political economy #1

Aloha, I  haven't been able to visit with you for awhile.  Have  you ever watched Randall's Honey Badger?  Well I recently discovered Randall and think his work is raising awareness of the  plight of many endangered species and may help save some of them.  Although the Honey Badger seems to  be able to take care of himself.  Interestingly, during the debates and partial resolution of the "fiscal cliff" situation it  occured to me that a great mascot for Congressional Republicans would be .. the Honey Badger.  As Randall  says, "look HB is in a bee house, eating larva, being stung 1000's of times by bees.  Honey Badger Dont Care!  Well the larva could be the lobbyist dollars and  the bees the angry constituents.   Watch the video and wonder if a diet of Cobra (house ethics panel?) could be advantageous.

Ever wonder why we have the second amendment?  Hey we need guns in case the Brits invade us or Bambi is in our back yard.  We have to be able to organize a militia for self defence.   Wait.... we have an army, navy, and  airforce, and  they have some formidable weapons...  they can do the  job.. Perhaps we really should get rid of any weapon that  can fire on automatic.  Back at our ranch we only use single shot weapons to control rabid skunks and wild predatory  dogs.

Bye now!

  1. Dear PhuDler,

    I recently discovered the Honey Badger and couldn't stop laughing. Randall is a genius! And your comparison to the House Republicans is very insightful.

    I recently read an article entitled"The Second Amendment Was Ratified to Preserve Slavery." You can check out the article at truth-out.org. What do you think? I know the rest of the world thinks this culture has a crazy love affair with weapons - unlike anyplace else in the world. I'd have to agree.

    Adios,
    Cholita
