Friday Follies: Meh Edition

Sorry gang, I'm just not feeling it today. I know it's friday and all that, but this week has felt like a full-on assault on fairplay and reason. The SCrOTUS has made sure that Corporate America knows they are loved with a very friendly hand-job for Wal-Mart whilst simultaneously fucking over one and a half million women that had sued them for discrimination whilst working there. The Governors of Wisconsin and Florida continue with their scorched-earth policy towards the blue-collar workers, the poor and the down-trodden by taking away their benefits and their right to organize to have them given back. A homeless man was so ill that he "robbed" a bank of $1 so that he would get sent to jail and finally get health care. Georgia passed an anti-immigration bill so repulsive migrant workers are boycotting the state meaning that the farmers ever-ripening crops are not getting picked and could wind up costing the state hundreds of millions of dollars.

Actually that last one makes me smile a little bit...

Think about it, if all those migrants were taking jobs a way from Americans, why are there any vacancies at all? I mean, according to the racist fucks that use immigrants and migrant workers as their political whipping boys, those jobs should be filled by happy, smiling, white Americans, no? Apparently, not so much. Maybe now those backward-ass, toothless cousin-fuckers in the Georgia Legislature will finally figure out that the reason the immigrants were doing those back-breaking jobs for 10 hours a day for minimum wages and no health benefits, wasn't because they wanted to, but because their pasty-faced, stars-n-bars flag-waving constituents are too goddamned lazy, or too goddamned fat to get off their couches and go do it themselves...

Karma can be such a bitch...

Have a great weekend you all!!
