DOUCHEBAG OF THE WEEK: STATE GOVERNMENTS

Surprisingly, this was a rather quite week for douchebags. Let's look at those runner ups.

1)Baby Doc Duvalier- Yes Haitian dictator Baby Doc has returned to Haiti for God knows what reason. Ousted in 86, he was a brutal tyrant who ruled with an iron fist using his personal police force the Ton Ton Macoute to execute his orders by gun or machete. Now he is back and some would like him to be back in power. Why, because anarchy can suck hard when you are the one being beat down all the time. Technically, Haiti isn't in anarchy, just a badly run, ultra corrupt regime that is no better than Duvalier, just less brutal. It is an unfortunate fact that some people cannot be ruled by any other means than direct force like Yugoslavia or Afghanistan have shown. Democracy only works with a well educated public. Look at what has happened with political discourse here and ask yourself are we better off with the numnuts that we have been electing with the help of the idiot public. It is exactly that reason I fear what will happen to this country should a popular demagogue gain power here. On a side note, V for Vendetta signs are appearing world wide. Join the crusade to end the fascist state we are self imposing on ourselves and put some posters up with a single red V in your neighborhood. I have.

2) Hawaiian governor Neil Abercrombie- After saying publicly that he would release Obama's birth certificate to end the moronic stories of him not being a US citizen, he has no backpedaled on doing just that. It's bad enough that we still have to tolerate these truly asinine statements but now this dork has added fuel to the fire and added more conspiracy theories to a truly fringe group. Turns out, he has no authority to change state law that disallows any attempt to release documents without approval by the person whose birth certificate they are going to release. Mind you, Obama should just allow the release of the damned ting and be done with it, but it really doesn't matter. He WAS born in the country. Nuff said.

3)MSM- Yes the Lame stream media, who for months have ridiculed people like myself who have written on this blog that the Stuxnet virus was almost certainly born in the US and Israel, have now come forward with the story that I was right all along. The NYT wrote this week that the virus that shut down the Iranian nuclear program was indeed from here and abroad. I am doubly excited because my prediction of an attack on Iran has also been held up, just not the military invasion I had predicted. To be honest, I had never thought about a cyber attack which makes much more sense in retrospect. So a big thumbs up to the US government for this attack and a big raspberry for the press who once again dropped the ball, something becoming a regular occurrence.

4)State governments- Reeling from years of misuse, state governments are trying some horrific ideas to balance their budgets. Arizona is attempting to rid 500,000 people, all poor, from their Medicare program. It is not expected to pass. Illinois is raising their income tax 75%, a move surefire to cause a mass exodus from the state. Look at Connecticut if you want to see what high taxes and low wages cause. Most people I know no longer live in the state because of a lack of jobs and the high price to exist there. Massachusetts and New Hampshire have proved to be far better. Expect pension funds to be targeted next as well as higher taxes and less services nation wide. So congratulations state governments, you are indeed douchebags of the week.
