My Short Take on the IRS Targeting Tea Baggers, Story.

Republicans. So used to lying they actually believe it is a scandal when honest people try to catch them at it.

I hope Reports of the Demise of the Tea Party are not Premature.

Fuck them!  Yea, if that pestilence has run it's course.

I know  we got laws and a constitution and shit that protects them, the real scum.  The Enemies of Humanity  --  Conservatives!  So we really can't deport them.  But isn't there some way we can outlaw them?  I mean fuck.  The Democratic Party is too far to the fucking right, these days.  That is due in large part to how the fuck far to the extreme  the GOP has gone in just the last 25-30 years. 

I say it is time to put an end to it.  The GOP.  The Right Wing.  Draw a line and say  anyone beyond that mark on the political spectrum is insane, and needs treatment.  I suggest Valium.  Or Codeine.  Or both.

Tea Party, Fuck You, Part Deux. On Again, Off Again, Financial Lawyer Edition,

For the second time in the past year of my life, I am doing scut work on a law case concerning the MBS market. Or call it the RMBS Market. Or call it the CDS market. Flippers and floaters, and swaptions. Oh my!

Point is, going back some 20 years, I, even if I have never even taken a proper class in Macro Econ., am working on big time financial cases, matters. I still have to look up basis points, as I don't live and breathe that stuff. But I know my LIBOR, cost of money, and bond and securitization theory (shit, the one young lawyer who is one of my supervisors on the case said in reply to the preface to my question I asked her saying, I think this is beyond my knowledge of the bond market, with an, oh I don't think I can help you if you don't know it. . . Hey I have been doing this shit on and off for over 20 years.)

Anyway, the most funky financial thing I learned as a youngin, meaning high schooler, was the cost of money. That's the core of modern finance. I am not saying fuck Adam Smith. He's the history and foundation. But Adam Smith explains the historic relationship between labor and those who control the means of production. He was Karl Marx before there was a Karl Marx (unintentionally, mind you.) But if anyone want to pretend to know finance and macro econ they better be able to vamp long and deep on the cost of money, otherwise they are too fucking ignorant to be part of the adult debate.

And that's the problem with tea baggers. Modern finance is about cost of money and spreads. Adam Smith style capitalism is not dead, but it's a quaint anarchrosim. Mostly. Mom and pop operators still follow that . . . framework. Sorta. But it is not a rule. But shit, be real you lying assed evil tea bagger fucktards. The classic mom and pop outlet is at least operating with a line of credit if they can get their hands on it, or otherwise have some loans supporting the biz. Who the fuck running a business runs their business without debt?

Money is made on the margins, bitches. Anyone who says otherwise is ignorant, a liar. Or maybe both.

Fuck these balanced federal budget people. Fuck them dry.

My Satirical, Hopefully Comical Musical Comment on Tea Bagger Crybabies.

And what I honestly think about them bastids.

Et Tu, George F. Will?

So I'm still obsessing over wing nut stupidity over the teabagger terrorist rhetoric. Sad to say, as even if I disagree with him, completely, most of the time, but even George F. Will is playing this witless, moronic rhetorical game.

Specifically, he confronted a Dem pundit for employing the economic terrorist metaphor, on Sunday's "This Week." Go here for the story. (As an aside, and evidence of why I hate the "editors" at Mediaite, they at least are blatant about their own sick, twisted, wing nutty bias. Those which are, and not all are minions of evil-wing nuts.)

Cutting to the chase. Knowing the difference between a declarative statement and a metaphor is 6th grade level language skills (ya I checked.) So anyone acting like they don't know that was a metaphor either is actually not as educated in the language arts as a 6th grader, or are pretending to be that fucking stupid, merely to make some actually more offensively stupid rhetorical argument than the one they are attacking. Now if the person in question is a seeming idiot, like Mrs. Palin, one might entertain the possibility she might in fact be that stupid. I honestly don't think she is that stupid, even if I love saying it. However, when someone of George F. Will's skills in and with the language goes down the moron hole, then something is really fucked up with the right wing.

Here is how I say it. You have to be so fucking stupid to believe that when someone says it's raining cats and dogs, you believe cats and dog are actually falling out of the sky, not to understand that terrorism, hostage taker, pirate, or what ever rhetorical slam that has been directed at the teabaggers lately, is a metaphor. And some GOPers are that fucking stupid I am sure. Not George F. Will. That incident has to rate as one of his most shameful and knowingly intellectually dishonest of his entire career. I'll end there. Someone told me it's now the dog days of summer. I need to go out to see if packs of dogs are running wild in the street, yet.

Follow up re Tea Bagger Terrorist Crybabies.

Beyond my amusement, specifically, at Mrs. Palin's increasingly desperate and buffoonish attempts to be relevant again, it's interesting to note how hyper sensitive lots of the tea bagger terrorists are about being so described. Reminds me of the bullshit euphemism,"Enhanced Interrogation." So what do they want us to call the legislative tactic employed in the debt fight?

Enhanced Leveraged Negotiation by way of Threat of National if not Global Calamity.


But it's not economic terrorism. No not that. Calling it that hurts are feelings.

Mrs. Palin's Whine Fest. More Cult of White Right Wing Victim Hood Shit.

Firstly, remember kids. The proper term for a momma grizzly is Sow. But I am going to pull my punch and not call Mrs. Palin a stupid sow. But I will call her less intelligent than a randomly selected chipmunk. Let me get this straight.

P. Obama sent an assassination team against Bin Laden.


Lets the military send drones over the border into Pakistan all the damn time. And jumped on board with NATO, permitting US planes to bomb the snot out of Lybian Forces Loyal to Quadaffi.

And ignoring all that (and that's just the quick tell of it) Mrs. Palin argues that if the tea baggers were domestic terrorists, P. Obama would want to hang around wth them? Again. I repeat. She's less intelligent than a randomly selected chipmunk.

Personally I am going to use the phrase tea bagging terrorists as often as is practicable. I pull the following from the statutory definition of terrorism I posted yesterday (on my facebook page):

"(1) the term "international terrorism" means activities that - - - - -
(B) appear to be intended -

(i) to intimidate or coerce a civilian population;

(ii) to influence the policy of a government by

intimidation or coercion."

And I know Palin's fighting rhetoric with rhetoric. But it's an idiotic tactic, to respond to allegedly insulting rhetoric with batshit stupid, crazy-pants rhetoric. Judged by an objective standard, at least.


Go here for the crazy shit.
