I just read Paul Krugman's 4th of July column about the blankety-blank Senate going home for an undeserved, uncalled-for vacation over July 4 without extending unemployment benefits to our friends, relatives, and neighbors who have been unemployed for months in this *@!! idiot-generated Depression.
I'm trying to think of how I can express my OUTRAGE over these motherblankers and still have this post pass muster with the language nannies. As Krugman says, the members of the Senate have flown home (at our expense, natch--or maybe, fearing criticism for throwing our money around, they've presciently paid for it themselves this time out of their supergenerous salaries--but these also are at our expense) to go glad-handing at 4th of July picnics and parades among their constituents--many of whom seem as clueless and heartness and lost in space as their elected representatives.
Nobody, including our beloved administration, seems to have the cojones (alert--foreign language, possibly illegal alien vocabulary) to stand up and do the correct, compassionate, SENSIBLE thing and EXTEND THE UNEMPLOYMENT BENEFITS INDEFINITELY UNTIL THE CONGRESS CAN GET THEIR CRIPE TOGETHER AND CREATE JOBS THAT WILL SUPPORT FAMILIES AND GET US ALL BACK ON OUR FEET AGAIN!!!! Can't we start making sneakers and t-shirts and bicycles HERE IN THE USA again? Don't we have any empty factory buildings (or whole cities--Detroit??) waiting? Can't we trash-can that stupid war and put Blackwater and Cheney's little fiefdom, Halliburton, OUT OF THE BUSINESS OF SUCKING AWAY OUR NATIONAL TREASURE????
Alas, I fear the blanket-blank, good-for-nothing, pigs-at-the-trough who call themselves U.S. Senators, Republican or Democrat, will do nothing. What more can we expect? As I said, please pardon my French.
As somebody who is currently unemployed, I think that what they are doing really blows!
ReplyDeletehaha...blows or sucks...either way, that says it!!
ReplyDeleteNow you're talking sense.... trash-can that stupid war, the best idea yet.
ReplyDeleteI don't care what language you use, you said it right. It's inhumane and outrageous. Not to mention stupid !!!

Much as I despised him when the mothertrucker was in office, there are times now when I'd like to have LBJ back. He knew how to handle congresscritters, and often it was with a strong arm and a foul mouth.
ReplyDeleteBut it worked.
There are times when xtreme English is in order, and this is one of them. Or extreme French for that matter. Or Spanish or German. You said it, Babe!
ReplyDeletethanks, all...now pls contact your congress critters and tell them what you think!!
