Since I began
this less than valuable attempt at documenting what I was thinking of at the
moment; along with those (mostly) political events that I deem worthy of praising
or condemning, I have not failed to post some bit of drivel to the project’s
records. Most of that material has been
opinion, some has been needless repetition, and the random bit of noteworthy commentary
may have found its way into the mix.
Since I began
the project in hopes of slowing mental degradation, choosing to weave words rather
than to work crossword puzzles, I can honestly relate that I seem to be
grasping for the proper word in conversation less frequently. That observation indicates the project may be
successful. I can only draw this
conclusion with respect to spoken conversations. While writing, it is simply a matter of
opening an on-line dictionary or thesaurus if I find myself flailing in some
mental cavern that refuses to let the proper words fly.
I have no
actual idea how many people read my post with any regularity, at some longer
intervals, or even by random accident.
If you do read my thoughts and pre-occupations, I thank you for your
kindness and perseverance. If you visit
my posts only infrequently, I applaud your good sense. If you’ve reached this post by random
accident, feel free to use it to frighten small children and local vermin that
may visit your doorstep seeking amusement, shelter, or food.
I’ve copied
and saved a large number of political cartoons that I uploaded as part of my
posts. Today I’m cleaning out many of
those files so that the ones I intend to use in the next five months will be
easier to find and use in future posts.
Due to the nature of the Win7 opsys, the project takes longer than I
would like.
There is a
bit of serious thought I’ll offer today.
Obama is being loudly criticized for stating that the private sector is
doing fine. He’s right despite the
protestations of the GOP/teavangelists. The
private sector – big oil, big medical insurance, big coal, big finance- are all
doing well. They’ve all reported record
earnings and profits over the last year.
To accept anything else as valid is to buy into the GOP lies
machine.
Small
businesses are doing less well because the control exercised by big finance and
off-shored corporations is designed to prevent such profits by small
businesses. And to be honest, most small
businesses are not ever going to show such massive profits.
The private
sector does not honestly include middle class people running local
businesses. It never will again. The new robber barons and their tamed and
paid for Congress are going to make certain of that.
They are, of
course, helped by their conditioned voter base, the flying monkey corps of the
teavangelists. It is easy to miss
factual reporting when it is drowned out at every opportunity by the mindless
baying of Faux News and the talk radio demagogues and their minions.
We need to
find a method to eliminate the teavangelist base from the voter base. If we don’t object to a bit of illegality,
Florida seems to have a system that is ramping up to remove all “those people.” Unfortunately, “those people”, voters who
might possibly vote against the GOP/teavangelist candidates, are being removed
from the voter roles without notice.
They will show up on Election Day to vote, only to be told that they
have been removed from the register of voters.
The
GOP/teavangelists are frantically trying to make it harder for citizens to
vote, claiming that there is rampant voter fraud. I find little evidence of genuine voter
fraud. What fraud exists in our system
is directly tied to GOP/teavangelists’ efforts.
However, they seem so much less worried about the wholesale fraud they
are committing by secretly disenfranchising hundreds of thousands of legal
voters.
