The one good thing about the Bush administration is that it made me angry enough to get off my ass. Even though I'm 50, it's never too late to get pissed off.

Happy Burger and Hot Dog Day
That Guy just served me up an onion burger, covered in Edam cheese. "Happy 4th of July," I grumbled.There wasn't a problem with the burger. It was great. It brought back memories of my Dad back in Pennsylvania on some previous fourths of July, flippi...
I Piss On Bush's and Cheney's Heads
This article made me seethe, and cry.Haditha was a slaughter, perpetrated upon innocents because supposedly the US military on the scene believed they were under fire.If this was true (and it fucking isn't), then why did they shoot two babies? Did th...
Obama "Disappoints"
I can say that now. Disappoints. It's because I spent the last few hours pounding the keys, wearing off all the cuss word keys on my laptop, telling Obama that the next time he asks me, the little person, for my $25 or $50 contribution, I'll tell him...
Paul Bremer: Don't Care A Damn About The Underclass
I've believed for a long time that BushCo really doesn't care at all about the little people. Like me. And you. And all the Iraqis, except the ones they need to translate and/or play puppet government with. Everybody else is just chaff. We worker bee...

Great site here for progressive pissed off boomers such as myself. As a news satire blogger this comes as welcome proof that I'm not alone. Pissed off? Check it out.

Those articles are great! If I talk politics I think it would look something like your blog.

Talk about American politics, and I as a Filipino, have some issues with American foreign policy, these being:
* Military aid usually come in the form of old, almost junk military hardware and equipment with strings such as spare parts, repair and maintenance, attached.
* Almost always have a say on how we run our country (supporting or propping up candidates to support American agenda.)
* As trade partners, our country always seem to get the shorter end of the bargain.
Apart from these verifiable observations, I must say I still like Americans as a people. I like how they make fun of themselves especially on TV. :-) It is just that as a global political observer, I am disappointed at how the U.S. dispenses its foreign policies particularly to 3rd world countries like ours.
Activists have been mouthing these very same observations back when I was in the university. That was more than 30 years ago. It seems nothing has changed.
Fact is hundreds of Filipinos line up everyday at the American embassy to 'beg' for a U.S. Visa. Other than that, majority of our youth are so enamored with anything Stateside. (made in America). I guess nothing wrong with that. But how about learning to love our own first.
I can only hope.
Cheers!
