After long battles between the Democrats, Republicans and the American public, the financial bailout plan was given the axe. After House Speaker Nancy Pelosi made a speech bashing the current Republican administration and pointing her grubby fingers all over the place, the Republicans began to tear up and cast their ‘nay’ votes just to spite the Democrats. Of course the result as we have all seen was the biggest single day drop in the Dow Jones in history: Lucky 777!

Said GOP House Leader John Boehner:
“I do believe that we could have gotten there today had it not been for this partisan speech that the speaker gave on the floor of the House.

“I mean, we were, we were — we put everything we had into getting the votes to get there today. But the speaker had to give a partisan voice that poisoned our conference; caused a number of members, who we thought we could get, to go south.”

While some see this as a bi-partisan compromise that came to fruition after listening to the American public, it should be viewed as nothing more than a PMS’ing mother scolding a bunch of angry children. As can be expected by angry children, they threw a fit, broke a lot of crap and don’t understand why their actions caused a negative reaction.

The long term results still remain to be seen, but the big wigs will reconvene Thursday, with the possibility of a rewrite and some more party line posturing. Who knows if this Socialism approach will be a positive solution, but I think it’s understood by all that something needs to be done…and fast!

On a side note, Numerologists across the country are celebrating a bunch of new conspiracy theories that they can run with for the next week or 2 before they are all proven wrong. It’s nothing but fun with numbers!

For those that are in absolute love with the NBC series The Office, you might have witnessed last night’s season premier. Sure it was full of shock, scandal, sex, racism, sexism, fat jokes and interesting love stories, but it was also packed with some fine art created by Pam.

Well…the fine art was shown for about 5 seconds and in a small scale (unless you have a 200 inch TV), so I’ve taken it upon myself to present you with the official Dwight Schrute ASCII portrait created by Pam! Click the image below to feast your eyes upon a full sized PDF version of this masterpiece!

What can be done with this fine piece of art? I’m glad you asked!

• Print this out and punch holes on each side. Get the printout laminated. Attach a long piece of yarn through each hole that is big enough to fit around your melon, and you’re now the owner of a brand new Dwight Schrute Halloween mask.
• Replace the default picture that you have on Myspace featuring your ugly mug. While this may not be a photo of yourself, I can guarantee you that most people would rather see this than a photo of yourself with your ex-girlfriend cut out of it.
• Place this on your wall, and surround it with staplers in jello molds, complaint boxes, etc. This will be the start of your very own Dwight Schrute shrine. Yes I have started work on mine, and yes it is totally normal.

Now let me get it out here, that I’m not a full on Democrat, nor do I hate all ideas of republicans. I have my feet firmly planted in the middle and will always make my vote based on who I feel the best candidate is for the job.
With that said, let me ask you this: What POSITIVES have you seen within the republican party over the last 8 years?

Is the country in better shape financially than it was 8 years ago?

Is our country more secure than it was 8 years ago? (with our great military fully extended, our nation is more wide open for attacks than ever)

Is the US more respected on the global front than it was 8 years ago?

Has the republican “pro-life” belief been upheld, abolishing abortion?

Is the lack of government funding to stem cell researching helping to make medical advances come that much faster?

Does it not worry you that Bush has not made a comment to the press about this financial downfall in 2 MONTHS?

Does the dependence on foreign oil make your checkbook smile when you see rising the gas prices over the last year?

Will you be happy come retirement, when your Social Security benefits are nil?

Has the tightening of internet porn regulations and obscenity busts stopped porn from invading computers and televisions?

Has the banning of internet gambling stopped people from making poor decisions financially, when taxation could have been put in place to raise revenue for the USA?

Are you happy that the richest people in our country are making more than ever, while the middle class has effectively been wiped out?

—————————–
I could go on and on all day…However, the good news is that people still got to keep their guns.
Yay to that!

It’s one thing to be raised as a republican since you were born, and continue to hold on to that allegiance, but at some point, don’t you have to take a look at the big picture and think for yourself?

Sure the democrats are idiots as well, but if this country wants 4 more years of a similar staff and the same policies, I’d have to say that we’re not the smartest nation afterall.

“Fool me once Shame on you Fool me twice Shame on me.
” What happens if we get fooled 1 more time?

Rewind to the Clinton days… His biggest negative mark in the minds of the majority is that he got a blowjob from a female behind the back of his manly wife. No compare it to Bush’s blunders…Can you see the difference?
