Horse’s Ass
Greetings and salutations from the sand, sun and surf of Cape Cod, Martha’s Vineyard and the great island of Nantucket! Great to be with you on this fine Tuesday morning here in Osterville, the little seaside village off the beaten path five miles, as the Osprey flies, from Hyannisport, home to the late, great Jack Kennedy, his wife Jackie and all of the other members of a family you would be proud to come to understand, as provided by countless books on Kennedy clan, and how they too, made a huge difference in the lives of ordinary men and women, children and wildlife, that make up this beautiful country that we ALL share… Listening to Mark Kirk, newly elected Senator from Illinois?, no, that can’t be right, it must be Indiana, no, well, who cares really, listening to that clown yesterday on MSNBC’s “Morning Joe”, with Joe and Mika Scarborough?, just kidding, again yesterday, when one of my favorite contributors to that show, Mike Barnacle, formerly from the Boston Globe and now, still one of the best columnists in the United States, working for the Boston Herald, asked a very well thought out and simple question, “how can you justify all of the BUSH era programs that were implemented without, as you all cry incessantly, “being paid for”, such as the BUSH tax cuts of 2001 and 2003, Medicare part D, you know, that big pharma subsidy, and two wars that were not funded at ALL, how can you NOW say, “we are for extending unemployment benefits to 2 million real American people, IF they are paid for.” How can you say that with a straight face? Sorry for the paraphrasing there Mike, and p.s., Merry Christmas from the Cape and Islands and to all at “Morning Joe”! The dear in the headlights vacant stare of Kirk, Captain Kirk if you please, only accents his robotic, and I will say more about that in a minute, answer, as he dodges the question all together, throwing out the new fear mongering talking point #501… “We may have a double dip recession if we don’t pass a tax cut for the extremely rich who have seen their income go up by 278 percent since 1982 when this whole thing started, ooopps, was that out loud?… what I meant to say was that if we don’t give a tax break to all of these poor folks who have been “uncertain”, you know that group of people that you may know who are concerned whether or not they can purchase a new house in Maui, oh, my gosh, I did it again, I am having some kind of a melt down here, can we pause for commercial, no?, well, again, to my original talking point, damn, I did it again, if we don’t extend the tax breaks for the wealthiest Americans, i.e. the corporate plutocracy, and, yo, well, now where was I, ahh, yeah, you just have to go back to our talking point #7007 which clearly states “go back and look at the tax and out of control spending policies of Nancy Pelosi… well, you know the rest.”…… thus, proving that Senator elect from, again, who cares, Kirk, is nothing more than a robotic puppet on a string whose levers are pulled by the multi-national corporate sponsors who hired him, via secret donations courtesy of the Robert’s Court and the folly of the Citizens United decision, lending real credit to who and what these people really are–carpet bagging snake oil salesmen who are selling out the United States of America–the birthplace of the conceptualized reality of a little known word these days…DEMOCRACY! Have a great day folks! PRESERVE THE WILDERNESS! Peace~M
