rome is beautiful in the spring




"in washington the republican proposal recently sketched out by representative paul d. ryan of wisconsin calls for broad and significant cuts in social spending, including medicare and medicaid, and wide ranging tax cuts."

"on wednesday president obama called for a more balanced approach, one he said would combine some tax increases for the wealthy with selective cuts in spending he said would not break the ' basic social contract' of programs like medicare and medicaid."

"welcome to divided government."

as the ramshackle machinery of the busted empire coughs and wheezes its way into the deepening gloom of the new century the whores in whoretown are desperate to save their handlers fortunes and their phony jobs overseeing the ponzi scheme that is hamiltonian government by special interest...they are not so much divided by what they want as how to go about achieving it....the continued upward redistribution of wealth to financial institutions, meant mostly to preserve the position of finacial well being of the share holders of those institutions (read wealth) is the core of the agenda...it is simply that one side of the debate is contnent to be much more brazen about the heist than the other...sociopaths versus the merely ethically challenged...caligula versus tiberius...republican versus democrat...it's time to break out the high pressure hoses and flush these clowns into the potomac with the rest of the turds.


as a sidelight on economic growth oil is $108 a barrel at the moment and my $22 bought 5.515 gallons of 89 octane gasoline...so much for "growth"...the only way for the wealthy to remain so is to extract what little we have left...time for a real alternative instead of the drug addled 60s version...the pyramid cannot stand without the base...read "Deposition: Testimony Concerning a Sickness" by william s. burroughs sometime....somewhat different subject ( though closely realted to consumerism) but the same concept...addiction is addiction.

as i went to the bank to move money around to cover the check i wrote to the feds for taxes i noticed that 89 octane gasoline at the corner station went up thirty cents a gallon since i bought gasoline yesterday...oil is trading at $109+ a barrel...don't bite on the economic recovery euphemism just yet
