The Politics of Porn and The Fiscal Cliff

Sorry you little dirty minds, no porn to look at.
How to make a non entity the main topic of discussion. First you tell people over and over, with great zeal and urgency that this imaginary thing is about to happen and soon, almost to soon to be stopped. Then you give them one and only one option that just might keep it at bay. What might that option be? Give more money to the richest of the rich. They know best how to handle money, right? Actually no, they don't. They know how to spend it on themselves. But, if not the richest, then who? The working man, not the poorest, not the richest, no, the middle classes. They know how to save, they know how to spend on the occasional luxury item, they know how to cut corners in order to have that occasional luxury. The men and women you want read books, newspapers, use the internet for more than social and shopping. The ones who by a cell phone for making calls and upgrade when the old cell stops working. They clip coupons  shop sales and never buy the latest, newest, just gotta' have it to be different like everyone else crap. Farmers, shop keepers, teachers (you know they spend their own money on classroom supplies) union members and the like. People who work for a living, not get paid to create unemployment (venture capitalist are super at that). Way back in the 80's a very stupid actor (never vote for a man who makes a living acting in really bad films co-staring a chimp) turned politician promoted an equally stupid idea called Trickle Down Economics (fatal to all economies it comes in contact with), and the incredibly stupid party he belonged to is still trying to make it work. (I am reminded of a story involving a deceased horse and a stick) I hear tears welling up inside Mr (Hang on Sloopy)John B. The middles classes are inherently the most important of the classes to the health and survival of any viable economy. They employ via small businesses the largest portion of the populace, not the Walmart's not the government. Take the time to add up all the small businesses and count them as one entity, it'll blow your tiny corporate mind. Take away the building contractor, where is your house now? The plumber? What's that semi liquid around your ankles? It ain't gold Mr K. That pretty car you ride in, how'd that gas get in the tank?

 Now for the porn (kinda)-

There once was a man from Nantucket
who carried his beer in a bucket
he slipped on a shell and his beer went to hell
so he scooped up the sand and sucked it.  


did I piss you off? I will
