OBAMACARE CRATERING DEMOCRAT CHANCES FOR A WIN COME 2014 AS OBAMA DITHERS ON THE SIDELINES

People who know me often call me for advice on certain topics, particularly ones that involve legal or health insurance related question as I have a great deal of knowledge about both. Today, three such individuals called me today, all PISSED at Obama at what was going on with their health care. None of them are hard core Republicans or Democrats even, but average Joes who are now looking at Obama with sheer hatred. The vitriol from some of them, while understandable, may be the one thing to propel Republicans back into office, and then, the end of everything as their policies will by beyond dreadful. And unfortunately, the more Obama speaks, the faster he is digging his own grave.

Obama made the biggest political blunder of his career and this one is so bad he may sink the entire Democratic party with it. When he utterly failed to blame someone, ANYONE, for the unforgivable disaster that is Healthcare.gov, the public blamed him. To make matters worse, using plausible deniability for this has made him look more of out of touch than his predecessor, W. I have NEVER seen a president fumble so badly that he is starting to make Gerald Ford look dexterous. Who is advising him on this, Sarah Palin?

It may not matter at this point if the thing is up and running by the end of the month, as the political damage may be fatal next year. If it doesn't work by the end of the month, do not be surprised to see impeachment start to be touted about when our entire health care system unravels due to Obama's inability to fix anything at this point. If there was ever a time to actually get mad Mr. President, here's a novel idea, fire somebody.

According to one source, Health and Human Services was ultimately responsible for the spec's of the site, meaning that their late additions to the website, and idiotic decisions like making people sign up before price shopping, came from Kathleen Sebelius and her underlings. Guess who should be thrown to the wolves first? Then go after CGI Federal for not having anything done on time by suing them back to the stone age and cancelling all contracts with them, now and forever. But instead, Mr. President, you've calmly sat back and let everyone laser focus on you as the idiot in charge which is damaging everyone around you. How can you not see this? You can't be this stupid.

Democrats are panicking behind closed doors as recent polls show all the gains made after the moronic Tea Party shutdown have been erased, and the longer this goes on, the worse those polls are going to be. Some politicians stuck their necks out for this health care plan and they will pay for it in 2014 if something isn't done soon to fix everything. The House will stay red and the Senate will probably be lost as well. Nothing will get done at that point unless the GOP takes over a huge majority, which at this point is not so out of the question. While I doubt the Tea Party will have much in the way of gains, the Republican establishment may crush it instead and they are not much better.

So as long as Obama refuses to acknowledge that the website is a failure, his numbers will continue to plummet and will take the Senate right along with him. Man up and act like the fucking president already. The other options are much less palatable to everyone.

HOME SALES PLUNGE FOR BIGGEST DROP IN 40 YEARS. IS THE HOUSING MARKET TANKING AGAIN?

During the last housing crisis in 2007, I predicted almost to the day when prices were going to start dropping like a stone. It wasn't rocket science as the figures, which anyone with a brain had access to, showed a steep drop in sales as the Ponzi scheme the rich were using to artificially inflate the housing market came crashing down, like all Ponzi schemes do.

You see, the wealthy were buying houses, adding a few bells and whistles, then turning them around a few months later and asking lots more money for the property. As rich people don't have to worry about monetary costs, and bought APR loans that mattered little to them as they had no intention of holding on to the house for more than a few months, and many bought the property with no money down and ridiculously low interest rates. By this method, they spent little out of pocket for enormous gains. The only problem was, as prices and interest rates rose, they forced the average home buyer either out of the market or into much more risky loans, both of which had disastrous effects. When homes stopped selling, due to home owners no longer buying and the equity vultures tapping out as prices became too high, the whole shebang blew up in our faces and started the DOW on it's steep downward cascade. So far for those still blaming Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae, the real culprits were the banks in on the scam and the vulture capitalists who stripped the housing market clean in their lust for money.

Here the scary part: it's all happening again. Having learned nothing from our past mistakes, banks are making no money down loans for the rich which has caused a buy out of cheap properties in places like California, Nevada and, especially Detroit, where property can be bought for pennies on the dollar. The problem with all of this, is much like 2007, the smaller buyer, the guy who wants a house to actually live in, is declining rapidly. The reason being is that as interest rates rise as well as home prices, many are being priced out of the market again. Without actual home buyers, this is again a Ponzi scheme that will collapse once the market reaches a saturation point, which some stats is already happening.

The magic number for rates to start slowing is 5% which is now the national average. Yes, if you look hard enough you can find better, but good luck qualifying for any of those unless you have a boatload of money. Investors are seeing the rising interest rates as a sign to stop buying which all stats say is happening. September had the biggest drop in home sales in 40 years. Some idiots have blamed the shutdown, but as that didn't happen until October, that's not even a possibility.

The same factors that caused the last Depression (and is still going on minus the fixed numbers the government keeps telling us) are back and with a vengeance. Yes the stock market has recovered and unemployment is down to 7% but as we all know, neither of those is true. The unemployment rate conveniently leaves out nearly a hundred million people from it's roster and the stock market is only rising due to QE infinity. When those dollars stop, so goes the economy. You can't have a nation make slave wages for the most part and expect economic growth of any sort. Supply and demand does not work when no one has any money. And as health care costs continue to rise, and Obamacare appearing to be dead in the water thanks to rank incompetence and Obama's lack of a spine in standing up to the insurance or pharmaceutical industry, this is going to cause all health care costs to start spiraling out of control. The right must be thrilled because they could use this to win big now in 2014, something that never should have happened. Once again the democrats have found a new way to lose. Swell.

Even economists are looking at the numbers our government gives and laughs. Even if inflation is 2.5% (which it isn't), our growth rate has been half of that. In real numbers, every year, average Americans are losing ground and neither the democrats or Republicans have any solution to fix anything. The GOP is far worse as the solutions they have will destroy this country if implemented. A recent poll said that 80% of America doesn't want changes to Social Security or Medicare. So what have both the President and the Right wingers suggested? Cutting both programs. This is further proof that your representatives don't speak for you but big business. Welcome to fascists America. Enjoy as you voted for it.

One of two things is going to occur in the next year, hyperinflation or economic collapse. There are no other options with what our idiot politicians are proposing so danger lurks around the corner as the housing market is once again the canary in coal mine. As equity monsters are pulling back on the market, prices have started to fall again. Less than half of the new buyers are actual owners, the rest profiteers. Once you get over 30%, which we have sailed by, the market will eventually collapse. The good news is I don't think we have to worry about anything until next year.  But I\if the Republicans throw another fit in January and shut the government down again, all the King's horse and all the King's men won't be able to put Humpty Dumpty back together again.

DECREASING WAGES, SOARING POVERTY AND OTHER FACTS ABOUT THE ECONOMY THAT WILL MAKE YOUR HEAD SPIN.

Every day the nightly news, politicians and business leaders all tell us how great things are right now. Unemployment is down to around 7%, housing prices are rising and the stock market has reached record highs. None of that is true by the way, but much like Hitler said, repeat a lie long enough and people will eventually believe it. Unemployment has been hovering around 25% actually, housing prices are beginning to fall again as the market has once again been saturated to capacity and the stock market is only gaining ground through QE infinity and blatant market rigging on the derivatives' side. This whole house of cards is going to come crashing down sometime early next year, especially if the terrorists known as the Republican party decided to play kick the can with the economy again.

And yes the GOP are terrorists, plain and simple. They have done more damage to this country than anyone wearing a rag on their heads have. They have cost us trillions in lost revenue, have done zero to do anything to help anyone not making millions, and become so far right wing that my jokey moniker "the American Taliban," seems very accurate now. I keep reading about some extremist Catholics who hate the new pope as is he is a Jesuit more concerned with people's suffering than abortion or gay people, just like the Church should be. But these assholes are the WORST Christians and prove it on a daily basis. Dickless morons like Ted Cruz, Steve Rogers and brainless harpies like Sarah Palin and Michelle Bachmann seem to think that cutting food stamps for the poor is fine as that is exactly what Jesus would do in their deranged little minds. What part of the Bible did I miss when Jesus said, "Let the poor starve so the rich may eat." Must be in a later issue or something. So yes, if you are voting for Republicans at all anymore take a good long look in the mirror because you are no better than the Muslim schmucks blowing themselves up in some shopping mall somewhere. You are exactly the same. Enjoy.

Why do Republicans demand high pay for CEO's to "attract the best people," but are willing to pay slave wages for those at the bottom as if they don't matter? Nevermind the fact that this economic failure is doomed as the ultimate economic factor "supply and demand," will never work in this model. All roads lead to collapse and these fuckwads are barreling toward it. I keep hearing that the Median wage in this country is between $50,000-65,000 from various TV shows and news programs. I would love to know what data they got that from because the official data from the Social Security Office says it is half of that, a measly $27,519. As our wages plummet, the top, those making more than $5 million, rose 27% last year.

Our salaries are not disappearing because of anything more than rampant greed. And because we have been tricked into getting rid of unions, we have no bargaining power, and as more and more become "right to work" states, people are getting fired for the stupidest of reasons. Get sick in this country and you will lose your job. I can't tell you how many people I know that has happened to. So way to go Republicans, you are voting to decrease your pay, get fired for any reason and be thrown out into the street with no safety net. When you are cold, wet and lying in a ditch, you will seriously regret putting some right wing moron into office.

And because we are increasing our population, there are even less jobs to go around. Our economic model is failing and some of you out there are goosing it along. Wake up and realize many in government, on both sides of the aisle, want you dead.

Let look at last month jobs report for facts that are NOT been touted. We've all heard that around 200,000 jobs were created in October, which is still at least 50,000 higher than the estimate should given that small businesses are not being created the same as thirty years ago when the algorithm was first invented. Even so, a good number. However, what the reporters fall to tell you is at the same time 623,000 jobs were lost. Oops. So not only are we not creating enough jobs for people, were losing three time as many each month as well. As there gluts of people on the market, jobs can offer low wages as there is no incentive or reason to do otherwise, other than civic duty or survival of the corporation but no one sees the big picture anymore.

Almost a million people dropped out of the workforce last month, a number than is not included in the unemployment number thus rendering it meaningless. TV and print news do us all a great disservice by not using the more accurate 25% figure which is easily seen. Recent statistic show that only 63% of the public , or 200 million people, has a full time job which in no way could allow a 7% unemployment figure. The number is a lie and a big one at that as the chart below shows.

That means roughly 100 million people do not have a job in this country that pays a livable wage or anything at all. That is unacceptable.

Even worse, 40% of the people who do have a full time job make less than $20,000. Try living off $18,000 a year like I had to working for a thief of a boss who would steal commissions from his sales staff constantly with no recourse to fix it. I had a deal for a security system that would have netted me a lot of money. Instead I got the boot off the deal and it was given to an outside contractor instead. What a dick. He paid his people nothing while he made millions. After he cut our pay to even less than the crap we were getting, 90% of his sales staff quit in protest. It was the worst job I ever had.

This is par for the course in today's America where we are rapidly becoming slave labor with no power to do anything to change things. At least 50 million of us live in poverty and I would guess another 100 million live near poverty, like me and a lot of my friends. And much like my dick ex-boss, wages are going down, not up, while the top steals even more from us. 400 of the wealthiest individuals have as much wealth as the the bottom 50%. How is that sustainable? It isn't.

We are approaching an end game here and voting to put schmucks like Ted Cruz, Rick Snyder and Rick Scott into office is going to literally kill us all. STOP VOTING FOR THE GOP ALREADY. How dumb are you to vote for you and your children to be sentenced to neverending poverty? It's the exact plan the Republicans keep pushing and we know it doesn't work because we can see Europe imploding for doing exactly the same thing with disastrous results. The democrats are not great by any means but if we can get more people like Liz Warren or Bernie Saunders in there, maybe we can save this country before it is too late.

DOUCHEBAG OF THE WEEK:ROB FORD

I have never seen a meltdown like the one Rob Ford is having and we just suffered through Round 2 of Anthony Weiner and Mayor Bob "Mr Groper" Filner who had similar delusions of staying. Both were tame in comparison to Mayor Ford of Toronto, the fourth biggest city in North America, who had one public spectacle after another. All I could say was "WOW!" and "Thank God this freak is Canadian." Let's see those runner ups.

1)Rand Paul- The Tea Party favorite from Kentucky had a rough week. First he got caught plagiarising whole sections of the Gattica page on Wikipedia, which in and of itself, isn't that bad. It does demonstrate his staff is lazy and not the best speechwriters. But then it was found out that three whole pages from his book, again ghost written, were copied from another source. Then an article he wrote came under the same scrutiny. He was let go as a writer from the Washington Post and immediately went to work at Breitbart, which would be like me going from writing hard hitting news posts to reviewing episodes of My Little Pony. How bad is your staff that they would rather copy crap rather than just reword it? It's not that hard. But when you think the world is flat, like anyone who would work for Paul must think, plagiarism is their only option.

2)Blockbuster- It was announced today that Blockbuster is going under which is odd because I would have bet hard money they were gone years ago. Who still rents from Blockbuster? The good news is that anyone with overdue fees can breathe a sigh of relief and know that in the end, they won.

3)Jimmy Kimmel- In what can only be described as the last gasp for humanity, Jimmy Kimmel, for the second year in a row, decided it would be HILARIOUS to have parents film their kid's reaction when they told them they ate all their candy from Halloween. The children burst into tears as everyone laughs while I am horrified by the whole thing. I don't have kids. But if I did, I certainly wouldn't cause irreparable harm to their psyche by playing a sick joke like this. I suggest this as a prank on Jimmy Kimmel. Someone dressed as a cop should show up at his house, tell him his mother died by being gang raped by a biker gang and film his reaction. Trust me, it'll be funny.

4)KMart- Can somebody please stop stores from opening earlier and earlier? Especially as the poor people who have to work these crap jobs don't get extra pay half the time and get to spend no time with their families at all. Kmart decided it would be a great idea to open at 6 am Thankgiving MORNING. Who wants to shop that early as most of us are busy cooking dinner as turkeys take forever to be done and require constant attention to be yummy and not dry and disgusting? Anybody shopping at Kmart before 6 PM is a douchebag and deserves to have a crap dinner as a result.

5)Richie Incognito- This dickless bully from the Miami Dolphins was suspended indefinitely for harassment of a fellow team mate who quit this week as well from the constant attacks. Johnathan Martin went public with texts, emails and phone messages which used racial slurs, death threats and other forms of harassment. The worst part is is that Incognito has a violent history that many teams might have wanted to look closer at. But like always, the Dolphins take every loser in the game, having in the past recruited a mentally ill guy who went on a stabbing rampage and a long line of bad draft decisions like letting Drew Brees go and took Daunte Culpepper instead. Which of those is still playing? Incognito may still find life in another team, but after the Dolphins get rid of you, it's usually game over.

6)David Kyem- This brainpower from CCSU shut down the campus after he wore a ninja outfit days after Halloween, complete with plastic gun and sword. After he was ordered to stay away from campus, numnuts came back for some reason and was immediately arrested again. His father is a professor of geography at the school so you know he is quite proud. Stop parading around with fake weapons on any day that is NOT Halloween and risk getting shot. The fact this idiot was black makes it even more likely, he'll get filled full of holes one day if he continues with this brainless behavior. And get those barbs out of your face. Yuck.

7)Andy Lopez's family- This is the 13 year old, who much like the guy above, was walking around town with a very realistic looking AK-47 and plastic handgun when he was shot to death by the police. Regular readers know that I usually blame trigger happy cops, but not here. I saw the weapons the kid had and I would have shot him too if he turned the weapon toward me. The family is blaming the cops, demanding they be punished, which is odd because the parents are the ones would should be on trial for buying their kid a deadly looking toy. At best they could sue the toy company, but here the police are not in the wrong, something I have never written before. The worst part, is in the past when this has happened, the settlements are in the millions. How many psychotic parents might intentially buy their kids these kinds of toys for just such a payment? It's twisted but it happens all the time.

8)Ted Cruz and his dad- I hate Ted Cruz. He's a lying snake who uses religion as a weapon against any who disagrees with him. But after his father released a video of him going after gays and Obama, I understand now why he is the douchebag we see today. It's like finding out the background of a serial killer and realizing the torture the poor kid endured turned him evil. Same goes for Ted. Someone needs an intervention and explain to him that he's been abused by an evil man and needs to find the better god than this one he has been deceived into worshipping. It sure isn't the God from the Bible.

9)Obama- He really needs to get his act in gear and either fix the website or scrap it, because time is running out. Like always, his piss poor job at sales or negotiation have really hampered him and his "you can keep your insurance" line was a lie then and is a lie now. True, most will not lose their insurance, but even if 5% do, that's 15 million people which is not a small amount. Somebody has to be blamed and right now, that's you Mr. President. I recommend finding a scapegoat, like CGI Federal, and leave nothing but a smouldering hole where their company was. The only other option is to fall on the sword yourself which seems awfully stupid. Just saying.

10)Rob Ford- Looking like Chris Farley after a three day bender, Ford is in full meltdown status that is almost comical in nature at this point. SNL couldn't write sketches this funny about Mr. Redskin without copying whole passages from his press conferences, ala Rand Paul. I swear everytime I see this guy, he looks like he is ready to explode. How does a guy who looks this bad get elected anywhere? The best part came when he said not only would he not step down but would run for re-election next year. I almost choked on my Pop Tart when he said it and then laughed for the next 36 hours. That is some world class delusional thinking. And he's the Mayor of Toronto. So Canada appears to be no better than anywhere else in the world at picking the worst possible people to run the show making me feel better that the US is not alone in that department. It got even better when new footage arrived showing a tweeking, drunken Ford dancing about madly while screaming about killing someone. It made the footage of Marion Barry smoking crack look tame in comparison. So congrats Rob Ford you are indeed douchebag of the week.

IS KAMAL ASHNAWI THE RICHEST MAN ON EARTH OR AN ELABORATE HOAX?

The identity of this man has been subject to much discussion the past few years since he "came out" as the world's richest. For those not familiar with my previous article, I wondered if Ashnawi was the shadowy Wilfredo Saurin that had allegedly lent HSBC trillions in dollars during the economic crisis. The fact that such a transaction DID occur makes the FBI's statement that Saurin doesn't exist a little hard to swallow.

In true disinformation fashion, much has been made over the fact that Wilfredo Saurin does not exist and appears to be connected somewhat to Nigerian Internet scams involving a prince who needs your help in getting funds out his country. You know the drill. However, I have spent years researching the documents provided that say $15 trillion was indeed transferred into HSBC accounts and appear legitimate. Much the same has many claiming Ashnawi a fraud as well, but HSBC has never denied that the documents Ashnawi has provided are fake. And it isn't a little odd that the documents are BOTH from HSBC, a bank known for shady dealings and really bad investment decisions. Here's a link to his actual blog that contains all said HSBC documents and a bio of his life.

http://lordkamalashnawi.blogspot.com/

Now his past is definitely out there. Here is a brief history as told by Ashnawi himself. He was born in Tanjung Malim, Perak. He claims to be a direct descendant of the Emperors of China as well as a bloodline that traces to India, Java and Thailand. Much has been made about bloodlines on this site where it is rather odd that all the major players in politics all seem to be related in some distant, albeit somewhat incestuous, way. Even Barack Obama has some distant relatives that tie into Bush, Cheney and even Mitt Romney. It is possible that we are still being controlled by some ancient family that pulls the strings for all of us. A large enough family structure with immense wealth could effectively hide from scrutiny while simultaneously controlling all outside interests. In this country we call them Walmart.

Kamal was raised an ordinary life until the late 1980's when he found out what his background really was and that he was descended from royalty. He was then told about the immense wealth his family had access to which he rightfully thought was a bunch of hooey. When he demanded proof, they took him to Hong Kong to meet the keeper of the royal treasure and then to China to a cave where the wealth as stored. Here's where it get's weird.

They hiked four hours to the cave where they found an old couple guarding the cave who were, in his words, immortal. I'd be more suspicious of this claim if I hadn't heard other examples of people who may or may not be immortal. It is likely? God no. But it is possible and I cannot dismiss something out of hand without more proof. If he said they were vampires or something like that, I would be a lot less forgiving. But immortality is not impossible and just because we cannot do it today, doesn't mean a previous people didn't figure it out through some sort of magic or alchemy. But I admit it is way far fetched. Inside the cave, Kamal saw gold bars stacked like a pagoda, and billions in jade, diamonds and US dollars.

In 2009. Kamal met with Dr. Wong Eng Po, a royal physician from China. When Dr. Wong put his hands on him, he bowed immediately and said he was the re-incarnation of Emperor Nurhaci (1661-1626). He also has said that he would be the sole administrator for the wealth and would be crowned the king of Indonesia soon, which is odd as they were never a monarchy in the first place.

Now this would be considered the ravings of a madman if Kamal wasn't the CEO of a major oil company, Sierra Petroleum, which has trillions in assets. According to him, the only reason he came out as a trillionaire in the first place wasn't for the fame but because he needed to invest some of his vast wealth into the company after some investment problems caused a cash flow problem.

He also claims to have eight women servants who fly with him everywhere and service his every need which is not that much of a stretch for any rich person on Earth. Women will sleep with rich and powerful men, no matter who they are, not that Kamal Ashnawi is an ugly man by any stretch of the imagination.

Now if Kamal Ashnawi is reading this, which he might as he did send me a link to his blog and his HSBC papers, and you are indeed very, very rich, please feel free to donate to this site. I am very, very poor and could use any help I can get at this moment. Medical bills are piling up and, this goes for anyone out there as well who could donate, some extra money would really help. Getting sick in the US sucks. Staying healthy isn't much better.

So is he insane or telling the truth? I don't know. HSBC hasn't denied the bank statements Kamal has put forward which means we have no proof they are not what he says they are. And if they are fake, wouldn't HSBC deny them, which would be in their best interest? If they are true, silence would be the same as saying they are not fake. Yes, he has some outlandish stories but let me tell you from someone who has had some really messed up stories that no one would believe either, everything he says is not impossible. Unlikely, unbelievable, but not out of the realm of possibility.

By the way, if Kamal is looking for a good biographer, please contact me. I would love the job.

TED CRUZ'S FATHER, OBAMA, MAYOR ROB FORD AND OTHER GREAT MOMENTS IN HUMAN STUPIDITY

This column is rapidly shaping up like a prelude to my douchebag column this weekend. Has the world lost it's collective mind? Have we become so stupid a people that even the most common sense approaches to anything seem like climbing Mt. Everest? This week has seen a plethora of dumbness that would be better suited for five year olds rather than grown men. Many have suggested that women should be the only ones in Congress as they seem to be the only adults in the room. I am rapidly coming around to that same reasoning as both Obama and the Republicans seem to be competing in who can out stupid the other.

Let us start with Obama, who's poll numbers are entering into W territory as the Obamacare plan is unraveling before our eyes. The worst part about all of it is that Obama has to take some of the blame for the disaster that unfortunately contains his name. If something has your name on it, you might want to make damned sure it works perfectly. But like everything either corporations or government try lately, it always seems to blow up in the face of the American people.

I don't know if politicians are aware of this new magic material. It's called videotape. For the unaware, as this discovery has only been around a scant sixty years, this material allows anyone to look backward in time and see exactly what was or wasn't said. Both Obama and the Republicans act like this doesn't exist and are shocked. SHOCKED, when it comes back to bite them in the ass. How dumb do these people think we are?

Obama has been saying dozens of times, to dozens of reporters, since 2009 that anyone who liked their insurance plan can keep it. I've known for years that was a lie because, here in MA, half of all our plans disappeared, rates went up (and still are), but the quality of service did improve as did subsidies that actually made it cheaper for many of us to have insurance. I went from spending $300 of my own money out of pocket, to $80. The main issue I have had is that my premiums have risen from $7 to $80 within three years. That's a hefty increase and if it continues, will swamp the system and the ability of the poorest to pay for insurance without an increase in subsidies as well, straining tax dollars.

But the fact remains is that Obama was totally dishonest with the American people as at least one third of the country was going to lose their plans, and they knew that before hand. Mind you many will be better off, but someone making $50,000 a year, is going to get screwed. However, as 90% of this country makes less than the cutoff for subsidies, the people screaming about this rate raise are a vast minority compared to those who will be better off. I just wish Obama had sold this turkey better.

Now mind you, the Republicans get their fair share of the blame for all of this as they have been demonizing the project since it's inception. Nevermind the fact that the entire system is based on ideas from Mitt Romney and the Heritage Foundation, meaning that the only reason they don't like it is because President Blackie proposed it. It really doesn't get more racist that that. Fox News has gone on a full court press literally making stuff up about what Obamacare does and doesn't do to such an extent that Fox News should really be called the Nazi Propaganda Channel, which is ironic because that is where Fox News got it's start in Hitler's Germany. Almost nothing that Fox has said about Obamacare is correct and millions of gullible retards are parroting that misinformation like it was gospel.

The king of HOLY CRAP moments for the GOP came this week from Ted Cruz's father who went on some sort of Mel Gibsonesque rage against Obama, gay people and "commie socialists" which is akin to calling someone a white Hispanic. It doesn't exist. Caught on video for some unknown reason, Rafael Cruz went on a homophobic, racist rant that was truly despicable. Here is a piece of what this total douchebag had to say

“Communism or socialism, whatever you want to call it, what is happening in this country is not different than what happened in Cuba [...] It is about government control of your lives. You got to realize how Marxism, how socialism works [...] When you hear all these things about homosexual marriage, this has nothing to do with homosexual rights. Did you know that? The whole objective is the destruction of the traditional family! It has nothing to do with homosexuals. They could care less about homosexuals, they want to destroy the family.

You need to understand, it’s just like evolution. I’ve met so many Christians that tell me, ‘Well, evolution is a scientific fact.’ Baloney! I am a scientist, there is nothing scientific about evolution. But you know something? Karl Marx said it: ‘I can use the teachings of Darwin to promote communism.’ Why? Because communism — or call it socialism if you think communism is too hard a word — necessitates for government to be your god and for government to be your god they need to destroy the concept of God.”

That’s why communism and evolution go hand-in-hand. Evolution is one of the strongest tools of Marxism because if they can convince you that you came from a monkey, it’s much easier to convince you that God does not exist.

First off, socialism and Marxism are two completely different economic systems. Next time someone says either word, demand they define it. I will bet a million dollars they can't. So right away, we know this guy is retarded. He blames gay people for the destruction on the family which was actually accomplished by the rise of Feminism and the corporate world who saw this as a way to destroy the American way of life. Considering that two people cannot make a living that one used to make forty years ago, my theory is not that far off. I am not anti-woman. I am against an economic model that dumped a hundred million new workers into the workforce and not had any safeguards to protest against the rape corporations then did against the Middle class. As workers overwhelmed competition, salaries nosedived as they no longer had to compete for the best workers. People today are happy to make minimum wage for some reason. They shouldn't. But I digress.

He then goes off on some bizarre rant comparing the fact of evolution to Marxism and having the gaul to call himself a scientist. You sir are no scientist as you have no knowledge what even the most basic terms of science are. What a fool. If this is what Ted Cruz grew up, no wonder he's disturbed. Ted once said God talks to him. Someone shouldn't be in Congress but a padded cell. His father should join him.

Lastly, let us look at Rob Ford who is giving former San Diego Mayor Bob Filner a run for his money in the sleeze department. Rob Ford, the mayor of Toronto, has repeatedly denied there was a video of him smoking crack. That is until a few days ago when the police verified they had such a tape and he was forced to acknowledge that he had indeed smoked crack, most likely when he was blind drunk. That's just what the people of major metropolis wants: a crack addicted drunk who is so fat you have to wonder if he's smoking that crack correctly. At yesterday's press conference this fat bastard looked so beet red you'd have though he was going to explode. Instead of stepping down like most would, he not only pulled a Filner in saying he would stay but that he was going to run for re-election next year. WTF? The balls on this guy.

While the public wants him gone and a lot of his staff have quit in disgust, the Canadian province has no legal way to get rid of him. You may want to change that stat guys as this moron is going to drag the whole city under. His driver is under arrest for gang ties and police have said there is a second tape out there as well but haven't said what is on it. This is not going to end well for the people of Toronto.

That is only the tip of the ice berg for this week so look forward to my Sunday douchebag column which will include everyone above along with idiots like Miami Dolphins ex-player Incognito and the asshole who got arrested twice in two days on CCSU for causing a lockdown on campus for some truly idiotic behavior. If there is any good news in any of this, it is that at least some of you out there are far from this dumb. Thank God for that.

RANDOM SHOOTINGS IN THE DIGITAL ERA. WHEN WE CAN SEE THINGS IN REAL TIME, WHY DO THE FACTS NEVER ADD UP?

Before I go off on our terrible media coverage of anything resembling breaking news, I would like to congratulate the Boston Red Sox and the people of Boston who showed up this weekend for the Duck Boat Parade and did not behave like bi-polar, drunken monkeys. That's where I was this weekend, taking pictures and video which I will post on my Facebook page later today and I would like to comment on how well the police, fans and players all treated each other with respect and kindness. Only a handful of people were arrested for drunk and disorderly and, considering millions showed up to watch, that is saying something. So way to go Boston and thank you for not acting like total retards.

This week we saw one shooting that got national news at LAX and another that may or may not have been something, as an armed gunman was seen walking into a college dorm at my old alma mater, Central CT State University. News about what is going on is sparse at best. On the opposite end of the spectrum, we have Paul Ciancia (which coincidental spells CIA N CIA), the LAX shooter, for which no tidbit, no matter how wrong, has led the media to yet another full scale meltdown in reporting the truth. This is what we get now, no information at all, or information that is riddled with misleading or just plain wrong data. Why is our news media so bad?

With the CCSU case, cops took their sweet time getting there so I am led to believe that they knew there was no danger. The call to the police came in at noon, campus police showed up immediately and then waited an hour and a half for the Newington SWAT team to arrive. Video is out there of the cops leisurely entering a dorm, strongly suggesting that this whole thing was nothing. But as the cops are so tight lipped about the whole thing still, no one knows for sure. Meanwhile, panicked students are huddling in their rooms or classes, with no idea what the hell is going on. Nothing like spreading fear because the police lately seem to be refusing to co-operate with media outlets with any information.

A few weeks back in Andover. MA, a popular teacher was murdered by her 14 year old student. There is still no motive for the killing, even though the suspect has allegedly confessed, meaning the cops must know what has happened. How is it not in public good to release said information? This is not an isolated incident either as this kind of gag order seems to be spreading to all law enforcement for seem to think the 1st amendment is a suggestion and not a law. This lack of sharing with ANY information is not good for any society.

Now because of this, the media is relying on less than stellar contacts to get information that the police are refusing to share. This is leading to some of the worst reporting in the history of mankind. First off, eyewitness testimony is usually so bad, it must be ignored. Early reports of the gunman at LAX being an ex-TSA agent proved to be horribly wrong (sent by Fox and CBS) and there is still some question as to whether he was wearing camouflage, all black or a TSA outfit. How can we not even agree as to what the man was wearing for God's sake? Is that really vital to the prosecution of this guy? Because of this constant discrepancies, many scream CONSPIRACY at the top of their lungs while in reality the rest of us should be screaming THE MEDIA SUCKS.

I would also like to point out one startling difference in Ciancia from previous shooters: he's not someone who would have been committed in a heartbeat like the others. Yes he's definitely out there, but believing in the New World Order and seeing the TSA as a bunch of dickless douchebags is hardly a stretch. I write about that stuff all the time and I am not insane in any way. Did he take it too far? Absolutely. But is he wrong? Hardly. I have been waiting for this type of terrorist to show up for some time and I am stunned it took this long. Ciancia was an unemployed motorcycle mechanic which means our economy is garbage if you can't find work in that field. It's one of the processions I recommend to people because, at least around here, I see a lot of job opening for mechanics. But maybe that is changing as our economy is self destructing before our very eyes.

It is also telling that no one is calling this terrorism as the gunman was several shades lighter than what our government believes terrorist should be. Had this guy been black or Muslim, trust me, they would have written the word TERRORIST in big letters in the sky. As he's white, not so much apparently.

The point of all of this is out police don't want to give ANY information about anything anymore, the media is making stuff up to counter-act this ongoing press blackout, and the American people are losing faith in both. This is how civilizations end, something I learned at CCSU. The fact that my theory is playing out in real time there right now, is the ultimate irony.
