Not Iowa

Remember Ari Fleischer?  Bush-the Lessor’s first press secretary?  The one who decimated all the lies that lead to the illegal invasion of Iraq?  He preceded Simple Scottie McClellan and Doublemint Dana? Bald guy, glasses . . . remember?  Well, the pencil-necked geek is back in front of the cameras, tidying up the nasty bits of bloody history crafted by his crime bosses (bush/Cheney/Rummy) and painting the Bush years with patriotic banners and glorified images of America standing strong ans safe against Her enemies.  Ari-the-liar is still faithful to his masters, after all of these years, explaining to the political pundits why the current crop of GOP candidate-clowns are avoiding Bush/Cheney like the plague, defending these killers as leaders who protected America 9more or less) from those swarthy evildoers.      

He neglects to explain why America had these enemies, how they were created, why some – like Saddam – turned evil after they were installed by the US to begin with, why some  – like the bin Ladens – were Bush’s former business partners.  Join Mike for a little retrospective of our descent into Fascism on the program tonight!

Also, why Rush “Deaf by Temptation” Limbaugh may have good reason to celebrate.

Kathy's Diary

It has great optics, but what else would you expect from General Electric?  On the splashy, shiny surface it appears GE, in it’s great concern for the American worker, has decided to build a manufacturing plant in Grove City, PA.  An area which, like so many Midwestern cities, is suffering terribly from the corporate closing of US factories in favor of cheap Chinese labor and building costs.

In a similar move, Ford is building again in Louisville KY, announcing a plan to bring hundreds of new jobs to the troubled area.  Sounds great, doesn’t it?  Big corporations realizing their mistakes, returning jobs to America.  It isn’t all altruism, of course, the fact is that as we’ve exported jobs to China, the Chinese have demanded higher wages.  That’s cow capitalism works.  So now it’s just as cheap to return the jobs here . . .as long as the American worker doesn’t expect the kind of middle-class wage s/he enjoyed before the jobs left for China in the first place.

With the near-perfect destruction of the labor unions, the corporatists feel safe retuning home, to generously allow Americans to build their stuff once more – for half-wages. Aren’t they wonderful?

God Bless Us Everyone.
