The freedom to ditch deadweight morality.

Ron Paul’s former campaign manager, who had no health insurance while working for Ron Paul’s campaign, died for lack of treatment and in debt. I personally think Libertarians are stupid, stupid people. I know the kind of world this political philosophy would create and it’s completely amoral strong-eat-the-weak-crap. In a way it’s nice to know that Ron Paul, and his mentally challenged son Rand, are sociopaths so we can keep away from their kind of ilk. May the good Lord turn their ankles so we may know them by their limp!

FCC Commissioner explores the stupid side of ethics.

Now former FCC Commissioner Meredith Attwell Baker joins the NBC-Universal family as a lobbyist only months after approving Comcast merger. Someone, and I’m not saying who, was probably absent the day that ethics were taught. Is there a phobia for being afraid of acting with integrity and morality? There should be and I know just the person to name it after. I suppose we should be grateful that she waited months instead of hours to leave for her choice new questionably-gotten position.

There is a $3.50 charge for this stupid. Do you want to continue?

States are shortchanging the unemployed with hidden fees by issuing benefits on debit cards. I felt this one personally as California is issuing my EDD checks this way. It sucks, there are loads of hidden traps to fall into. Why on earth is it a good idea to hand hundreds of thousands of dollars to banks in float interest that they then use to invest in innovative new ways to charge us fees? Some politicians are getting new houses and nice cars in exchange for this. That’s right, I said it! They’re selling us out for campaign money and stuff. Bastards!

Too smart for their own good?

If you can’t get people from your own union to picket or protest something, you should at least hire union labor to do the picketing for you. You should also pay a living wage! I hate it when good organizations do things that go against their own interests. Perhaps if you have to hire scabs to protest for you then you have some more talking to do with your membership to convince them to give of their own time to support it.

Climate change? No problem! Sherwin Williams to the rescue!

In Peru the glaciers are disappearing. No matter who or what you blame for that Eduardo Gold is doing something about it, just not something particularly smart. He’s painting the mountain top white to make up for the melting snow. Good luck to you Mr. Gold.

Border Patrol Union rep. keeps the ‘smart’ from crossing the border.

Following the tragic shooting of a small child earlier in the Juarez side of the border a union representative for Border Patrol agents said that it was ok for agents to shoot kids if they throw rocks at them. This sinks to the level of racist stupidity in my book. Shoot children who throw rocks at them? When will it be ok for police to do that in U.S. cities? Hopefully never is the answer that I’m looking for.

Felony stupidity!

BP/ Coast Guard clampdown on journalists. I can’t decide which is a bigger moron thing to do, bar journalists or reading what the journalists themselves actually write. Don’t they realize that all they have to do is give the largest media institutions unfettered access and the problem will go away? Ever since journalism schools started merging PR with their classes and took the emphasis off of actual reporting what comes out of the fourth estate has been a joke. It’s really no wonder that they’ve done this because any editor with a pair of balls has been fired and replaced with owners or their flunkies. Everyone is self-censoring and bending over backwards in hopes of getting access. The job of journalist isn’t an easy one and it requires extraordinary people to do it. Too bad we don’t have many left. BP and the new rules put out by the Coast Guard is a bunch of crap, but it’s just one more turd in the punch bowl that is this whole spill fiasco. What we need is Spider Jerusalem to come in and use his bowel disruptor.

Great Bollocks University.

Glenn Beck starts his own college. As Lewis Black is fond of saying, that bears repeating.  Glenn Beck is starting his own college. That’s a lot of bananas and inner tubes to ‘educate’ the home-schooled youth with. Maybe they can get their text books from Texas?

Boehner pulls a boner.

Boehner says we can’t have War AND Social Security – So we need to ditch Social Security. I say we can’t have Boehner and smart people in congress so we must choose to ditch Boehner. That’s just me. He’s been saying a lot of idiotic stuff lately in his war of words with President Obama. Ditch Social Security? Does he want to return to the days of the elderly dying in abject poverty in the streets? I’m not exactly going on a limb here in saying that no one wants that. Except for Rep. Boehner that is. I wish there were qualification for being in Congress other than being wealthy. Just goes to show you that money can’t buy smarts.

Republicans aren’t all this stupid thank God!

Republicans object to bill for homeless veterans. The party of no says no to their own ideals. Not really a surprise. The Republican party is doing what they did to Clinton by obstructing everything, even stuff they pretend to care about. It’s like a secret language. When they say they care about the troops getting the very best what they really mean is that they need to secure more government money for their defense contractor buddies. When the GOP says that they’re for accountability they really mean for everyone but themselves. Certainly not for CEO’s or other wealthy individuals.
