Political Carnival Spring Fund Raiser

pleasehelpdog

As you know, Paddy has mounting doctor bills, and TPC has mounting TPC bills.

We recently tried to update the look and mechanics of The Political Carnival, but ended up running into so many tech issues that we had to stop, go back to our old look, and hire someone to help us find our way out of our technical house of mirrors.

Which brings us to this:

hand out for money donationsWe’re long overdue for our quarterly fundraiser, mainly because we are so reluctant to have our hands out, but, as Nickelodeon used to say, “A kid’s gotta do what a kid’s gotta do.”

So if you are able, if you are so inclined, please donate. Paddy, Lucian, and I have expenses up to our collective chins and can’t do this without your help.

Thank you ahead of time for your consistent kindness and generosity. Without you, there would be no us.

Enough Already

It’s bad enough that for the past five years, Congress, led by the Republicans has failed in their duties to provide us with the services they were elected to give us.

Instead, they have lied, stonewalled, blocked, sabotaged filibustered, prevented job growth, killed sane gun control, and generally driven this country into the toilet. A comfortable place for the old, white, hacks of that party, but not for the rest of us.

What we got instead is no immigration plan, no tax reform, a gigantic fiscal cliff, more tax relief for the rich, less air quality restrictions, a phony Benghazi scandal, a made-up IRS bruhaha, and a cut back in social services, especially for the poor. On a scale of 1 to 10, Congress is mining record negative numbers and falling fast.

Oh, one other thing they did do — actually 30+ time now — they voted on bills to void or vacate the Affordable Healthcare Act. 36 Votes. Are you crapping me?

When are these asshats going to get it. We want action on pressing matters, not political issues… We want fairness, not partisanship.

Isn’t it about time we start taking names and arm ourselves with our votes to see to it that these lackies and political slackers are driven from office? Let’s start at the top. Boehner, McConnell, and work our way down as they come up for re-election.

Let’s stop rewarding obstructionism. Get with the program. Down with asshats — let’s “Dump the chump!”
