Quote of the day (from a few days ago):
Like the college students who stayed up late to be inspired by his campaign rallies only to find Obama's first significant action to be a stimulus program that will transfer about a trillion dollars from them to the Baby Boomers, Silicon Valley Obama supporters are likely to find that a government-dominated economic era will not a great one in which to start companies that threaten big incumbent corporations that have juice with the government. I hope they appreciate the irony.No shit, and I'm a boomer myself.
So a hearty and heartfelt multiple fuck off to (in no particular order):
Self-indulgent cretins who spend beyond their means and expect the rest of us to bail them out
Corrupt Congresspukes. See the this comment. Fuckers.
And I don't care if some of the corrupt bastards gave the money to charity or gave it back (AFTER the mofos got caught). As the Puppy Blender said, returning the money doesn't mean you weren't in bed with him, it's just laundering the sheets, after.
The entire California legislature, both parties. Just fucking go away before you do any more damage.
Every single one of the tax cheats in the Obama Administration. Yeah, they finally paid up (no penalties or prison time like we little people would get).
And a special fuck off to Barney Frank and Chris Dodd. I don't know that they're the worst of the bunch but they're certainly the most prominent faces of corruption currently in the news. Oh yeah, and Charlie Rangel. In a rational world, they'd all be sharing a prison cell.
Oh, and let's not forget the public sector unions. I want them DESTROYED, expecially the SEIU and the teachers' unions.
Take it away, folks.

I don't know which I want to have FO more this week, the stupid entitled Special Snowflakes who do stupid and dangerous things that endanger other people (like driving drunk) or the busybodies who come in their wake and suggest that we MUST have new legislation on the books to protect us from those Special Snowflakes (like increased DUI checkpoints giving cops more power to stop and detain citizens), which result in the law-abiding folks who are NOT Stupid Special Snowflakes being further put out.
They can both FO, in my book. What I'd like to do, is have both groups sent to a deserted island where they can eternally harass each other, leaving the rest of us alone.
That said, anyone who drives drunk can totally and utterly Eff Off, and if they wind up killing anyone as a result, it should be them and them only.
Ken and Ricki have excellent fuck offs this week, so I second them.
May pot-stirers everywhere fuck off with a long handled ladle dipped in jalapeno anti-freeze. I stirred up vats of steaming hot shit coming from all kinds of different directions right now, and I am feeling a little pissed off at the ladle-yielding, two-faced nosy jackasses serving it up.
That should read I "HAVE"...I am not the one doing the stirring.
A minor one this week: idiots who drive with their foglights on when it's not foggy can FTFO! I can't help but think that wasting energy like that means you're compensating for something....
wv: slyer, as in, "You'd be SLYER if you didn't use the freaking FOGLIGHTS!"
OTOH, Julie, one thing I can't stand are the idiots who think they're saving oh-so-much gas by not putting their headlights on after dusk.
Look, I know it's not DEAD dark out, but you drive a gray truck and it is twilight. Please be willing to spend the few drops of gas so I can see you coming.
Fuck off to the proposed "one time only" FDIC fee that will pound the responsible banks that have not gone, and will not be going, insolvent. You fucktards, that's punishing the responsible, profitable, SMALL banks.
And will also, by the way, open the door to other government entities charging "one time only fees" on we, the people. And, like your stinking turd of an idea, will hit the little guys harder than the "rich" you claim to hate.
After all, the rich donate to their political funds. Can't be hitting them too hard now, or they won't keep your political careers alive, huh?
I don't have any good fuck offs today. I've actually decided that I'm just going to sit back and enjoy the ride.
The whole world is going to shit: pass the Cuban cigars, the Newcastle, the ganga, and the ammo.
Ken, I blame you for this (see my post at the Fifth String)...
I have one very basic fuck off to issue. A very heartfelt fuck off to the dipshits who do not understand what a MARGINAL fucking tax rate is. Seriously, I'm hearing about all these dumbfucks who have decided to work less to drop down a fucking tax bracket. Are you fucking stupid, people? We are talking about four fucking percent on dollars 250,001 and above. Look, I get that taxes fucking suck, they really do. But what's the fucking alternative? Try reading Thomas Hobbes sometime: short, cruel, and brutish motherfuckers. Yeah, it sucks that you would only be getting 60.5 cents on the dollar instead of 65 cents on the dollar, but that's the reason to make a fucking stand? Seriously get a fucking clue.
Also, have you ever stopped to fucking think that maybe, just maybe, you work too fucking much? That we, as a society, work too fucking much? Do you really think man was meant to be caged up under florescent lights for a third of his fucking life? How about instead of bitching about how you now have to pay an extra four cents on the fucking dollar for income that is five times the median income for the entire fucking country, how about you start spending the fucking money? Stimulate the fucking economy, go on a fucking vacation, get a hotel room, get a hooker and a pound of coke, but stop fucking bitching at me.
Taxes are taxes, and they do add up fast enough to be felt, even at that rate of income.
On the other hand, the government can fuck off for taxing the rich to the point where they're not willing to go on that vacation, rent that hotel room, hire that hooker, etc.
Or start a new small business that provides jobs for the increasing number of unemployed.
The government can also fuck off for raising the tax rates on these people because, for many of them that do own small businesses, they pay the businesses' income taxes from their personal income taxes. And when their income shrinks, the first thing they do to shrink their margins is...
...yup, you guessed it...
,,,fire some of their workers.
So, yes, the government can fuck the fuck off for their "soak the rich" mentality, with the entire 1000+ page stimulus bill rolled up and crammed up their gnat's anus-sized asshole, with the same bulldozer that Nancy Pelosi used to shove it up ours.
And then they can wait in the same lines for access to the lines for medical help in removing it that they want to foist on the rest of us.
You said it, Ken. I don't know how you few sane people in California stand it.
Switching to Daylight Savings Time can fuck off. I always hate the transition, but even more this year because it's fucking MARCH. I don't care about the "but you get an extra hour a daylight in the evening argument"--some of us need light in the morning to drag ourselves out of bed and it's gonna be way dark in the a.m. I work most evenings, anyway.
But KG, especially in light of that particular post, your two paragraphs contradict each other. Yeah, I think some people (like me) work too much and probably should cut back on hours. But, again going back to that post, try this one:
Is it fair for people working 60-80 hours a week to cut back to 40 and make less money so that they pay less in taxes?
And yes, I for one understand marginal tax rates. This particular issue doesn't apply to me because I'm exempt, so my extra 20 or whatever hours a week doesn't bring extra income (only more assurance that my company prospers, possibly bringing more value to my currently underwater stock and potential stock options, not to mention the fact that I'm nowhere NEAR that level), but for those professionals who get more income for more work it matters a great deal that every extra dollar they bring in is worth less because of the tax bite.
Aside from that, the other problem with your comment is the idea being floated that those above a certain income level may lose deductions. That is a BIG deal if implemented in a simplistic way, as is done with the AMT.
But the biggest problem with this whole mess is that they are using a "crisis" to pass garbage that not only mortgages my children's future, but grows the government ever larger and more intrusive, and enriches the politicians' coffers at the expense of the rest of us.
Amen, Ken.
Kate, I really don't have much problem with DST itself. It doesn't really save energy (the purported reason for it) but I kind of like having late evening daylight in summer.
But the idea of year-round (as happened when I was in high school) is simply stupid. Kids had to walk to school in the dark and kids with first period PE had to go to gym in the dark.
But this moving by two or three weeks can FUCK THE FUCK OFF AND DIE. Now I have to manually change all the "automatic" things (VCRs, etc.) in the house TWICE in the spring and TWICE in the fall. And I calculated (back of the envelope estimate) that it cost my company at least $10,000.
All of those stupid creeps in Congress who voted for this crap should be flogged, then forced to come over to my house to change them. TWICE.
WV: "hitype" - many of the types I met in college.
Ken: "I kind of like having late evening daylight in summer."
Summer, yes, but right now? No, thanks. And thanks for reminding me to change the TV, too.
WV: "freqrx"--people I roomed with in college.
The rusty fucks who keep postponing the go-generic date of my medicine. First August. Then December. Now March.
Of course my insurance company who won't pony up the fucking dough in the first place. The drug I need is a TRI-fucking-FECTA drug. It takes care of THREE FUCKING conditions in one. Yet you uninformed, corner-cutting, bureaucratic fucksticks want me to take THREE separate drugs instead of the one that FUCKING WORKS. The three drugs you want me to take, the COST OF WHICH EXCEEDS THE COST OF THE ONE THAT FUCKING WORKS FOR ME.
You people FUCKING SUCK HAIRY FUCKING MOOSE COCKS. Go have a circle jerk in Hell with Nancy Pelosi's pearls strangling you.
Kate, not right now. Two weeks from now, as God (and Ben Franklin) intended.
WV: "hibir" -
...
...
...
I got nuthin'.
Isn't "hibir" how you greet a pint?
NORM!
My grandmother died today. I can't come up with anything to say.
OMG LD! I'm so sorry to hear, sweetie. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.
Ken, I guess it's just the whole idea of "going Galt", I tend to file it under: Nose; Face; Spite.
LD: my condolences.
Oh, Laura's Daughter, I'm sorry.

I had forgot that DST comes this weekend. Hot, blinding hate. I don't mind it in the summer but in March it's insane. It had just NOW got light when I left the house for work; now I will once again be plunged into darkness when I drive over (sharing the road with idiots who think that not turning on headlights saves gas).
The cold clammy hand of congress reaches out to slap me once again.
As for the tax thing: another thing that can FTFO is when people talk about raising taxes on manufacturers and oil companies. You really, really think they're going to let their profit margin (which for some is tiny anyway) shrink by that added tax?
NO of course not. The price of everything will go up yet again, and Jane and John Q. Public will get the "privilege" of paying this new tax.
And actually, KG, I do tend to agree we all work too damn much. Even people like me who love our jobs. Yesterday evening was the first night this week I got home before 5:30 pm, and I go to work between 6:30 and 7 am. But I don't know what to suggest, because I think part of the reason people work so damn long is that taxes are too high. (And the reason lots of mothers work - I mean mothers who'd rather be home with their kids - is that taxes are crazy high).
KG, point taken. No one is ACTUALLY going John Galt (maybe there are a few gulchers out there). But a fair number of people are refusing to work as hard just to prop up deadbeats and corrupt politicians.
Which was also something I didn't think to say last night. It's not just the tax margin, it's the part about the extra taxes being used to bail out others or to subsidize ACORN or line John Murtha's pockets. The whole "tea party" thing is not just about higher taxes, it's about what the taxes are for.
