War, Politics, and Life by Bruce Maulden
As the financial clock ticks away on this Friday morn, the political platoons playing pitter-pat in DC and losing the hope of US peoples in our current form of government — if you want to call what’s happening now as government. Why and how were these assholes elected? (Illustration found here). As John ‘The Boner”…
As John ‘The Boner’ Boehner blubbered last night about not “going mano-a-mano with the President of the United States” after trying to refute President Obama on the debt ceiling shit-storm, the mass of US peoples are hurting for work. The Boner and his GOP suck buddies haven’t a clue (or if they do, don’t give…
“Ninety-eight percent of the adults in this country are decent, hard-working, honest Americans. It’s the other lousy two percent that get all the publicity.

Yesterday, a remarkable thing — I put $20 worth of gas in my Jeep and, lo-and-behold, the price was still the same as last week, $4.45 a gallon for regular. This is the first time in a long time the pump price has stayed steady, although still at a crazed high. And despite oil-price dumping…
The US is saved — Newt Gingrich has announced yet another White House bid. “Oh, that probably means he’s also in the market for a new wife. It’d be great if you could put a good word in for me. I’m disease free.” — One American Voice, The Onion The early field of Republican candidates…
