Hurricane RNC

What do Hurricane Isaac and Republican National Convention in Tampa have in common?

They are both amusing, annoying and costly disruptions.

The biblical Isaac was born only son of legends Abraham and Sarah. Though his parents were beyond childbearing years Mr. Patriarch lived 180 years.  People lasted longer than needed back then.  Likewise the Republican Party was born of Abraham and Sarah... Lincoln and Palin that is.

Welcome to Trampa

The Mayor prepares for glitz and gore USAstyle.

Governor Rick Scott tells us everyone loves to visit Florida.  What he does not tell us is all Floridian do not welcome every visitor.

Isaac is swampy, republicans for the most part are not.

Before and Before

From the Marshall Mcluhan school of managed perception, video projection screens get enumerated.

 Rock Mining in our backyard,  sandbag are prepared in anticipation of the inevitable swamping.

Sandy, Cristal and Kembra prep for RNC

Smile, Ibor City loves you.

Homemade signs are mass produced at an undisclosed empty place.

Let's just say republicans were not in the warehouse when Gawd handed out the fabulous gene.

If the RNC 2008 in St. Paul MN was an indication, we can expect plenty of riotous over-reaction from the Tampa militarized enforcers.  It may not be raining rubber bullets yet but there already are elephants falling from the sky.

Republicans historically were keen on the exceptional thing. Who does not like to feel special.  But more recently they try to plant seeds of their dreams everywhere.  When their ideals and democracy are propagandized here and around the world, people get hurt.  Repubs have somehow seeded a level of disdain only matched by serious concern when a bunch white guys get to party.

Ten to one, i wager most pictured above lean to the right.

Not all Kazynskis are crazy.  

Not all demonstrations, free-speech zones and lawful assemblies are created equal.

Likewise, not all storms pack a punch.

 Is this the face of truth or an agent provocateur.

The face of Peter King, Republican Kazy.

Like Hurricane Isaac, the RepublicanNationalConvention will be a washout by Wednesday. 

But the weather will not go away any sooner than partisan politics or special interests will give way to  respectable governance or direct democracy.

Soon South Floridians will get back to the business of building sandcastles and cigars. Tampa will be reset back to normal, whatever that is.

"You simply get chills every time you see these poor individuals...many of these people, almost all of them that we see are so poor and they are so black, and this is going to raise lots of questions for people who are watching this story unfold."

–CNN's Wolf Blitzer, on New Orleans' hurricane evacuees, Sept. 1, 2005

If I were a preacher, this week's sermon might be titled,

"Is the Lawd Punishing Us with a Hellish Freeze for Harboring Radical Conservative Republicans?"

"Conservation may be a sign of personal virtue but it is not a sufficient basis for a sound, comprehensive energy policy."

–April 30, 2001 Dick Cheney

‘Atlas Shrugged’ is a celebration of life and happiness. Justice is unrelenting. Creative individuals and undeviating purpose and rationality achieve joy and fulfillment. Parasites who persistently avoid either purpose or reason perish as they should.”

Palin = psychobabble tea

Pain in the Palin

Mirror mirror,
At the Mall,
Who is the Fringiest of them,
You'all !

The swamp does funny things to people... but the tundra really does a job.

Accidentally tuned into the Tea Peoples pow-wow on tee-vee while Sorry Palin warble on like the teacher in Charley Brown. Lawd all mighty, the way the lady from Alaska rants, it is no wonder why she is the darling of the disgruntled conservative fruit-cake bowel movement schmearing american town halls and airwaves.



White Noise - Antimatters

I hear them making lots of noise but can't really put my finger on what all the hoo-haw is about.
These are the same folk who warship Glenn 'hockey-puck' Beck.
All i can figure is they are:
1. racists
2. sexists
3. racists



They Hate Us For Our Power

Well, in their own words from 04 "we won, you lost, get over it"




Sharks with Friggin Laser Beams

The Teed-off Party is whipping itself up into a frothy pungent lather of discontent smothered in reagan-centric dilution. Whatever...




A Brazilian Dollars For Your Thoughts

There will be no health insurance reform, there will be no campaign finance reform, there will be no wall street reform, no environmental reform, no end to endless war...

Just lots of screaming obstructionist and 99 trillion dollars flushed down the toilet.

If Sarah Palin would fix Haiti, I might vote for her, but she will have to sweet-talk me in creole.

Part-Time Lawn Ornaments Needed

It appears the spending season is just around the corner with Halloween fast approaching followed by turkey day then new years. With it all comes the added pleasure of having to spend and stuff. So we here are curious as to how is your Holiday Fund going? Is you budgetary be strained?




Saturday Morning Food Bank.

It is becoming abundantly clear that for more and more folk prospects are grim. There will be no extra cash for celebrating. There are few treats to be had, instead there is plenty of coping with the tricks of an ailing society. All i can say is "please help someone less fortunate, anyway you can".




A waste is a terrible thing to mind.

Some folk believe everyone can "pick their selves up" somehow. They try to bludgen us with misguided notions espoused by eliminationists loud-mouths like Glum Beck, Rush Limpbauh and Bull O'Reilly. This candid of a demonstrator from the recent 'million' wrong Republican protest on Obamishtan, DC begs the question, 'what will you be for halloween?'




I Like Ribbons.

The four cardinal questions this holiday season are: Who can you Help? What will you Do to Help? When will you Start to Help Someone? Where will you Go to Help Others?





Uncle Joe's Cruddy Fried Chicken

With the full moon of Octoberfest comes the tally of the annual harvest. With halloween comes the new year of the occult. With scoobie doo affection a big shout out to pal Joey Arias, entertainer and humanitarian. Feliz Apio Verde.
