An Open Letter to Governor Bobby Jindal

Dear Governor Jindal:

With all due respect, every time I turn on NPR lately, I hear you whining like a little bitch about how the FEDERAL GOVERNMENT should be doing more to help Louisiana. I could've sworn that wasn't your deal, though... Remember?  Money for volcano monitoring is a wasteful overreach... The Federal Government can't solve problems and they need to get out of the way and let individuals and private industry do their thing... Remember? But now that BP has your ass in the wringer, you want Obama to spend taxpayer money, MY MONEY, to clean up the mess. Well guess what:  I'm cool with that. But I'm a "tax and spend liberal"; I'm supposed to be cool with that. You're a rock-ribbed conservative; why don't you try wading out into the Gulf, bending over, and finding your bootstraps...?

The fact of the matter is, you're a hypocrite. And an opportunist. You're not conservative. You don't have any guiding principles. You're an elected official, and a Republican at that, so I don't expect better from you. But I do expect you to stop whining about how you didn't get the booms you wanted when you wanted them. Or how you didn't get the Army Corps of Engineers to build the berms you wanted. This is not Christmas. You didn't ask for an Xbox. You asked for some adult shit that isn't in your big boy budget. And you don't deserve a solution to your problems just because they're real problems. You like offshore drilling. You like oil companies. You like private industry. You don't like Federal Government interference. So stop blaming Obama, shut the fuck up, and let the oil industry clean up the mess they made.

You got me blogging again, son.  I don't appreciate that.  And I don't appreciate you taking away the focus from real people with real problems.  You can say the things you say with a straight face, so you'll always be able to get a job on Fox News.  Most of your constituents don't have that option.  So stop playing politics and start governing.  Or go clean up some birds.

Reasons for Hillary Clinton Supporters to Vote for McCain

Reasons for Hillary Clinton Supporters to Vote for McCain

1) Health Care

The McCain Health Care Plan provides a $2500 tax credit for singles and a $5000 tax credit for families. It also removes tax incentives for businesses to provide medical insurance.

If you believe that telling people to ‘go get your own insurance’ is a better plan than Obama’s plan, you should vote for McCain. If you believe that a family, with or without preexisting medical conditions, can get quality health care insurance for $5000 a year, you should vote for McCain. If you believe that a family, that does not have a tax bill of $5000 to be credited, can get quality medical insurance for even less than $5000, you should vote for McCain.

2) Social Security

The McCain Social Security plan is basically a rehash of Bush’s Privatization, while denying that it is privatization. It calls for ‘younger’ workers to pay less Social Security and Medicare taxes and to put that into ‘Private Accounts’.

If you believe that telling people to ‘go get your own retirement’ is a better plan, you should vote for McCain. If you believe that the American workers would be better off if Bush’s plan had been implemented six years ago, you should vote for McCain.

3) War

The McCain plan for Iraq is continuing war. The McCain plan for Iran is “bomb, bomb, bomb…”. The McCain plan is to continuing killing Iraqis and having our military continue dying until we achieve (an undefined) win.

If you believe that war is peace, you should vote for McCain.

If you believe that ‘the only good raghead is a dead raghead’, you should vote for McCain.

If you believe that war should be the first option, rather than diplomacy, you should vote for McCain.

4) Women’s Reproductive Rights

McCain has proclaimed that his ideas of quality nominees to the Supreme Court are Scalia, Alito, and Roberts.

If you believe that men should decide on what medical care options are available for women, you should vote for McCain.

If you want to see Griswold vs. Connecticut (the real goal of the hardcore Right-To-Lifers) overturned, you should vote for McCain.

No, Really...

Really.

Seriously.

I don't write here anymore.  Now I write here.

I'm just sayin'...
