Dennis Smith - Good Riddance!

So Dennis Smith is resigning from his job as Secretary of the Wisconsin Dept. of Health & Human Services. 

Good.  But its not because he supports Scott Walker's insane policy to decline federal funds to expand Medicare (although he probably does).  No.  That's not the reason.

Dennis Smith, hard as it is to believe, was attractive to someone other than his wife.  I guess carrying on an affair with one of the departments attorneys proved to be his exit strategy.  My dearest, I am so sorry you thought you had a F*cking clue how to run an agency.

I really can't stand these morally bankrupt people.  It's bad enough they rewrite public policy while screwing the public; they also screw each other and are so surprised when people find that a little reprehensible.

So where do they go when they're embarrassed out of public appointments?  Lobbying firms in Washington.  The criteria for being a Washington lobbyist, apparently, is any kind of stench that lingers in the air when you enter or exit a room.

Makes me glad I don't live in Washington.  It stinks on so many levels.

If Scott Walker had a dick, maybe we could get rid of him, too.  Unfortunately, Walker is dickless, so we're just stuck with him.  I will, however, be able to remember exactly the most unsatisfying f*ck I've ever had in my life.  It was when Scott Walker was elected Governor and he shafted half the citizens in Wisconsin  at the same time.

Pimps, Prostitutes and Priests

In the not so distant past, a group of people I knew always had an annual "Pimp, Prostitute and Priest" party.  We'd rent a bus, dress up in some costume relative to the theme, and hit the bars all over town.  I remember gigantic hangovers, but being really in good shape from all the dancing we did. 

One of the friends, a nice Jewish boy, always rented a Pope costume.  He was awesome; so cute in his pointy hat.  We all kissed his ring.  There were lots of nuns, more prostitutes, a couple of priests and a wide variety of pimps.  I remember one year borrowing a lab coat, sticking a turkey baster in one pocket and a legless baby doll in the other and going as an abortionist.  We all ended up going duck pin bowling at midnight.  Ah, fond memories!

Anyhow, long story short, who knew that the Vatican was borrowing this theme and living it?

I don't know how people wrap their heads around the catholic religion, I truly don't.  I just know that watching the archdiocese here in Milwaukee try to cry "bankrupt" to get out of paying victims of clergy sexual abuse is appalling, probably as appalling as our pimp prostitute and priest parties.  At least, we weren't serious.  And now the latest rumors coming out of Italy are just atrociously horrific.  Scandals, blackmail, high class gay prostitution rings, and high up holy men in the church.  No wonder the pope resigned.  And all you "crazy catholics" to quote my father, better think about where that money is actually going after you drop it in the collection basket.  Do you really want to support Luigi's House of Endless Pleasure?

Now, I have to say I'm on the edge about believing in God.  I do believe in the Great Cosmic Soup.  But if a football field sized meteorite were to land on Vatican City in the next few months, you betcha I'm a believer!

Why We Need a Revolution

We need a revolution because it's been over 200 years since the last one.  The country is a mess, having been turned over to corporations and special interest groups. 

We need a revolution to oust politicians like Scott Walker, David A. Clarke, Jr., and most republicans.  This country cannot move forward if it is mired in an ideology that should have died with the wild west.

We need a revolution to take back and implement the United States Constitution, free from the meddling of lawyers and congressional incumbents.

We need a revolution to prevent cults, like the Roman Catholic Church, from sexually assaulting children and then filing bankruptcy to prevent payment to victims.

We need a revolution to protect the environment from the money grubbers who can't see past a dollar sign.  That their brains are affected by bad air, bad water and bad food is evident.

We need to dismantle the United States of America, Inc. once and for all.  It simply is not worth saving in its current state.

Keeping Track of Scott Walker's Legacy of Nutzoid Behavior

Four rural communities here in Wisconsin have had to close their Planned Parenthood Clinics because of Scott Walker's budget.  He just won't allow money to go to any institution that might promote S-E-X.  Have to spell it.  Conservative republicans can't stand the word, much less the act.  Despite the fact that Scott Walker has two children, I'm betting that's exactly how many times he's had S-E-X.  And his wife probably had to get him drunk first.  All that aside, I am hopeful that one of Walker's sons gets a girl pregnant whom couldn't get birth control pills because there wasn't a clinic from which to obtain them.  I wonder how fast the Walker clan would rush her to an abortion clinic.  Hypocrites are the least palatable of all people, in my opinion. 

And just to remind everyone that an idiot is in charge here in Wisconsin, Scott Walker has $25,000,000 earmarked for venture capital in his budget, but he doesn't have a plan on how it will be distributed.  Scott Walker without a plan.  Yeah, well, this is nothing new.  Unfortunately, Scott Walker's last economic growth plan came up millions short and no one accounted for the loans or the repayment of those loans.  Incompetence in the Walker Administration is the status quo.  I have very little faith in Scott Walker's plans.  I doubt he could plan a trip to the men's room. 

I just wonder how many women will end up with unwanted pregnancies because of the lack of funding to Planned Parenthood.  And I wonder where this $25,000,000 venture capital budget line will get lost.  Either way, the Walker Way is a bad road.  And we're all on it.  Thanks you A$$holes who voted this yokel into a position of power.  Hard to imagine anyone more stupid than Walker, but you certainly are.

The Lost Weekend.

My sister/friend Helen came to Milwaukee to visit this weekend; bringing that New York energy with her and we had quite the time, hitting the consignment/vintage shops.  I'm a little poorer financially, but so much richer after spending such a good time with such a delightful person.  Needless to say, we found many treasures and bought everything we liked.   Lots of bagfuls.  We may shop the discounts, but we always look like a millions bucks!  I will especially look like a gazillion dollars in my Escada cashmere blazer, for which I paid exactly twenty-three dollars.

The real prize was just knowing this person is in my life and we will have these wonderful times together. 

All I did this weekend was have fun.  Good conversation, good food and great fun driving around.  I took the two shrinks to see Silver Linings Playbook, and I have to say, seeing it the second time for me was as enjoyable as it was the first time.  This is a great movie and sharing it with people who really understand mental illness was a good experience.  I am in love with crazy Bradley Cooper.  And crazy Robert de Niro.  I even have a girl crush on crazy Jennifer Lawrence.  People.....go see this movie.  Somehow, you walk out of the theatre with the most amazing feeling; and it's quite a mystery how you attained it.  Some movies just do that to you.

This is how much I love Helen.  I gave her one of the books in a series of volumes of my favorite story, The Peasants.  It took me years to collect all four books because they're old and out of print, and it was a tremendous task to get the right translation of it.  The author won the Nobel Prize for literature for this work.  I hope she likes it because she is one of the few people to whom I would even consider loaning the books.  Took me too long to collect them, they're eighty years old and very fragile.....but the story is so awesome and the writing so musical, I had to share it with her.  I hope she'll ask for the next volume in the future.

Anyhow, I haven't read a newspaper in four days, watched the news, or had any inkling of the outside world.  I was too wrapped up in fun and sisterhood.  Aren't I the lucky one!

No Shortage of A$$hole Politicians in Wisconsin

The little brained puppet boy of big business, otherwise known as the pawn Scott Walker, has rejected billions in federal aid that would have allowed Wisconsin to expand Badger Care, the health insurance program for the uninsured here in our state.

Isn't that just about what you'd expect from Scott Walker.  Its always f*cking ideology before people with these dickheads.  I believe Scott Walker is reincarnated.  His last incarnation was the son-of-a-bitch who loaded the Zyklon B into the shower canisters at the death camps.  Scott Walker is a horror of a human being.  Anyone who thinks differently has absolutely no compassion or kindness inside them, and no real clue about life or love, in general.  Pity the fool. 

I don't know what the republicans are thinking; that they can kill off the poor?  That seems to be their approach.  No food programs.  No health insurance programs.  No welfare whatsoever.  Sounds like a Nazi plan to me. 

I wonder if Walker has hired an architect to build some crematoriums.  Or maybe this is why he wants the mining bill, which would be devastating to the environment, pushed through so quickly.  Let's just kill poors and minorities, put them in a big hole in the ground and cover them up. 

Scott Walker is a travesty of a human being.  I am disgusted by the citizens of this state and their election of this completely inhumane poor excuse for any kind of an earthling.  If these are our leaders, we'd better hope there's intelligent life out there cuz there is BLOODY LITTLE OF IT DOWN HERE.

Forget revolution.  We need alien intervention, even if they just come here to eat us.

Ron Johnson Anti-Woman

Ron Johnson, that moron pretending to be a United States Senator from Wisconsin, has voted against reauthorizing the Violence Against Women Act. 

He said it contained serious flaws. 

If Ron Johnson was capable of recognizing a serious flaw when he saw one, he'd immediately resign from politics. 

Ron Johnson is a misogynist - as are most republicans.  Why these guys are so terrified of women and of granting women equal rights under the law is a mystery.  One can only believe that on some level, they recognize themselves for the true repressive, women haters they are.

If any woman in the State of Wisconsin votes to keep Ron Johnson in office ever again, she would have to be designated criminally insane.

Personally speaking, Ron Johnson is someone whom should never have attained a political office.  Oh, but I forget.  He did it all with wifey's money.  What a $hithead.
