Getting robbed blind for eight years:
The bigger problem is that the now-finished boom was, for most Americans, nothing of the sort. In 2000, at the end of the previous economic expansion, the median American family made about $61,000, according to the Census Bureau’s inflation-adjusted numbers. In 2007, in what looks to have been the final year of the most recent expansion, the median family, amazingly, seems to have made less — about $60,500.
Yes, the Bush Administration has literally robbed us of the past eight years. Not only did we not ‘get raises’ as business was booming, but he also ‘maxed out our credit cards’ with his tax cuts and MASSIVE deficit spending. They are “Conservatives”? In what? Civil liberties? Sure as SHIT isn’t in fiscal spending…which just so happens to be massively funneled into a huge money laundering scheme I like to call “The Illegal Occupation of Iraq“…
And he thinks he and his buddies are just going to skip town once he leaves office, that they are going to get away with their crimes? Nixon was impeached for less, a couple illegal wiretaps and some domestic spying:
Richard Nixon and the nation have passed a tragic point of no return. It now seems likely that the President will have to give up his office: he has irredeemably lost his moral authority, the confidence of most of the country, and therefore his ability to govern effectively.
Of course, the public does have a personal responsibility for some of this (beyond having enough people vote for him to ‘be elected’ twice). Simply saying “I was lied to” (while being entirely true) doesn’t explain this:
The price had dipped to $212,000, after steadily rising for a year, and Fox put 15 percent down, his life savings. From Chase Bank, he got a so-called 2/28 adjustable-rate mortgage, which meant that for the first two years he would pay 7.5 percent interest and then a higher rate for the remaining 28 years. He knew that he might not be able to afford the higher rate, but as many home buyers did at the time, he assumed that two years down the road his house would be worth significantly more, and that he would be able to refinance. Fox thought he had entered the market during a slight downturn, which, he figured, made it a great time to buy.
You do not gamble your life savings on a guess. Let me repeat that:
You do not gamble your life savings on a guess.
So, I’d make the Bush Administration and the corporations who’s cocks they suck about 95% responsible, and the public 5%.
Oh, and the Bush administration, in addition to being common criminals are also fucking sadists.
Alright, I believe I’ve covered the impeachable offenses: those that continue to outrage me every fucking day that the culpable, contemptible and vile members of the Bush Administration walk free.

Solar is starting to pick up some steam:
“Five hundred megawatts — that’s substantial,” said spokesman George Douglas of the National Renewable Energy Laboratory. “Projects of that size begin to show that solar energy can produce electricity on a utility scale, on the kind of scale that we’re going to need.”
The Edison rooftop project will place photovoltaic cells on 65 million square feet of commercial building roofs in Southern California. The cells will generate as much as 250 megawatts of electricity — enough to power about 162,500 average homes, based on the utility’s estimate that one megawatt would serve about 650 average homes.
“These are the kinds of big ideas we need to meet California’s long-term energy and climate change goals,” Schwarzenegger said in a statement. “If commercial buildings statewide partnered with utilities to put this solar technology on their rooftops, it would set off a huge wave of renewable-energy growth.”
Now we just need to expand this to a national level. And include residential structures. And have started it fifteen years ago.
I always think “too little too late”…it rings through my head like a fucking gong of doom…

Mind enhancing drugs, not just caffeine anymore.  This Piracetam sounds interesting, I’m going to have to “get me some”. As you can see from my broken English, my mind is in dire need of supplementation…this game (while amazingly simple) is confounding me!

You know how good and cool Obama is? Hillary is as evil and uncool in an inverse fashion. I recently had to remind someone that if Hillary LIES about landing under sniper fire, then recants her lie saying that she was tired from lack of sleep, and yet also says that she is the one you can trust at 3AM, THERE IS A REASON ALL OF THIS SOUNDS FAMILIAR. HILLARY CLINTON IS FUCKING GEORGE BUSH! And I don’t mean that in the amusing way, I mean literally, she is the reincarnation of that slimy cocksucker who will say anything to get elected, FUCK THE TRUTH. Is that REALLY what we want, more lies?
Allow me to be juvenile for a second. I hope it does not blunt the force of my previous statement.
