Do nothing. Healthcare? Do nothing. Climate change? Nothing. Racism? Doesn’t exist. For a group of people so head over heels in love with self-reliance, they sure do recommend a lot of sitting on (one’s) ass.</p> <p>If <i>A Christmas Carol</i> was performed by the Tea Party Dramatic Society, it would be a cautionary tale about how the hero, Scrooge — a blameless job creator — is turned into a socialist through the corrupting influence of Tiny Tim. And the play would end with a simple, plaintive question from Mr. Scrooge: ‘Just how much of my wealth does Mr. Tim think he’s entitled to?’</p> <p>And that is the great Republican fallacy of this election: that our economic problem are due <i>not</i> to Wall Street’s gambling, but because <i>too many Americans are lazy. </i> But there are 16 million unemployed, and we only created 80,000 jobs last month. The problem isn’t laziness — it’s <i>math.</i></p> <p>This is where the Republican Party is now: in favor of people dying because they don’t have health insurance. In favor of letting people go unfed if they won’t work. And if they <i>wanna</i> work, but are Mexicans, in favor of putting up a fence that electrocutes them.</p>”<br/><br/> - <em><strong>BILL MAHER, <em>Real Time</em></strong> (via <a href="http://inothernews.tumblr.com/" target="_blank">inothernews</a>)</em>http://jimbrayton.com/post/12934515667http://jimbrayton.com/post/12934515667Thu, 17 Nov 2011 15:19:01 -0500<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lut212SsMo1qz4ubno1_500.gif"/><br/><br/><p>(via <a href="http://wpcomics.washingtonpost.com/client/wpc/db/2011/11/16/" target="_blank">Comics - The Washington Post</a>)</p>http://jimbrayton.com/post/12923258359http://jimbrayton.com/post/12923258359Thu, 17 Nov 2011 07:43:50 -0500<p>Just saw Howard Dean teaching 2 local VT morning show anchors how to make chocolate blueberry pancakes. #wherearetheynow</p>http://jimbrayton.com/post/12918951573http://jimbrayton.com/post/12918951573Thu, 17 Nov 2011 06:48:16 -0500
