Good morning America! You know how I can tell it’s Monday? I just tried to spell “morning” moring, mornng, and mroining. Yeah, it sounds like it’s gonna be a great day. 

It seems like today, there is no news. So, what else does American news agencies do? they MAKE the news. Fantastic… 

The only thing worse than basically no news is the fabrication of news. 

You remember in high school and college when you had an essay due and you had no idea what to write about and just kinda said “fuck it, let’s just BS it.”? That’s what almost every news agency has done. 

The front page story of the  huffingtonpost.com was 

RICHEST AMERICANS SEE FEDERAL TAXES DROP DRAMATICALLY 
It’s not like we have been hearing about this for weeks now. How about an original story and not some god forsaken re-run? 

My main point is this. There is no news and I’m tired of news agencies making news. Grow up people. 

 

There will be no morning article or mid-day article. 

I happened to be perusing the past week or so of the past week or so of the huffingtonpost.com and I stumbled up a great little website called http://www.politifact.com/truth-o-meter/. I highly suggest it. It keeps track of all the various promises different politicians make and makes sure they follow through with them. Also, it tracks all the statements made by any politician to make sure they are factual. They actually have a neat graphic for it all as well. 

As you can tell, I am already a fa. I HIGHLY suggest you go check it out.  

As apart of the American people, I can see how our government is capable of such in action. The ironic part is, we are the ones responsible. We constantly flip flop between what we want. We can’t stand the fact that the Democrats refuse to act on their promises and we hate what the Republicans do. So, we flip flop every few years on what we want. This ultimately leads to the lack of ANYTHING being able to get done in our government. It’s like when a sports team fires their coach after one bad season. We as humans are not perfect. Therefore, we tend to screw up every now and then. If we let our Congressmen screw up, respond to the screw up, but still let them stay in office, it will allow for a consistency in government. This will allow things to actually get down over time. As we all know, America has one slow political system. If we change everything up every few years, this basically starts the whole process over again. What America needs is consistency. Maybe then, something will actually get done. 

However, the problem with this, is that there there would be a lack of repercussions for our Congressmen/women for what we deem as screw ups. We could make our voices heard, but there should be action after the fact. 

So, all in all, there needs to be consistency, but also action after so many screw ups. We as the American people need to see how to mesh the two.   

Well, time to go to your local McDonalds, Subway, or In n Out Burger and grab a bite. Hell, you may just be warming up last night’s ketchup and noodles aka your wife’s attempt at making a decent dinner. Either way, while you are waiting in line for the burger or for the microwave, here’s a little more on the issue I brought up before. 
  As, I said before, all the Republicans have seemed to accomplish in 100 days is a lot of fighting and a lot of people running around like chickens with their heads cut off worrying about the government shutting down. 
However, as you can remember, the Democrats usually don’t get anything done either. As I’ve heard it put before, “Democrats don’t do crap, but the Republicans do what we don’t want.” So, it seems like either way at this stage of American Politics,  Americans are screwed. Even if you vote for an Independent, they have to eventually vote one way or another in order to get anything even close to what they want passed. 
So, the question becomes, “What do we do about this?” The sad part is, there isn’t a damn thing we can do about it. We can scream and holler all we want about what we want our government todo. However, they will continue to sit around, argue and get fat off our tax dollars. 
Let me make this clear, I, in no shape, way or form, want anarchy. What I want and what the American people need is a group of people to go into Congress and actually GET SOMETHING DONE. 
Now isn’t that a novel idea?  Politicians who actually do something. 

However, now that I reflect on that statement, that would be like use car salesmen being truthful. That would just be too scary…

It’s time to rise and shine (or at least shave off the 5 o’clock shadow), America. Grab your Cappuccino Mocha Espresso Lattes from Starbucks, a bagel or doughnut from your Dunking Donuts, and hit the road!

While you are in gridlock, aka American water torture, read on to find out what is going on in the world today.

So, the Republicans have had a 100 days in the House, so time for a pop quiz:

1) What have they done so far?
A) Renamed themselves to the Say-No Party
B) Cut taxes for the middle and lower class and raise them for the upper class.  

C) Gotten the hell outta Dodge and said ‘Screw it!’

D) Bickered over a budget deal and FINALLY passed one, yet have done nothing else.  


If you said D, you were  CORRECT. You win a…. let’s see….. here, take a piece of my doughnut. NOT THAT BIG OF A PIECE. Christ… 

The Republican’s have so far had 100 days in office, however, they have almost done nothing with it. Instead, they have sat there, twiddled their thumbs, talked about the Constitutionality  of Obama-care and ALMOST shut down the government (TWICE!). 

You know what, they should have just gotten ‘A’ out of the way already. After all, the first step in fixing a problem is admitting you have one to begin with.  

Before I even begin to talk about politics, let me set them things straight about this here tumblr:

• I will state my own opinions. Get over it. 
• There will be 4 main entries everyday (if I get around to them all.) Those include: A Cup of Joe, a Bagel, and the News, That Damn Lunch Line, The 5 O’Clock Road Rage, and finally the Sleeping Pill. 
• If there happens to be major news during the day, I’ll see to it as I see fit. 
• Do NOT expect me to be political correct.
