Dragyn's Breath: 05/01/2015

'Five questions were asked, and those who watch Fox News exclusively got
1.04 correct, on average. Individuals watching MSNBC, on the other hand,
got 1.26. NPR listeners? They got an impressive 1.51. The Daily Show?
Surely a “fake news” program couldn’t make you more informed than “the
most watched cable news channel in America.” '

<sigh> I hate it when our side cheats. Well, actually, I only hate
when our side gets caught. :) That said, either we're more honest or
more clever and twisted than the conservatives, since every other study
they drag out turns out to be fake or flawed. This is the first one of
ours in recent memory (actually, in any memory, but I AM getting old!)
that had to be walked back. I'm sure there are others, but they don't
spring to mind.

$5.6billion is what? Maybe a week's worth of profits? We need to amend
the legal system so that the fine is dependent on the net worth and/or
income (actual income, not taxable!) of the offender. And some crimes
should be hit with penalties that wipe out the company. If nothing else,
it will make shareholders, which these days are primarily other big
financial companies (mutual funds, ETFs, hedge funds, etc) behave more
actively in overseeeing their investments. There's way too much go along
to get along among boards and share holders and management. If the JD
can make that investment worthless, then they might slightly more
invested (npi) in seeing to that their EMPLOYESS (which is what
management is!!!!) don't break every fucking law in the books chasing
that one additional penny (or billions of pennies!!!) Wipe somebody out
and see the rest start to behave. It's what we do with normal citizens;
since, corporations are people too (thanks Supreme Court!) then we need
to treat them lick the repeat offending citizens that they are!

Well, that's easy to understand! The Iraq war wasn't started by Kenyan Muslim Socialist Homo-friendly Gun-hating.... ummm know... that word we can't say anymore, thanks to them damned libruls!

LOL The Star-Ledger answered my question of yesterday. They sum it up succinctly:

“For months, we have wondered how Gov. Chris Christie thinks he can win the presidency when New Jersey is in such rotten shape after his six years in office.

“Now we may have our answer: The man has lost touch with reality.”

Asked and answered.

Sometimes, my well-developed sense of schadenfreude worries me. Then I
realize I just have a deep appreciation of justice being delivered :)

Wow! This going to be a real setback in Idaho's quest to be named the
wackiest state. Guess they've realized they can't compete with Texas and
Florida :)

I guess the whole smaller government thing applies to the Feds dealing
with the states. States versus their components? Not so much. Or it
could just be that every Repug in Texas is a psychotc jerk, wholly owned
by the 'Awl Bidness'

Brilliantly written and gut-wrenching. No anger, just sadness reaching to the forlorn...

Wow! Props to the First Nations!

Just a reminder that if there's domestic terrorsim, it's almost all on the backs of the far right, wingnut Christers. Our side hasn't had any good terrorists since the ADA and their ilk broke up :)

The end times are coming. Oh, not because of Obama, but because of the
overheated fever-dreams of the whackjob Christers. They're going to
burst into flames soon and consume the earth as they burn. Hey, it makes
as much as sense as this piece of dreck, and is equally well sourced
(plucked from ass...)

No no no! Get your own lies straight, assholes. OBAMA is going to take our guns! Remember? You've been saying so every day since he announced his candidacy. You know what? I bet he waits til the Jade Dildo exercise takes over Texas and while everyone is looking over there, he'll sneak in and steal all our guns! Wait... what? Misdirection and sleight of hand are YOUR gig? Well, he'll think of something, I'm sure. So, northing for Hillary to do. Try yelling Benghazi as often and as loudly as Fox Noise will let you. Altho, honestly, even they've looked a little tired of that gambit.

She is a stupid cow, a member and tool of the 1%, and an enemy of the people. But, GOD, I love that photo! It should run with every article, post, or daydream about her til the election process spits her out (a week after the first primary?)

Another stellar week. We'll all need to drink ourselves blind this weekend to get the taste of this week out. Bottoms up!

I really think the best use of the Gasoline Tax money, what little there
is of it, would be to spray a large amount of gasoline on Paul Ryan and
his fellow travelers (and monetary backers) and explain to them that
there was enough money in the Match and Fire Extinquisher fund to pay
for these matches, but not enough to acquire extinquishers. Surely, if
they're just a little better at saving money and being efficient, they
can put those flames out themselves. Self-reliance and all that. Oh, and
since you're so opposed to government spending, no fire or ambulance
services will be available. We cool?
