Apparently you can longer process funds through Bank of America toward Wikileaks. The reason, Wikileaks has released information about B of A and it makes them look bad.

Do they stop sending advertising revenue to major papers when they report the truth about the banks intentional malfeasance? I think not.

Since our elected leadership has chosen yet again to forsake the largest potion of voters in lieu of their wealthy cohorts I must suggest an immoral proposal.

The levels of poverty and wealth inequality hit our most vulnerable citizens the hardest. The elderly, the disabled and children are bearing the brunt of the wealth inequality out of their own health and security. The majority of the population is so far into debt, saving for ever increasing college tuition is fantastical. Aging adults have to continue working well past retirement age because the Casino on Wall Street gambled away their pensions in ever more obscure financial gamesmanship; thus decreasing the number of jobs available to those trying to climb the ladder of success. Those that have physical or mental ailments that preclude their ability to be employed are thrown to the bottom of the pit with no access to healthcare, both physical and mental, or the supports needed to maintain the semblance of humanity.

I'm in need of some holiday cheer. And since I am like the majority of Americans I have no way of going out for a night on the town or other "frivolities."

What I'm proposing is a Solstice party at my place. I can make bread, pasta, and sauce without ruining my food budget. I'm off the blue line by about a mile from the last stop, but there are two buses nearly to my door from the Gresham Station. One before the last stop.

If we as a Nation have a poverty level (PDF) that encompasses nearly half the population for a family of four with less than 21,000 dollars of income a year. In most locales earning less than 40,000 dollars a year is living on the edge.

I have an assignment for everyone with a camera phone or video recorder of other means at the bottom of my diary. Even if you do not wish to read the entire body I would like you, for the sake of our Democracy, to do this assignment.

I can't friggen believe it, the Fire Department of New York will now charge drivers a fee when they respond to accident calls. Are home fires next?

From the NY Times:

Francis X. Gribbon, the Fire Department’s chief spokesman, said the plan — a draft rule of which was published Thursday in the City Record — would include a range of fees. The highest fee, $490, would apply when fire units respond to the locations of crashes or car fires that include injuries. For car fires with no injuries, the fee would be $415, Mr. Gribbon said. And for crashes in which no one is hurt, the fee would be $365, he said.

It is interesting to compare how far we have traveled as a culture through the interpretation of visual art. True we have been inundated with sensory overload via television, print media, video/movies, and our standby internet.

Instead of gathering around the radio or television as a family depending on ones income level we are all going into separate spaces to watch individually programmed televisions, portable audio systems, or even hand held web browsing.

I have to announce this today because we really need to get this point across to those in the upper 1% tax bracket. You know the ones that pay no taxes while in reality you are paying half your income in taxes implied and regressive on a minimum wage salary. That is if you can maintain a job in an economy like this. You still get to pay taxes on products you purchase in most states. The fuel your car uses, the glass of wine you are drinking so you can read the news without screaming.

After months of hand wringing and pearl clutching by our military establishment. The great fear that someone might look at their giblets in the shower has been shown to be baseless. Based on the skewed to hate teh ghey survey they tried to use and reinforce their archaic and unfounded viewpoints.

We are growing tired of working to support the wealthy class. This is a diary to back up a comment made in La Feminista’s diary about the class war on those of us that work for a living, (I’m not really in this class due to a seizure disorder that left me incapable of caring for myself or my child, but that is another diary entirely.). We need to make a slow down of the corporate machine that is grinding the middle and lower classes into sausages at a steady rate. But how, do you ask?

More after the break.

We had our apartment complex winterized for the season and part of that was having the fireplace inspected. The flue was jammed and I wanted it to be looked at by a professional because it is an apartment and I do have the tendency to break things if I try and apply my level of elbow grease. After some quick sharp jabs on the lever the fireplace guy had the flue open in a jiffy. Of course I was chagrined. Apparently getting the flue open was the least of my problems.

You know things are not going well when the only thing you can say about the situation is, “where’s the fucking brandy?”
