A house burnt down not far from me
I predict one day soon, that all jobs will be political. Everyone will be a Representative from their state or a State Senator from their state and will get to be President for a week, or two, if you get anything passed. We will all make a $150,000 a year and pay 50% in taxes, period. That will be sales tax, gas tax or any other taxes that these weasels can think of. That will wipe out the deficit and put us on a course to prosperity. We will have great insurance and by law we will have to take bribes. If everyone takes all the bribe money they can get, it will even out and the voting will be fair. My predicition is at least as acccurate as Obama's.
It seems to me that all America is producing these days is Hot Air. No politicians in the world can spread manure like Americans can. Obama can spread it on thicker than a third-grader making a peanut butter and jelly sandwich. If I didn't know better, and I do, I would have thought this was his first State of the Union speech. But this is his third and you can't blame George Bush forever. If, in three years your shit ain't working, you need to see if Jimmy Carter has any swampland for sale in Georgia. I hear there's money in peanuts.
I was working (playing my guitar, hah) while he was speaking, so maybe I didn't give it all the attention it deserved. So, I woke up at 2:00 a.m. this morning and deja-vued it and nope, it didn't change. The same crap came out as the first time. Nothing changed, even Eric Cantor's fucking weird looking face. Every time the camera focused on him, he seemed to be holding in a big fart and for as long as they focused it on him, I would bet he ran into the men's room after the speech and let out one so loud that the Secret Service threw him down and handcuffed him. Serves him right to suffer, Baby!
Obama danced around so fast, I can't remember one thing he said. He covered more ground in an hour than Bill Clinton could in four. Say what you will about Big Bill, but he could talk for three hours without taking a breath. One time, I watched him talk for over an hour without blinking. He was great at giving these State of the Union speeches. Even with Ken Starr and Newt Gingrich up his ass, he gave a speech that had the whole country in tears. When he was done, he could have passed a law that blow-jobs in the White House were not just legal, but a right for all presidents to relieve the stress of over-work. Yeah, Bubba was a tough Ole' Bird. (still is)
Once the speech was over, I put the guitar up because I didn't want to drop it when the comedy part of the show started. No, not the stupid speeches that the republicans and the teaparty party made. I didn't watch them and I doubt many did. They have never, ever, never been funny. No, the funny part was watching the politicians in the room trip over each other trying to get to a microphone to either slam Obama and say it was the worst speech since Moses came down from the mountain or kiss his ass and put him up there with Lincoln's Gettysburg Address. Wow, now that was a speech. Short, sweet and to the point.
Here is my estimation of the State of the Union. It sucks the Big-One and is getting worse. I had to put $5.00 worth of gas in my car today and the needle did not move. Nada. Nothing. I don't know if it really pumped it or not. I was afraid to drive the two miles to my home. Every time Iran spouts off about the Gulf of Hormuz, gas goes up 50 cents a gallon. Why? We have more of a a surplus of gas right now than we have have in the last 10 years, yet it keeps going up and up for no reason what-so-ever except speculators say so. Who or what the fuck are they and how do you get that job?
Where I live in North Carolina, there are no jobs. But there were no jobs before Obama or Bush's 41 & 43 or even Ronald Reagan before that. I can't find it on Google, but I have read that this area of the country has the worst residential fires (arson) in the United States per ca-pita. People are burning their own houses to survive and getting fire insurance in this county is almost impossible now. They used to be proud farmers, but this was tobacco country and tobacco is no more, at least in this country. Most tobacco grown here is sold overseas, where the good ole' US of A tobacco is appreciated. It took us 300 years to perfect the art of killing people with a smile, and the government ruined it. Obama gets a C for trying. The media gets and F for even showing this shit!

I watched the speech and My State's Governor, My Man Mitch give his heart warming response. Gave me a warm feeling, but then I discovered I had really bad gas!!
:D
It's the same crap as it will always be, the poor get poorer, more people become poor, and some get rich, just not the right ones(you and me!! :D)
But hey, I've discovered some things, I'm a socialist!!!! HURRAY!!
RATED!
For the idiot box is streaming superpac ads 24/7 on which candidate has the most luggage in his closet.
I got mine on CNBC listening to the Davos summit coverage.
Obama is running again. All the politicians are running 24/7 it seems. Big media makes big bucks during election season.
I watched the speech.
I want to hurl.
I expect those big wigs hate the web world. Being able to find real news is getting harder and harder. Misinformation spread by liars is everywhere.
Looks to me like the world wide depression is getting worse each day.
They can't cover a box of cat shit up. It's the smell. It lingers and gets out.
I just read this to my colleagues, and choked on my vegi burger.
Wow! You are amazing, and right ON.
I want him to be ok. I imagined him being shot as he went thru the crowd shaking hands. Those body guards looked pretty old. He is a politician and he is playing with the big boys who have knives. The police are corrupt and he is all alone in the street defending some high moral stand that has nothing to do with sex or drugs. He wants this world to be green and work together. I do too.
Good luck to y'all!

" Lawyer face." So many lawyers have that exact Eric Cantor face, I swear it.
My take on the whole thing was that Obama wants the best but doesn't have the stuff or the greatness to really go for it. But, then I have been so out of the loop that my opinion is based on nothing more than weak guesses. Very cool post, Scanner.

I hate all politicians. They're mission in life is to get theirs. And take money from lobbyists and PAC's. None of them can be trusted to look out for the American people. No one has any idea on how to really fix things. Instead, it's attack after attack. One thing is for sure....this country won't elect a Mormon president. So Obama will have one more chance as a lame duck to get pushy and make things happen. If Congress would take away the money for fighting unjust wars and put it into infrastructure, millions of jobs would be created. This country is falling apart. And both sides are vicious and spineless.
I think I will empty my home before I burn it, hide the good stuff and collect on its value...then you can call me, "Too big to fail Financial Services" and bail me out!
