DOUCHEBAG OF THE WEEK: JAPAN

The world burns, and Obama fiddles. Only one other group was worse. Let's see the runner ups.

1)Republicans- Determined to be the new fascist party, Ohio passed anti Union laws, Wisconsin continues to do the same and now Michigan has passed a law that gives the Governor unrestricted policies to implement martial law on financial situations such as breaking up unions, firing teachers and other Hitleresque policies that are Unamerican. This slide to letting big business run our lives has to stop and by not voting for these idiots is a good stop. If you know any Tea Partiers, at the very least, shun them from your lives. They are killing us.

2)TSA- Having had to deal with reports that these thugs are not making us safer, the TSA got multiple setbacks this week. As nine out of ten tests to get illegal items through the checkpoints are being reported as successful, can we please stop fondling Grandma and unleashing Japan levels of radiation across out bodies. New Hampshire and Texas are about to pass bills that will make it a felony to grope someone to get on a plane. As TEXAS is against this, you know something is off. Plus, a recent panel by the US Travel Association, a non partisan blue ribbon panel that examines travel patterns by US citizens every year, has concluded what we already knew. The TSA is strangling any economic recovery this country has of occurring. It said their policies were ineffective and was significantly reducing travel by plane. Car, train and bus travel have increased significantly while air travel has dropped perilously, something the airlines have noticed as their profits have dropped sharply this year. With higher fuel costs, they are going to have a rough year. It was estimated that the loss of air travel cost the country 85 billion dollars and 900,000 jobs. End the TSA. Airlines get their share of the blame by clogging checkpoints with their idiotic charge for the first bag polices. This should be made illegal for safety concerns alone. Fixing these problems will make people fly more and add much needed money and jobs to the badly dying hospitality services. This study does not take into the fact the foreign travel has dropped sharply as well due to the restrictive policies causing even more money lost.

3)Obama- I haven't seen a president this ineffective since Jimmy Carter, a fact repeated by Harvard historian Naill Ferguson. When you're being compared to one of the worst Presidents ever, you may want to think about changing your strategy. His taciturn approach to Japan, Libya, Bahrain, the TSA, radiation levels across the US and union busting has got to be the most detached I've ever seen a leader be. Word is he's worried about re-election and is trying not to rock the boat, letting Republicans hang themselves with anti-union bills nationwide killing their chances, but for God's sake, we are in real trouble here. The economy is failing, Japan's about to go Chernobyl and big business is trying to impliment neo-fascist policies nationwide. DO SOMETHING. I wait, I forgot he did pick his NCAA picks this week on ESPN. REALLY? Glad nothing important was happening. He is turning out to be a really bad president and one I won't be voting for in the next election regardless of who he's running against. And as Sarah Palin may be that person, let that sink in for a minute. I will not vote against Sarah Palin. His own party is fed up with him as Clinton has said she will not continue on next year as Secretary of State and may leave sooner as her displeasure in acting on crises has been disturbing at best. Bernie Saunders slammed the president this week for his leadership ability, or lack there of. He said his tax policy has been a disaster and calling him socialist is asinine. Way to go Bernie.

4)Japan- Never have I seen a government do a crappier job of giving info to its people. There is no radiation. Oh wait there is, but it's low. What it's not? But it's not lethal. IT is? It's fine trust me. The Japanese have had a high trust of their government but not anymore. The radiation is going to be a huge problem for decades to come with that whole area unlivable for the next 1000 years. Plus with uncertainty for the final outcome as scientists are giving conflicting reports no one knows what is going to occur. Worst case scenario, the plume spreads across Asia, depleting already fragile food sources and beginning a world wide famine. Horseman of the Apocalypse anyone? Way to go Japan you are douchebag of the week.
