So, I vowed to Be Good. Went to the sixty day rehab for Sarah Palin Detestors, a nice facility in Texas for those who can't stop making fun of that poor vice presidential wannabe. It's an affliction that affects not only lowly little bloggers like me, but the rich and famous. And they were at the rehab too. I'm bound by oath to protect confidentiality so I can only tell you there was a certain former Saturday Night Live comedian I will call Fina Tey and a famous New York Times columnist named Daureen Mowd. (Names spelled backwards to protect their identity.) Oh, the discussions we had, I can't tell you. We learned that her purpose in life is just to get under the skin of right minded liberals and to give in to the obsession to satirize her was just feeding into the machine that made her a millionaire.
They released me from SPD rehab in early February after the ice finally melted in Texas and at first it was okay. Let the woman shoot caribou for stew if she wants, I was just going to enjoy life here in the cabin on The Hill enjoying my vegeterian soup while the winter storms off the lake piled up the snow. But then she had to, just HAD to, run her mouth against the union protesters in Wisconsin...Wonder how much the billionaire backed tea party paid her to shout her nasally call for workers to "sacrifice". Ugh. I'm really, really trying though and I will resist the urge toward sarcasm. I will try to replace it with a few facts, number one of which is that her call to "sacrifice" is a load of crap.
The economic crisis that she wants workers to "sacrifice" for was caused by Wall Street Greed. They've tried real hard to make us forget that fact, but I for one, remember.
The big financial backers of the "grassroots" tea party are a couple of Billionaire Brothers named David and Charles Koch(pronounced coke). Seems they made their money making Brawny paper towels among other useful items. Check out the story in the February 21 New York Times if you don't believe me. I first heard about these secretive bad boys in a magazine article last year and I was sickened to think that people were being hookwinked into thinking that their lofty political movement to restore American ideals was in actuality intended to serve the interests of the billionaire industrialists that got us into this economic mess in the first place. Wall Street is back up to the level where it was before this mess began back under George Bush's tenure while the common people are still struggling ,and now fighting amongst ourselves.
We do need a political movement. Call it the Coffee Party, Iced Tea, Water or Wine Cooler Party , or whatever, but please, pay attention to the real culprit here. Hey Sarah, why don't you ask the Brawny Bros. to "sacrifice" a billion that they made off the backs of their workers?
Fina Tey and Daureen Mowd, I release you from your vow. Go get her.
