		<description>I am an artist, a good one. In October of 2008 I moved from Beijing to New York and invested some money in stocks (Wall Street)... 

In 2010 my investment portfolio was gone and I lost 80%... Nobody bailed me out, but our government bailed Wall Street, where biggest BULL SHIT is made.

Mad at Wall Street I created a series of &quot;BULL SHIT FROM WALL STREET. If you have time, please visit http://www.seahawkartmuseum.com

Thank you and see you on &quot;barricades&quot; at Wall Street.</description>

		<description>To be more clear..if they are going to &quot;let it go&quot;..make the guy at least have to have a few A&#039;s on his report card for more than one semester.  Just that change alone would stop all of this rigidness toward intellectualism (what the fuck does that even mean?) that has now permeated the permanently unprepared but perpetually crying masses.  Read a fucking book!</description>

		<description>Finally, I do agree with you on the feminization of America.  We must realize where this has taken our country.  It has lead the Right-Wing to be considered the &quot;man&#039;s party&quot;, just because of its lack of empathy for anyone, its willingness to do ANYTHING to accomplish its means, and its resistance to anything that takes more words than a bumper sticker to explain.  This is the fault of women, for even liberals follow the real men over there.  They usually think their gruffness and ruggedness more attractive, and a partner that is just as informed as they are, TEDIOUS. I somewhat understand this as having an echo chamber is boring...but take your liberal dudes somewhere else mentally then...get creative and kinky.  Don&#039;t justify the dark side...it&#039;s pulling us down.

That&#039;s on the social side.  In our media, we have pretty much tried to make every dispute, &quot;cordial&quot;.  With the thankful exception Megyn Kelly-Kristen Powers Black Panther flare-up, you would hardly EVER see two women actually battling each other.  There is usually a woman-man or panel that one stays to center of.  

Further, beautiful women have the OBLIGATION to state their damn OPINIONS!  All of you have an even better bully pulpit than the president when you speak, but you&#039;re insecure about that stage and do NOTHING WITH IT.  Meanwhile, moderately cute lobbyist shill and sell themselves all over mainstream TV, taking us even further to right or to hell...because they seem more &quot;fun&quot;...and the host handles them with kid gloves.  Erin Burnett can tell you to drown your babies with a smile...no one would care...some might even be tempted.  

This is by no means the fault of women.  But still, it must be noted that &quot;with great power comes great responsibility&quot;.  Only ugly women are true activists (mostly liberal-derived), with any true backbone to stand on an issue.  The hotter the woman, the more apt she is to be &quot;independent&quot;, which for a society that is women-driven causes us much dismay.  You&#039;re our teachers, philosophers, culture-managers, and MUSES.  How many men group opinion shows are there out there?  We need women to risk some conflict to knock off the echo chambers like Sarah Palin, Ann Coulter and many others.  Not only this, even if you are too busy with all the stuff that comes to you for being attractive, we need you to think about ALL the issues with the depth that a wonk would.  We need you not to be a snap voter, and be prepared, so your aim isn&#039;t like the Blacks where it&#039;s focused more on YOUR ISSUE, but we need more foresight about where you want the future of the world to go.  

Women are more likely to land a steadier job, aid or assistance in crisis, graduate universities, and clearly have a more diverse social network that they can immediately pool from.  Men have borders up from the influence of females...hell, Black men have it even worse now that even Oprah has floated the &quot;DOWNLOW&quot; myth.  Hell, most men that are strangers immediately think a friendly dude to them are gay.  Many run to the right to try to sustain some sort of purity of this.  This again is the direct influence of women talking about their fears of homosexuality SO DAMN MUCH!  We used to just know about a fellow...now so many women never know even about the ones they&#039;re married to so much...you really don&#039;t want to go there.  And yes, it&#039;s usually the women that are the first to question in a work environment your sexuality.  

We have it hard enough...hit by so many conflicting messages.  Most are right..empathy is important.  It&#039;s also important to have things you believe in, and are not scared to fight for BEFORE you really really need it...like health care and social security.  You need to care as much when you&#039;re 18 as you will when you get the true &quot;ELDER&quot; status at 60.  You need to teach your daughters that they can get any man/woman they want..but if it is to be a man...make him strive for something great to get &quot;it&quot;.  We would cure cancer to get &quot;it&quot;...and like Chappelle said &quot;you all flooded the market with it&quot;.  If you want a nation you can start trusting and believing in again...it starts FIRST with the preparation and dedication of our women.  Not just the active ugly ones.</description>

		<description>Never had Senate was wrong in that I meant Bush got nearly everything he wanted w/out having that magic 60, which is the fake excuse the media gives so conservative Dems won&#039;t do shit.  You break filibusters by taking your convictions to the American people and scaring your opponents that you will &quot;MAKE THEM FAMOUS&quot;!!!  Obama&#039;s not willing to do any of that, even as his opponents float every conspiracy theory they can dream up about him...yes, even elected congressmen and women on the right.  Obama&#039;s a fucking joke (I&#039;ll risk this post).  When it&#039;s something they know they&#039;ll lose completely w/out (employment benefits), they can fight..but the Public Option that was promoted and PROMISED during his campaign...probably because John Edwards broached it first...nope...can&#039;t do that.</description>

		<description>This was the blog I&#039;ve been waiting for.  Disillusioned by mainstream news, cause except for a few segments of Keith, everyone tiptoes around his failures unless it&#039;s something that they&#039;re personally invested in (looking at you Rachel).  If anyone would check my comments over the year(s) leading up to his inauguration, I KNEW he would be this week.  Barack has never EARNED anything.  I&#039;m African-American myself, and extremely Progressive, so I know how it is to have to talk against the &quot;Black Savior&quot;.  He is not a strong guy, period.  I was pulling for Al Gore to come back to try to lead a more science-based, efficient society, but I&#039;m now not so sure he wouldn&#039;t have sold out either.  We need someone actually brave enough to stand behind their convictions, no matter the cost.  

Yes, this is a huge country, so one has to be somewhat receptive to outside ideas, but DAMN, this &quot;dude&quot; (trying to be nice to not get my post deleted..wanted f-word) has not completed ONE SINGLE PROMISE he made during the campaign.  He establishes the perch from which to attack the right, the corporations, the bank, the old lingering Bush Admin abuses, then CEDES THE MATCH BEFORE ONE SHOAT IS FIRED.  THE AMERICAN PEOPLE VOTED HIM INTO THE HIGHER GROUND.  WTF IS WRONG WITH THIS DUDE!!!!  

He first &quot;didn&#039;t want to look backward&quot; on ANY Bush crimes...so how does he make sure no one else can, HE LEGALIZES THEM OR EXPANDS THEM.  We are at stake of even losing NET NEUTRALITY.  Does anyone have any FORESIGHT???  CORPORATIONS ARE CONSERVATIVE BY NATURE...How are you going to pull another Barack Obama-Howard Dean-inspired grassroots when NO ONE CAN GET TO YOUR SITES!!!!  Are you that f-ing corrupt and inept.  You are right, the main selling point of this &quot;champion&quot; was how sharp he is/was.  With the exception of his Inaugural, I haven&#039;t seen it one iota...period!  Obama&#039;s main tactic is empathy.  He can tell you what the problem is with the clarity of a soothsayer, but he won&#039;t do a damn thing about it.  Bush got everything he wanted and NEVER had the Senate!  Barely had House first term. EVERYTHING HE WANTED, okay, with the exception of Privatizing Social Security...which the deficit commission of Barack Hussein Obama is about to get ready to raid anyway!

So we ask...why?  Why is this happening like this.  How did we get it so wrong....how did we get so played.  Sorry to be sexist...but it was the WOMEN!  Every site I tried to tell his warnings on, it was like, he&#039;s Black, and has a magnificent story.  It soon came to how handsome he was.  Granted, he gave a rousing speech at the 2004 Dem Convention...he had not finished ONE TERM as Senator before he was now President.  What had he done beforehand!!!!!????  Anything??  WTF??  Manchurian anyone??  

He was plucked out of central casting to PLAY US.  He would tamp down the suspicions of the Blacks after being shafted in 2000 in Florida and 2004 in Ohio and PA.  He would be the untouchable candidate to the media, someone who can falsely attest to the accension of the Black vote in American discourse (WHERE!!??? Where is our show??  Who is our talking opinion head pundit???), and someone who articulation and looks can be lauded as Kennedy-ian.  What does he really think?  Only slightly more to the left at all times than Hillary.  He&#039;s consilatory, he accepts America&#039;s apology for its apartheid of the Blacks..and all it has caused.  He&#039;s one that because of the lack of diversity in Black thought, that can inspire rigid loyalty, that is until the college students see the cat let out the bag.  HE PLAYED US.  YOUR MEDIA PLAYED YOU.

He is simply a marker for whatever uber-fascist Right-Wing country we&#039;re going to have after he is a one termer.  We are now so far to the right, with a right wing base that is forever going more rabidly there; that the next president(s) can only go so far as Middle-right if Democrat or keep that push over, maybe moving left slightly for moderation if GOP.  

This was our chance.  Our nation was fed up with being a petri dish of Theocracy.  It&#039;s only led to hypocracy, oligarchy, facism, cronyism, militarism and so many other ism&#039;s I&#039;ve yet to name (CAPITAL AND WHITE COLLAR CRIMISM!!!).  We needed a government that would look out for the voters...not the well funding special interests...in the words if Tony Soprano &quot;there&#039;s enough garbage for everyone&quot;.  Still the rich and uber-rich don&#039;t even want to fork over a few percentage points of their wealth...just to look out for the health of the nation, vying instead to start culture wars amongst the poor, with whatever wedge issue that can be devised.  We still have the money and the political will from the people on the left to FIX EVERYTHING!  We just need it from our Commander in Chief.  He fails at this...and I&#039;m sorry, we won&#039;t get another shot.  The country will be too disillusioned and polarized to just start the moderate reforms (YOU MEAN YOU CAN&#039;T CAP CREDIT CARD INTEREST RATES ON THE BANKS YOU F-ING JUST BAILED OUT!!!).

I hope that you listen to the Young Turks.  They&#039;re the most progressive leaning show that is getting traction in the mainstream right now...and with your and their permission, I want to post your well-crafted rebuke of this coward.  Lastly, I don&#039;t say that women don&#039;t have the intellect to pick beyond superficial attributes...I know few in my personal life that have seen through Obama, and was pissed that even their White friends thought them racialist (LOL).  It was just all the ones that should&#039;ve known better...the activists, media, and &quot;elites&quot;...let us the hell down.

Lastly, lastly STOP PUTTING JONATHON ALTER ON YOUR GODDAMN SHOWS MSNBC!!!!  He is a SHILL...can&#039;t you see that!!  He talks out of both sides of his mouth on the same damn broadcast...HE LIED ABOUT VAN JONES RECENTLY ON RACHEL.  Look up his opinions on TORTURE!  The man is just a mouthpiece for whatever administration is in power.  If there is valid opposition to that establishment, he will SAY ANYTHING TO SOFTEN IT TO NOT LOSE!!  It will be some...&quot;you know the left seems to be really right about this BUT..(one minor flaw) is where they can be beaten by the establishment that makes your trust more apt to stay at the establishment!

We need to root out ALL of these moneychangers, if we want to start the awakening of the American people to what is going to stay a deepening crisis unless more people step up with backbone.  Thank you.  I wish people listened more to Kucinich as well. I
m a student but like Turks..when I scramble up some extra cash I will donate...keep up the damn good analysis!</description>

Who is our talking opinion head pundit???), and someone who articulation and looks can be lauded as Kennedy-ian.  What does he really think?  Only slightly more to the left at all times than Hillary.  He&#8217;s consilatory, he accepts America&#8217;s apology for its apartheid of the Blacks..and all it has caused.  He&#8217;s one that because of the lack of diversity in Black thought, that can inspire rigid loyalty, that is until the college students see the cat let out the bag.  HE PLAYED US.  YOUR MEDIA PLAYED YOU.</p>
<p>He is simply a marker for whatever uber-fascist Right-Wing country we&#8217;re going to have after he is a one termer.  We are now so far to the right, with a right wing base that is forever going more rabidly there; that the next president(s) can only go so far as Middle-right if Democrat or keep that push over, maybe moving left slightly for moderation if GOP.  </p>
<p>This was our chance.  Our nation was fed up with being a petri dish of Theocracy.  It&#8217;s only led to hypocracy, oligarchy, facism, cronyism, militarism and so many other ism&#8217;s I&#8217;ve yet to name (CAPITAL AND WHITE COLLAR CRIMISM!!!).  We needed a government that would look out for the voters&#8230;not the well funding special interests&#8230;in the words if Tony Soprano &#8220;there&#8217;s enough garbage for everyone&#8221;.  Still the rich and uber-rich don&#8217;t even want to fork over a few percentage points of their wealth&#8230;just to look out for the health of the nation, vying instead to start culture wars amongst the poor, with whatever wedge issue that can be devised.  We still have the money and the political will from the people on the left to FIX EVERYTHING!  We just need it from our Commander in Chief.  He fails at this&#8230;and I&#8217;m sorry, we won&#8217;t get another shot.  The country will be too disillusioned and polarized to just start the moderate reforms (YOU MEAN YOU CAN&#8217;T CAP CREDIT CARD INTEREST RATES ON THE BANKS YOU F-ING JUST BAILED OUT!!!).</p>
<p>I hope that you listen to the Young Turks.  They&#8217;re the most progressive leaning show that is getting traction in the mainstream right now&#8230;and with your and their permission, I want to post your well-crafted rebuke of this coward.  Lastly, I don&#8217;t say that women don&#8217;t have the intellect to pick beyond superficial attributes&#8230;I know few in my personal life that have seen through Obama, and was pissed that even their White friends thought them racialist (LOL).  It was just all the ones that should&#8217;ve known better&#8230;the activists, media, and &#8220;elites&#8221;&#8230;let us the hell down.</p>
<p>Lastly, lastly STOP PUTTING JONATHON ALTER ON YOUR GODDAMN SHOWS MSNBC!!!!  He is a SHILL&#8230;can&#8217;t you see that!!  He talks out of both sides of his mouth on the same damn broadcast&#8230;HE LIED ABOUT VAN JONES RECENTLY ON RACHEL.  Look up his opinions on TORTURE!  The man is just a mouthpiece for whatever administration is in power.  If there is valid opposition to that establishment, he will SAY ANYTHING TO SOFTEN IT TO NOT LOSE!!  It will be some&#8230;&#8221;you know the left seems to be really right about this BUT..(one minor flaw) is where they can be beaten by the establishment that makes your trust more apt to stay at the establishment!</p>
<p>We need to root out ALL of these moneychangers, if we want to start the awakening of the American people to what is going to stay a deepening crisis unless more people step up with backbone.  Thank you.  I wish people listened more to Kucinich as well. I<br />
m a student but like Turks..when I scramble up some extra cash I will donate&#8230;keep up the damn good analysis!</p>

		<description>Rich: The Wikipedia thing is encredible and blatant. This may work for better publicity and proactiveness among your readers than anything else. The matriarchy is awesomely powerful but even they cannot suppress the truth. Keep your cool and sense of humor and dont give up!! I am same age as you and watched the same phenomena the last 30+ years occur and agree with most if not all of your conclusions. The US is the most propagandized nation on earth and as we both know it has to be!! Talk to you later.</description>
