1)Muslim Fundamentalists (Abdullah Ismail)- It was nearly as bad a week for religious nutjobs as it was for Mitt Romney. As the violent protests continue unabated across the Muslim world, some good news finally came out of all of this. Egypt is getting a hard look as to whether the US will continue supporting their camel addiction as their elected leader appears to be channeling Todd Akin on how not to run a country. Then comes word that Libya, in a triumphant moment that gives me real hope for the world, rose up and drove the religious nutbags out of Bengazi while voicing support for the US. That is how the rest of the Muslim world should be behaving as well. We barely tolerate assholes like Fred Phelps, but if he ever started getting violent and the government did nothing to stop it, an angry mob would dish out some good old fashioned street justice. The Libyan government is now talking about abolishing the militias responsible, so for the first time, we have real progress that will have lasting results on world peace. The coup de grace this week was Abdullah Ismail, a Pakistani douchebag who died after asphyxiating on the flag he just set on fire during a violent protest which now, some countries, are blaming the Jews for as well, because as we all know they were responsible for everything from the Hindenburg disaster to the stubbed toe I got last night. Let's hope more countries act like Libya and end this race for the end of the world due to religious fuckwads.
2)Medicare fraud- We all heard how electronic billing would stop Medicare waste. Turns out, not so much. Doctors can now cut and paste procedures they never did, inflating their salaries with much greater ease. Either we go to a flat rate for all doctors who don't get paid per procedure or establish a way to find out from patients what tests were actually done. Either way, this part of the bill, like much of Obamacare, needs tweaking. Unlike the GOP, I do not suggest getting rid of the whole thing, a view that is only supported by those who understand the bill the least. You know, the Tea Party.
3)David Silverstein and Lyudmila Shimonova- These two morons collected $1200 dollars a month while living in a multi-million dollar Seattle home with hundreds of thousands of dollars in jewelry, cars and electronics. After getting caught, they were sentenced to 18 months in prison. Good. I hope they get the full treatment while inside when people find out why they are in there.
4)Dick Morris- A traitor in every sense of the word, this political strategist helped elect Clinton twice, got fired for allowing a prostitute (who he liked to suck on her toes. EEEEEWWWWWW) to listen in on the President's conversations with him, then proceeded to turn to the GOP and write lots of nasty things about his former boss. What a dick. His latest column was, without a doubt, the dumbest thing I have ever read. I am not being factitious. It was so incredibly lacking in logic or reason that I am still having a hard time comprehending it. In his defense for why Romney is doing worse in the polls than it looks, Morris goes on to write that blacks, Hispanics and young people are overwhelmingly underrepresented in polling, which is very true. Most polls connect with older people who are mostly right leaning, even if they claim to be democrats.There are not a lot of elderly that have far left views. Then he goes to say that because polls show a lack of enthusiasm for Obama that the polling numbers skew democrat. WTF? They do not say that at all, schmuck. If the people you reach are all right leaning, then no, they won't be thrilled voting for Obama. However, if the core people you are NOT reaching are hard core supporters of Obama, the polls WON'T reflect it. Thus the polls are skewered against Democrats and not vice versa which is why Rasmussen has been very unreliable as of late as their numbers do not conform with any others. In statistical analysis, these polls are always eliminated in favor of ones that do not buck the trend. Go suck some more toes Morris and leave the math for people who can fucking add.
5)Voted ID laws- Most of the odious laws have been struck down by the courts as they were borderline racist and meant to lower votes that would have gone to the democratic party. However, here's a list of REPUBLICANS that have either been convicted or accused of voter fraud: Mitt Romney for voting in 2009 while not owning a home here until 2010. Indiana Sec. of State Charlie White who was tossed out of office for three counts of voting in districts he did not live. Newt Gingrich was removed from the Virginia ballot after it was discovered that thousands of names on his petition were not real, a fact he was aware of as reported by CNN. The Sacramento Republican party was noted for doing the same thing as Gingrich in one of their elections. Todd Akin and Dick Lugar were discovered to have voted in districts they did not live. James O'Keefe, the Republican doucehbag version of Michael Moore, committed voter fraud in NH to show it could happen, yet was not arrested despite howls of protests from democrats. Charlie Weber may have committed massive voter fraud in Maine in declaring Romney the winner with just 194 votes cast and counted. Plus, let us not forget that the 2000 and 2004 elections had evidence of voter tampering within the voting machines themselves, especially in Ohio where hundreds of thousands of dead or non-existent people voted for Bush, giving him the state in a squeaker. Several people went to jail over this in a highly unreported story. Note also that none of the voter ID laws would have stopped any of these morons from gaming the system.
6)Mitt Romney- Robocop released his tax returns (just 2011) this week and we can already see some tampering going on. Mitt failed to take over two millions dollars in deductions just so he could say he has always paid at least 13% of his income to taxes. I am willing to bet hard money that if we ever see his other returns, that number plunges into low single digits. The 47% comment is going to haunt him all the way to the end of the election and is STILL being talked about on the nightly news. Mitt must be praying for a comet to strike the Earth or Jesus to return to get people talking about something, anything else. Word is is that behind closed doors many are realizing that Mitt has little chance of winning and as a result John Boehner moved $3.2 million meant for Mitt into close house races. Mitt's finances are dwindling well behind Obama at this point which meant someone had to explain to Romney what "broke" means. Things look bad for Romney at this point as the polls in swing states are all moving in the democrats direction. Good.
7)Paul Ryan- He had as bad a week as his boss. First, he was booed off the stage at an AARP meeting in Florida, then came word that his taxes were off by a mere $60,000 dollars. Again. If this is the "truth teller" of the GOP, I never want to meet the least honest. Other than the delusional right, no one else seems to be supporting this jerk.
8)China- War drums have sounded as Japan and China flex muscles over who controls several hunks of worthless rocks in the South Pacific. After several Japanese nationals decided to protest the issue by having the gaul to set foot on these disputed territory, China went ballistic threatening economic and even nuclear Armageddon if the islands weren't returned. Many protesters were demanding money back from the US, an official apology from Japan over shit that happened sixty years ago and the return of islands that really don't matter that much. South Korea has also jumped on the bandwagon accusing Japan of reneging on promises made for restitution for WW2. Really? Can we all just get along all ready? The war ended some time ago. Let's move on and stop rehashing old issues. We have more pressing matters last I looked. The US has told China that any attack on Japan is an attack on US interests, re-affirming our age old defense pact that has kept Japan from having a military or nukes for decades. I still see little chance for military action but an economic tsunami could have the same effect if investors are scared off from China and China retaliates by selling off US or Japanese bonds in droves. This bears close watch. So congratulations China, you are indeed douchebag of the week.
