Budget veto and FISA train wreck in DC.
Tuesday, November 13th, 2007People I think I am in a mild state of shock this morning, too stunned for excessive profanity even. I know, a sad day. But on the other side of the coin, this news is of such an absurd nature that profanity and half-coherent speech seems to be the only way of properly expressing the deep-seated, resentful, bitter, disgusted, and black fucking anger that I feel at the moment.
Yet I find myself without the heart this morning. At any rate why don’t we move on to see what the supercilious minions of Cheney have managed to do now. How have the members of the Republican Party managed to abuse and dishonor the Constitution today?
First and foremost, the FISA act of 1978 has officially been gutted. Both parties decided that it would be fun to draw and quarter the bill in the name of national security. Don’t ask me why because I don’t fucking know. It seems that the arrogance and scorn of our elected officials is perpetually unchecked. Good work for both the House and the Senate, why did the Democratic Party work with such slavish ardor to obtain the majority? They haven’t bothered to do anything beneficial yet. My bad, they somehow weaseled a victory in the water department. So sorry to have slandered your useless, spineless, cowering character my fellow Democrats.
So thanks to our painfully weak liberal party we now have an anemic and nearly perished version of the FISA bill of 1978. For those of you who don’t know what that is (and if you don’t know, do me a favor and go play in oncoming traffic), it was a bill drafted to protect certain freedoms we as Americans enjoy. Small, insignificant things like making a court order mandatory when the government wants to stick their greedy fucking fingers in your personal affairs. Fourth Amendment shit. Nothing overly important. At least that is how the 110TH Congress viewed the matter. Did I mention that the Democratic Party has the majority right now? I did? Oh, good, just wanted to make sure.
Second on the list of depressing, sobering, dismal fucking actions out of Washington D.C. is the latest Veto from President McBrainless. A $606 billion dollar spending bill for such disposable things like education and health and labor programs for the current fiscal year, arbitrarily received the ‘fuck off’ veto stamp from our caring imbecile of a President. But the GOOD news is that on the same day (and most likely within five minutes of the veto) Bushit signed a $471 billion DOD bill, which funds regular Pentagon operations. Note, I said ‘regular’ operations, this bill does NOT include spending for the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq. Pretty cool right? I know I’m happy seeing my tax dollars put to blowing the living shit out of third world nations. I mean who in their right mind would ever want to see some helpful, pleasant, extremely useful social reform programs here in their own country? That’s just crazy people.
I’m out people. Time to go pound aggression out at the gym. Do me a favor though and read the two stories though, and publish the living shit out them. Veto story. FISA story.
Out.
