I have a better place to be.

Let's give free rein to the polluters. That seems to be the prime way for Republicans to create more jobs. Yes, disbanding the Environmental Protection Agency. Too much regulation, Republicans argue, hurts business. And therefore, thwarts creation of more jobs. But that's only more of Republican's incessant flow of bullshit. Republicans want rich corporations to be able to make more money. To make the wealthy even more wealthy. To make them stinking rich. Of course, that will make for a stinking environment. But to hell with the common good. Republicans want to make money for Republicans. For rich people. As if they aren't already rich enough. Listen folks. Listen close. To all of the aspirants for the Republican nomination for president. Many of 'em even deny there's global warming. Because if they acknowledged it, they might feel coaxed into doing something about it. But they don't wanna do that. Because it'll cut into corporate profits. By the way, the economy may be bad. The worst it's been since the 1930s. But still, corporate profits have never been better. Yes, the rich keep getting richer. And the middle class and the poor keep getting poorer. That's where we are at in America. And it's a dirty rotten shame. And instead of cleaning up the mess, it won't surprise me if Republicans take over the White House and the U.S. Senate. And if that happens, we Americans will get just what we deserve. A putrid stench that permeates the entire land. But I ain't gonna stick around to smell the decay. I'll be in Sardinia. On a Mediterranean beach. In Paradise. --Jim Broede
