The Best Piece of Work I Have Read In a Long Time... on Jobs and Jobs

You won't find this in the pollyana mainstream media. You sure as hell won't hear it on CNBC which is owned by GE. Because Obama's new jobs czar, Jeffrey Immelt of GE- absolutely loves China. And like every other greedy bastard in this country- he can't get enough slave labor here and he damn sure doesn't wanted to get priced out of those fat and juicy margins in China.

You will love the snip on Apple. I had no idea they built all of those Iphones in Asia. Or that they could do it here and still make a profit of 50%. I am going to have to rethink my fondness for Apple and for Steve Jobs.

At any rate, this is what you get when you have an inexperienced man as a President-one that presents a job killing piece of health care legislation at the precise moment when we need jobs the most. The law of unintended consequences is on display here.

Five stars to naked capitalism for this piece- the best I've read this year. http://www.nakedcapitalism.com/2011/01/john-bougearel-claims-the-job-market-will-boom-are-entirely-unsubstantiated.html

Hey Brian....Good exposé here. I've been watching Immelt and GE because of the Windmill business with the Chinese, too. I think Michelle Malkin would call him a Corruptocrat now that he is part of Obama's administration...which he already was as GE ownership of MSNBC showed us throughout the election cycle in 2008.

Pray for some uncorruptable leader to come forward....
Thanks for your work here!

The only way to kill the two party system is to do away with the 50%+1 rule.

That is what causes two parties. I propose replacing it with a 99% rule. Or perhaps a 1% rule.

Ultimately, I think any salvation will come from a grass roots third party. I dont see the tea party doing this...maybe. The two existing parties just flat out suck. A real defined platform...the libertarian one..will always let you know what a candidate will do. The rest of this mess is just rino/dino garbage.

It's Showtime Bitches!!- The Sunday Collage

 Today, they convicted Former President Trump today on 34 counts of make believe bullshit fabricated from a 17 year old tryst with a porn star.  At it's very worst, Donald Trump may have gotten a piece of ass on the side. He may have used campaign funds to give Ms. Daniels 130,000 to shut up about it. He may have (gasp) lied. Let's conjure up some perspective. Of all the whores in the Whitehouse, JFK was probably the worst. Kennedy was a well documented sex addict. The "Stormy" of his day was a film star named Marilyn Monroe. Men (and women) have been screwing around on their spouses since time began. Millions upon millions and probably billions. Clinton paid Paula Jones 7 times what Daniels received. Where was the big witch trial then? So men like to get laid. Unscrupulous women provide vaginas. There is nothing proprietary there. No news flash.  The US government spends 100's of billions of dollars a year on welfare, wars, shitty student and housing loans, bond

Was It Worth the Trouble, Mr. Trump?

 Several years ago, as Ann Coulter (2016) was being laughed at for predicting the Trump presidential win, I was reading a piece about why working-class America was supporting a billionaire. It was a nasty piece, a hit job, explaining that poor, working class Americans were a bunch of dupes enamored by wealth and fame. Deplorables, according to Hillary. It was also total bullshit.  Over the years after Hillary Clinton, perhaps one of the most highly effective criminals in America lost her bid to become President, I came to understand the widespread appeal of Donald Trump. It wasn't polished bullshit, it wasn't party support, experience, or a career of broken political promises. It was something else entirely. Something that I treasured.  To be sure, I was not a Trump supporter back then. I am a strict adherent to George Carlin's political views in that we keep electing these rich assholes and nothing changes. So I skipped the voting process in 2016 for that reason and also t

First, We Abandoned Virtue- The Sunday Collage

This post was first published in September, 2014. Sorry for the delay today. Late night, didn't get home until 2 a.m. A couple of weeks ago, I was reading some interesting stuff about societies and how they eventually crumble and implode. More than a few people have postulated that the first things to go wanting are values, morals, and integrity. This was first proposed by Socrates and then expanded on by Plato as they spoke of virtue as moral excellence. How are people supposed to understand the importance of virtue if your society doesn't teach it and your leaders don't possess it? Not only do we lack any type of "leadership by example" but when was the last time you actually heard anyone, anywhere, describe a President or a  Congressman as honest?  If all you ever see is this current day "dog eat dog mentality" from your leaders doesn't that become the standard? If you look outside politics, you see greedy corporate pirates such as the Koch B
