Tax Day has been postponed for the rest of us until April 18th, 2011 but for General Electric, with its offshore accounts and numerous tax loopholes it has been postponed forever. Shouldn't even the members of the Tea Party be clamoring for them to pay their fair share? According to the NY Times G.E. claimed a tax benefit of $3.2 billion.

General could do a great service to millions of Americans suffering from unemployment, underemployment and threat of death due to inadequate healthcare. They could put BILLIONS into the coffers of the US treasury to provide much needed relief. Some say they shouldn't be obligated to provide anything for their fellow Americans. Should we rely upon their generosity when Corporations such as GE have proven otherwise? The blood of Millions of Americans is on their hands. It's time for a speedy trial of these tax evading Corporations.
Michael Moore and MoveOn certainly know this needs to be done.

General Electric: Greedy Enough?

I'm Fed UP And I'm Not Going To Take It Anymore
Ignorant people voted in the Repukelicans. Now we all have to suffer as a result. The Democrats couldn't get any change through Congress because of the stated intention of the Republicans to declare war on President Barack Obama. The racists and deluded self centered know nothings have taken over this country. We can look forward to Business as Usual in Washington and in the Corporate world. Big Oil and Finance paid for the "victory" of the Repukes and now we will be paying for tax cuts for the rich for the next few decades.
The attempts by President Barack Obama and other Democrats to communicate what the aims of the Republican party are fell on deaf ears this past week. There is no changing the minds of the mindless. If some people would take off their earbuds in the Ipods and Iphones maybe they would realize what's really going on. But they won't. That's how Corporate America wants it to be. We are being fed a diet of Bread & Circuses to keep us down and keep us inactive in our system of Governance.

So Far Today Flickr Gives Us More Blue Pie
This is Flickr Staffs latest brilliant idea for Stats. They give us a multiple shade of Blue Pie Chart. Wow! Great Capture Flickr Staff! A 12 year old could do better than this. Is this all we get after a year of waiting for some improvement to Flickr Stats. Stupidity reigns at Flickr HQ. Do they really think they can impress any of us including the newbies?
I've also noticed that on your main stats page one see the legend for the various entries in little blue boxes but NO pie chart?
We all know what PIE means on Flickr.
It traditionally means "end of discussion". It's real an old skool term which Flickr Staff has obviously forgotten. Is this really essential to the core flickr experience? This is what they get paid for to do. This comes from people who like to play games with big plastic inflatables all day long, put terms like "flickry goodness" and "Bonk!" into messages to flickr members. They insult us with this piss poor effort.
Nuff said.
