Introducing Bambi, SpecialOps' new puppy, keeping Iraq cute.



Slow newsday here in the Kiosk Under The Light At The End Of The Tunnel™.


Maybe.

I mean, some soldiers getting a new puppy and all aside, i just can't pick a proper carwreck out for allz'yallz. So i went to FuckedCompany to check in on the current corporate corpse count calendar.


A wholey-owned sub-blog of the Oligonomy Capitalist System.

No help from the cheerleaders of internet marketing, i guess. Usually one's adversaries provide ample fodder for straw men to disembowel in lieu of having a an insightful or even coheirant point, but Pud's different like that.


He's just so...likeable.

Marketing. Neccesary Evil, rooted in Money. Exhorbitantly demanding of it's own recompense for it's Labor, which consists of busking and hooking target consumers for the overall Profit of the Client. Clients may be Neccesary Evil, Luxury Evil, or just plain old Mom-And-Pop type Evil.

J/K. They can be Neutral Evil, too. Like me, only with money. Like PBS. W/e. We're boardin'.


Pud - Fuck


Well, that'll show the Oligopsomy a thing or two about Internet Commerce and Intellectual Property, huh?

Forward along the Great Shinning Uncharted Path Leading From The End Of The Tunnel!

America, stop fucking around.

Look, if you're not going to own your vote in the presidential election, which you don't seem to want to do, you're going to have to attack the cycle of aristocratic carreerism that perpetuates the corrupt cronyism of American One-Two Party Politics™ at the Legislative level. The logic of term limits is undeniable. Allowing Federal legislators to pursue careers makes them into politicians instead of statesmen. It turns a civic duty into a mealticket. It provides a throne for dynastic ambition, and makes those who sit upon it more concerned with maintaining the position than actually doing their job, thus they use the power of the position to insure thier continued tenure. This paradoxically engenders both partisan polemics and centrist infidelity, as the career politicians seek to curry the favor of current idealogue pundits while maintaining a status-quo of overall inaction.

All of this would change if the prize of re-election was removed. Mandating limits of 1 term for Senators and 3 for Representatives would allow 6 years for the office holder to concentrate on doing the job they were elected to do while removing the means to perpetuate careerism.

It's Common Sense.

Look at your "representatives". They have betrayed all the popular interests that put the there, both Democrat and Republican. The war drags on, with no end in sight. The borders remain open, the immigration reform promised to the GOP is bogged down in endless committee. Carl Rove remains free to dance the Cabbage Patch at whim. Marriage is still open to interpretive legislation by individual states, and social security remains on the "to-do" list with the rest of the buerocratic bungles and unsorted piles of red tape that pass for government agencies. This "to-do" list will continue to grow, since it provides an endless source of talking points and strawman pillaries while justifying continued funding of commitees, study groups and programs purporting to be "solutions".

New lamps for old, full of the same snake-oil that stunk up the place with obscuring clouds of black smoke to begin with.

Throw the bums out.
