mr. heinz ketchup and failed presidential candidate john kerry has sent me a personal appeal for funds in the name of somethig called the democratic senatorial campaign committee...so has patty murray, senator form w. virginia and relic of the clinton era (she is a class III senator, which has nothing to do with personal deportment [imagine a rating system that quantified senatorial behavior...pay-offs, kickbacks, trysting in the swamps around whoretown, late-night meetings with bagmen, greasy paper bags of hundred dollar bills...you'd have to bring royko back from the dead to manage it...only someone steeped in chicago politics could grasp the subtlties] but rather the distance in time until a senator's next election...class I being the closest in time to re-election and class III the farthest ) they are both really worried that the republicans need only four senate seats to upset democratic control of the upper bagnio and they want me to send them some cash to help out ( i am assuming they would prefer unmarked hundred dollar bills ) clearly they are delusional on a number of fronts that bear examination...first, just because visclosky gave them my email address as payback for all those unsolicited emails i sent him asking about donations from bp/ammoco and their relationship to his resistance to any legislation that inhibits the profiteering of oil companies or holds them accountable for the bonehead things they do to cut costs, doesn't mean i give a rat's ass about who owns congress...obviously it is not an institution designed with the represenation of the "voters'" interests and its arcane proceedings are of no value in the real economy in which the bulk of the citizenry live and try to survive...second, the idea that i would want to send any disposable income i might have laying around to these slimeball freaks would be laughable if they weren't so gosh awfully earnest in thinking it is a good idea...what the fuck? are they so removed from reality that they think the bulk of americans are flush with cash? or are they just that arrogant? lots of folks are struggling to pay the bills and feed, clothe, and house themselves and they want us to support them? i can think of a multitude of organizations more worthy of donations...mostly those in direct oppositon to the policy these bozos create to leaglize their behaviors...the graphic with the blue seats is really neat but i'm not feeling that gillible today...such a tranparent manipulation based on fear ( "the dscc HAS TO raise $275,670 by may 31st"...an imperative? really? the fate of reasonable politics in america turns on a measly quatrer of a million or so? and who, i wonder, is doing the matching? who is going to give the dscc a buck for every dollar i give them? the committee would be better served to tap that source of lucre...i have a differnt agenda....then there's the businessa about a "republican extremist agenda"...political cant is so predictable...of course the republicans are extremist....they have never been shy about pushing the interests of wealth down the throats of the "voters"...it's why they are so patently loathesome...they need new writers...perhaps they could find some alumni from the simpsons or something)...a little critical thought would lead any reasonably intelligent individual to conclude that it is of no importance at all who holds the white house or controls congress...democrat, republican? trivial distinctions in a plutocracy...wealth is free to call itself whatever it wants and to masquerade as champions of "the people" if it wishes, but in the end it controls governemnt to see that its interests are not subverted by anyone who is foolish enough to think that that "we the people" crap applies to everyone...as we head into a long holiday weekend replete with cookouts and enless playoff games i'll kick off the celebrations by saying fuck these people.
5:48 pm
senator dick durbin ( class two democrat from illinois ) has now chimed in wih an email addressed to me personally under the terrifying header of "nightmare scenario"...in the six days since mr. heinz ketchup contacted me the imperative ammount needed to save the senate form the evil and rapacious republicans with their "extremist agenda" has fallen precipitously to $ 119,806 needed by the may 31st deadline...that these elections will not be contested until november of 2012 does not seem to be a factor in the need to raise cash as soon as possible...that the american public seems to have the political memory of a gnat would seem to call for a somewhat later start date to the heavy work of campaigning...however there may be advance work and important junkets to assess the mood on the street by the committee's staffers ( burdened with the important work of "the people's business" dick, patty, and john will, of course, be far too busy to press the flesh anywhere except, possibly, in their home states [ on further review this seems unlikely as none of the chief inopportuners is a class one senator...their seats are safe until at least 2014...coupling that with the aforementioned gnat memory may be making them complacent about taking part in this low-life ponzi scheme...they feel there will be no negative sanction whene their terms expire...and that makes me wonder if mr. heinz keychup sent any of these bogus howlers to massachusetts where his constituents could see and remember them...what would a mass forwarding of this email to say boston do?] they have to keep the greasy paper bags in motion to feed the big dogs at goldman-sachs) whatever the case i wouldn't make myself liable for more than the six bucks...even then mr. heinz ketchup would need to show up at my house on payday...if he was that desperate i might cut loose some cash just so i could call that marker in one day..."hey john...remember that six bucks? well...cheney's digging up my backyard for a bunker extention citing some arcane imminent domain statute...what can you do about this?"
