Winne the Pooh and the Honey Pot
By David Glenn Cox

It was the best of times, it was the worst of times; who am I kidding? It is,no doubt about it, the worst of times. An age of rapacious greed and serrated misery, the coming of the new dark age. Just one week after being thumped in the bi-year elections Barack Obama begins his "let them eat cake," un-election tour. Even though you knew the blow was coming, you can still be surprised by the force of it.

The Job Police
By David Glenn Cox

Somebody told you that this was a free country; I wonder who? Parents and school teachers have been known to pass along such unsubstantiated rumors as this with information gleaned from second hand sources for generations; mere fables to warm the hearts of schoolchildren and to reinforce to the humbly interfaced that you are siding with the good guys; that when we kill, we kill only bad guys and when we transfer forty percent of our industrial base to third world economies it is only to reinforce your freedom.

Field of Nightmares
By David Glenn Cox

Mark Twain once said, "Facts are stubborn things, but statistics are pliable." It is in our human nature to remain optimistic even when fate deals us a cruel hand. A person who loses a diamond ring in the manure pile must remain optimistic about their prospects. Even without success they will point positively to the progress they have made in their search.

Lost Children
By David Glenn Cox

So I got drunk last night, it had been a while. I was celebrating actually getting paid for what I would do for free. A pittance of what I used to earn but I consider myself damn lucky to get it. It was a victory of spirit, a victory of the burning aurora's behind my closed eyes.

Real Government
By David Glenn Cox

It just makes you scratch your head and wonder, what the hell is wrong with us? It seems that our three branches of government have become Moe, Larry and Curly and if you include the Tea Party - Shemp. We have lost the ability to solve our problems as every issue becomes convoluted. Every issue becomes a wrangling, partisan, bickering festival.

The RNC's Not Ready for Prime Time Players
By David Glenn Cox

Never let it be said that high political office can be bought in America. What should be said is that high political office cannot be bought by stupid people. This latest crop of too wealthy, too ambitious and too dumb Republicans have set records for spending huge amounts of cash in search of fiscally conservative government.

No Bottom
By David Glenn Cox

Andrew Breitbart has been hired by ABC/ Disney as a commentator for their prime time election night coverage. I've all ready sent my E-mail to ABC describing their actions as despicable and showing a total contempt for democracy. Let's be straight about this, Brietbart is a pimp, he's a stooge, a paid political operative in the Waffen SS of right wing politics.

Like a Rolling Stone
By David Glenn Cox

INDIANAPOLIS (AP) — Indiana's budget crunch has become so severe that some state workers have suggested leaving severely disabled people at homeless shelters if they can't be cared for at home, parents and advocates said.

They said workers at Indiana's Bureau of Developmental Disabilities Services have told parents that's one option they have when families can no longer care for children at home and haven't received Medicaid waivers that pay for services that support disabled people living independently.

DAMN LIBERAL!
Posted by David Glenn Cox

I was reading last night when I came across this, and my first thought was to post just a part of it. The more I thought about it, I said to myself, "no" post the whole damn thing. It clearly and succinctly sets out what being a Liberal is all about. Read it and see how it squares with the policies of Barack Obama or the national Democratic Party.

Franklin Delano Roosevelt 1936

"On the eve of a national election, it is well for us to stop for a moment and analyze calmly and without prejudice the effect on our Nation of a victory by either of the major political parties.

By The Numbers
By David Glenn Cox

I was told that I should offer a light at the end of the tunnel, but I can't. I wish that the news was good. I wish, I could hold out an optimistic hope but until we begin to move forward in this country, we face only black days.

The Federal Reserve has passed out to the banks more than $800 billion for one quarter of one percent interest. The interest owed by the American taxpayer is 2.625 percent. Each million dollars lent to the banks is lent at $24,000 below the cost to the taxpayer. $24,000 times a thousand million, times 800 or $20 billion dollars. What do we get for all that money? Nothing!

Planet Hoover
By David Glenn Cox

It is a dangerous time to be alive, it makes the zoo keepers nervous when they enter the cage to feed you one more bowl of sawdust helper. These great tin foil supermen who march in unison singing my country right or ripped off now plan an international chain of counting houses called Planet Hoover's.

Tragic Kingdom
By David Glenn Cox

Well, the Yankees lost the other night and that's good, I guess, and not just because I hate the Yankees. Fox Broadcasting in New York has stopped allowing its signal to be carried on Cablevision. Fox wants money from the cable company to carry it's signal that it otherwise broadcasts for free. Pretty much the same scenario highway bandits once used on the King's highway. "Don't think of it as a robbery governor, think of it as a freelance tax on stagecoaches."
