my annual retelling of my finest bed time story, happy Oct. 31st

A bed time story.

One day a self-edifying group of subniveal conservative lemmings rushing through the forest came upon a magnificent bull stuck in the mud.  After some discussions with the bull it was decided is they could profit they would help the bull free himself.  At first it was great chaos as the lemmings bragged and argued amongst themselves and to the bull that they were each the true center of conservative strength.   The neo-cons begged for assination of foreign heads of state as policy, the paleo-cons cried for a return to Nietzche ideals, constitutionalists demanded repeal of the Amendments, veiled racist denounced emigrants, business swore against consumer rights, traders called for social security to be privatized for their firms to manage, the religious right prayed for control over women and war in the middle east, the union haters scorned living wages and the health care act, the birthers blathered, fossil fuel supporters blustered at science and solar energy, others were content to just cry no no no.  

Eventually just enough conservatives pulled to free the bull, where upon chaos resumed as each boasted his political view was the conservative power that had accomplished the task.

A few days later the magnificent bull happened upon a rocky pit, looking down he saw all the lemmings were in it, helpless as a group to get out.  Seeing the bull they demanded he repay his debt at once.  The bull straddled the pit lowering his immense penis and testicles into the stony crease.  The conservative lemmings scampered up the bulls’ member to safety and ran off to persecute the doves cooing nearby.

Moral of the story: It’s better to have a big dick than a wilderness of conservatives. 

At last, lawyers are doing something to earn some kudos, at least from me.

Re: Occupy Wall Street.  The first amendment right to protest is being ignored or squeezed down by selling permits to protest by some cities, and/or forbidding being to close to the state house, or to city hall, or in a park.  These are methods for selecting who can protest, and saying no to groups the party of power doesn't like.

Nation wide there is an army of pro bono attorneys working to guide the protests in dozens of cities through the legal maze of exercising their first amendment rights.  Thanks to the lawyers, it is said it is the biggest pro bono legal event since the Viet Nam war protests.  Thanks.

And........what the hell are the cops doing beating and pepper spraying and turning sprinkler systems at night on these people who so far as I know they have yet to find anyone with so much as a can opener let alone a gun or large knife, but to look at the swat team battle gear of the cops it seems they come prepared for a 1980's Belfast riot.  What the hell is going on with the cops, these people have more in common with them than the rich who are begging the politicians they own for a crack down. Wake up cops!  These protestors are more likely to support more police hired and at better pay than those asking for busted heads from their penthouses.

Do something, spend 5 minutes to tell congress don't crap in our water.

The House of Representatives will soon vote on a bill that would make it next to impossible to protect Americans' health or the environment in the future. The "Regulations from the Executive in Need of Scrutiny" (or REINS Act) would require both houses of Congress to approve every proposed major standard that would protect health or the environment -- or anything else. Urge your representative to oppose and vote No on the REINS Act (H.R. 10)

Go to NRDC, click take action.  OK they want your address, they may ask you to join.  You could do worse, NRDC may be the most successful environmental group out there, and they use a very small percent of their income for fund raising or executive pay.  If you get any junk mail from them, it won't be much, just recycle it.

If we tax the 10%, or regulate their companies, it will totally hose up our future

Don't you know they have a lot of expenses with houses in Santa Fe, upper NY state, condo on the gulf.

They didn't want to die, so they got serious, dairies to berries

Been on a almost 100% vegi diet now for 2.5 months, no down side, feel fine.  Cost, more for vegi's fruits, nuts, whole grains, beans, but no meat, so we can't see any difference in our total costs.

You know those adds on TV about fracking being safe and patriotic source of gas for the US

Guess what.  Your fools if you believe it.  Lets just look at this patriotic shit, you know what the cute lady or the so-called geologist in the other add says, it's ours, lets get at it, and use it here cause it's clean, not like dirty ole king coal, no sir'eee it's clean low priced and we don't give nasty old dictators money just so we  stay warm this winter.
Yesterday BG Group and Cheniere Energy formed a gas gang and signed a 20 year deal for billions to export the fruit of thousands of soon to be fracked wells.  Oh, and this will mean the price of gas will not be going down and may go up, supply/demand rules.  Oh, and this means we will not be cutting back on imports of energy but instead bringing one in and sending one out in a kind of freight shuffle cluster fuck.  Oh, and this confirms we have been listening to pure propaganda.  Oh, and this means you tax dollars to subsidize the fossil fuel industry is once again leaving the millionaires and oil tycoons rolling on the floor in laughter at what they are getting away with.
OK, now do you buy the other half of what these crooks are selling, that it is completely safe, no one ever got funky smells or foul water from living near one of these wells?  I know some of you buy that, I don't.

P.S. That Keystone Canadian tar sands pipeline to Houston, thats safe too you know, and will lower gasoline prices, will keep us from buying from pricks too.  Well one of the two firms that are at the end of the pipe also made a deal, told its stockholders 40% or better was already sold to export.  Why the hell do we pipe it across the US to ship it out the other side, Canada could pipe it to their coast for that, it's closer.  Well, again, those guys are rolling on the floor holding their sides, cause it's tax free, it ends in a bonded export zone, plus the pipe has so many give aways in it I can't understand when the drug gangs are going figure out they cam make as much stealing through the fossil fuel scam, and not go to jail for it.

Thanks to all the little people for sending me your tax dollars, thanks.

If you look over here once in a while you know that I have a job, and I own a farm.  In 1922 the first socialist program was passed into law, it says if you are a farmer the soviet, no I mean the people of the US will just give you money for showing up.  Wow.  For almost 100 years the farm bill, or crop support or agricultural bill, or rural what ever bill, the name changes more often than Romney's past, has grown, it has never gotten smaller in any year so far as I know.

Now if you come to Kansas, and I bet it's the same all over, drive out to one of these ghost town farming communities with one cafe about all that's left of main street be prepared to walk into a hornets nest of seed branded ball caps bitch'in about welfare mothers, and people that won't work.  But, you might ask, why aren't you guys working, or aren't you guys getting a form of welfare.  At this point either the room goes quiet, or it explodes.  See, these guys do not want to hear about socialism out here, they want to focus on socialism over there, in the cities, in the universities, in DC.

For the grain farmers in the great plains states, the hard work of grandpa's days are forgotten.  Hugh powerful tractors with gps, tv, airconditioning, cd's, cushy air ride seats, wi-fi, all that has rendered farming a part time job.  Only a few days are needed a few times prior to planting, again at planting, then again at harvest.  And many don't live on the farm, and there are all kinds of services now, the co-op can send out specialized vehicles to spread chemicals, there are companies around that will do the planting, and combines cost so much most farmers hire that service too.  So, what do we do?  Not fucking much. But yesterday I got notice all of you sent me money, just for being out here you sent me money  Hell grain prices are high as the tits on a mountain goat and still you kept that socialism going.   I guess when it was set up farmers were failing, starving, and that could come again one day when we finally pump out all our  water and salt the land with chemicals till nothing much will grow in the heat, then maybe it would make sense, but right now it's like the wars, it's a gift to a voting block.  What really sucks is these subsides support grain, sugar, and milk instead of fruit or vegi and nut growers.  The subsidies promote a fat lifestyle.  Some goes to bread, but most grain ends up as high fructose sugar, junk food, fuel, meat, or export, it's a shame taxpayers pay farmers a bonus for these (mostly) unsustainable ends.

Now we hear that this special committee in DC is working in the Senate to cut support for farmers, but the news is the cuts will be on foodstamps not on subsides.  There you go, just what you hear about in the cafe, fucking people on welfare that won't work, now put a dollar on the counter and run for your car, back to the city.  See you at the counter occupy wallstreet protest, we'll spit on the middle class.
