Wow, I've been writing about this Debt slave to the LAW BS since 1999 and wrote to all my so-called reps in gov. and all the so-called News organizations and NOT ONE OF YOU mofo's BOTHERED TO REPLY!

Here's an example of what I've wrote a decade ago while community organizing in So. Cal. surrounding the questionable police shootings of Tyisha Miller and Irvin Landrum Jr. (ask Rev Al Sharpton about that)

A long list of legislation starting with "fiscal conservatism" and "trickle down economics" led to the decline in federal aid to local governments from $64 per resident in 1980 to $29 in 1992. To REPLACE the lost funding, a mandate for LAW ENFORCEMENT and Criminal Justice (sic) System to generate revenue for itself, State and local governments. PROFIT margins created a government VS. the PEOPLE mentality.

NOTE: (Sunday, April 16, 2000 Press-Enterprise B-1 article titled "San Bernardino County leads nation in forfeitures" WHAT? Joseph D. Mcnamara, a research fellow at Stanford University and former police chief in San Jose, said: "I think in general it's a BAD MISTAKE to have the police interested in anything other than the pursuit of justice"

Add the special interest pandering which further separated the PEOPLE from "LIFE, LIBERTY, HAPPINESS, EQUAL RIGHTS and JUSTICE". As a mater of fact JUSTICE became a commodity bought and sold by the wealth, powerful and well-connected.

NOTE: (Robert Ito in Los Angeles Magazine writes: "…YES, the $40 BILLION dollar private prison business is recession proof. The Corrections Corporation of America controlled 52% of the domestic market. Net income grew 75% in 1997, it's stock doubled…"

YEA! Ask Bob Barker about investing in the jail/prison industry. Bob Barker plastic soap dishes, jail shoes… and how can one strip down, bend over and COUGH without thinking of Bob Barker latex examination glovers?)

I am somebody who is ahead of his time but NEVER GETS CREDIT, spoact.blogspot.com

Why don't these folks just say there'll be a fill in host when there will be a fill in host? I mean ... really. What is the essence of the convoluted weirdness that continuously circulates through corporate media?

I'm searching for Klein's chart on "Numbers of Uninsured Covered" GOP vs ACA. Is there an Ezra Chart website? (there should be)

No, Ezra, Mitch McConnell is blunt, but that does not make him honest. He is the embodiment of the common meaning of 'stiff'; he is a wooden indian; he is a refugee from a Disney Animatronics history museum somewhere in Florida, but he is otherwise as two-faced, ignorant, and out-of-touch as all of the other players in the grand national theater known as The Republican Party, and his contribution to American politics is no more noteworthy. Perhaps you should leave 'irony' to the professionals.
