The upshot? Buy Some Fucking Gold NOW!

Have you ever even been to Wisconsin?!

...and as far as the absent Democrats are concerned, collective bargaining is (literally) a human rights issue. There's no obligation for them to "follow orders" here and participate in a kangaroo procedure. Blow it out your ass, teabaggers.

Lawmaker condemns question about shooting Obama WASHINGTON – A Georgia Republican said Friday he didn't immediately condemn a constituent who asked about assassinating President Barack Obama because he was stunned by the question and didn't want to dignify it with a response. Rep. Paul Broun, a conservative who has harshly criticized the president, confirmed that at a town hall event in Oglethorpe County, Ga., on Tuesday a man asked, "Who's going to shoot Obama?" ...Broun, a doctor from Athens in his third congressional term, routinely calls Obama a socialist and said shortly after Obama's election in 2008 that he feared the president would establish a Gestapo-like security force to impose a Marxist dictatorship.

Milton Bradley just got traded to Libya for a jar of camel spit. Gadhafi's taking on the remainder of Milton's contract to have him put down the uprising.

The Mariners logo is a compass. They need a real fucking compass!

"I looked Milton Bradley in the eye. I found him to be very straightforward and trustworthy. We had a very good dialogue. I was able to get a sense of his soul; a man deeply committed to his ballclub and the best interests of his ballclub." --Wedgie Our new manager looks like Stacey Keach: the Cocaine Years. Maybe he really can light a fire in these rejects. If they don't have a winning record in April, he should light a fire in Jack Zurdrednick's bed...while he's in it. "Rejects". That'd be good, remember the Red Sox? "The Idiots" won the World Series. These M's can be "the Rejects". Mmmm, no I don't think that's going to fly. Aaardsmegma's back though, Seattle area hearing aid retailers are overjoyed. The new M's marketing slogan? "We've Got Cust!" Yeah, that's not so good.

“Law enforcement officers know the difference between right and wrong, and Governor Walker’s attempt to eliminate the collective voice of Wisconsin’s devoted public employees is wrong,” continued Palmer. “That is why we have stood with our fellow employees each day and why we will be sleeping among them tonight.”

In response to orders to remove protesters at 4pm today...

My prediction: 2011 Minor League Team of the Year!

News from Austerityland...

Say Union Yes! Yes, one can only imagine the paradise that Detroit might be today had unions never existed. Another Dhaka, Soweto, Matamoros, Manila even. Dare to dream.

The "Marxist" comment is funny too, given that most of what I've been doing here for the last 3 years is arguing for a stronger, more stable and productive form of capitalism. This is the thanks I get...

Many public sector unions have made concessions against their immediate material interest as evidenced in the links above. Advocacy for social justice and working class issues aside, I'm not sure having a large number of middle-class consumers has been considered an "incidental benefit" by American firms for the last 50 years or so. But hey, it'll sure be interesting to see what your brave new world looks like without them. Given the shit social and economic landscape your other ideas have given us, it should be pretty easy to retain workers (scared to death about their other prospects) in jobs and pay them very little indeed. Once those pesky unions are out of the way. Oh, and it goes without saying that your new found support for altruism and public services at the same time you're flogging self-interest is straining our suspension of disbelief even more than usual, don't you think?

Yeah, but Bush probably really is a Nazi. Big difference.

Obama's blowing it again...

You forgot to include that photoshopped image of Obama in a Mao suit that goes so well with where you're headed...

Fostering the conditions for future economic growth takes a backseat to "breaking something off in the ass" of the people that don't vote for you, don'tcha know?

I heard Scott Walker's building a Thunderdome. That's going to totally ROCK, brah!!

Actually governing might be kind of nice, you know. But hey, vengeance, scapegoating, and disaster politics have always worked for Republicans!

Great, another soldier in Kojak's Know-Nothing Barbarian Horde...

Heelllooo? Obnox, are you there?
