I watch the ripples change their size
But never leave the stream
Of warm impermanence
And so the days float through my eyes
But still the days seem the same
And these children that you spit on
As they try to change their worlds
Are immune to your consultations
They're quite aware of what they're goin' through

Congressional Shenanigans

The Democratic Party really needs to get it's marketing together. Why isn't the party, when it criticizes, able to get their words together? We don’t need a four paragraph response to yesterday.

Yes, the Republicans in Congress stood up and found the backbone to act to preserve their jobs as the President’s Lapdogs and the corporate stooges they’ve become.

Simple, direct, starts sounding like a compliment and then slips the knife in, works well in the news cycle. It could be followed up with this.

They walked out on doing their job. This is okay as they’ve shown they have no ability at it.

You say all of that fast, it could be the 15 second sound bite.

Bonner, for this act, for your rhetoric regarding this act, I call you a puppet. Instead of standing up for the people who elected you, to protect them, you instead stood up to protect the companies you take money from. You’ve shown your parties true colors, and for that I thank you. You’ve shown the Republicans don’t give a crap about real people, except to make them afraid and coerce their votes. Just remember who you’ve sold out when your sucking on that. Fortunately, you aren’t my representative. If you were, I would seriously consider running against you.

You’re outraged? Join the club. If you, as speaker, had actually done your job, instead of being a political fat-cat, you wouldn’t be in this position. And while I’m at it, stop smoking. The state you represent has figured it out, it’s time for you to get smart. Plus, it’s way to easy to satire you smoking a cigar.

As for the liability protection for the telecoms, if they’ve done nothing wrong, they have nothing to fear. Just like if we’ve done nothing wrong we have nothing to fear. Goose, meet gander. If they broke the law, do not remove the public’s method of redress. Everybody believes in Smith’s invisible hand of the market until it comes around to bitch slap them.
