I see headlines

I've been reading headlines.  They sicken me.

Let's be clear  --  Obama is NOT a "progressive".  He is who he has said over and over again he is - a "Clintonian sorta-lib".  You want something progressive out of him  --  fight for it, work him, yell and scream  --  MAYBE then.............................. .

No one really gives a flying fuck about "Benghazi".  The fact we lost folks is a bad thing.  It's a horrible thing.  It was NOT a "plot" by our "terrorist-sympathizer-Muslim-madrasa-trained-Nazi-Communist-I hate-white-people-foreign-not-really-American" President.  AND, no one but some wing-nut-rabid-right-wing-republicans care.

General David Petraeus is a product of the Media, a typical Washington bull-shit-artist, and was most likely dumped for other, more serious reasons.  In any case, I think it good his coup failed, and that the CIA rose up to get rid of him  --  or something like that, or not.

The Republicans STILL DO NOT HAVE A CLUE.  If they actually accept reality  --  they dissolve the party, come out, embrace their inner Democrat, and work for a more egalitarian society.  They admit we all need health care, all require paid vacations, good jobs, good PUBLIC SCHOOLS, need a totally updated infrastructure, and that the Public Works Projects will keep our economy humming for years.  They will also reign in Wall Street, the Koch brothers and their ilk, and tell their rabid supporters the truth   --  they were just kidding all these years.

Instead of slinking away, these cowards will stand up and apologize to Nate Silver  --  after that, these same Republican operatives will admit they know nothing about math, polling, statistics, and last, but not least WOMEN.  They are the REAL "girly-men".

Paul Ryan will finally embrace his "inner clown" and stop pretending to be a "policy wonk".  People will also realize it is not WONK but WANKER  --  an easy enough mistake.

The "tea-party" folks will STOP complaining about the gubmint from their gubmint "mobility devices", while living of their gubmint Social Security and Medicare.  They WILL understand that a stable society just might protect old coots (like me) better than one 1911 and an AK47.
