Our country is being run by a bunch of dumbfucks.



What a goddamned circus that ebola hearing is.

One of those dumbasses was advising Frieden to read BusinessWeek and NYT on how to make policy decisions regarding our health. OMG what a fuckstick!

The entire point of this was to place blame squarely on President Obama's shoulders. They don't REALLY want to help the American people. It's about cruelty and scoring points. That's WHAT they are.

but I feel compelled to repost part of a rant I posted back in 2012.



McCain's disastrous pick of Princess Dumbass of the Northwoods seemed to unlock the door to the dungeon where all the craziest people were locked up, and the flatulent, belching and wheezing orcs came boiling out of that dungeon like raw crude out of a broken oil pipe in the Gulf. Now they're in the middle of the dinner party, scaring the cat half to death, taking bites out of the dog and dropping boot-sized turds in the corner. And no one knows how to get rid of them. Their level of discourse, if such it can be called, sounds like Beethoven's Ninth if Ludwig van had composed it for an orchestra composed of jackhammers, rabid raccoons and the local insane asylum's kazoo and anvil band.

This collection of troglodytic mouth-breathers, duck-fuckers, greedheads, and evolutionary throwbacks, immune to facts or reason, have scared me badly, really badly and they cannot be permitted to get within a parsec of the White House. The late, great Hunter S. Thompson once said that when the going gets weird the weird turn pro. What has happened to this country would have sent him on a Wild Turkey and Ibogaine bender for six months.

Do you think they give a crap if we get ebola? Don't you think they will use this distraction to circulate thru the crowd and lift our wallets?

The Great American Aristocracy doesn't necessarily wish us dead, they just don't care if we die.

Cronyism is going to be the death of our nation as has been with every other society.
