Election Day- the aftermath

As anticipated there was a landslide victory for the Socialist Party last night. The Old Line Fascists went down in flames. The new government = United Socialist States of America.

Oh Joy.

So, the darker colored corporate whore won out over the older and paler colored corporate whore.

How very thrilling.

Like the Who said back in 1971:

I'll tip my hat to the new constitution
Take a bow for the new revolution
Smile and grin at the change all around
Pick up my guitar and play
Just like yesterday
Then I'll get on my knees and pray
We don't get fooled again
Don't get fooled again
No, no!

Yeaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!

Meet the new boss
Same as the old boss!


On the other hand there is some good news, barring some last minute vote tampering by the ruling elites, Proposition 8 looks to have passed, thus defining marriage for California as being between one man and one woman.

Other good news is Proposition 2 passing, forbidding cruel caging practices when raising animals for food.

Sadly the people of San Francisco failed to rename their sewage treatment plant in honor of George W. Bush, I can't see how anyone could have voted no but they sent it down to defeat anyway.

There was a redistricting proposition on the ballot that is holding a tiny lead at the moment, that was an attempt to make legislative districts more reasonable instead of snaky abominations that are deliberately set up to ensure Socialist Victory no matter what.

In all the election season was nauseating and the performance of the media more deplorable than ever and the total victory of the War Party, as usual, makes me sick. I voted but I feel dirty for having anything at all to do with it, maybe I'll give up voting for Lent...

Crank it UP!

  1. Truthfully, the GOP has no one to blame but themselves. This is the result of years and years of voting for the "lesser of two evils". It set the bar so low, it gave us McCain.

    Someday, people will have the stones to break this cycle.

    For now, Prop 2 and Prop 8 are making me smile also!

NBC anti-life?

I would boycott NBC, if I ever watched it that is. I actually never watch anything on the old line networks, NBC, CBS, ABC, FOX. Everything I watch is on the cable only stations... do they still broadcast over the air? Ah well, this story is about the fact that it seems NBC refused to air an ad put together by some Catholic outfit that features an embryo and all of the hardships it faced in early life ending up with the revelation that they were talking about Obama. Here is the ad , check it out and see how unoffensive it is. Like I said, if I watched them I'd quit now. :-/

Wikileaks and police state censorship

I saw an article today on SF Gate about some nit wit Bush appointed Federal Judge ordering a website I'd never heard of called Wikileaks shut down because they were publishing some bank documents from some corrupt Swiss bank. The amusing thing is that they can't actually do it! Even more amusing is that this just draws attention to the site and makes it that much more visible, yay idiot goons! :-) There are mirror sites all over the world and it's almost impossible for thuggish police state goons to figure out how to close off all of the leaks :-) One mirror site is here: http://wikileaks.be/wiki/Wikileaks The US site they tried to close down is still here: http://88.80.13.160 "Cowardice asks the question, 'Is it safe?' Expediency asks the question, 'Is it politic?' Vanity asks the question, 'Is it popular?' But, conscience asks the question, 'Is it right?' And there comes a time when one must take a position that is neither safe,

Child Driven Education

Here is a Ted Talk with Sugata Mitra on Child Driven Education... very unschooling-like I think.  :-)  I've seen videos of him before, this is an update on his research on letting groups of kids learn on the internet, mostly without any supervision at all.  Posted via email from The Angry Gnome
