  1. This is what you get when you run the economy from crisis to crisis as Republicans in DC have perfected the technique:

    1. You have a constant state of "uncertainty", the kind that CEO's pretend they don't like and use to push for more tax cuts, tax cuts that help them be "certain" that they'll continue making record-breaking profits.
    2. You give more time and space for lobbyists to get their pet subsection in the law that lets them gamble more, and profit more, with FDIC money.
    3. You play right into the hands of Republican legislators, and Corporatist Democrats who are constantly agitating for and doing the dirty work of the rich.

    And, of course, as soon as we get our next (R) president they will demand a normal budget process with no input from Democrats. I hope our state legs. don't get in this horrible and destructive habit.

  2. Stupid Republican Pet Tricks

    Tea party star Rep. Ted Yoho, a large-animal veterinarian from Florida, drafted the legislation. He explained it's meant to send Obama a message. […]

    Even the bill's biggest supporters admit the vote is more about symbolism than substance.

    When asked by a reporter whether Republicans were taking the Yoho bill seriously, Rep. Matt Salmon (R-Ariz.) replied: "I don't even know if Ted [Yoho] is."

    Hey, howzabout passing some laws that will fix stuff, you Morans?

      1. or planning to rid of us that Evul EPA and let the Free Market in Chemical Poisoning and Environmental Wreck-titude Prevail over us:

        Contaminated waste from a retired coal plant in Rowan County, North Carolina, has been found leaking into a tributary of the second largest river in the state, environmental groups charged on Thursday….

        The groups Waterkeeper Alliance, Southern Environmental Law Center, and the Yadkin Riverkeeper said they discovered extensive leaks of coal ash coming from Duke Energy’s Buck Power Plant flowing into High Rock Lake, a tributary of the Yadkin River. Though the power plant no longer actively burns coal, it is surrounded by ponds filled with more than six million tons of coal ash — a waste byproduct from coal-burning.

        Groups took samples of the seep, and found that it contained high levels of pollutants such as arsenic, lead, and selenium, the groups said in a press release. Coal ash usually contains similar chemicals.

  3. One thing that's already happening as a result of constant news presence of stories about unarmed black males shot to death by police is that the media is focused on the incidents as never before. New stories are already being reported and my guess is, every single one of them will get at least some mention nationally now. That alone can make a difference, just like the footage of peacefully protesting African Americans being hosed, beaten with batons and attacked by police dogs back in the earlier civil right era did.  Not to mention the murders and lynchings all over national news. That opened a lot of people's eyes. This could, too.
