My current book list is insane.
Finished “Profit Over People” by Noam Chomsky, which was fantastic. Chomsky is a fucking genius. I’m working on “The Speech” by Senator Bernie Sanders right now. Afterwards, I’m giving myself a break from non-fiction and focusing on “Damned” by Chuck Palahniuk. Then: it’s Aftershock by Reich, The Shock Doctrine by Klein, The Best Way To Rob a...

Sen. Bernie Sanders has proposed a constitutional amendment that would overturn the Supreme Court decision in a case called Citizens United vs. FEC.
The Saving American Democracy Amendment states that:
Corporations are not persons with constitutional rights equal to real people.
Corporations are subject to regulation by the people.

Reasons.
The GOP strategists and figureheads (Mike Huckabee, for example) have constantly told the Presidential hopefuls to stop talking about Bain. Why? Because incidents like Bain are the reason why the American Fall occurred. They realize that the lower classes are angry and that getting those angry people to vote for a man who laid off thousands of employees for no reason other than profit will be an...

People find it odd when I say that I feel like gay rights is my civil rights movement, mainly because I’m straight. But these are people. People I know. People I’ve seen suffer. People I love and cherish. So fucking help me, I will show the world that you don’t have to be the oppressed to see it’s happening and that it is disgustingly wrong. So help me, my gay, lesbian,...

Rest In Peace Troy Davis.
Apologies.
I’ve been terrible at keeping up with the blog. I had a mixed martial arts fight coming up in August, so I broke away for a while to work out more and get ready. I won that, and have now been offered a title shot. Plus, school started up again. So, I will do my best to get on when there is down time between training, work, school, and being social. Thank you.

Sarah Palin's reaction to the downgrade is...
“How cynical and dishonest must people be to blame the people who have been saying ‘Stop spending’”
Those same people were the ones complaining about taxing the rich…which is why S&P downgraded us in the first place.
Sarah Palin is just a constant source of hilarious stupidity.

The "Hip-Hop" Barbeque is true.
Isn’t that what all African Americans do? Get together, blast some rap music, and eat barbeque? As a Mexican American, when it’s my birthday, I put on my biggest sombrero, blast some tejano, eat some fajita tacos with beans, cheese, guacamole, hit a pinata, then cross a border or two. If I’ve been sipping on too much tequila, maybe THREE borders! /sarcasm

Four Days Until Economic Catastrophe.
House GOP is going to tank the economy. They need to create a crisis so people won’t realize how terrible of a job they’ve done. They ran on JOBS, JOBS, JOBS, and the only thing they’ve talked about is “Well, is that really rape?” And “No, the uterus is government property.” You want to know why they won’t compromise with the Democrats? “The...

Seven days to economic catastrophe
To the followers of this blog.
What happened in Norway is a horrible and terrifying tragedy. The evil and coldhearted tendencies of mankind often seem limitless, which is scary in it’s own. Yesterday, I reblogged a picture depicting the suspicions of politicians in America (or world?) assuming Muslim extremists set the attacks out, then backtracking when it was realized it was a white, Christian man. This will be the only...
