Into The Abyss
This week the Democrats in ratsville are putting Full Johnson's on wavering party members to try to get them to embrace the Death Care package.
Lyndon Johnson (one the few presidents to have a body part named after him) when confronted by a Republican or especially a recalcitrant Democrat, would bring that person close in to old LBJ's body, like a big Texas hug, and before they knew it, the congressman was in Lyndon's death grip. This was the Full Johnson; where the big, tall, fat, president would enclose the not yet cooperating politician into his loving arms, and then squeeze. Not enough to kill, but enough that the 36th president of the United States meant business. "You see things my way now, senator, am I right on that? Now you go on and vote right, y'hear?"
Dear Leader don't play that, but he and his associates in the crime capital of the world, Washington, D.C. are putting on the pressure on just the handful of Democrats who could make this bill law, or bring it down. What with rides in Air Force One, lunch in the oval office, skinny dippin' in the White House pool, perhaps even a wink or two about how this or that pol could be set up in Vegas real nice, the leadership of the party is going all out.
They realize that they have damned themselves to a big loss of members in the November elections. The folks who voted for Obama as punishment for the Republican lies and corruption during the Bush reign of terror, I do not think, ladies, intended to install Leon Trotsky into the White House. So if the Democrats can squeeze this bill through, which will change our country from a great power that has lost its way, to another France or Holland, albeit a big'un, they can wait this whole thing out. And when the Republicans fuck up down the line (doubts? Check the internet) and the next generation of Social Democrats get the big stick again, they can build on all of what they have already stuck the country with....until they have turned us into the "United Socialist States Of America" And then where are we? Why do they want to destroy the greatest nation in the world? Why do they hate us? I hope they don't have pilot licenses.
Christ, and the rest of the world is discovering the greatness of capitalism, just as we may be about to ditch it.
Do I hear the boat whistle for The Cayman islands? We've got till Sunday. At least that's when they think they'll have the votes.
Make them stop. Please make them stop!

Came across your blog after an online diagnostic test identified me as a libertarian and I went in search of meaning.
Might you be the same person that my friends and I enjoyed listening to on WJLY many years ago?
I am! I worked there in 1976.
Thanks for the very nice compliment.
What's your name? Have we met?
Joe
Joe - hmm, 1st attempt at replying failed. We haven't met. I'm a Norfolk native now living in NC.
I remember listening to WJLY while in junior high. Won a call-in quiz and my folks had to drive me to the station in the middle of nowhere to claim my prize. I also remember going to Ocean View Amusement Park with them during a promo WJLY was doing - maybe a roller coaster marathon.
