Act of Betrayal

A demonstration of double-crossing makes a mark star grouping, in both its exploited people and its culprits, of adverse practices, considerations, and sentiments. The collaborations are unpredictable. The victimized people show outrage and perplexity, and interest expiation from the culprit; who thusly may encounter blame or disgrace, and display regret. On the off chance that, after the culprit has shown regret or apologized, the exploited person keeps on communicating outrage, this may thusly cause the culprit to wind up opposing, and irate thus. Acknowledgement of treachery could be displayed if exploited people forego the requests of penance and requital; however is just exhibited if the exploited people don't keep on requesting expressions of remorse, over and over help the culprit or culprits to remember the first demonstration, or perpetually survey the episode again and again.

How to Be Good

How to Be Good is a 2001 novel by the English writer Nick Hornby. It centers on characters Katie Carr, a doctor, and her husband, David Grant. The story begins when David stops being "The Angriest Man In Holloway" and begins to be "good" with the help of his spiritual healer, DJ GoodNews (who also shows up briefly in Hornby's A Long Way Down). The pair go about this by nominally convincing people to give their spare bedrooms to the homeless, but as their next scheme comes around, "reversal" (being good to people one has been not good to in the past), this proves to be fruitless and thus David gives up his strivings and his plans for a book on how to be good, appropriately named "How to be Good."

The protagonist, Katie, briefly encounters a minor character named Dick whose description and attitude towards music are reminiscent of the character of the same name from Hornby's first novel, High Fidelity.

Is Allen Boyd a Communist?

Is Allen Boyd a Communist?
Here's a link to a post over at Nathan's SwarmUSA.com site where he talks about a post by
Graham Summers - The Stinging Critique of a Worker Bee. It reminds me of a sign I saw at Morons with Signs accusing progressives of being communists. Let's take a look at who the "real" communists are and let's see if our Rep. Boyd fits the bill.

.... Over the last 40 years, Americans has seen a dramatic decline in incomes, living standards, and generalized quality of life while their savings and wealth were transferred to Asia, OPEC, and Wall Street.

Indeed, when you adjust for inflation using the Bureau of Labor Statistics OWN data, REAL incomes have declined some 40%+ from 1972 to today (weekly earnings of $143 in 1972 are worth $746 in 2010 dollars… compare that to the ACTUAL weekly earnings of $355 today).

Between 1970 and December 2009, the US Dollar lost 81% of its purchasing power courtesy, at least partially, of the Federal Reserve and the economists who decide policy there. This, combined with the drop in weekly earnings, is why, in the ‘70s, only one parent worked and families got by whereas today both parents typically work and are struggling to make ends meet.

.....


Here we see that incomes for the middle class have been declining by shipping jobs overseas. This was supposedly done so American companies could *compete* with foreigners. Whom has that benefited? Certainly not the middle class as those statistics above prove. The CEO's pay went up dramatically while you and I got screwed. The communists in China sure got richer which leads to the questions: Are Republicans and most Democrats (especially the BlueDog Democrats) shipping our wealth to China because they are communists? Or are they just communist sympathizers? Or are they too stupid to see that shipping all those jobs overseas robs the middle class of the ability to buy all that crap in the first place? In that case, they are shooting themselves in the economic foot because that leads to those companies going out of business when the middle class goes under.

The next time someone calls a progressive a 'commie', remind them of who the real commies are. Then send them to sovereignmoney.com to learn about real solutions, not the half-assed financial 'reforms' we're sure to hear Allen Boyd bragging about soon.

Florida TBTF

Florida TBTF
Predictably, both Florida Senators voted against breaking up the banks that have damaged the economy beyond repair.

Florida: LeMieux (R-FL), Nay Nelson (D-FL), Nay

This is clear evidence that both parties are one and the same, corrupt beyond repair and DO NOT stand for the interests of average Floridians.  Vote them all out.

Allen Boyd & other Republicans

Allen Boyd & other Republicans
The Gulf Coast Oil Disaster (GCOD) was a mathematical certainty. It had to happen eventually. It is the result of 40 years of Laissez-faire (that's "free-market" for you Republican dummies) capitalism and Ayn Rand greed-is-good stupidity. The South used to be a Democratic stronghold until the civil rights movement. Their hatred of blacks, which still runs strong down here, led them to voting against their own economic interests.

Ever since President Carter, we have wasted 30+ years chasing the oil dragon with the vengeance and focus of an opium addict. Had we listened back then we would be light years ahead in our technology and we would have no need for oil wars (Iraq/Afghanistan) and we wouldn't be supplying terrorists with oil money to use against us.

But you see that's not how Republicans and Allen Boyd's Blue Dog Democrats roll. They want to be free of regulations. They want to be free of anything that might interfere with the pursuit of their god- the Almighty Dollar .....and that includes those pesky inspections of oil rigs that only slow the so called 'free market' (which is far from free as it drives out competition through monopolies and mergers).

Adios, Republicans. Adios, Allen. You have killed Florida. I don't know where you're going to find a job but it's not going to be in Florida. Between the 'free-market' Ponzi scheme we called the housing boom that is crashing at our feet as we speak and the GCOD, Republicans have killed Florida. The only thing left now is the long, slow painful lingering until the heartbeat of Florida is flat lining.

Never mind that we have a candidate that could pull us out of this nosedive. 40 years of intentionally dumbing down the public has made us too stupid to vote for real solutions. We'll end up with someone like Rubio, whose 'solution' will consist of cutting services to the bone while bailing out his buddies at taxpayer expense. In other words, the same thing we've seen coming out of Washington.
