Music, culture & politics. We'll also update Whitee's recording progress.
I'm in an odd mood...but I'll try not to get into too many digressions.
In our public schools, one of the things that
used to get taught to us kids was that Henry Ford was a smart dude...we weren't told that he was a crazy-ass racist, but that's not very important. Anyway, one of the reasons this nut-job was so smart was that he promoted the idea that if you took care of your workers, they would be well enough off to buy your own freakin product. Makes sense, right? I've experienced it here in Rochester with Kodak. Even though Kodak has started treating the workers they have left like chattel, poisoned our air, dirt & water and gotten out of paying a buttload of taxes, that company could sell boxes of typhoid and people in Rochester would buy it...as long as it's from Kodak. That's how freakin ig'nant people are.
I'm sorry...back to crazy-ass...so Hank took care of his workers...his white, male workers...but again, I digress. Now
Ford is going to cut tens of thousands of jobs because they suck. Hmmm. I get it...the motor industry's contracts with its workers has made the cost of "American" cars prohibitive...it's not the salries, but health care and pension costs. If the Auto Makers and the Auto Worker's Unions got together they could force our government to ignore pharmacutical & insurance lobbyists and go with single-payer health care...Canadian, socialist, I don't care what you call it. How 'bout if we call it "The Health Care System That Works".
But they don't do that. Why? Ig'nant. These stupid bastards would rather be in chaos and screw a bunch of workers than be seen as socialist in any way. Ig...nant!
Oh no...that's not enough. Back to Crazy Hank...take care of the workers so they'll buy your product? That's crazy talk. Now, we
threaten our workers. Ford Employees who don't drive Fords can't park in factory parking lots. All Heil Ford! I thought in a capitalist country, the best capitalist won? Ig'nant.
All right, all right...I'll get off that.
How 'bout a couple of links screwing with Democrats...I always like doing that.
This got talked about a bit and has been getting sent around...why
Molly Ivins won't vote for Hillary Clinton. This is what I'm sayin!
I like
this attitude as well. Democrats - Whigs of the Millenium. OK, I'll work on that.
Oh...and can anyone tell me why the hell has Mike Moore been getting so much run lately. No one's heard from that guy in 2 years and with the Bin Laden audio that came out last week, all the tighty-righties have been linking him with Big Boy. Wasn't he supposed to be doing some movie on health care or something?
And maybe I've just been paying attention more, but hasn't The War Criminal been getting more face time on the news lately. I mean they never used to show him speak other than scripted stuff...now he seems to be all over the place. That guy is really, really stupid. He can't speak English. Look, I know that's not news, but the only place one used to see him make dumbass comments was on bits on Letterman. Now it's everywhere. That one where the kid asked him if he saw Brokeback Mountain...that was freakin classic. I think The War Criminal's testicles sucked back into his body cavity. That was awesome! And the chick in Iowa who confronted him on education costs was beautiful. Really showed what an asshole he is.
Babbling over...except to say, you're ig'nant if you're not visiting
Crooks & Liars on a daily basis. I'm just saying.
