First, a warm Hamster welcome to our newest reader, BG from Irvine, CA. I am looking forward to hearing from him regarding his first foray into the Hamster Paradigm.
Who'da thunk that Wisconsin would be the last remaining hope of keeping the Oligarchy from attaining power? Well, it hasn't happened yet, of course, since Governor Ego is sticking to his plan. But let's face the fact that the only group of fundraisers for the Democrats are the unions. Without them, the Republicans and their corporate overlords can assume complete control.
Can any Hamster name a single Ruling Class society that didn't end in revolution? I can't.
Obama has been eerily silent on the matter, which I think is incredibly shrewd. While there is certainly no doubt that this is a completely partisan political stunt, staying out of it and letting the People manage their own destiny in this is political calculus.
The Administration's announcement that it would no longer defend DOMA (Defense of Marriage Act) in court was another calculation by Team Obama. Since the Republicans have obviously decided that social issues, not jobs or the debt/deficit is their main focus (as if it was ever anything else), he throws them another bone to chew on. This is nothing more than a diversionary tactic, the purpose of which is to keep them working on things other than the important stuff.
By the way, and this is important because one of the FoxBots already said it which means a bunch of their viewers already believe it, "Mubarak Obama" (as she called him)is not choosing which laws to enforce. He very clearly said in his letter to SOH Boehner that while the administration would continue to obey the law, it no longer believed the law is constitutional and therefore would not try to defend it.
Speaking of mindless talking heads, Muhammer G-Q-K-daffy Duck is starting to look like the Glenn Beck of Africa. I wish the press, or maybe his agent, would please give the media the correct spelling of his freaking name. I've seen it spelled with each of the 3 letters above...Ghdaffi, Qaddafi, and Khdafy. Does the guy have a birth certificate we can get our hands on to finally know what his name is? Anyway, he's sounding and looking loonier every day. Killing thousands of his countrymen will certainly earn him a place in history, albeit with the likes of people you normally wouldn't want you name in the same sentence with.
Irony of the day: As the Middle East takes to the streets to bring about democracy, the bastion of that governmental form is moving ever further away from it.
How's that union busting thing working for ya, Mr. Walker? Well, one fact is this: 279 or more than 80% of the teachers at the non-union University of Wisconsin-Lacrosse, just voted to join the union after years of turning it down. Nothing pushes people away from your agenda like an agenda they hate and you refuse to confront.
Seventy thousand people hanging around the capitol in Madison on any given day, yet the Republican assembly still passes the damned bill (illegally, of course). You can't even go to the bathroom without stepping on someone opposed to your position and yet you act like they aren't even there. Balls, that's what that takes.
No arrests in 11 days of protests. Freaking amazing!
KEITH OLBERMANN IS BACK...sort of. His new website opened on Friday and his new show will be on Current TV (channel 196 on Dish...check you local listings) weeknights at 8 (probably eastern time) starting in "late spring" (or on the last day of the 6 months off air as part of his departure arrangement at MSNBC). The new blog is www.foknewschannel.com so check it out.
That's all the rambling for this edition. See ya tomorrow!
