Chris Matthews Forgot Obama was Black

Obama's state of the Union was disappointing to me. Don't get me wrong, I'm not about to viciously turn on the man I helped elect into office like so much of this savage nation, but to say I'm not disappointed in him would be a lie. After eight years of feeling constantly terrified by the Republicans and the Bush administration, it would be nice if Obama were beating the neo cons back with a sledge hammer, rather than fanning the flames of their insanity. His attempts at bi-partisanship have made it extremely clear that Republicans want nothing more than to destroy the Democrats, not to work with them. Rather than sitting around refusing to play their game I was hoping Obama was going to bring the fire last night. Deep inside I wanted him to take the stage holding a flaming sword, slice a copy of the bible in half, and draw a blazing line across the stage before daring a Republican to cross it; a challenge to return their flat out refusal to vote YES on anything he proposes.

When dealing with completely unreasonable people, being reasonable seems like a terrible idea. Why didn't the Dems push health care through with a public option when they had a super majority? Why are they letting the Republicans systematically discredit them? The obvious answer is that the Republicans are simply better politicians than the Dems. It hurts to say, but this year the democrats have really displayed a complete and baffling lack of knowledge in regards to the modern political process. They operate off of some Utopian notion of how it all should work, rather than how it does work. As a liberal I want a politician who will go to battle for me, get their hands dirty, and twist the system around just as badly as the republicans have. Really mangle the thing until its lies, terminal, in their arms coughing out drugs, peace, social reform, and the insides of the Bush administration. Stop fucking around Obama.

Street Sweeping in Retrospect

The practice of street sweeping, or street cleaning, dates back to the 1800s. It began as a type of social program. The aim was to keep the local mongoloids occupied. They were given brooms, and paid 3 cents a day to sweep the streets clean, which any sane person will note, is impossible as the streets are the ground, and will always be dirty. In this way the mongoloid could earn a living whilst staying out of everyone's hair.

The practice fell out of style as institutions for those types of people popped up all over the country. However, by the 1970's a very smart man in in office needed a way to boost city revenue in Los Angeles. He came to the realization that by the standards of those living in the 1800's practically every citizen of the United States would be considered retarded, or at least differently abled. Rather than giving helping them live, he decided to fine them for having cars. He invented a large truck with steel brooms attached to the bottom, and instated weekly street cleaning times. During these times any car parked on the street would be cited. Only a few people were intelligent enough to point out that there is absolutely not point in sweeping a street, as there is not a dust bin large enough to gather all of the dust from the surface of the Earth. The practice has been continued to this day, and twice a week in the city of Los Angeles, the citizens too poor to pay for outrageously priced parking garages play a mad game of musical chairs searching for a legal parking space.
