new orders

Well, they did it. Sam Alito has replaced former swing voter Sandra Day O'Connor. I hope y'all are happy in the Republican party. Because this one's gonna last, along with the other ones. Twenty, thirty years. Ready for it, America?

I'd comment on it all, make snide comments about Roe, about authority vs. people, predict doom laced with sarcasm. But I cant. I feel like crap, and this just piles it on. I cant even generate any real comment on the laughable accusation by President Oil Baron that we are respondsible for the oil crisis, other than to point out that we are the dumbasses who've put the politicians who've made the energy policies for this country into office in the first place.

We suck. We will get everything that we so richly deserve. Poverty, sickness, falling wages, a shrinking piece of the pie, in short, less and less and less of everything but cheap TVs and video players for everyone (excepting the top few who'll get the cream, the butter, the curds, the whole milk, the 2%, the 1%, and half the Skim). And because this is a Democracy, we will have no one to blame but ourselves.

Congratulations.

i disagree, everyone of those macho folks out there who must have an suv, to use in the subarbs, along with folks with three or less kids who bought mini-vans to keep up with the joneses had a huge impact on oil consumption, plus all those voters out there who had abortion as thier number one axe to grind (on either side) and not our future, all rolled to get us here. i do not blame the politicians at all for monopolizing a divided knee-jerking electoracte, who wants to sue and blame everybody else for their lethargy. the supreme court is the least of our problems, we are our biggest problem, because all we do is sit and bitch, and defend verbal turf. nothing gets better that way.

Actually, I know that, and said so at the bottom. We suck. Anything that happens to us is self-inflicted. Democracy is a responsibility.
