Want Money?
All this fuss over the federal budget. Such a fuss. Want some easy cash? Look no further than your friendly Department of Defense; sacrosanct to the Partiers of Tea but that shouldn't prevent sane people from reading a simple headline & taking action. For example, today's Washington Post, front page:
U.S. trucking funds reach Taliban, military-led investigation concludes
So it seems that there was “documented, credible evidence . . . of involvement in a criminal enterprise or support for the enemy” by four of the eight prime contractors. Not to mention "profiteering, money laundering and kickbacks to Afghan power brokers, government officials and police officers. Six of the companies were found to have been associated with “'fraudulent paperwork and behavior'.”
But, hell, it's only $2.16 billion, but the great part...ready, true blue Americans...is that the Defense genuises in March of this year extended the contracts of the eight trucking firms for six months.
There's gotta be a least two zillion dollars just lying around in the Pentagon. That should cover at least part of the debt.
Take That! Mississippi Delta
For years, we in the greater District of Columbia area have had to watch with salivating glands the growing dead zone in the Mississippi Delta region. It's like this amazingly cool Stephen King novel brought to life...well, brought to death if one wants to be accurate. Well, no longer. The Chesapeake Swamp (AKA Chesapeake Bay) A giant underwater “dead zone” in the Chesapeake Bay is growing at an alarming rate. Let's hear it for the good people of Delaware, Maryland, D.C., & Virginia. We ain't gonna be number 2 for a bunch of southerners. Who needs those blue crabs anyway?
Republican Zombies
O.k., it's time to get serious. I can understand why millionaires and billionaires and other forms of rich people would support the Republican Party, but until recently it had bewildered and befuddled me how the average citizen could support the party that seems to be dedicated to the destruction of the middle class.
What an amazing group of muddleheads.
