Many of you wonder what we are or are not about…its not as simple as that, but I will try to break it down into as simple terms as possible:

We are NOT protesting corporations.

We are NOT protesting their products.

We are NOT protesting capitalism.

We are NOT protesting democracy.

What we ARE protesting is corporate greed. and the fact the corporations can buy politicians and influence government. We are protesting the socialization of loss and the privatization of profit. We are protesting an unbalanced tax code that favors the rich and corporations while breaking the backs of the common American. We are protesting the banks who used predatory tactics on homeowners to make themselves more money. We are protesting Wall Street for impoverishing over 50 MILLION AMERICANS THROUGH NO FAULT OF THEIR OWN. We are protesting the broken electoral system in this country. We are protesting corporate person-hood. We are protesting inequality.

The hypocrisy in this country is overwhelming. Our media covered the riots, rebellions, and revolutions in Egypt, Libya, Syria, France, and England (to name a few) with zeal and vigor. But when it comes back to our shores, we get marginalized. We get ridiculed. And worst of all…we get CENSORED!

CONFIRMED: Yahoo admits to censoring emails about #OccupyWallStreet.
CONFIRMED: Twitter blocks trending of #OccupyWallStreet, despite over 1000 tweets per second, worldwide.
CONFIRMED: Youtube suppresses view counts of NYPD brutality against PEACEFUL protesters to prevent them from going viral.

Occupations are growing, both around the country and around the world. Find yours and let your voice be heard…that you are no longer willing to allow YOUR future to be sold out from under you in the interests of corporate profits.

All I ask of anyone who reads this is to pass it on and stay informed (if you are able to occupy, that would be truly wonderful). Tell your friends, family, and neighbors. Email this, retweet it, Facebook it, put it on LinkedIn, stumbleupon, digg, etc. We need to SPREAD. THE. WORD.

Stay tuned…the world is watching…

But a dark clouds looms in the distance. The gays. They dont make babies, therefore, its almost impossible for them to contribute to this effort! But I think I may have figured out a solution to this problem: tax the gays!!

Now before you start emailing me hateful statements or throwing buckets of glitter on me from hanging gondolas, hear me out. When a man and woman get together, they can have babies. If two men or two women get together, they cannot. They can either use in-vitro fertilization (which is quite costly and not a viable alternative to the average person) or adopt (which is basically a human trafficking network of global baby redistribution).

The current birthrate of this country is 1.6million babies born per year. Now, The average cost of raising a child until age 18 (without factoring in college) is $222,360. That’s roughly $19,765,333,333 that is spent on children that gets injected into the economy every year. But it could be so much more!!

With almost 4.3 million Americans defining themselves as gay, lesbian, or bisexual, thats a ton of money that is never making it into the economy that could be. Simply put, every gay couple is basically two straight couples prevented from conceiving. The gays simply aren’t making the requisite number of babies needed to help float the economy. And that’s where my new tax comes in.

With the average cost being $222,360, and assuming a 2-parent home, this is $111,180 total per parent, or $6177 per year, per parent, for 18 years. Now, if we taxed all 4.3 million that same $6177 a year they would have spent anyways on a “fresh” child, that would be an additional revenue increase of $26,561,100,000 per year.

“But what does it all mean” you ask? Well, for one: Jobs! That’s right. Should President Obama’s jobs bill be passed, the average job will cost $312,500 to create. With the over $26 billion in taxes, thats just under 85,000 jobs created per year that this tax is in effect.

Can’t argue with math folks. Unless, of course, you’re in the Tea Party

-M-

That’s right friends. For those who play…you already know ;) But for those who do not, it’s actually pretty fun!! And in an attempt to get more people in on the fun (and thus build $$$ from ad revenues), the NFL is now REQUIRING, as of this season, fantasy stats to be displayed at all stadiums in real-time. awesome.

And what is my team name this year, you ask? I’ve gone with “The Show” after a dismal performance last year as “Team Badass.” How embarrassing #blush!

However…I’ve decided this year to take it one. step. further.

I’ve decided to create a new genre of games AND sports…to bridge the gap between jocks and nerds. I’ts final fantasy meets fantasy football!!! I call it “Final Fantasy Football: Touchdown of Time!” I’ve already drafted Sephiroth and Cloud with the Pittsburgh D and Lance Moore in the slot…gonna fucking wreck. I mean seriously, with Cloud’s Buster sword carving up the secondary while Moore dances his way across the field I can’t lose!

Plus with this stupid kickoff rule causing a cascade of touch-backs, and Sephiroth taking snaps, “The Show” is going to march down the field with ease every time. I just need to make sure Sephy and Cloud get along and don’t play “my swords sharper than yours is” on the field. That’s a twenty-yard penalty.

Working chiefly with Poseidon (god of the sea, rivers, floods, droughts, and earthquakes), these two have wreaked havoc across America. An earthquake on the east coast, devastating floods from Hurricane Irene, and historic flooding along the Mississippi River.

And now, Hephaestus (god of fire), is getting in on the fun by spreading more and more wildfires. Half the country is burning, the other half is being washed away!!

We’ve also learned that the USPS is “operating on a week’s worth of cash” according to the Postmaster General and could face shutdowns. Clearly the work of Hermes, the god of messengers, language, and writing.

And it also seems that Hera, queen of marriage, women, and childbirth, has defected to the Tea Party to help them put a stop to reproductive rights in dozens of states.

Last, but not least, who could forget Hades? King of the underworld, god of the dead, and leader of the tea party. His strangle hold seems to be iron-clad. He could not be reached for comment.

Current reports suggest that several of the other gods, primarily Aphrodite (goddess of love and beauty), Apollo (god of music, healing, and poetry), Ares (god of manly courage and civil order), and Athena (goddess of wisdom, heroic endeavor, and reason) are in hiding, strategizing on a way to overthrow these dark times. this could not be confirmed independently, however.

But being that these gods are Greek, and that the current state of Greece is, well…its pretty bad, there is one thing we can do: kick these gods to the curb and start hanging out with the Norse God’s. After all, Germany does have its shit together!! See you at Oktoberfest with Loki, Thor, and Odin!

-M-

thats right, Mother Earth has stepped up for us and did something that our politicians, god, or clean energy could not do…PROVIDE JOBS!!

Last week we saw an unprecedented earthquake hit the east coast. a few days later, hurricane Irene rocked the eastern seaboard from North Carolina up into Canada. It is clear that our Earth Mother is trying to help us out…trying to get us back on track!!

these disasters have left over 65 million people affected, canceled over 9000 flights, killed over 20 people, affected more than a dozen states, has left millions without power, and damage estimates are over $7 billion. (and thats not to mention the west coast wildfires, Mississippi river floodings, horrific mid-west tornadoes, or historic droughts in the south (costing the US over $32billion in damage)).

and who’s going to fix it all? WE ARE!! cant ship jobs like these oversees, republicans!

Nature is trying to send us a message, that she is here to help us, not hurt us! and this is the only way she can communicate with us!! think of all the jobs!! all the money poured into overtime for the utility crews working around the clock. over $7 billion will be spent to repair the widespread damage, making everything stronger, newer, better. the eartquake showed that almost all of our nuclear reactors are on the east coast…and woefully falling apart. that will cost billions and take the better part of a decade to fix. our highways systems disintegration was also illuminated by the quake, which will also cost billions to repair and years to accomplish.

jobs! jobs! jobs! politicians couldnt do it…they are too busy screwing America up. God couldnt do it because he is a character in a book. But nature steps in, and BOOM…jobs.

I, for one, am quite excited. All this time we thought Nature was pissed because of this whole “nurture” thing, or because humans still choose to ignore global warming. turns out, she was just trying to help this whole time. thanks mom :)

-M-

but friends, this isnt funny. its serious. god is mad at us and thats why we got quaked! at least…thats what some people are saying. They say that the east got it for our “sins.”

now, the west coast gets a ton of quakes every year. like, several dozen. they must be sinning 24 hours a day!! we should take a lesson and not be like the west! it is clear that god hates west coasters and is showing that he will do the same to us east coasters if we dont straighten up and fly right!

and lest we not forget the quake that caused the tsunami that has crippled japan. their sins must have been so great, so unimaginable, that the number of dead and missing is almost 20,000.

so ladies and gentlemen, if youre gay, a minority, a woman, an atheist, or muslim, please stop pissing god off. go to church, pray, give 10%, and find an alter boy. do whatever you can to show god we love him and pray that he doesnt hurt us again.

just be thankful he isnt drinking when he hits us…those bruises stick around for weeks…

-M-

at this point, watching the news makes me want to blow my brains out. im sitting here, staring…because i honestly cannot put into words how i feel. ive never felt this way before…i dont know how to approach it. lets see why i feel this way:

1) GOP Sen. Mccain and GOP Sen. Grahm(sp? who cares) blast Obama and the “FAILURE OF THE UNITED STATES” for not doing MORE in Libya. ok, first…who are the rebels? do we want to support? to early to tell what their intentions are. second…if we HAD gone in, theyd be up his ass because, three, WE HAVE BEEN BOOTS DOWN FOR OVER A DECADE in iraq and afghanistan.

2) Republicans want to zero tax hikes, none. just cuts. ohh, ps…just cuts for the rich. Thats  right. the payroll tax is coming up for renewal and since Obama wants it, the GOP do not. what does the payroll tax cuts do? they save the average family about $2,200 a year in taxes…that money goes in YOUR pocket!! the catch? it only taxes the first $106,000 you make. SO if you make $35,000 a year…or $35million…its just the first $106,000 you get hit on. so who gets hurt by this tax going back up? The poor, lower classes, and middle class. Thanx GOP

3) the tea party is pure crazy. Rick Perry wrote a book 9 months ago calling social security, medicare, Medicaid, minimum wage, labor laws, and government funded education (loans, grants, scholarships, etc) as UNCONSTITUTIONAL. but now that he’s been called on it, he claims that “it is not a path forward, only a look back and is not to be construed as his views today.” wow…lots changed in 9 months, eh rick?

Bonus: Rick Perry has gone on record twice about Texas succeeding from the union. Thats who i want for president!

4) Mitt Romny. I could be here all day. to name a few:

• demolishing ONE of his homes, a $12 million dollar, 3000sq. ft. beach-front house to build an 11,000sq. ft. one because it is “not adequate for his needs”
• believes “corporations are people”
• made his fortune consolidating companies and firing thousands of workers.
• there’s more…im just blinded by disbelief right now and cant think straight.

5) WHERE ARE THE FUCKING JOBS?

6) S&P cited the downgrade of America from AAA to AA+ due to “bi-partisan brinkmanship,” and the “Republican’s use of the full faith and credit of the United States as a bargaining chip.” Thanx again republicans.

stay tuned…it’s going to get a lot worse before it gets any better.

-M-

ok, it’s go time. As many of you know (hopefully…please please please), we are facing debt default in 18 days. This is bad. Why is it bad you say? have you ever defaulted on something? the creditors come calling, your credit gets hit to shit, and its harder to get more credit or loans. and that’s what America, AS A COUNTRY IN THE WORLD, is staring at.

Ok, no bigs…lets just pay our obligations. ohh wait, we cant. Ok, soooooo what do we do? Three options:
1) default.
2) raise the debt ceiling.
3) figure out how to save money AND make money to bridge the gap between what we have and what we need.

#1 is just stupid. if anyone thinks that defaulting is an acceptable idea, please find the nearest train track and lay down on it.
“What is the debt ceiling exactly? It’s a cap set by Congress on the amount of debt the federal government can legally borrow. The cap applies to debt owed to the public (i.e., anyone who buys U.S. bonds) plus debt owed to federal government trust funds such as those for Social Security and Medicare.” The ceiling is currently set at $14,293,975,000,000…that’s how much we as a nation currently owe.

IF WE DEFAULT then our AAA credit rating gets dropped, we wont be able to pay all our internal obligations (medicare, medicaid, social security, active military pay, veterans benefits, etc.), external obligations to other countries, the dollar would be severally hurt, world markets would go into a tailspin, our economy would be crippled, and it would possibly destroy our bond market and stock market. for those keeping score, that’s all bad. BUT WAIT!! Some Republicans have posited that such a shock to the economic system could actually be a good thing. “By defaulting on the debt, in the short and long term, it could benefit us to go through a period of crisis that forces politicians to make decisions” on major policies that affect the budget, said Rep. Devin Nunes (R-CA). jesus…

So why not just raise the debt ceiling? even if it is raised, we still have to pay!! and we WILL hit the ceiling again. Since 1980, the debt ceiling was raised 39 times. raising alone will not be enough.

and now we come to #3: spend less, make more. this translates to spend less, raise taxes. now hold on, hold on…stop yelling at the screen and sit the fuck down. yes…raise taxes. It makes complete sense. We spend too much and don’t tax correctly, so it’s not even a matter of increasing taxes, but more of fixing the tax code (which will result in increases). point being, it needs to be done.

so whats the hold up? republicans. The democrats are willing to cut spending all over the place. but the republicans are COMPLETELY UNWILLING to even ENTERTAIN the notion of raising taxes. awesome, thanx guys. let’s look at this objectively. the GOP claims that raising taxes will create more unemployment and be detrimental to the economy, rather then helpful. but i recall that during the Clinton administration, he RAISED TAXES and CREATED 23 MILLION JOBS!!! When Bush came in, he CUT TAXES and only 3 MILLION jobs were created. solid GOP logic if i ever heard it. AND dems only want taxes raised on the wealthy, on multi-billion dollar corporations THAT DONT PAY TAXES, and a fix on tax loopholes.

I could go on and on about this…and i intend to. see you soon.

-M-

ps. despite the disdain i have for the republicans, its the tea party that is truly a cancer on this Great Nation.

wait…you mean you didnt know? you just thought it was a mosque??? well, if you are like most american’s, you probably have no fucking clue what park51 is (did you know thats what it was called? doubtful).

pay attention, this next part is important:

Park51 will grow into a world-class community center, planned to include the following facilities:

* outstanding recreation spaces and fitness facilities (swimming pool, gym, basketball court)
* a 500-seat auditorium
* a restaurant and culinary school
* cultural amenities including exhibitions
* education programs
* a library, reading room and art studios
* childcare services
* a prayer space, intended to be run separately from Park51 but open to and accessible to all members, visitors and our New York community
* a September 11th memorial and quiet contemplation space, open to all

wow! amazing! that sounds great! but wait…if we build this…then the terrorists win. and we cant have that. that would be a spit in the face to all the victims of 9/11. but, if we dont build it, then then terrorists will look at us and decry our intolerance of the islamic faith and the freedom of religious expression as a whole. and that is contrary to what our founding fathers wanted. a seemingly lose-lose situation. this is quite a predicament. what to do?

wait…

i have an idea…

HOW ABOUT WE DONT GIVE A FUCK WHAT THE TERRORISTS THINK? hows that grab you? so simple a fucking child could understand it. this country is so damn concerned about the reactions of the terrorists. who fucking cares what they think?

the intolerance and bigotry in this country (ESPECIALLY the south…see Murfreesboro, Tennessee) is overwhelmingly disgusting.

grow up.

–M–

now dont get me wrong. if people want to post up in public areas and hand out pamphlets to people that would like to accept them, then go for it!!! (although i do think thats a stupid idea as a whole since they are handing out booklets about religions that everyone on this fucking planet, not to mention a major metropolitan area, has heard of…its not something new and magical. if i was interested in your religion, id come and get info about it on my own).

so this bitch is walking down the bus as we are moving along asking people if they want her book. I have my earphones in and my shades on so i pretend to be asleep. she shakes me, literally puts her hands on my shoulder and shakes me “awake”, and then holds up the book and asks me if i want a copy.

fuck you. and fuck no.

I AM ON A FRIGGIN BUS! what can i do? where can i go? in a public area i can just keep walking, but this bitch is just harassing and asking everyone. if i wanted your book, id hit you with a brick and take it.

and thats why i hate all people who feel the need to force THEIR religion down the throats of everyone around them. seriously…dont you have a job or something? maybe some kids to take care of? anything other then trying to get people to convert to your religion? is there some incentive program where you get prizes based on the number of converts? LEST WE FORGET THAT HUNDREDS OF MILLIONS (thats not a typo…millions) OF PEOPLE HAVE BEEN KILLED BECAUSE THEY REFUSED TO CONVERT TO SOMEONE ELSE’S BELIEF SYSTEM?!?!

–M–

ps…according to scientists, the number of recorded murders in the history of man is thought to be around 284,638,000(R.J. Rummel). 151,491,000 have been in the last 100 years. If you add together ONLY those killed from nazi germany, nationalist china, and atheistic communism, it totals roughly 141,160,000. thats 49.59%!!! practically 50% of all people murdered in the history of the world happened in the last 100 years under regimes who were “our way or death” as far as religion is concerned (and that doesnt even count the deaths from the crusades of the middle ages, the spanish inquisition, or the various witch trials held throughout the world). fail.
