Corporate terrorists, tantrum-throwing toddlers, & teabaggers w/ Tourette's: can we negotiate with any of them? I think they all need a time-out.

(I just like this picture.  I think it only relates to this post because scary clowns relate to children.)

You can not negotiate with terrorists or toddlers and far too many of the politicians and noisemakers on the right are terrorizing the country with lies and making discussion impossible with their teabagging tantrums.

While they're busy throwing themselves onto the floor and beating their little fists against the berber, the tears of the recently thwarted running down their faces and the enraged cries of the by-God-entitled bursting from their sneering lips, the rest of us have work to do.

Until they are ready to wash their faces, stop gasping for air in that post-tantrum way, and until they can use their indoor voices like the grown-ups are doing, I think we should ignore them. Send them to their rooms until they remember how to behave.

(I am against spanking children, but could possibly be convinced if those children are middle-aged, Republican crybabies)

There is no point in even talking to them when the only thing they have to say is:  "NO, NO, NO, NO, NO!!!  IT'S NOT THE RIGHT ONE!   I WANTED THE ONE I SAW ON THE TELEVISION!  YOU NEVER  GIVE ME WHAT I WANT AND I HATE YOU I HATE YOU I HATE YOU!  THEY PROMISED ME THE ELECTION AND IT WAS MINE AND YOU TOOK IT AND IF I HAD A BALL I WOULD TAKE IT AND GO HOME!" 

Until they can at least ge to the "Everybody hates me, nobody love me, i think i'll go eat some worms" stage of the tantrum, there is simply no reasoning with them.

So.  We move on without them and they can catch up with us when they've had enough of being ignored.

My comment from this morning's NYT piece on Michelle Obama's organic garden at the WH

wasn't approved
re-submitted without identifying myself as the creator of the Facebook Boycott Whole Foods group. Let's see if it makes it past moderation.

(and it was in response to a right-wing loon who hijacked the conversation in the first comment)


This bit about Organizing for America supporting the Whole Foods boycott is a new one to me!
Those lies just keep on coming.
TR, did the voice in your head tell you that or did one of your commandants on the radio or Faux News whisper it in your ear?
I just have to shake my head at the vocal but tiny minority of people in this country who are, apparently, repeating their terrible twos and stuck in an endless loop of "NO, NO, NO, NO, NO!" whenever they see or hear anything positive about President Obama, First Lady Michelle Obama, or anyone or anything connected with them.
We wouldn't try to reason with tantrum-throwing toddlers, so why do we try to have discussions with these colicky fools?

(when these right-wing trolls start signing their real names, I might begin to believe that there are more than a dozen of them)

Great point of view on Mackey's Whole Foods sponsored selfishness

Mackey to people with disabilities and traumatic injuries: "Does that hurt? Well, I can't feel it. That genetic condition is your own fault for not eating my food in the womb. If you'd have been preparing my organic quinoa, that car... would never have crashed into you. You deserve what you got, and I deserve everything I get."

I love this article:
Whole Foods and whole fools by Lynn Rogers-Lent

Welcome One and All

The world has been speaking to me, privately but not confidentially, and it turns out that what the world needs now (in addition to "love, sweet love" since there's still just too little of that) is, in fact, another blog.

I was shocked, too!

I asked the world if it was sure that another blog was what it really needed, suggesting peace among nations, clean water, an environment less likely to collapse and even campaign-finance reform might be things the world would be happier for having, but the world just smiled and shook its head as if to say "You're just trying to be funny. Stop kidding around and get blogging."

So. Here I am. Here we are.

The Whole Foods boycott is my current project, so I've got a lot of posting to do about that. (links and such) Hopefully there will be even more interesting things to come after that is over!

(I have included a picture of myself. I was standing under a tree when the picture was taken.
I am not standing under a tree now.)
