http://www.independent.ie/irish-news/news/sex-workers-abused-by-men-posing-as-gardai-30804939.html * How cartoonishly evil are Congressional Republicans? They hid a clause in the Defense Authorization Bill taking a sacred burial ground from the Apache to give to a mining company to desecrate even though that company sold uranium to Iran and the whole stealing a sacred burial ground from Native Americans who have already have so much stolen from them is blatantly evil.
* Congressional Republicans want to remind you that the Bush financial crash and recession was such a good thing for the 1% that it is crucial to repeal the reform designed to prevent that happening again. It is so important that the taxpayers bail rich people out when they destroy the economy that they, and a handful of spineless house Democrats voted to keep that in the budget extension bill. Now it's on to the senate, where the incompetent and spineless Harry Reid is blocking a vote to yank the Citigroup written and funded repeal. Can we replace that Scrotum, Harry Reid, with Sherrod Brown in senate leadership? Because we need an intelligent grown up with a spine next time.
* Republican Senator Tom Coburn hates our troops so much that he is single handedly blocking the Clay hunt Suicide Prevention Bill. After all, it saves money if we deny or combat veterans psychiatric care so that they literally kill themselves. This is what the Republicans mean when they say they are "supporting the Troops:" they literally want to deny them life saving medical care because they love wars, but hate the women and men who fight them, considering them parasites for wanting us to keep our promises of benefits to them. Remember, contracts with the rich are sacred, but contracts with ordinary people are wasteful entitlements. It's part of a pattern of extreme cruelty and a national shame.

* Yesterday I did a bunch of household things needing doing, had dinner with MrBumblepants, then set about packing up the ebays that sold for half of what they are worth, and the packages for what is left of my family. I need to do up another set of ebays including the exhausting task of making an imp packet up. I am not sanguine about the packages I'm sending out. Uncle John didn't answer my last letter. I am worried he moved again. No one from the family sent birthday stuff, except my sister who sent something I'd have liked if it wasn't half my size, so I could be spending money I need for gas and toilet paper on gifts to people who will send nothing back. I am being a grown up and doing it anyway. I'm something like $100.00 short on subsistence this month, which is an improvement, but next month will be terrible with the fees adding up due to the shortage and we haven't saved a dime for next property tax bill.
