They sold us out, and have spent us into debt, not fixed one problem, and now are deciding what to give us for healthcare with our money.

They can’t afford to give us healthcare, but had no problem bailing out Wall Street, funding the wars, and never passing up a good earmark. All while excepting all they can get from evrry lobbist who has cash, or a gift to Them.

Ah! Voting is so great, lets do it more often.

At about a billion-and-a-half a week, there isn’t any money in staying IN, unless you’re a “contractor/merc”. Can we outvote them? We need to find that out. :o)

Watch Obama and/or his team. If they start using words like “weighing”, and talking about “cost-effectiveness”, and tossing out some specific numbers about what it’s costing us, then we may be in for a sea change.

Hey, if it would make the warbots happy, he could do even do it Rumsfeld-style:

“Have we been in Afghanistan for 8 years? Certainly!
Are we winning? You betcha, but the parameters have yet be optimized. As soon as we snarf the goorple, will we have blueberry pie and ice cream for all the “defense” industries? Absolutamente! Should we stay the cakewalk, or leave, and risk our gains receding into the areas North, South, East, and West, of Kabul, somewhat…not to mention the chance of losing both houses of congress if we pull out and the shit hits the fan? There is “staying” and there is “staying” at a lesser lever of stayingsomeness.

To be or not to be; that is the question, in’t it? Without a doubt!”

He just MIGHT.

This gives him an excuse and a window to put any surge on hold.

Will he do that, and tell McChrystal to STFU and make do with the 100,000 troops; ours and NATO’s he’s already got, until this situation can be resolved. Needless to say, the “resolving” means waiting for the kind of Vietnam-clusterfuck-fatigue to continue to increase until it’s terminal with american voters.

Let’s hope.

Namaste SD !

Canada’s real estate market is picking up pace but the lower Yankee Greenback might hurt our recovery. Prices at Malls are some of the lowest I’ve seen in a loong time. Most of us are going to have a simple, fun Christmas with lots of homemade goodies … but that’s usually how it is with my family.

Will Glenn Beck et al being calling on Santa to stay away from the homes of libruls and other leftist dfhs? Will the teabaggers be calling for all good fundies to hunt down non-believers, particularly those brown folks that come from the Middle East? Will we see actors portraying Jesus pimping CDOs from BofA? Enquiring minds and all that, doncha know.
