  • The Bush administration blamed EVERYTHING on Clinton, until he got elected and Hurricane Katrina hit, with the most astonishingly incompetent governmental response to a natural disaster in history.

    At some point, Bush tried to blame Clinton for it, after two Bush elections, and all of America laughed it him. It was quite clear that blaming a natural disaster in president who had been out of office for more than a term, was considered pathetic by EVERYONE. Bush never got away with blaming Clinton again.

    If Hurricane Katrina had hit before the 2004 election, Bush would have lost.

    It is up to us to tie EVERY failed policy to HitlerPig, no exceptions. Don’t let them blame their standard Democrat boogeymen, make them own it all.





  • There will definitely be more, and they will make Alligator Auschwitz look like a small town police station lock-up. They have already awarded a $250 million contract to build a 30,000 bed facility in Guantanamo.

    For context Guantanamo currently houses up to about 250 people. The average maximum security prison hold 800-1200. The largest prison, in Angola, LA, holds about 8300. So the new prison in Guantanamo will hold almost 4 times as many as the largest prison, which is already several times larger than average.

    This facility will be on foreign soil (Cuba!), far away from the prying eyes of the media, the courts, lawyers, protesters, family, etc. If they were illegals, they’d be deporting them, so who are they planning on keeping here, and why?

    Also, I’ve been tracking this development since he first signed the executive order for it several months ago, but I’ve never heard a single journalist in any media mention it, or ask any member of the administration about it. Most Americans aren’t aware of this in the slightest, and the media is helping keep it that way.

    That’s not “Passive” income, if you have to attract 50-60 people per day, pretend to interview them, while subliminally encouraging them to use the vending machine. That’s called a full-time job, and probably illegal, too.

    And that isn’t $300/day profit, he has to pay for those items in his machine. The profit is probably no more than 50%, so $150/day. For an 8 hour day, that’s $18.75 an hour. That’s a lot of work for not that much money. It certainly isn’t “Passive.”




  • The Wall is not only my favorite Pink Floyd album, it’s my favorite album of all time.

    I was a music history major when it came out, and I studied it like it was a Beethoven symphony. I became convinced that it was a 20th century music masterpiece along the lines of Stravinsky’s Rite of Spring, Bartok’s Concerto for Orchestra, Gershwin’s Rhapsody in Blue or Porgy & Bess, Bernstein’s West Side Story, Rogers & Hammerstein’s South Pacific or Sound of Music, The Beatles Sgt Pepper or Abby Road, etc.

    Almost 50 years later, and my opinion still stands.

    BTW, Paradoxically, DSOTM is probably the greatest album of all time, from an artistic and influential point of view. I just think The Wall is a masterpiece.
