Y'all Need to Be Shamed, Vol. 4 or Playing Smart with Stupid Poliitcs

Looking back on the nuanced expression of the US's alliance with Israel in last night's final Presidential debate I am still aghast at what, from all accounts, were smart politics but would be stupid policy. So here in a special volume of "Y'all Need to Be Ashamed" are the Top 5 Topics that Were Criminally Ignored in Last Night's Debate.

5) Lots of talk of Israel, Palenstine not so much.

4) European austerity riots and civil unrest.

3) Socially destabilizing pharmaceutical driven chaos in Mexico.

2) A little place called, Africa ( and not because of drug prices in Europe) and finally

1) Climate fucking change!

But I guess none of this matters to the 5 morons nuanced voters (Thank your lucky stars for Chihambuane) that still can't figure out what is a presidential campaign and what they should do on Election Day. So Mssrs. Obama and Romney due to your smart politics and canny polling sense, "Y'all Need to Be Ashamed" for not having the courage to make it plain.

More Annals of Austerity Policies or I Don't Think This is Going to End Well

  Question: What do you get when you combine
  • Draconian cuts in social net spending
  • High unemployment
  • Heightened anti-immigrant fervor
  • alternative structures of "law" enforcement
  • Black Tees 
  • Foreign determination of domestic economic policy
  • and invocations of National Socialism?
   Answer: The Greek Nationalist group, The Golden Dawn. There is more to consider than deficits when implementing austerity policies during global recession.
