Peace


Let me get this straight, in 9 months in office the president has won the Nobel Peace Prize? For what exactly? Talking about nuclear weapons? Talking about bringing peace to the Middle East? Talking about working out a deal with the Israelis and Palestinians?

Talk? Talk wins the Nobel?

Is this the new America where talking about something makes you a person who accomplishes good things?

I recently saw a clip of this Jon Gosslin person who was once on a TV show with his bitchy wife and their unwanted children. The recent clip I saw this Gosslin person was being grilled by this bull dyke and she was blasting him about what a shithead he was and a public buffoon and how he was a terrible father. This little man with bad hair plugs and too much makeup for a non-tranny would not take such an insult. He "was" a good father, dammit.

You know why he is a good father? Because he says he is. We no longer need actions to judge anyone by, we just need their word, or the word of their publicist, which is even better.

Then we have a congressman from Florida who calls the republicans neanderthals and says the republican healthcare plan consists of a word to the sick, please die. He gets all sorts of press and he continues on this path, which is kind of a truth that is never to be spoken in politics, but he continues anyway. He will not apologize, because by god, he has the truth on his side. Which is all fine and dandy, except his team, the democrats, the ones with a majority in both houses and a president on their team, can not seem to muster the courage to actually do anything substantial about healthcare, except talk about minor tweaks and how bad the republicans are.

Talk is cheap. In the end we are all judged by actions. What have you actually accomplished, how have you actually lived this life. If you are a good father, then be an active part of your growing childrens lives, give up some of the parties and the skanks and raise children. You want to be a leader in congress? Quit moaning about the idiots in the other party and actually pass a single payer system that gives access to healthcare to all people in this country, not just the ones who can afford it. Finally, you want peace in the Middle East, less Nukes and Israel and Palestine to open a pizza shop together? Stop dithering and get something concrete done. You can not win a Nobel Prize just by talking a good game.

Wait, that last part is obviously not true.
