It's pronounced JENK YOOGER. I'm thinking at this moment that at least in this case it's a good thing the stars of groupthink are being promoted to tv, but it's only a temporary wind of positivity, I'm sure. He's still heavily biased toward the Democratic-Fascists, thinking that dissing them appropriately keeps him out of the fascist-in-denial camp. The man's so smart and energetic that I hope it doesn't end up defeating him in his spirit, that he can work himself so far into the truth zone he won't die a sellout. I extra want the best for him because he has the power to save people, living things.

It's a good sign that he's in for Ratigan, who's definitely not the sellout so many other liberal pundits have become. The trick is not to invest yourself so much in what you like coming out their mouths that you continually overlook the terrifying shit, better known as "spin", that also comes out their mouths.

The thing the fascists have on their side in this attempt to obliterate every social safety net is that many veterans who collect full disability also are filthy rich or collecting full paychecks... and both. The same is true for some people on Social Security and Medicare. This does not mean the government has any right to touch a penny of their righteously-earned benefits, or had a right to loot the trusts for any of them, but they can make it sound reasonable to people. For instance: John McCain collects a full disability benefit. There are lots of those.

Oh, and did you note the senator not even bothering to sound contrite, pretty much saying fuck-you-deal-with-it-serf. The veil is coming off. They know you're not going to do anything about it, can't stop them because you won't, and they're not bothering to conceal the attitude anymore. This is a GOOD thing because it holds the promise of convincing deluded fuckers that we can't stop these guys with any amount of yelling and feuding and kamikaze attacks on IRS offices and nonprofit websites and petitions and votes... fucking voting... drives me up a wall! HOW many times do you have to watch that action failing utterly before you take the clue. The world is our teacher and we don't take the lessons. The only thing that stops them is STOPPING THEM... but that takes awake people with courage and love and solidarity, and we are breathtakingly short of those.
