A unionized public employee, a teabagger and a CEO are sitting at a table. In the middle of the table there is a plate with a dozen cookies on it.
The CEO reaches across and takes 11 cookies, looks at the teabagger and points to the union guy. “You’d better look out for that guy — he wants a piece of your cookie.”
The teabagger looks at the union worker, knocks the last cookie to the floor, stomps on it and calls the union member a “fucking socialist.”
Dolphins. In the Gulf of Mexico. After the Horizon oil rupture.
GULFPORT (Mississippi) — The phenomenon of new born or stillborn baby dolphins washing ashore from the Gulf or the Mississippi Sound continued through the weekend and today.
The total in Mississippi and Alabama alone is 36 calves and eight adults or young adults, as of mid-day today.
The number is higher, if you include all four of the northern Gulf states effected by the BP oil spill. But researchers in Mississippi and Alabama that are concerned about the sharp spike in the number of dead newborns along the coasts of the two states before the birthing season for dolphins gets fully under way.
You just keep telling yourself that it’s all just hoax, as the narrow, towering lodgepole pines that populate the Pacific Northwest’s western forests may disappear in the coming decades due to climate change and attacking beetles.
Seven hundred thousand 
square miles across the Pacific Northwest, an area greater than the State of Washington, stand dead, dying and waiting to burn. A conflagration. Of ‘biblical’ proportion. And we are smack dab in the middle of it. Once burnt, they’re gone:
By Agence France-Presse The trees are tough and adaptable, particularly in areas prone to wildfires and bitter cold, but warmer, dryer seasons and pests are combining to kill off the trees in growing numbers, US and Canadian researchers say.
By the year 2020 the trees in the Pacific Northwest will have declined about eight percent, and then “continued climatic changes are expected to accelerate the species’ demise,” said the study in the journal Climatic Change.
“By 2080, it is projected to be almost absent from Oregon, Washington and Idaho,” it said.
You Have More Money Than Bank Of America Pays In Federal Taxes
In an interview with In These Times, Carl Gibson, the founder of US Uncut, which is organizing some of today’s UK-inspired massive demonstrations against tax dodgers, explains that while ordinary Americans are being asked to sacrifice, major corporations continue to use the rigged tax code to avoid paying any federal taxes at all. As he says, if you have “one dollar” in your wallet, you’re paying more than the “combined income tax liability of GE, ExxonMobil, Citibank, and the Bank of America“.
You want to solve the budget crisis? Simple, tax the tax dodgers.
Tax the Banks, tax the Churches, the Corporations, and the Politicians.
I don’t have a pot to piss in nor the window to throw it out – but I pay my taxes. The jew bankers and insurers, the churches, the corporations and politicians do not. They’re all thieves, liars and daughter-fuckers.
The better solution would be to burn them all. To the ground.
If you’re a Tea Bagger elected to the state government in Arizona you can drive drunk and beat up your girl-friend… without fear of prosecution.
You can even be appointed Governor.
“The best argument against democracy is a five–minute conversation with the average voter.” ~Winston Churchill (or your dumb-as-rocks Tea Bagger, as it is)
Jobs whacked under Greg Walden and the Tea Baggers “budget” plan.
Cops, fire-fighters/medics, teachers, food, drug and safety inspectors.
Unless the crisis is the Tea Baggers plan, and the media were egging them on.
