How to Lose in 2010

Ignoring the most pressing issue of 2010. It's not the war in Afghanistan, it's not whether or not Obama is manly enough, it's not the Arizona hate law, it's not Lindsay Lohan's red bull stained panties, it's not the BP Oil Spill, it's not Rand Paul or Rupaul, it's not Jersey Shore's mass appeal, it's not Joe (insert generic last name here), it's not some fake pimp or ACORN, it's not WH Dinner party crashers, it's not John McCain's or Sarah Palin's tweets, it's not gay marriage, it's not who won American Idol (although that is vitally important to our well-being), it's not the deficit and it certainly is not the teabaggers.

The positive numbers on jobs are not as positive when considering those who want more work, but settle for part time in the interim. And 9.7% is not a good number. The political reality of actually accomplishing job creation is, however highly unlikely. We are not going to get a FDR sweeping jobs program. Our best chance and efforts were watered down in the stimulus. I would like to see a temporary government hiring program of some sort, but of course that is the socialist takeover of the freedom market. I am not sure what the administ...

By God, it's Thursday already...BIG FUGGIN PHEW. I have been exhausted all week and staying up late to photoshop, the awesomeness below didn't help either. BUT THAT IS ART! Speaking of art Tom Tomorrow sums up pretty much how I have felt during this faux race debate. I know I will be raging soon and breaking desks over the next moronic thing out of Beck's, Limbaugh or even a a Senator mouth about the uppity, terrorist, boy President, but *sigh. Nothing will surprise me, I say just let out all hang out. This weekend I will be performing again the Chicago, so check your local listings aka the Reader . Here are your highlights: The Jobless , it would be nice if the MSM started caring Putting things in perspective, Victory on Preventive Detention One huge baby! Protests are being held today at California schools against the REAL bankrupting of our future Sen. Jim Inhofe TREASONOUS! Is this cool or sad waste of time?
