Wasting Your Time

I did you a great favor! I am not going to waste your time.
by Charlie Leck

Sometimes you just have to know when to tear it up and throw it away! I did that with this morning’s blog. And, it was a great favor I did for you.

You know, it wasn’t that tearing-it-from-the pad-and-crumpling-it-up kind of motion. Remember when we did that so many years ago? No, it was the simpler and less satisfying motion of sliding the mouse up to the little x-mark at the top right corner of the word processing application and clicking on it. A question flashes before one’s eyes on the monitor screen: Save current document? Yes? No? A simple click on the no-button, and the crap one was producing is gone forever – exactly to where it ought to go.

You should be proud of me for not wasting your time.

I was going to whip on the Republican Party a bit this morning. I mean really put a woopin’ on ‘em! What’s the use? They’re holding the trump cards right now and they’re going to win the big pile of chips that are out there in the middle of the table – they get to keep the tax cuts for the very richest people in the nation. I have a feeling that it will be a while before we can again look upon a winning hand.

TO SAVE GASOLINE ALL ROADS MUST RUN DOWNHILL

That’s the law here in Camelotski!
by Charlie Leck

No longer shall a road run up a hillside
Each byway and hiway must run on downward
And no auto shall be forced to strain on upward
For from here and ever onward it’s all downhillward

Read in Paul Krugman’s latest column about the Latin American political party that promised that its nation would save on gasoline costs by building highways that only ran downhillward.

Is Krugman the last economic and political thinker with any sense? Sometimes I think so. I always get my reality check by reading him.

Right now he’s asking the Republicans to make just such a check. They are promising us no more deficits when they take control of Congress. And, they are promising to renew the Bush tax cuts for the wealthy!

Highways that run only downhill! It is that for which the GOP is asking us to vote.

There really is a sucker born every minute and they are all lining up to vote the GOP back into office – the party that gave us two multi-trillion dollar wars and tax cuts to boot. We are about to restore to power the party that treated us like we had no brains and ran roughshod over our constitutional rights to privacy.

Somehow the party of the rich has got those with little swooning after it! It’s an infatuation that will lead to heartbreak when those with the mad crushes find out who the GOP really loves!

Here they come again!
We’re about to have some fun again!
Don’t bother asking!
Don’t bother checking!
We’ll make the rich so much richer again!
Let’s do it all over again!

Insanity reigns in America. The big liars are selling us Double Whoppers with Cheese! Here's how Krugman puts it...

“So what’s left? Howard Gleckman of the nonpartisan Tax Policy Center has done the math. As he points out, the only way to balance the budget by 2020, while simultaneously (a) making the Bush tax cuts permanent and (b) protecting all the programs Republicans say they won’t cut, is to completely abolish the rest of the federal government: ‘No more national parks, no more Small Business Administration loans, no more export subsidies, no more N.I.H. No more Medicaid (one-third of its budget pays for long-term care for our parents and others with disabilities). No more child health or child nutrition programs. No more highway construction. No more homeland security. Oh, and no more Congress.’”

And, oh yes, all highways built in the future may only go downhill!
