Quiet Please...









When Todd Kauppila was fired I was outraged,
when he died, I was mortified.
I'm going to sit here quietly for a while and contemplate what happened.



















Bastards!

The US Military is having a huge recruitment problem with its youth
what about its privatized national laboratories?

Oh hell
forget the finger
lets go for the whole fist!

The youth of this country, especially those of us who bothered to get educated, to develop some moral character, to learn to solve problems, are going to be your downfall. Some of us are mad as hell and eventually we are going to find a way to take you down.

My brothers and sisters that survive your sick war for oil profits will come home mad as hell too. Some of them have been "made into men (and women)" in your trial by fire and will return ready to take their country back by means complementary to my own. I think you sick bastards had better look at passing some gun laws before the largest trained, hardened and disenfranchised generation ever comes home. You misogynist, racist, anti-science cretins have created your own worst nightmare, a whole generation of us who "have your number" and will have the means to clean house faster than you can evacuate it.

We will find a way to take our country back and put those "sacred freedoms" you like to spout about and that "blessed constitution" you like to hide behind back in place and there will be very, very, very little room for the kind of greedy, corrupt, dishonest behavior you thrive on.

These ideals are real and cannot be mangled to your purposes forever.

"We hold these truths to be self-evident". Go look up "self-evident" in the dictionary...

Any "Young Republicans" in the audience want to stick up for these lying sacks of shit, for this misguided concept of patriotism, for this dead-end crash-course they have put us on?

I love my country, I love truth, I love science, but I don't love what this nation and now this laboratory are becoming. It is up to us to make things right again.

PS. Sorry to have dropped out here... I am not as prolific as the good Doctor or Pinky and The Brain... thanks to them for carrying the banner. And boy am I pissed.
