I need an angry face.

Teabaggers were out in force at Farmer's Market Saturday. I thought about throwing tomatoes, but I realized it would be a waste of good produce.

I *so* wanted to yell 'you should be ASHAMED!' at them. Every last one of them educated under the GI Bill, and cared for under Medicare for at least the last ten years. All of them able to work at their chosen professional until they retired - WITH PENSIONS.

Not a one of them under 75. And they all wanted the CA legislature to go part time so 'we don't have to pay them anymore!'

I have to wait for the kid's final documents over 14 months as it is. Yeah, we need fewer legislative hours - uh huh, fer shure.

Here. Have some fun to share with a friend - this is the church I joined over the weekend:

You saw this one, I'm pretty sure of it.

But not too many places ran this one.

The current gripe is that Locusts Hiding The Family Focus on the Family got to buy airtime for the Super Bowl, but nobody else (including the UCC) could.

Your Monday, now in progress.

*SIGH*

DO people not realize the fact that it is NOT the Legislature being in session that is the problem?

Prop 13 at the very least, not to mention the whole Initiative/Proposition process, and SOMEONE refusing to raise taxes but instead borrowing money in order to balance the budget...

Oh, TEABAGGERS! I first read that as "teenagers" and was very confused when I then read that none were under 75. Never mind. Yes, I can understand your feelings.

(le sigh)
Teabagging used to have a much nicer meaning.

It both disgusts and amazes me just how much the "I got mine, later for all y'all" mentality has permeated American society. Ever think you'd miss the old-school robber barons like Vanderbilt, Carnegie, et al? At least their model was to make their pile and then try and do public good with it. Today's entrepreneurs seem to have forgotten the second half of that equation. Not to mention the politicians too chicken-hearted to stand up to their corporate masters to come up with something that will actually help the people they conned into voting for them.

Uh-oh, that's turning into a rant.

Yep, it's just grand. Pffft.
Annoyed is certainly one way to describe it. Right there with you.

At least people are noticing the far-right idiocy:

Trust me, I would MUCH rather view the UCC ad.
