Friday Pussy - Herding cats and other fun hobbies edition


(Don't google that unless you're planning on a career in gynecology)

As if life wasn't complicated enough we have bozos in congress trying to play chicken with our lives. Think we've seen two year olds with more smarts.  Where to begin?

Like a Mexican standoff both parties are standing firm on the budget debate. We can only hope that cooler heads prevail but haven't seen the iceman since grandma told me about him when she was alive.

Global warming (or is it climate change?) "might" be man-made. Ya think!? Wouldn't have anything to do with the fact that the planet went from 4 billion to 7 billion in just the last 30 years would it? And the wing nuts want more company as they make abortion and contraception nearly illegal. Scratch that nearly part. That'll do wonders for bottom line. They must have stock in baby formula and diaper companies.

Fear not there'll be more pressing problems coming fellow tree huggers. Let me see there's the swirling masses of garbage in both major oceans to think about and let us not forget it may soon turn radioactive in the Pacific if somebody can't figure out how to plug the leaking nuke plant in Fukushima. Yeah we're Fuked alright.

Ah but there are more pressing problems to consider like how can Miley Cyrus out do herself after swinging naked from a wrecking ball? Guess it's what you have to do when you have no talent. I'm no prude but what's next sex with sheep? Well baa ram ewe baby. 

You got to love the freedom of the net being able to comment as you please (the onion has nothing on this guy) but take heed the powers that be would love nothing better than to shut you up. Net Neutrality and all, yeah right. Very quietly and in the background they are shutting down the beginnings of a new media. People sick of the lame stream media are taking up the cause of getting out the truth and it looks like we're getting under their skin. I don't speak of some tin foil hat blogger sitting in his basement cooking up the latest disjointed conspiracy theory, we're talking about educated average folks who know they're being played by corporate media when they flip on the six o'clock news.

Don't forget to take a solar umbrella I hear the sun is shooting it's load these days. Nothing to fear here as it's been overcast for much of the week. I'd consider fishing but I don't know how much a geiger counter costs. A soon to be necessity around here. Maybe that will turn out in the long run to be a good thing. Get your omega 3s and cure cancer at the same time, who knows?

Lastly we have consumers buying crap again or so they say. I don't buy it (pun intended). I've only seen a couple of new cars on the road of late while those in the neighborhood sit and rust. Banks must be doing well. The one down the street just installed four mega flat screen advertising monitors right after they laid off nearly all the tellers. Hope they provided those that remained with lead underwear because these things are huge.

On that note we have bank fails later...
UPDATE: No bank fails this week so keep shopping.

Use of the phrase, " lame stream media" only tends to lend legitimacy to that moose killing rogue clown quitter governor grifter from Alaska.

But no doubt the major traditional news sources have much to answer for as far as having become mere shills for the corporatestate.
