digitaldisciplineThis video is why rhetoric not backed up with a Louisville Slugger (at least) cannot make any sort of inroads with some of these dipshits.
I am a little surprised and a lot disappointed to have discovered that some folks I was tight with ten years ago are flagrantly anti-Obama, pro-Bush, even after the last eight years. In 2000, he had a good (if self-serving) reason for voting W: "He is going to be very good to the top 5% of wage earners, and I intend to be there."
Now? It's unconscionable. The average wage has dropped by about 4% over the last 10 years... and 2/3 of the gains in income have gone to the top 1% of wage earners. That last pair of statistics was gleaned from the FOX morning show I was subjected to yesterday morning. Even they can't hide that kind of elephant under the carpet.
