O’Donnell: Truly A Place For Her

From time to time….I read something that triggers some form of humor in my brain…granted sometimes I am the only one that see the humor………but I have to write!

“I am not a witch”  was the proclamation of candidate of Delaware GOP, Christine O’Donnell….even after she admitted to being at a coven meeting….but maybe she should stop denying the obvious and embrace her calling……in doing so there is a place for her in this world…..

Romania’s witches aren’t happy about a change in the country’s labor laws that makes witchcraft a recognized profession. The move, part of a crackdown on tax evasion, will make it harder for witches to avoid paying income tax, AP reports. One witch has threatened to cast a spell using black pepper and yeast to create discord in the country’s government as revenge.

It may be unpopular ruling or law……but at least they are now a recognized profession…..with that comes taxation and licenses…all the props one needs to be a legal entity….

With that ruling…..Christine O’Donnell does not have to fade a way into obscurity….she can just move and become a practicing witch…….then she will find the peace and the security from the establishment that she bitches about here….

What a great dream!  Sadly, that is all that it is…a dream of some form of normality in our nation…..sadly nothing like that will happen……take my word…….O’Donnell will return and we analyst will have our way with here….yet again……

What A Difference A Speech Makes

In my state of Mississippi, we are about to lose our beloved (not my beloved) governor, Haley Barbour and as with most other states the candidates are lining up to lead the state…..our Lt. Gov.  Phil Bryant (R) has announced his candidacy (like there was ever any doubt) and parts of his speech are below…..

Bryant said his campaign will be about “issues and ideas.”

“Let’s create the most job-friendly state in America to grow our economy now and for the future. By keeping taxes low, making sure lawsuit reform stays in place, and providing the right economic environment where businesses can grow and hire more employees, we’ll provide more opportunities for everyone.”

“We have to be innovative to redesign our educational system with a common sense approach to change,” Bryant stated. “By creating a skills-based curriculum in high schools, developing charter schools for failing school districts, and rewarding teachers for excellence, we’ll give our children a better chance for success in the future.”

“We must stop Obamacare and control the growth of health care costs on our state budget,” Bryant continued. “We can make Mississippi a healthier place by working together with health care providers and research institutions to tackle heart disease and diabetes.”

“Most importantly, we must always stand up for our conservative values of faith and family, the right to life, protecting our Second Amendment rights and fighting illegal immigration,” Bryant said.

I heard the speech and re-read it several times…..straight out of a GOP playbook…screw working people and keep the wealthy, wealthy…..same song…different liar……

We in the state have been promised jobs if we keep taxes low….so far we have low paying jobs and lots of bills because there is NO revenue through taxes…..then there is the education thing….which if it were not so sad would be a good joke……this promised has been made decades and the state still has one of the country’s worst education systems….this will not change…..education is of NO concern to the Repubs……health care……another GOP punch line…….they want the industry to work with government to help the people…..that has worked so well that Mississippi is at the bottom of the states on health care….another silly piece of lying……and then there is the family, faith, guns and immigrants…all GOP talking points……on and on….but the reality is that NOTHING will change for the state in the next eight years……we will be industry friendly, low wages, sickly and under-educated….but on the bright side….we will have our guns, hate immigrants and be able to pray on Sundays…all the things that rednecks live for…..I feel so lucky to be in the presence of greatness!
