1)Republicans who voted against the bill for Sandy aid- Here they are:
Notice what is the same about all of them. They are all Republicans and they are all from places not connected with the disaster. Included in the above is resident douchebag, Paul Ryan, who if anyone tells me what a great guy he is, better run fast and far because someone is getting punched. John Boehner abstained (ass) while Eric Cantor voted yes, mostly as a spike against Boehner I am guessing. All said, considering the fuckwads from places like Mississippi, Alabama, Florida, and Louisiana had the huge balls to vote against this, full well knowing a natural disaster there is only a matter of when, can only be best described as out right lunacy. Anyone on this list voting against this bill needs to be out of Congress stat and any idiot defending this awful, awful precedent should just shoot themselves and be done with it. This kind of grandstanding is destroying people's lives, as I've seen first hand how the Jersey Shore looks right now and it is not pretty. The government and right wing Tea Baggers are holding this country hostage and it has to stop. People's lives are at risk and no one seems to care. A lot of people out there should be ashamed of themselves and. I'll bet dollars to doughnuts, that most of them call themselves "Christian." Pathetic.
2)Global Warming Deniers- I don't care what stat you trot out. I don't care that Alaska is hitting record cold. I don't care about the "Middle Ages temperature inversion". What I do care about is the hard science we are seeing from recognized experts in the field that say the temperatures in Antarctica and Greenland are doubling what they though they would be and that Arctic ice is disappearing at an alarming rate. This is not some gummed up piece of nonsense. It is real and the evidence is overwhelming at this point that we are reaching a tipping point and soon. Our sea levels are rising and I can see that as, where I live, our beaches are eroding at a fantastic rate. Our temperatures are getting warmer as for the last two years, we have seen a hike of 5 degrees per month over the usual here in the Northeast as well as most of the country as well. That is a frightening number, because if that continues like that, the world will be a very different place in as short as twenty years. Don't believe the nonsense coming from those who couldn't read a scientific study if it was written for a child. Most of anti-warming nonsense is bought and paid for by the oil and gas industries. Listen to the people who know what they are doing. Listen to those who are not in it for money or fame but those studying the problem because they want to understand it. Those that are like the above are painting a very bad picture of things to come.
3)Syria- You got to give it Bashir Assad, he is one giant douchebag. Assmunch gave a speech today blaming religious extremists for all the issues he is facing and the trouble is actually being caused by him just defending himself. Please. The funny part is he is not completely off base as Islamics do want to topple his regime but he brought it on himself from his dictatorship where people starved in the street while he lived high on the hog. Quit while you can dude because when you lose, and you will lose, you will die very badly. Aruba is nice this time of year. Take it while you still can.
4)The Flu- Yes it been another great year for the influenza where at least eighteen children have died. At least this one wasn't hyped up as the be all end all of flu, like the bird flu was a few years back. Back then, everyone was asking me if they thought they should worry considering what the press was saying. I told them it was nothing but media hype and I was right in the end. I've studied virology quite a bit over the years, knowing more than I would like about the 1918 flu, AIDS, smallpox and, hemorrhagic fever types. Incidentally the worst virus ever would be airborne Ebola, which does exist, but only found in monkeys so far. The book The Hot Zone is one of the scariest books EVER as in it, the human race came within one chromosome of 90% of all human life dead in one year. And it was a true story. Yikes. Eventually, there will be another flu virus that will kill upwards of 30% of all people infected. Luckily, this one is not it. Maybe next year. Maybe a decade. But it will come.
5)Huge Chavez's possible death- Chavez is hovering near death as I write this, sparking fears over what will happen after he is gone. Various political factions will vie for his seat and could lead to unrest if not handled correctly. Egypt, Tunisia and Libya are good examples of regime change leading to even greater instability. Here's hoping they handle themselves better.
6)Rape in India/Pakistan- Just in the last day, a nine year old girl was gang raped in Pakistan and in India a woman reportedly jumped from a moving train to avoid the same fate. What is wrong with these people? We are some of the sickest people on Earth, and even we don't gang rape nine year olds. This attitude that women are second class citizens in ANY nation has to stop and if we don't start standing up for basic human rights now, then the world might as well end tomorrow because we don't deserve to live.
7)The Journal News- This medium sized paper operating out of New York came up with a brilliant idea to out every gun owner in the region. The negative reaction was unbelievable including having to station armed guards outside the front door and a complaint filed with the police for vaguely threatening emails and letters. This is sure fire way to get some one killed. If crooks can find out who has a gun and who doesn't, who do you think they are going to rob?
8)The state of Connecticut- Yes the brain powers that run one of the most corrupt states in the country decided to introduce a bill into their legislature that will do exactly what the Journal News did and allow anyone to find out who is armed and who isn't. This will of course, have the exact opposite effect where EVERYONE is going to buy a gun, including people who should never be armed. Not everyone is mentally equipped to own a deadly weapon and a direct result of this is going to be more dead people, especially children as irresponsible owners leave their gun just about anywhere. Plus, if someone gets attacked by a criminal who says he used the info you provided to target said individual, you are now liable for all damages as many, many lawyers will point out. This is stupid times infinity and proves the old adage, "the road to hell is paved with good intentions." Obama released his ideas for new gun laws and I agree with every single one of them. He's not planning on banning guns (sorry Republicans), but wants to do common sense legislature like fixing the gun show loophole and preventing mental patients from getting a weapon. Fienstein's bill on the other hand? Yuck. Here's a letter from a marine about that bill:
I will not register my weapons should this bill be passed, as I do not believe it is the government's right to know what I own. Nor do I think it prudent to tell you what I own so that it may be taken from me by a group of people who enjoy armed protection yet decry me having the same a crime. You ma'am have overstepped a line that is not your domain. I am a Marine Corps Veteran of 8 years, and I will not have some woman who proclaims the evil of an inanimate object, yet carries one, tell me I may not have one.
I am not your subject. I am the man who keeps you free. I am not your servant. I am the person whom you serve. I am not your peasant. I am the flesh and blood of America.
I am the man who fought for my country. I am the man who learned. I am an American. You will not tell me that I must register my semi-automatic AR-15 because of the actions of some evil man.
I will not be disarmed to suit the fear that has been established by the media and your misinformation campaign against the American public.
We, the people, deserve better than you.
Luckily, that bill has no chance of passing however so gun owners relax. So congratulations CT, you are indeed douchebag of the week.
