Oh sure, there are a LOT of things about this country that are really fucked.

But this is the one thing that's bothering me just this moment.

In looking at all the clowns in the Republican Clown Car, that there are living, breathing people who are walking around amongst us who actually think that any one of those fools are qualified to run the country.

Which points out two very disturbing conclusions to me:

One: That these people have made a conscious decision to support any one of these unqualified clowns as President of the United States, who is guaranteed to pretty much destroy America (and maybe the World) as we know it if they're elected or successful in stealing the White House, just as long as the Black Guy gets kicked out of office.

And Two: As a general principle, any unqualified clown can become President of the United States.

The second part, I think, is the reason why shit never gets done… Or gets done in the worst way possible. We have no idea what the fuck we're doing… And we don't know, because we're always giving unqualified clowns credit when no credit should ever be given.

What is it... are we cowards? Are we just plain dumb? Do we hate common sense and basic human decency just that badly?


All in all, and I really don't care WHO gets elected as long as we're so backwards a society, things are not going to get radically better here. It's only going to get either gradually or drastically worse.

It's plain as day that a Democratic sea change of epic proportions is needed. A change towards common sense, justice and basic human decency.

I'm hoping that OWS is the beginning of that sea change… It has to be the tipping point where people in general say to themselves that they've had enough of this shit and they're not going to take it anymore.

It's time to make things WORK for EVERYBODY… Simple as that.

The people who are opposing the Occupiers have played their hand and have shown, through their opposition, that OWS is actually affecting THEIR bottom line. This is the worst thing that they could do to keep their asses soaking in champagne in the long run.

If the 1 Percent is smart, they better start making contingency plans for a future world that's not as cozy for them. Sharing is a good beginning for this new world.


The 99 Percent is coming and the last thing the TOPPERs need is for the rest of everyone to be an angry, resentful mob who's out for their necks.


Eschew the Clowns!
