Mitch McConnell, in campaigning for re-election in Kentucky revealed that the ACA was actually a brilliantly executed Republican plan from the outset. “We claim full credit for the ACA and wish people would stop calling it Obamacare. It was a Republican idea and we claim full responsibility for its success.”

Really. Let's do this. I just need two life size stuffed dolls that are anatomically correct and foreskin intact. We'll dress one like Joseph Smith and the other like Brigham Young. We'll throw a media event with hundreds of women in period clothing to play the parts of their many wives. We'll bring in a moyel and do the whole ceremony of the bris. When we are done, Joey and Brigham can be Jews in the afterlife whilst they play god on their own planets, impregnating their thousands of magic fununderwear wearing wives to create new souls.

The banks and Wall Street crashed our economy, caused 15 million lay-offs, and GOT REWARDED FOR IT with billions of our tax dollars. Occupy Wall Street represents the best opportunity we have to right those economic wrongs.

Do you support Occupy Wall Street? Do you think the banks give a flying fig at a rolling doughnut about OWS? Do you want to hurt the banks and make them start paying attention to us? Do you want to help small businesses?

If there was one simple thing you could do to help further the goals of OWS would you do it? I know you don't have any time to devote to it and I know you certainly don''t have any extra money.

What if I told you that this one simple thing takes nearly ZERO time and costs ZERO dollars. Do I have your attention?

From HuffPo:

"A majority of American households paid no income tax in 2009. Zero. Zip. Nada. No income tax was paid by 51 percent of the households in America in 2009," (Sen. John) Cornyn (Texas) said with derision in a Senate floor speech.
"Actually, to show how out of whack things have gotten, 30 percent of American households actually made money from the tax system by way of refundable tax credits -- the earned income tax credit, among others," complained Cornyn,

I am the 30%, you Republicant cry baby. Here's a breakdown of my 2010 taxes, you tell me how much more I should be paying.

Republicans regularly claim that unemployment benefits and welfare make people lazy. They are generally stupid in their choice of words but their point is valid to an extent.

NB: this is a diary written by my brother Michael who is not as web savvy yet as he would like to be. My brother is a husband, father, teacher and writer in NYC. He contracted H1N1 as a result of his profession....

The virus infected my ear canal, which caused the nerve in my ear to get inflamed. I couldn't hear at all out of my left ear, but I just figured the thing would clear up once the flu went away. Then I contracted pneumonia. The hearing loss on my left side is permanent.

.... then he took a Gilliam-esque sojourn through the health-care system.

On Friday I mailed this letter to 32 Blue Dogs and some of the worst Republican't Senators. On Saturday I emailed all of them too with the same letter (because snail mail to Congress gets delayed by Homeland Security for extra screening--something to do with protecting their health...).

Now here's a way to hack the system: Politicians only read mail from their own constituents so I did not use my own mailing address. Instead I got on Yelp and looked up the address of a local coffee shop in a city in each state I was targeting and used that address (as well as a legitimate email address in case any of them actually want to respond--which I doubt will happen).

Then I donated $30 bucks to Pete DeFazio (and $5 to ActBlue too) for promising to reject any bill that does not contain a Public Option.

Here is the link for reaching every Senator quick and easy.

The House Clerk makes available a downloadable file that is already set up to print mailing labels to every Congresscritter.

Sure, I live in Oregon, but that does not automatically make me a tree-hugging dirt worshiper (I empathize with the trees but do not feel that they need me to hug them; if anything they are likely to be offended by such patronizing.). Despite the fact that I am given to wearing tie-dye and own an organic whole foods cafe that serves vegan pancakes and soysage, I am not a crunchy granola head. In point of fact I am an obnoxious New Yorker who moved to the Northwest because I thought that this would be the best place for me to convert vegetarians into omnivores.

It is time to reinvent the Republican brand. You can keep on doing what you have been for the past 3 decades and continue to lose elections. You can be a troll like my neighbor who has had a bumper sticker on his car since 1996 that reads, "Yo, Hillary, Get Me a Beer" or you can get serious about what this party needs to become relevant again. The choice is yours to make.
