Baffling

     During the most recent republican/tea party debate the crowd cheered the idea of an uninsured man dieing and society having no responsibility to help him.
     Ron Paul noted that thats one of the risks you take in a free market, that goes along with freedom. Why then do big corporations have to not take the same risks. At the same time the presidential hopefuls would talk of slashing the budget, the deficit and reducing the size of government not one of them would speak out against TARP, passed by a republican president.Which cost tx payers billions.
     Why would we as a country protect these large corporations with unlimited funds for making huge mistakes that were perpetuated by their own greed and lack of foresight but not protect one single man.

A moose does not understand.

I'll come up with something better lately...

So today at a joint session of congress Obama announced he wanted to help everyone. Yet the problem still remains they were all passing around a huge joint, getting high and not having to worry about us.

    I mean yes congress is getting high every day and only admitting it when the president tells them to is a problem. So Congress passes a bill that helps people not America. Cause if your anti-addiction then oil is an addiction.

I Figured it Out

     There are some in this country who believe that to create jobs we must cut taxes on the rich. I figured out why this will work and let me tell you its an amazing plan.
    After doing some research I found that in the great recession Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry was also hit by hard financial times. To cope with these troubled times and not able to turn to Harry Potter for help the administration decided to raise their tuition costs.
   Since we all know that the rich create jobs through magic our dire jobs crisis comes from not enough people graduating from the higher education of places like Hogwarts. So lets get together, cut taxes on the rich so that jobs can magically be created. 

An American Fairy Tale

Once upon a time...


     There was a middle aged man who said he wanted to make his country a better place through progressive ideals and policies so he went skipping down the campaign trail to make this happen.

     He eventually found a white found a house that no one was  in, snuck inside and at the table he saw three pens next to three bills that were ready for his signing. He picked up the pen farthest to the right, it was to small and didn't feel right in his hand so he put it down. He picked up the pen farthest to the left, it was bigger than the first pen and felt just right to him.

     However the congress promised to veto the bill if the man held steady to the far left pen so he tried the pen in the middle. It felt to small to be effective and the ink to weak to make an impact but he agreed to use the childs pen if it would help the country move forward.

     With his chosen pen the man  looked to the bills and the one farthest to the left made the most sense and had the most chance of helping the people who needed it. The bill farthest to the right seemed to only want to help the people who needed it least and the smallest, most childish bill in the center only seemed to contain lies.

    He did not want to sign that bill but the congress cried and pouted and screamed and yelled until the grown, mature man could not take it anymore and signed the bill full of lies.

     Exhausted the man retired to the bedroom where there were three bed. Having already seen the congresses inability to do what is right for him or the country he did what they would want him to do. He laid down in the smallest most childish, uncomfortable bed.

     Just after the man fell asleep realizing he had compromised on his principals that had gotten him this job the door burst open. The conservative bears can into the room and demanded more, leaving the brave progressive man one option: To run for his life. 

Congress Kryptonite

     It seems to me, a moose at least, that the human congress has been shirking its responsibilities. Take a week off for every two weeks in session. Going into recess during a huge jobs and economic crisis and not being able to pass bills due to squabbling amongst its members.
     With the announcement that several members will now be charging fees to attend town hall meetings (which I wrote about earlier) and other member complaining that the do not get paid enough. It seems to a moose that these people are much more in love with themselves than with their jobs or anything else they do. So to get them to act we must take a playbook from the people who invented democracy, the Greeks.
     Narcissus, a Greek warrior renowned for his beauty was lured by Nemesis to a pool of water where he saw his own reflection, could not look away and died.
     Thats right we march into congress with mirrors and hold them in front of our representatives and senators rendering them unable to move and on set them on the path for certain death unless they do what we elected them to do.
     Not an unholy or unreasonable request I might ad.

So if the suffering of their constituents,  the barrage of press, the attempts at leadership, the millions of people suffering and dieing can not get out government to act.

Let us demean our public servants to their raw physical attributes.

Sin

"a sin against God, just as all mortal sins, in as much as man condemns things eternal for the sake of temporal things."
 - Thomas Aquinas on greed. 


     Which makes a moose wonder why so many presidential candidates who said that god told them to seek our highest office are now campaigning on this very concept: greed.
    They say we should not protect our environment for the eternal future to feed our greed for current money and energy. We have current sources of power that are environmentally friendly and will last as long as our sun burns.
     They say that should not help each other out in a time of disaster unless we cut other areas that we help each other out so they can give money away to greedy corporations.
     They say that we should not have a minimum living wage so that corporations can fuel there greed and acquire more money and power
     They say we should not assist our elderly so that that tax money can be given to greedy and rich corporations that will not invest it and cause further recession. 


I'm still wondering why god told them to run if they have so much support for one of the seven deadly sins. For all those who will say that Hurricane Irene has something to do with God and/or Washington. Why not look to yourself first?
    

A Revelation

I, a moose, have figured out how to end Americas dependance on fossil fuels. I will buy an iguana, teach it how to dance and start selling my dancing iguanas services.

I will then incorporate my iguana as he will be my primary means of income and after incorporation he will have all the legal rights of a person.

He will then sue all the oil and coal companies in the world for digging up his relatives and changing thie death wishes from burial to cremation without reading a will as mandated by lizard law that he has faith is on a tree in Eden. He will then own all the remains of his kin and all the fossil fuels on the planet. God bless my lizard.

Just another note: Why is the conservative movement in the country obsessed with the definition of marriage but not of a person which now includes a corporation. Thats really crazy evil.
