DOUCHEBAG OF THE WEEK: JEAN QUAN AND HOWARD JORDAN

A no brainer this week. Let's see those runner ups.

1)Mother Nature- The reason for my column being delayed until today is I had no cable, internet or phone lines until late yesterday. However, unlike the three million other people in the Northeast, I did not lose power. Thank god. I love having electricity. Yet another disaster in my area in a long line of previous ones. Trees came down in my driveway and barely missed my car. Others in my neighborhood were not so lucky. Halloween has been postponed for the kiddies until Friday as power lines are still down all over the place. I have been unable to reach any of my friends in CT as they got the brunt on the storm. My town just missed it again. I certainly live in the luckiest town in New England as every disaster so far has missed my house, even though a tornado went right over it and the hurricanes and blizzards have done their fair share of damage, we have been blessed. This is of course leads to my next douchebag....

2)Climate change deniers- Can anyone with a straight face say that the weather these past few years haven't been out of whack with the norm? No you can't. On the heels of such denial comes a new study, commissioned by the oil companies and douchebags extraordinaire the Koch brothers, which we all knew would say that.......... global warming is real???? WTF? Yeah, suck on that deniers. Yes, Richard Muller started as a skeptic, but after two years of studying the data, he has concluded that the rise in temperatures is real and that the Earth has gotten 1.6 degrees warmer in sixty years, an astronomical sum and one not seen before in history, at least not in the time period allotted. Our climate is getting warmer, and while the reasons can still be debated, the fact is the Earth IS getting warmer. For any doubters still out there, there is satellite data from the past twenty years that shows a steady rise in world wide temperatures including the oceans. It's real. Nuff said.

3)Herman Cain- Cain was dealt what may be his death blow to his campaign after stories surfaced of him sexually harassing women when he was president of the National Restaurant Association. His lack of a response to the charges, which surfaced ten days ago, is especially damaging to woman voters who may be turned off by this latest gaffe. Plus, he's had more than a week to craft a reasonable response instead of just saying the charges against him are false and he has no further comment on it. As the woman were paid money to go away, his statements that the claims were false doesn't really hold water. Many in the GOP don't like the guy for his business friendly attitude and his support for things like The Fed and the rich. His numbers may fall as a result. As he has zero chance of beating Obama in a general election, many hope his fifteen minutes end soon.

4)The elites- I am so tired of hearing how bad the 1 percent has it. Peter Schiff, CEO of Euro Pacific Capital Inc., went down to Occupy Wall Street to berate the protesters as Marxist losers. Don't they understand how much he has suffered? Oh boo hoo. Wall Street has been raping us for years and the salaries for the these people he has employed have dropped steadily for years where we now make less than we would have in 1970 by as much as 14,000 dollars. And Bernie Madoff's wife took it to a whole new level as she says she and Bernie tried to kill themselves as the financial ruin they had begun unraveled. Next time take cyanide and lots of it. Losers.

5)The Police- Across the country, police have taken it upon themselves to disrupt, attack and arrest peaceful protesters nationwide. After Oakland's debacle (more on that later), police should very worried about what steps they take to ransack protests. Seattle, San Francisco, Denver and Atlanta have all been very heavy handed with their tactics. The military has sided with the protesters, a very important step. I would like to see sympathetic governors across the US to call the national guard to protect the protesters from any over zealous cops. Remember, if society fails, cops are going to be the first to get killed, as it happens in every other nation where these tactics are used. The military not only won't protect you, they may help. Stop being fascists and join the cause.

6)Jean Quan and Police Chief Howard Jordan- These two idiots who have barely been in office a year, or in Jordan's case, a few weeks, and already their political careers are in ruins. Many are asking both to step down and rightfully so. Quan tried to give a speech to the protesters but was loudly booed off the stage. Intern chief Jordan won't have his job much longer as any chance of him being installed permanently is gone along with his career. Quan is a goner in the next election and it's starting to seem unlikely she'll last that long. Their idiocy has energized the movement and gave us our first martyr Scott Olsen, currently in fair condition after being hit in the head with a tear gas canister, although so far he has been unable to speak. We wish him the best and a full recovery. God speed soldier. Sucks that you have to serve your country valiantly only to get hurt by the police during a peaceful protests. As a result, the military is pissed at the cops and a general strike has been called for Oakland. I urge anyone reading this in Oakland to avoid work or school next Wednesday to show solidarity. I would also like to call for country wide strike for the Monday before Thanksgiving. Only by standing together can we win and get our country back. Help make this a reality. So congratulation Jean Quan and Howard Jordan for officially starting the revolution. You are indeed douchebags of the week.
