Braves leaving Atlanta Fulton County Stadium, State officials comment.

At a press conference today, when asked about the Braves moving to Mortgomery, Jawhjah Goobernator Don E. Deals, commented on the Veterans Day announcement.

“My administration counts this deal as one of the most successful yet. We were able to work under extremely difficult conditions in smoke filled bath rooms. Despite constant interruptions by hookers, exotic dancers, and other lobbyists, we kept the public uninformed and by passed needless second guessing.

“Timing of the announcement was critical. It could not be done during the ball season. We could not have it interrupt free agency offers for Brian McCayne. We can never punish the job producers like sports agents, entourages, and the Hair Club for Men.

“By announcing on Veterans Day, not only did we avoid the Gotcha Mainstream Media’s harassment, most God loving, patriotic, and decent Americans were giving thanks for their heroes.

“And that is how it should be. Some had to die in foreign lands, protecting our way of life and democratic government. While they died, business had to go on. Even if it had to be done in public.

“Going forward in Jawhjah, we expect to outsource more of our economic engines to Podunk places in public private partnerships provided profit permits.”

Be very, very quiet!

More on the Gun to my Head crowd. Just a quick one.

If I felt an invisible gun to my head, saw an invisible man, and heard voices in my head saying, "Pay your taxes or Die!'
I wouldn't be telling people about it.

The Lie of better economic times

I'm never going to finish exposing all the lies by the GOP's talking heads.

But, I'm starting to move on.

Under Clinton, crime as measured in statistics fell while the population grew. A good source for this is the FBI national crime statistics.

Clinton did not impose restrictions on libery such as have been imposed by the Patriot Act.

Television entertainment shows were not doing internet stings operations on child predators like Dateline and a few others have done.

Crime rates overall fell. The economy grew. Population grew.

Since the year 2000, Clinton's last year in office, the economy has staggered a couple of times.

The standard Republican tool for any economic condition, good or bad, is cutting taxes for corporations and the rich by a huge amount. While giving average people a few scraps that look like tax cuts.

Yummy!

Here is a story from the AP on how crime is increasing. Increasing despite combining many criminal databasess under a department of Homeland Security. Despite record levels of the stock market. Despite political stumps speeches how GOP candidates are the party of Law and Order.

Tongue in cheek, notice that the Liberal Heartland, the northeast did not have the problems of the Deeply Conservative South.

"Violent crime rose in every region of the country except for the Northeast."

That would include Boston and New York. Kennedy Country and Clinton Country.
