A Nation Tied To Recovery

We are in the midst of a recovery.  Despite what the GOP would like you to believe, Obama is doing his job, very well.  And despite the GOP takeover of the House, Obama is still the most successful President of all time, thus far.  Not one bill of his has been stopped, not one.  He has passed everything he has set forth to do,  Including the first major over haul of healthcare in about forty years.  No, it isn't perfect, but I promise, there are no death panels.  Now that the Republicans are holding our wallet, we find that they are even more immature than ever thought possible.  They still want to repeal "Obamacare" which would be fine if they had something to replace it with, but they don't.  They don't seem to have any answers, only complaints.  If they plan on being successful with the repeal they had better hurry before people find out it actually works.  Its first implementation was the first of January, and it has already effected me in a positive way, aka I still have health insurance because of it.  And if my family decides to change providers, now we can, because of this evil Obamacare.  Yes, our rates have increased, about the same as they do every year.  There was something in the bill that would have caused providers not to raise rates, but that was too socialist for the republicans, so they wined and bitched till it was gone.  BTW, that would have been the public option, which for the hundreds of thousands of poverty level republicans, that would have meant quality healthcare for you, not for me.  The Republican party only wants to see Obama fail, and to me, that is treason.  I never wished failure on Bush. I mean I knew he was going to fail, but I preyed so hard that he was on the right path.  I hoped with all my soul that his plans would just work.  But at the end of it all, we are a decade behind the entire world in green energy research, stem cell research and our economy was well, you know about that part. So here is my edict, Buck up, help Obama be successful and you too will be successful, or not, but at least bring something to the table other than obstructionism.  Why? Because it hurts all of us. Listen, I'm not even a Democrat, but at least they are trying to fix our problems, hop on the bus conservatives, please.

Mark Twizzle and the Funny Nizzle Word

The newest edition of Mark Twain's Huck Finn, due out in February will have Nigger replaced with slave. Oh yes, it is true my friends, we are re-writing one of America's greatest novelist's finest work.  But it is okay!  It is for the protection of our youth, they need not read that foul language in the class room, hell, they might even turn into niggers!! Instead we turn them into slaves.  Censoring classic literature, it doesn't even make sense.  That's like, well shit, I don't even have an analogy because it's one of the dumbest things I have ever heard.  This censorship is a kin to the lowering of test standards to improve the rate in which kids pass the tests.  Plus, this is a thorough re-writing of history and should be illegal, it builds a false bravado of a nasty time in our nations development.  A time none of us shall forget, for we will repeat it, oh wait, the Mexicans', apparently, we never learned our lesson in the first place.  So we really are just lowering standards and making it easier to be a racist.  And somehow, I just know religion is behind this one, another great idea guys.  Tearing down our nations foundation brick by brick.  I would like to take the time to quote another great American, Dr. Laura, Nigger Nigger Nigger, lets just try to keep that word where it belongs, in our history, by way of Literature.  Fuck the whales, save the niggers.
