The Moocher Class; Corporate Edition and a Serious Right-Wing Flip-Flop

There are some large corporations which do not pay any income tax, including Boeing, American Electric Power, Duke Energy, Tenet Healthcare, General Electric, Consolidated Edison, Wisconsin Energy, Verizon, Ryder, and others.

No telling whether or not Stench is going to get them to take any responsibility for their existence.

On another note, you can find no shortage of Wingnuts (including Stench) who are decrying that the Obama Administration isn't funneling arms to the Syrian rebels. Some of those Chickenhawks want American troops on the ground there. Some of them are the same clowns who advocated for the same thing during the Libyan rebellion.

And yet, it's now easy to find Wingnuts who are decrying the Arab Spring revolts for deposing tyrants who were sort of friendly to American interests. So within weeks of Bashir Assad eventual fleeing Syria (or being quickly executed like Ceausescu), expect to hear from Right-Wing "serious thinkers" who will argue that we should have supported Assad.

All of them have also conveniently forgotten the "freedom agenda" of George W. Bush, where he tried to push Arab governments to transform themselves into democracies.

Stench, I told You So: Your Family Is Not Helping You

Not when your wife goes on the radio and basically states that as First Lady, it would be a full-time job for her to keep you from going bughouse-grade crazy.

Asked what her primary worry would be should her husband succeed in defeating President Obama on Nov. 6, Mrs. Romney replied, "You know, I think my biggest concern, obviously, would just be for his mental well-being."

Crimus, can't you see the headlines from that one?

Ann Romney Fears for Mitt's Mental Health if He Wins

Romney's Wife Afraid He Will Go Crazy as President

Between that and the news that the Romneybot is uploading "zingers" to use in the debate, one has to wonder if there is anyone left in the Romney camp, other than the `bot, who thinks that they still have a shot at this thing.

Caturday

There are a lot of soft places where Jake can sleep, places where there is room for him to stretch out, if he wishes.

But he was sleeping here:

Sweet Jesus, How Does AT&T Manage to Be Consistently Customer-Unfriendly?

AT&T initially signed me up for "paperless billing". Well, I'm not going to sign up for automatic bill pay or any of that shit, so I had to print out the statement for the coupon to mail off my payment.

This is what I discovered: AT&T set the print requirement for that to 14" paper. Hardly anyone, other than New York lawyers, still use legal-sized paper. I couldn't get Acrobat to accept printing it out on 11" paper. AT&T cleverly put the mail-in coupon at the bottom of the page. So when I tried to print it out, no go.

I ended up taping two pieces of paper together to make a jury-rigged sheet long enough to get that stinking coupon.

And I set my preferences to paper billing.

You incompetent bunch of morons.

Or do you deliberately sit around a conference table and dream up ways to make your customers' lives difficult? What drunken genius thought this one would be funny? I bet they imagined that someone would accidentally put the tape on the wrong side of the paper and have it fuse to their laser printer's drum. Those bastards probably laughed themselves silly over that one.

Your Family Is Not Helping You, Stench

This guy explains why:

Polls

Stench and his butt-monkeys water-carriers at Fox are whining about the polls.

It is a sign of desperation or blind ignorance to go out, do sampling, and throw out the results because one doesn't like them. Polling isn't exactly rocket science anymore.

The thing is, if the Republicans had their own private polling data that showed that Romney was on a path of victory, they would be releasing them. But they aren't, which implies that their own polling data is as dismal as the public polling data.

Thanks, in part, to Romney's "47% of the people in this country are moochers" crack, Stench is now more unpopular than Dubya. Romney potentially has billions in Super-PAC money that might come to his aid (between the Koch brothers and Sheldon Adelson, who is allegedly trying to avoid an investigation that could financially gut him), but even those guys may not be crazy enough to gamble that kind of money with the current odds facing Romney. Not when they can try to flood some Senate races to try and flip that back or maybe fund enough commercials to keep the House in GOP hands.

Still, a lot can happen in 39 days. But when someone is far down in the hole and tries to save the day on one final gamble, usually they're going back home by Greyhound.

Mossie!!

One of them is flying again!

Hey, Stench, How's Your Campaign Going?

I might have to see about changing my label for Rmoney from "Flip-flop Mitt" to "the Stench."

Yes, I know it was satire, but it's the kind of satire that could stick to Stench like, well, a stench. And a lot of people fell for it.

Insufficient Head

Every so often, my toilet doesn't flush properly. Rather than plunge it, now I wait for the water level to tricke down to normal and then, using a bucket, I pour water into it from about two feet up. And it flushes.

That sort of suggests to me that the toilet tank isn't generating enough head pressure when it flushes.

Indeed

I think Republicans are watching their political lives flash before their eyes.

On another note, now that the deadline has passed for Todd "Legitimate Rape" Akin to withdraw from the Missouri Senate race, care to bet how long it will be before the GOP moneybags, who swore that they wouldn't fund his campaign, change their minds?
