I’m Mad As Hell and I’d Like To Tase The Lot of Them

Wanted: one taser that works through the television.  If I had had my hands on such a thing last night while watching the Newshour on PBS, I would not have suffered such a migraine headache and three cracked molars from clenching my jaw so as to not scream out loud, at…

  • The Supremes who, in their infinite ignorance, thumbed their noses at Thomas Jefferson who said this to say back in 1816:  “I hope we shall… crush in its birth the aristocracy of our moneyed corporations, which dare already to challenge our government to a trial of strength and to bid defiance to the laws of our country.” I would have tasered that smarmy, pasty-faced little twerp who was offering the Republican perspective that at last the benighted corporations will have their First Amendment rights restored.
  • The Democrats who lost the race in Massachusetts thus assuring that Health Care will never be passed in any form that does anyone any good.  I just wish that they had told me the president knew last week that Coakley was going to lose because I wouldn’t have anted up $30 I so unwisely sent them.  It will snow in July, not to mention being a cold day in hell, before the Democratic Party gets a penny out of me again.
  • The reporters sending back Chicken Little stories from Haiti that No Aid is Getting To People.  No People are Being Helped.  The Streets Are Awash With Looters.  I expect PBS to be even-handed in their reporting.  Perhaps they shouldn’t be using reporters who cut their teeth on rags like The Sun.  It’s gotten to the point that when I hear an British accent on NPR or PBS, I know I’m going to hear doom and gloom in the most doom-filled and gloomy voice.

So that’s who I’d be zapping with my TV taser.  Who would you get?

  • Beth Medina

    I completely concur and will gladly kick them all once they have hit the floor, including John Edwards.

    I’ll happily stand next to you and hand you freshly charged Tasers.

    The Supreme Court decision is just infuriating! No less an authority than Benito Mussolini wrote: “Fascism should more appropriately be called Corporatism because it is a merger of state and corporate power.”

    As far as the Democrats in Congress are concerned, they had every opportunity to advance an agenda that was at least as progressive as the last agenda was regressive, but were so afraid of Republican name-calling that they did absolutely NOTHING. What a waste.

    You covered some good bases with the taser. I think I’d add John Edwards too– because he’s such a pig.

    Hope you have a good weekend.

      @Joanna Jenkins,
      I first used my taser on Cheney, so by all means, go for Edwards.

      How’s the weather down there? Pretty damn wet up here!

    I think you did a good round-up of who needs to be tased.

    Of course, it’s absolutely sickening that the “lesson learned” from the MA election is that the Dems are being TOO progressive. Wha??? Huh??? ARE YOU KIDDING ME? I want to yell and scream and light torches. The Dems are full of FAIL.

      @kristy,
      progressive…schmogressive. It’s people lives we talking about! I HATE politicians, but it doesn’t do any good to just turn the ruling party out of office.
