President Obama again Fails to Grow a Pair
Yes, that US chamber of Commerce. You know, these guys:
According to tax records unearthed by Bloomberg News, the health insurance lobby secretly gave $86.2 million to the U.S. Chamber of Commerce in 2009 to try to prevent the health care bill from becoming law. This year, the chamber raised nearly $33 million in secret donations for political ads in the midterm elections, almost all of which was used to elect Republicans who have vowed to repeal the health care law.
So they spend over $100million to try and derail you, time to fight back, right?
After months of all-out political war with the nation's most powerful business lobby, President Obama appears to be on the verge of launching a dramatic peace offering to the president and CEO of the U.S. Chamber of Commerce, Tom Donohue.
Sure, why the hell not go make a speech at their little shindig? Maybe if you're really super nice to them, they'll stop picking on you! Have you really still not figured out that there is no "peace offering," no olive branch, no appeasement you can offer these guys that they will not spit on then smack you in the face with? How are you the only person in the world who does not get that?
The only way this speech idea makes any sense is if A: the speech contains the phrase "go to hell you little rat bastards!" or B: if you go Samson on them - you know, like the guy in the Grateful Dead song, just pull the whole building down on their heads.
Just promise me you'll think about it.
The Disgraceful State of the Media
Seriously, there is nothing funny about Bush and Harris stealing an election.
Why are they looking back at this nostalgically like "boy, those were the days, huh? Remember how Jeb Bush, Katherine Harris and the Supreme Court drove a stake through the heart of Democracy? Good times!"

A Personal Story: Red
This story is so wonderfully inspirational – it’s from a woman who lost the color in her life, and how she got it back.
Oh, that might be interesting, let's hear the story.
It was March 17, 2001. To many, it was just another Saturday. For me, it was the day I surrendered to a world of sameness. I changed the color of my nails from the perfect shade of red to a simple, but quiet, French manicure.
What? That's how you lost your color? You changed nail polish? How is that. . . you know what, forget it. I've already lost interest. I can't imagine even marlo finds this story the least bit interesting.
I love this story about recovering your vibrancy, your zest. Have you ever had a time in your life when you felt as if you'd lost your own red? How did you get it back I can't wait to hear from you.
Love,
Oooookayyyyy. . . if you're like Marlo and you find this sort of self-indulgent tripe fascinating, you can read the rest of the story here: LINK Although, you can also get there by clicking on the ad Ms. Thomas has placed on the Irritant. Then she has to pay me a couple of bucks. Something to consider!
And speaking of self-indulgent drivel, here's one of Ms Thomas's most popular articles:

My Favorite Nail Style: French Manicure - Marlo Thomas
I love the way my nails look when they have a fresh new manicure, and I indulge in a mani/pedi as often as I can. I never use color polish, because it's so noticeable when it chips off – and I'm so busy that it always does
Oh, my God seriously? Busy? Busy doing what? Trying to exhume your acting career? (zing!)
