Thanks, Crabby!

TGB's Crabby Old Lady said it all for me recently. (And thanks to Cowtown Pattie for the nudge bringing it to our attention.)

Here's some highlights:

To...politicians and candidates who want to replace them: stop telling the country that rich people's tax cuts create jobs. It is a lie. They've had those tax cuts for eight years and look where it got us – millions of permanently lost jobs and 10 percent “official” unemployment that is actually much higher.

Or this...(Speaking of cable companies, how does YOUR elected rep stand on the bill to allow Comcast to buy MSNBC?? There's talk of Comcast cleaning house at MSNBC if our beloved gov't allows the deal--like, no more Rachel Maddow? Get on the horn and call your rep...tell her/him to say NO to this latest maneuver for media consolidation.)

To cable news media: stop filling 90 percent of your air time with fact-free talking heads flapping their gums in total ignorance of everything. Crabby Old Lady has never learned one useful thing from them. Pay some trained reporters, instead, to do some real journalism. A whole lot of them are out of work and they'll do the job for less money than your “star” bloviators.

And so it goes....Read Crabby's post in full. It's no fun to be crying "Doom!" all the time, but somebody's got to do it. Crabby does it better than most.
