Well, the Chemnutra sentencing is announced.

Chemnutra was the company who imported the tainted gluten which contaminated many brands of pet food and killed tens of thousands of dogs and cats.

A fine of thirty thousand dollars, paid by insurance, and no jail time.

I feel livid about it.

Just like you probably were, I was appalled by the behavior of the teabaggers in MinistryofTruth's recent diary, "Obama operatives" fake child, grandchilds death, say brainwashed teabaggers.

This couple was telling about the loss of their daughter and potential grandchild from an uninsured health crisis. They were shouted down and called "fakes."

A reporter discovered they are not.

It certainly was a low mark in a very dark week. What could be more illustrative of our state's political marshland than openly mocking a grieving family?

"I'm very sorry about the whole lack of dialogue," Wojtowicz said. "My reaction to Midge [the mother who lost her daughter and grandchild]? I don't know what to say."

Neither do I.

Well, I do.

These people are mentally ill.

Per a story on Washington Independent:

PLATTSBURGH, N.Y. — At a short press availability in his campaign office here, NY-23 Conservative Party candidate Doug Hoffman said that a GOTV volunteer’s tires had been slashed, and all but blamed Democrats for the dirty trick.

Golly! Did the volunteer have a backwards "O" for Owens scraped into his cheek, too?

One thing that really stood out to me, watching the Republicans's reaction to President Obama's speech... they are very, very, unhappy.

Why?

I think it's because a realization is sinking in. This thing has, despite their best efforts, gathered momentum to the point that it's certain something is going to happen.

And they wanted nothing.

Vampire myths are found in so many cultures because they are a psychological construct for evil. Evil is not generative; it battens onto the force of the living. It can only exist by co-opting more useful and creative drives.

From Dracula to the Sith Lord, we become familiar with the workings of evil through this sturdy structure. What can it tell us about the situation we are in now?

Glenn Beck says he's a comedian. So let's treat him as one.

Andrew Dice Clay isn't getting as many gigs as he used to. I'm happy about that.

People shouldn't take Glenn Beck seriously. There are many speculations on this site about how it's hard to tell if he's a "performance artist," or not.

Well, he is. And a high paid one. Quit trying to frame him as a sick hatemonger... that only plays into his hand.

He's a comedian. He says so. Time for his fans to know it.

With all the media fuss over the collapse of the marriage at the center of Jon & Kate + Eight, I feel that people are overlooking a similar show that isn't full of juicy scandal. And it won't ever be so. Even though the family situation depicted therein is one that frightens me to my very core.

I'm talking about 18 Kids and Counting, now in its second season. In the first season, it was 17 Kids and Counting. Which should give you a glimmer of the situation.

When I dug below that glimmer, my uneasy feeling only grew stronger.

I was married to my first husband for eighteen years. If you asked him, this first generation American with a Sicilian/Romanian heritage, what the American Dream was, he would have said it was owning his own business.

He grew up poor in Brooklyn. He dropped out of high school. He had a disastrous first marriage where he went into deep debt fighting for custody of his daughter. This broke up his second marriage, though he made sure he lived near his son.

He had health care while he put in many years as an equipment technician for a large corporation. That's when I became wife #3, and learned his Dream.

The screaming people at the Town Halls baffle most of us.

Why are they supporting authority figures who want to harm them?

Why are they so dismissive of other points of view?

Why can't they see the internal contradictions in their mental constructs?

Well, they've been made that way. On purpose.

They are the Junkyard Dogs.

That's what I think. More importantly, it's what our Nobel Prize winning economist, Krugman, thinks.

The U.S. government saved the country from a "full replay" of the Great Depression, Nobel Prize-winning economist Paul Krugman wrote in an opinion column in the New York Times on Monday.

That should be something. Yes, the stimulus should have been bigger. We wanted it to be bigger. The President wanted it to be bigger. But he got it done, anyway.

He did avert a disaster.

I think we should pause a bit and give him some credit. Look around your place, check the fridge, and hug your kids or furkids.

All of it was on the cusp of being gone, folks.

Dear President Obama,

Forgive me for my presumption. I know you have some grasp of Stupid, since you were in the Senate before you were President. And you worked as a Community Organizer, dealing with Chicago city officials, and so forth.

I don't mind how intelligent you are. That's one of the reasons I voted for you!

I also know you were always good in school. You went to a fine college, hung out with academics, and have an intelligent family of your own. You possess an admirable temperament which does not get flustered easily, and a strong faith about bringing out the best in people.

All excellent things which should not change.

But I worry that you might have lost sight of the full Stupid.

Because that's what we are dealing with now.
