Blah, Blah, Blah

The Governor wrote us state employees a letter in honor of “State Employee Recognition Week”. We’re all honored he took a break from his busy schedule of NASCAR pandering to say a few words to the troops – not those troops, he panders to them too, but to the Droopiest Troops of them all – The State Employees. I think this is going to be another year that we get time in stead of pay raises. I can dig that, really, I like being able to blow off Friday afternoons – of course, I’m blowing off those Friday afternoons so I can go sit at the corner and wash windshields, but still, Bonus Time! It’s not the same as an actual bonus but its better then no raise and no time at all.

Let’s see, there was some national fallout after that Babist Church up in the western part of the state kicked out its democrats last week. It even made the local paper here. I’m surprised we haven’t heard more cases like this, after all, Shrub requires loyalty oaths everywhere he goes, it’s not at all surprising that The Base is picking up that habit. I mean if Shrub can do it and get away with it why can’t the suckers who sign them get away with it too? Nothing is going to come of it. Nobody cares and the libruls aren’t smart enough or motivated enough to make it a real issue or punish the Babists for doing it... We’re gutless and way too Free To Be You and Me about rethugs thuggy way of doing things like this. We don’t want to hurt their feelings or make them mad or do anything to cause them to rethink their behaviors. No, we just want them to know we are disappointed with them. Maybe if we get really unhappy we may stomp our little feet and tell them they hurt our feelings – at which the rethugs throw at rock at Hillary Clinton and we rush off to administer group hugs and then sit around and munch on macrobiotic vegetarian ice cream and talk about the problem. We treat the rethuglicans like day care ladies treat recalcitrant two year olds and wonder why they aren’t more afraid of pissing us off.

We have no “wraith”. Wraith is so wraithy and judgmental it doesn’t make for a caring and sharing environment of mutual respect and understanding. We aren’t into judgmental behaviors or casting blame or handing out punishment. We’re into love and kindness and acceptance. Group hugs and spiritual retreats to get in touch with our inner child so we can buy him hand made wooden toys from Finland and non gender specific onesies from Tibet. We think the rethugs are capable of feeling guilt about what they do. You have to have a conscience and a soul to properly feel “guilt”. The rethugs have neither and the sooner we accept that and accept the fact that no amount of group therapy or anger management classes or any other lovey dovey touchy feely punishment alternative is going to change that and begin to treat them like the soulless creatures that they are the better off we will be. You don’t try to be friends with the rabid dawg, you don’t try to understand the rabid dog, you don’t waste time getting in touch with the rabid dawgs feelings about being a rabid dawg - You destroy it before it destroys you.

We have accepted too much its time for our leadership to get out of the nursery and into the ring and start handing out corporal punishment for rethuglican bullshit. We’re been spanked so many times and changed our behaviors so many times at rethuglican request, why can’t we learn from any of it and get into the ass kicking business ourselves?

Jon Stewart can’t be the only one to bitch publicly and don’t even mention Air “No One Is Listening” America. Bitching to each other doesn’t get it done we have to bitch at Them
