STOCK MARKET WATCH -- Tuesday, 2 July 2013

[Fuddnik]

24. I don't have anyone on ignore yet.

Mostly for comedy value of some of the Cargo Cult posters. Hey, a sick mind is a terrible thing to waste.

I've been sticking my hand in the crazy a bit too much lately, and have to bite my keyboard more and more lately. I don't want to get tossed, only because this forum means too much to me.

Other than the name calling, what amazes me is the willful blindness and hardheadedness of the people, who no matter how much evidence and proof you lay in front of them, will continue to defend this criminal administration, and system to their dying breath. These people do more damage to the Democratic Party and future elections than a hundred Rand Pauls or Ralph Naders could ever do.

It's times like these that I call into question everything I've learned about politics. I've known Dennis Kucinich since he was a rookie City Councilman. And I was trained by Wellstone's people. One common theme we were always taught was never discount a volunteer on a campaign. If nothing else, send them out putting up signs or some trivial job. Sorry, but I wouldn't let most of these assholes anywhere near a voter. They'll turn off more people than they can persuade.

In the meantime, I'm headed for the gym. Maybe I can finish off this Chomsky book on the treadmill.
