this more with each passing day. They want the power returned to them. The wealthy, white male and they have to prove that a black man or a woman cannot be President of the United States. So to all of the average Americans. The middle class American. The different races in America. The women in America. This is my warning to all of you. They want to destroy everyone that is not exactly like them. If we do not get off of our butts and put an end to their scheme, we will all suffers for generations to come. They will destroy everything America stands for. We must stop them now.

The Real Reason America Is In Trouble! LAWYERS!

Do you know how to save a drowning Lawyer? Take your foot off his neck! This is an old joke, but I use it to illustrate what I have figured out to be the central issue in America. There are three branches of government and all three are controlled by attorneys. Think about it. Over the last several years the entire government has been under the dark cloud of lawyers. They make a lot of money in private practice. This gives them the funds to run for political office. Once they are elected they create the laws. The laws they make are not simple. They are long, confusing and sleep inducing. The kind of legalize that nobody but lawyers can understand. The really smart ones find a way to get elected President. Now they have two areas covered. Finally, look at the Supreme Court, this is a bunch of lifeless statues, that get to keep their jobs, until the coroner's office, comes by to pick them up. Some Justices, have actually died during court, but it took months before the others found out the were dead. Everyone just thought they were mulling over a decision. How can you spot a lawyer or politician walking down the street? He will have his hands in someone else's pockets! So as we look at the problem we face, it is important to understand the influence lawyers have had on our country. They have been mostly, older, white, wealthy males. This is the beginning of a mixture that will lead us in the direction, they want us to go. What does an attorney do in court? They persuade a jury to believe their position and find in favor of their clients. Compare this to Congress. They persuade the American people to believe their position in favor of their clients (the wealthy and corporations). Lawyers talk for hours and yet never go anywhere with the details of a case. Our leaders talk for hours and never accomplish anything for America. Lawyers take evidence and twist the facts so everyone believes they are telling the truth. Politicians take facts and turn them every way, except toward the truth. Lawyers are rewarded for lies. Politicians lie for a living. Bottom line lawyers and politicians are interchangeable. they never met a fact they cannot twist. They will use mis-direction. They are paid because of their ability to avoid the truth at all costs. Maybe we need to find a way to eliminate lawyers from our government. It would certainly make telling the truth easier. I now have to correct the first joke I told. Do you know how to save a lawyer from drowning? The correct answer is. No, nobody has ever been willing to try!   Do you know how to save a politician from drowning? No, nobody has ever been willing to try! See they are the same.
