Who would have thought Richard Nixon would become the second most liberal president in the history of America?

Get it? I made a dick joke using Anthony Weiner’s last name.

Goddammit it, I’m fucking pathetic. But not as pathetic as the Democrats inability to use reconciliation to give us a public option.

Go fuck yourself with a 13-inch rusted cattle prod:

Former Federal Reserve Chairman Alan Greenspan said on Tuesday the U.S. economic recovery was “extremely unbalanced,” driven largely by high earners benefiting from recovering stock markets and large corporations.

Small businesses and the jobless are still suffering from the aftermath of a credit crunch that was “by far the greatest financial crisis, globally, ever” — including the 1930s Great Depression, said Greenspan in an address to a Credit Union National Association conference.

How is this old, crusty cunt not in jail? He’s robbed millions of people of homes, jobs, and pensions by deregulating and slashing interest rates during his 19-year stint as head of the Fed. Oh, that’s right. He’s not in jail because he’s a rich, white man who helped those corporations he’s bad-mouthing make billions of dollars.

If Joseph Andrew Stack really wanted to shake up the system he would have crashed his plane into Alan Greenspan’s home. Of course, that would have taken some planning, and we all know people on the left can’t plan things for shit.

If you said Afghanistan then you deserve to be raped in the mouth by an AIDS-infected silverback gorilla:

Eight years after a U.S.-led invasion of Afghanistan, the country ranks as the worst place to be born, according to a United Nations report.

The United Nation’s Children’s Fund, better known as UNICEF, says Afghanistan has the highest infant mortality rate in the world with 257 deaths per 1,000 live births, and 70 percent of Afghans have access to clean water.

I now know the real reason why we invaded Afghanistan. It wasn’t because of terrorists, or to build the biggest military base in the world, or to see how many civilians we can kill, or to see how many billions of dollars we could waste, or to see how many war lords we could put in power, or to see how much heroin could be trafficked, or to see how many soldiers come home with post-traumatic stress disorder.

No.

The real reason we invaded Afghanistan was to encourage more people in Sierra Leone to have kids since they’re no long the worst place in the world to be born. Because those blood diamonds aren’t going to mine themselves. Isn’t that right, major U.S and International retailers?

One bomb at a time:

At least 27 civilians died in a Nato air strike in southern Afghanistan, the Afghan cabinet says, revising downwards a prior statement that 33 were killed.

Nato said it hit a suspected insurgent convoy, but ground forces later found “a number of individuals killed and wounded”, including women and children.

I’m amazed at the lack of terrorist attacks we’ve had because of these bombings. I mean, I would strap myself down with enough explosives to give Michael Bay a permanent hard-on and blow up a Walmart on Sunday afternoon if someone I loved was one of the 27 people killed in this bombing, or one of the 140 people killed in the September 2009 bombing, or one of the 97 people killed in the May 2009 bombing, or one of the 90 people killed in the August 2008 bombing, or one of the 47 people killed in the July 2008 bombing.

But that’s just me.

AUSTIN, Texas – A software engineer furious with the Internal Revenue Service launched a suicide attack on the agency Thursday by crashing his small plane into an office building containing nearly 200 IRS employees, setting off a raging fire that sent workers running for their lives.

I say we invade Texas like we invaded Iraq. We give governor Rick Perry until Monday 4pm est to turn himself in. If he doesn’t then we shock and awe the fuck out of Austin by dropping so many bombs on the city that the city of Dresden becomes thankful Obama was president during WWII.

Thanks George:

The incomes of the top 400 American households soared to a new record high in dollars and as a share of all income in 2007, while the income tax rates they paid fell to a record low, newly disclosed tax data show.

In 2007 the top 400 taxpayers had an average income of $344.8 million, up 31 percent from their average $263.3 million income in 2006, according to figures in a report that the IRS posted to its Web site without announcement that were discovered February 16.

[...]

Adjusted for inflation to 2009 dollars, the top 400 enjoyed a 27 percent increase in their income, or nine times the rate of increase for the bottom 90 percent, based on an earlier analysis of tax data published by Profs. Emmanuel Saez and Thomas Piketty, economists at the University of California at Berkeley who have been studying global income trends.

Since 1992, the bottom 90 percent of Americans have seen their incomes rise by 13 percent in 2009 dollars, compared with an increase of 399 percent for the top 400.

[...]

The annual top 400 report was first made public by the Clinton administration, but the George W. Bush administration shut down access to the report. Its release was resumed a year ago when President Obama took office. The Statistics of Income Division at the IRS created the top 400 reports at the urging of Joel Slemrod, a business professor at the University of Michigan.

I love how Americans get pissed off about having no jobs and no money, so they vote for Republicans who pass laws that makes it easier for corporations to send jobs overseas; which allows CEOs to make more money that isn’t going to be taxed because Republicans have slashed their tax rates.
