I am blogging tipsy again, and I have reached my limit with the sheer stupidity that is the GOP party right now (as well as the asswipes from the so-called liberal media who are nothing but a bunch of apologetic whores for the right). The birthers, the deathers (or, as Keith Olbermann calls them, the death-eaters. Heh heh), the death panels, the death books, and now the circumcisers. When the fuck will it end?
Beyond that, the crap that the GOP is spewing about how healthcare is socialism and fascism and omigod there’s a blackity-black man in the White House!, and we need to defeat Shaft! in his Obamacare. You know what? We are the last fucking first world nation that doesn’t have some sort of universal healthcare. We can give a bajillion zillion dollars to Wall Street (and yes, it’s a technical term–look it up), kajillion bamillion dillion dollars to Halliburton and Blackwater, er, to fight our two endless wars, and yet, we can’t spend any money to help the poor people in our own fucking country? Give me a fucking break.
Ok, fine. Congress people, listen up. Those of you who are against socialized medicine and the government running healthcare should have the moral intergrity to give up your own tax-funded healthcare plans. Currently, there is only one Congressman who is refusing to accept health insurance with his job in order to make a point. He is an M.D., and he is from Wisconsin. Meet Steve Kagen, the only Congress person who is putting his money where his mouth is. He will not accept a plan that has options not all his constituents can access. He is, of course, a Democrat. He is for universal healthcare. See, he’s walking his talk.
I knew that President Obama taking the office would unleash all sorts of racism, covert and overt. We’ve seen this happen with the teabaggers who held up signs that denigrated our president’s ethnicity. That would be an overt sign of the lingering racism. We’ve seen it with the “President Obama is not very smart” meme (teleprompter-enabled) that has been circulating through The Village (DC hacks) and through rightwingers’ propaganda machines in general (yeah, FOX, I’m looking at you). This is a covert sign of the underlying racism that still persists in our country. 
To bring you this important message. President-Elect Obama is going to be around for at least four years (and, hopefully, eight), fates willing, and I can write him an open letter that he’s not going to read any time. However, fates also willing, W. will be out of the public eye in a few days, and it can’t come fast enough for me.
