President Obama's State of the Union
Address was shown, the text was published, and the address was
analyzed and re-analyzed until little if anything has been left
unsaid. I shall therefore confine myself to my impressions of the
reactions to his address. I was disappointed by what passed for Joni
Ernst's rebuttal. I was expecting her to repeat some of the insane
things she said during her senatorial campaign or to squeal like one
of her pigs because President Obama tortured her with reason and
logic. Instead she plastered a smile on her
face and soldiered on, whining about what she considered to be
President Obama's misguided policies. I guess she favors the failed
trickle down theory that crashed with the stock market in 1929 and
crashed with the economy again in 2008. She also seems to prefer stand
alone war to diplomacy and coalition building. Notice that I had to
use words like “I guess” and “she seems.” This is because the
only thing she discussed with any specificity was the Keystone
Pipeline. In this respect she was little Joni one note, and even
that note was not truly struck. Fortunately for her, the bar had
been set so low that some people were making her sound like a genius
for not falling on her butt. I understand that Ted, the Texas turd,
Cruze was not so lucky. I heard something about him imploding; that
must have been messy!
The lowlight of the evening came about
when little Congressman Twit tweeted that a family could not live on a minimum wage of $10.10 an hour. Inexplicably, this caused MSNBC to
invite him to appear on their show; where he promptly demonstrated
how incredibly ignorant, illogical, and combative he is. I am sure
that the people who were stupid enough to vote for this minor shill
of the oligopoly thought “he done good,” which will undoubtedly make
this his proudest moment. All I can say to MSNBC is that when you
hello up the elephant's ass you should not be terribly surprised by
what comes out of it!
Alright I went Mencken! I could not
help it. I have spent at least a decade wondering where H.L. Mencken
was when we really needed him. If the Republicans can inflict on us
the worst of the past, we should be able to inflict on them some of
the best of the past!
The only thing she used from her campaign was the bread bag story. Sorry Joni, but having to wear bread bags over your shoes does not justify screwing over people who work every bit as hard as your parents did!
