Job Tracker
Use this link to discover which companies in your area are sending American jobs overseas, laying off people and otherwise screwing us:
http://www.workingamerica.org/jobtracker/
I looked up my area and discovered both SBC and USAA are exporting jobs, along with a few mid-sized defense contractors. I think any company that derives even one penny from government contracts should be obligated by law to use only American workers.
Good God, the Bush administration is so bad it's caused a liberal like me to hold tight to conservative principles, like American Jobs for American People.

A 45-Day Delay
Swell.
BushCo has agreed to a 45-day breathing period before they sell control of several major ports in America to a company in Dubai.
Within that time period, the GOP legislature will pretend to vet the company, which basically means they will issue an official, in-depth pamphlet okaying them.
Watch: they'll be taking over our ports in 46 days.
Fuck Dubai, fuck their corporations and fuck the Dubaities.
Will the bullshit ever end?

Freedom Toast, Freedom Fries
When that idiot Bob Ney, a Congressman from Ohio, insisted the Congressional cafeteria start calling French fries and French toast, "freedom fries and freedom toast," we all laughed at his stupidity.
Now the lunatic fringe in the Middle East have started calling Danish pastry, "roses of the prophet Mohammed."
Lemme see if I have this straight-
They can't handle cartoons depicting Mohammed, yet they can name pastries after him?
And speaking of idiots, after George Bush has spent the last six years trying to scare the hell out of us by claiming Arab terrorists are out to kill us- and any Arab might be a terrorist, now he wants us to be all-inclusive and let them operate our ports?
Please.
In an e-mail discussion with my political nemesis Recycled Sip Clyde, he was flabbergasted that I was in favor of racial profiling at airports and other venues. He thought I had betrayed the liberals.
I say, hell yes I'm for racial profiling at airports.
Security agents don't need to be randomly shaking down little old Hispanic ladies at airports, they need to be strip searching guys with Middle Eastern passports and names like Akbar and Mohammed.
I don't care if they live in Cincinnati and sell carpeting for Sears, I am suspicious of all Middle Eastern types because Bush has spread his paranoia so successfully.
Does that mean I am anti Islamic?
Well, the terrorist division of Islam has given them all a bad name, and I don't see any big clumps of Muslim clerics publicly denouncing suicide bombers or calling for other Islamic extremists to knock it off, so I guess I am.
It's kind of like the way I feel about Christian fundamentalist extremists. I think they give the word Christian a bad connotation, and it causes me to wonder about any self-proclaimed Christian.
I'm not an atheist, but you sure as hell don't see them banding together and flying planes into buildings or bombing embassies or KFC franchises. Nor do you hear them bitching about abortion or gay rights.
Nope. As long as Islamic extremists are blowing shit up, I say keep all of them away from running our ports, and we should watch them like hawks when they are in our country as aliens holding green cards.
And as long as Christian extremists keep trying to control our bodies and souls, they are also suspicious provocateurs who need to be watched carefully.

What Gall...
DP World Company out of Dubai has offered to delay taking over the control of six major ports in the United States until Congress has a chance to sort things out.
I have a better idea.
DP World Company, how about you go fuck yourselves and forget about getting your terrorist hands on our already woefully unguarded ports?
Just because you and your terrorist buddies own Bush, it doesn't mean the rest of us trust you crazy bastards.
Jesus. Why can't America go one week without another major Bush administration scandal?
Even the Republicans are sick of this shit.

The Bottom Line For Drunken Dick:
An open letter
Dear Dick Cheney:
I believe you were drunk off your ass when you shot that old man in the face and heart.
Unless you can produce a field sobriety test and a police report taken immediately after the incident, I believe you had the whole sordid mess covered up, and that you refused to talk to the police until the next morning, after you had sobered up.
I believe you are a fucking liar, like most active drunks tend to be.
Get some help, you drunken old fart, and stop playing with guns when you're toasted.

DUI Dick
Often, when a drunk driver receives a DUI from the police, it's a wake-up call or a sign of finally hitting bottom with one's drinking.
When a driver receives his second DUI, it's a sign of hitting an ever lower bottom, and judges routinely sentence offenders to court-mandated Alcoholics Anonymous meetings.
Millions of alcoholics realize the extent of their problem when they receive their first DUI. It's tangible proof that their drinking has gone too far and has negatively affected their judgment.
As a member of Al-Anon who attends regular meetings at a club primarily for AA members, I know of dozens of men and women whom the courts have sent to AA after they received DUI's.
If Dick Cheney was telling the truth about having a beer at lunch before he shot his hunting buddy, then he is obviously still drinking after receiving not one but two DUI's.
We already know Bush had to swear off drinking in his 40's, when Laura issued him an ultimatum.
We also know he is not into any type of recovery program.
When a drunk simply stops drinking without delving into the reasons he drank to begin with, he is called a dry drunk, and his thinking is still warped and often delusional.
So what we have in the White House is a dry drunk at the helm, with an active drunk as his first mate.
If anyone wonders what life looks like with drunks in charge, look no further than the Bush administration.
With at least three DUI's between them, Bush and Dick are two very sick men who are dragging the rest of us down with them.
We Al-Anons are taught to leave the drunks to their own peril, and allow them the dignity to find their own rock bottom.
It's a little harder to do when the drunks in question are the most powerful duo in the world.
All the rest of us can do is pray.

"Don't Mess With Me, Girl."
I know as a good American I am supposed to hate Venezuela's President Hugo Chavez because he openly loathes our president and his policies.
But then, so do I.
It seems Chavez is a little peeved at BushCo for attempting to oust him back in 2002, so he's been pretty open in his contempt for the buttinski Bush crowd.
Recently, Condoleezza Rice curled her lip and described Venezuela as one of the "biggest problems" for the Western Hemisphere. Then she promised to develop regional alliances as part of an "inoculation" strategy to expose what the State Department calls anti-democratic behavior in Venezuela.
As a response, Chavez said to Condo in a recent address, "Don't mess with me, girl."
Then he referred to her as "Condolence Rice" and blew her a kiss.
Venezuela may indeed be another banana republic and Chavez may be a petty little dictator, but as the world's fifth largest exporter of oil, Condo was wrong to use her diplomatic power to be so damned undiplomatic.
America's petty little dictator Bush said he's a uniter, not a divider.
He also called a pro-pollution bill, "the clear skies initiative," a bad education bill, "no child left behind" and the war in Iraq as a "mission accomplished."
I've learned to believe the opposite of what Bush and his cronies say is true.
I think it's refreshing for the leader of another country to openly express disdain toward these crooked bastards and the snarling bitch we currently are having to tolerate.
To Hugo Chavez I say, "You go, boy."
