Oh (No) to be in Texas…

By Eclectablog on April 15, 2009 in Bwahahahahaha

Well, it looks like I picked a great fucking week to be in Texas. Looks like they are seceding from the nation.

Great.

As usual, Wonkette describes it best:

Texas Gov. Rick Perry is such a badass, right, and he doesn’t like it when those incompetent fucktards in Washington start fucking around with his Texas fucking budget. Ever heard of the 10th Amendment, about how states are responsible for powers not granted to the federal government? Well go suck a dick, Obama, cause Rick Perry went out of his way today to support a non-binding House resolution that fucking says right there, right there on the first page, that the 10th Amendment is… just a really good Amendment, motherfuckers.…

Who Said THAT???! – Supreme Edition

By Eclectablog on April 13, 2009 in Uncategorized

This edition of Who Said THAT???! brings us a quote from a person who holds a supreme position of judgment. That fact makes this quote particularly bizarre to my sane mind.

“I have to admit,” he said, “that I’m one of those people that still thinks the dishwasher is a miracle. What a device! And I have to admit that because I think that way, I like to load it. I like to look in and see how the dishes were magically cleaned.”

Who said THAT???! Click HERE to find out.

I’m just sayin’…

Sparty On! – A Bit of Cheer for a State of Depression

By Eclectablog on April 4, 2009 in Eclectalife

It’s a bright sunny day in southeastern Michigan today. Yeah, we’re reeling from 12+% unemployment. Yeah, our automotive companies are the latest whipping boy for what’s wrong with the U.S economy. Yeah, our two biggest newspapers are not even delivering every day of the week anymore.

But today, for one day (or hopefully TWO!), we’re putting that all aside to shout with one unanimous voice:

SPARTY ON!!!

As NBC’s Mike DeCourcy wrote last week:

Michigan could use a little levity right now, as you know. The state’s economy is a disaster. It’s in an eight-year depression, and counting. President Obama’s work on the auto industry bailout was the headline item on Google News as the Spartans were finishing off their dissection of the Cardinals, as Izzo was subbing in his walk-ons and deep reserves to allow them to say they played in the Elite Eight.…

Obama Returning Early From G-20 Summit

By Eclectablog on April 1, 2009 in Bwahahahahaha, Obama

Cross-posted at The Daily Kos.
Citing his need to be well-rested for Saturday’s Final Four games which begin at 6:00 p.m. Eastern, President Barack Obama today announced that he will be returning early from the G-20 Summit in Europe. Additionally, he has cancelled all visits with leaders of various countries around the world including Britain, Russia, China, India and South Korea.

“While we appreciate the historic nature of the President’s first visit to Europe since his election,” said White House Press Secretary Robert Gibbs, “This year’s Final Four is just too exciting for him to miss. He needs to be well-rested so that he can join with millions and millions of other Americans as they watch the best young basketball players in the country vie for the title of National Champion.…

NOW Try to Tell Me the GOP Aren’t Complete Idiots

By Eclectablog on March 27, 2009 in Bwahahahahaha, Politics

Allow me to just say this:

BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!

UPDATE: The Washington Independent is reporting that the new GOP “budget” raises taxes on many Americans. Well, except the rich, of course…
While reporters hooted at the comically simplistic charts and lack of details in the House Republican leadership’s budget plan, the green eyeshade types at Citizen’s for Tax Justice crunched the numbers (PDF). They conclude that a quarter of all households, most of them poor, would pay more taxes under the GOP plan, while the richest one percent would pay $100,000 less.

I’m just laughin’…

Goldman Sachs Robs Us in Broad Daylight – Thanks May I Have Another?

By Eclectablog on March 27, 2009 in Uncategorized

Cross-posted at The Daily Kos.

The other day, I had a blog entry about how Goldman Sachs was planning on returning their TARP bailout money this week. My diary was about how they were complaining about operating in “this environment” and how I thought they should STFU and deal with it because intense oversight & scrutiny is their new reality.

However, after reading a bunch of the comments and reflecting on it, I’ve seen another side to this that makes me smack my forehard HARD! and go “DUH! It’s so OBVIOUS what they’re doing! How could I have missed it???!”

They’re robbing us in broad daylight.…
