Riots and recalls and downgrades oh my!!!

The world seems to have slightly lost it's mind since the end of last week. In the UK, London (and several other cities) appear to be on fire. The reason (apparently) is that the Black community still has an issue with The Fuzz shooting unarmed men to death. Seems a bit strange bearing in mind that is an almost weekly occurence here in the land of the free* (actual 'freedom' may vary based upon religious belief, sexual orientation, colour of skin and/or State of residence)...

In the US of A the debt was downgraded, the stock market lost it's fucking mind and crashed out the nearest window, and the Speaker of the House (Sir John of Orange) got temporary amnesia. How else do you explain his press release after the news came out about S&P's downgrade that it was 'because the Democrats are in control in Washington'? Either he quit his job, there was a secret election and the Dems took back the House and no-one noticed, or he's a bald-faced fucking liar. (Hint, for those of you playing along at home, the answer is 'he's a bald-faced fucking liar').

But with all of this madness and mayhem going on there may be a small glimmer of hope. In the State of Wisconsin, which was Koch-punched last fall by a bunch of teabagging neanderthals that tried to roll that state's labour laws back to the 18th century, they are holding recall elections today of 6 republican State Senators. Despite the best efforts of the right-wing Koch-suckers in the Cheesehead State, who were unsuccessful in derailing the primary efforts of the Wis. Dems by running "fake" Dem candidates, today could mark the day when some semblance of sanity returns to that State. If the recalls are successful, a major road-block will be thrown up against the Tea-bagging agenda of the boss-eyed git that currently occupies the Statehouse there.

Here's hoping we finally get some good news on the political front, and get solid proof that the average Joe has had just about enough of these Teabagging morons and their self-defeating, extremist agenda.

Let's go Wisconsin!!! Recall them all!!!!
