Another GOP cure for something that was not real.

OK, now the FBI won't kick down your door and pistol whip you for using tungsten filament lights and pissing away 3 to 5 times as many of your energy dollars, well your safe now thanks to the GOP passing another law protecting you from Obama's lighting thugs.
Neither will the EPA shoot farmers off their tractors for making dust, the GOP has rumored for months the EPA would outlaw dust on the farm, think about that for a minute.
What's next, oh more voter fraud or gay plots will have to be outlawed by the party who is against government rules.

Life style of the wretched and famished, they are surplus to the capitalist system, not needed, please just go away.

The US budget deal of today was designed to let the poorest fall further into third world mode.  Example:
Cut 518 billion from Pentagon, that is a 1% boost in the military.  WTF?  It's being called a cut because they had intended to buy so much shit they can't now, this is only a cut in the jump, it's not a fucking cut, it's an increase.
Cut 3.5 billion for low-income heating and utility subsidies, a 25% cut, it is an actual cut.  Somewhere some will freeze, some will fall ill, some will have to move out, some will forego meds for heat.  Welcome to the lifestyle of the wretched and famished.

Yesterdays economic model insured by the corporations that own the US government

Tuesday China decided to boost it's solar energy installations goals from now to 2015 again by 50%.  That's  50% over an earlier boost.  The rapid pace and success of bringing new energy sources on line in a matter of months when they thought it would be years is the main reason.  Nothing succeeds like success.

Above you can see the oil industry spending on dirty energy sources, renewables, and the welfare they take from tax payers to keep the US in yesterdays economic model.

2.5 million kids have health care that would be without if the GOP had their way

According to Secretary of Health K. Sebelius because of Obama care 2.5 million kids and young people in the US got to stay 1 year longer on their parents policy (age limit increased) and younger kids could not be denied due to their health history gave us at least this many receiving health that would not have otherwise.   If the GOP gets their way, these kids will be cut off, parents will go bankrupt caring for them, kids will die.
What do the Gingrich and Romney death panels look like? A GOP win at the ballot box.

One percent are job killers, look at the last few years what they did.

The richest of the capitalist corporations and individuals in the US have between 1.4 and 3 trillion dollars in cash setting around right now.  Its thought to be equal to between 8 and 15% of the nations annual GDP.

How the hell can the GOP get people to listen to their plans for tax cuts, how the hell can they say with straight face that if we would just cut tax on the rich and the corporations, remember precious and rare job creators, then.......then the economy will grow and jobs will return.

These rising trillions in cash setting idle are proof of just the opposite.  The so called "job creators" do not create jobs  with money, they kill jobs with money by taking it out of circulation.   The 99% better pay attention, your paying the taxes, your paying the price, you better pay attention.

One of those 8 or is it 9 of Perry's Supremes recuses herself, again.

Justice Kegan recuses herself for the 12th time, not something Scalia or Thomas are use to in their many  years on the bench senior to Kegan.  It must be bewildering to the right to see an "activist" judge set out, what kind of trickery is this?  What if this becomes expected of conservative Supremes as well?  Nah, never happen.

Warm weather and drought in Europe could be a lack of political ignorance


Ski slopes in many parts of the Alps are still without snow, missing the late Oct. early Nov. opening.  Downslope the snows should be feeding into the Rhine and Danube rivers, which in Europe are major freight ways.  The Rhine as it leaves Switzerland should be 4 meters deep, about 13 feet, but it's 1.5M, about 5 feet.  Near Koblenz Germany it is so low WWII bombs are spotted laying in the mud, causing 45,000 people to be evacuated while a brittish one tonner was disarmed.  Barges are running with 1/4 the normal tonnage of freight to avoid dragging bottom.  In one wide spot the Rhine is 20" deep, most barge operators have halted operations leaving a scramble for trucks and rail capacity driving up rates and slowing commerce.  
See in Europe they are having global warming, if they had the politicians we have they wouldn't have global warming.
