Back From Vacation: A Weekly Roundup

Yes, I took some time off to unplug last week and went to a cabin in the woods with no electricity just to get away from the world for a few days. In that time, a lot happened.

Tim Pawlenty exited the presidential race after Captain Boring hit the snooze button one too many times and America overslept his campaign. In his place we get Rick Perry. Just what the world needed; a bible thumping, Texas governor cowboy hell bent on destroying what is left of the this country. If anyone is seriously thinking about voting for the idiot, go get some bleach and drink up because I've sat through this movie already and the ending sucked. Another term of Bush, which Obama has been kind enough to continue for inexplicable reasons (corporate hack, cough), will kill off that pesky middle class once and for all and then where we will be. Perry has created jobs in Texas, albeit low paying no health insurance ones, just the same ones he will sell across the country. Hope you all don't like living in houses and eating every day because that will be a thing of the past.

Michelle Bachman barely won in Iowa, basically by bribing people with a free Randy Travis concert. Ron Paul, a name only heard in MSM with the most derisive of tones, came a very close second, losing by less than one percent. As Jon Stewart said, as of late he's become the equivalent of a thirteenth floor of an office building. Ron Paul may be our only hope in the next election and should be the person any sane individual should vote for. Ignore the bulls$%t racist comments they keep harping on from some alleged email years ago that has been proven false again and again but the corporate media wants Perry/ Romney vs Obama in 2012 because they win either way.

Obama has been a sinking ship, with many of his own constituents saying they've had enough. The black caucuses are furious he's been ignoring the black community, which he has, and society for the black males of this country are terrifying. Unemployment rates for black men hover around 40%, mostly due to the fact that one in three have a criminal record and once that happens you have little to no chance of a good job.

As things get worse, people are starting to crumble. Riots worldwide are occurring, the latest in Sweden. SWEDEN! Cops are no longer seen as trusted public servants but stormtroopers and their death rate is skyrocketing upward. This last week, a Philly cop was shot when he unwisely refused to get off of private property and went to shoot the man's dogs. He got a shotgun for his troubles. If I was on his jury, it would be not guilty. Cops, unless they have a warrant, cannot be on your property if you ask them to leave. Try to shoot my dogs and see what happens.

On the flip side, a good cop in San Diego was shot sitting in in his car. He was according to all testimony a good man who minutes earlier had bought some cookies for a kid he didn't know. It's because of the douchebags like Sergeant Stupid in Philly that good ones like this get killed. Cops are becoming targets. They should really think about improving their image stat because I know a lot of people better armed than the entire force in some places. If they want to be stormtroopers they will be treated like ones.
