Season of the Witch

you got to pick up every stitch

I don't drink Starbuck's coffee..it's too expensive, the one time I did drink I got ill, and the CEO is a teabagger...

now he wants the good ole USA to treat veterans better...at least businesses...but I've seen Santa Barbara businesses treat vets kinda bad..mostly the streets guys and gals, the homeless vets...

and now everyone who volunteered to invade Iraq or Afghanistan is considered a hero...hero this hero that...some vet in LA was killed while partying..he belonged to a gang and a rival gang shot him...gang members are heroes?? I think the military is hiring anybody to fight these crazy sand wars...oh and you can send all the care packages you want overseas...but if you still want them there, fighting ancient tribes in the desert, then you're part of the problem..oh yeah, wave your little American flag if it makes you feel better...

now one of the biggest employers of veterans is gov't...some folks go to war or elect a military career, an honorable one..after ten or twenty years they retire with a military pension..then they might seek work for a city gov't...they work there for another ten years and can retire with a city pension, too...nothing wrong with that at all..they deserve it...they deserve the GI Bill which provided a range of benefits...Benefits included low-cost mortgages, low-interest loans to start a business, cash payments of tuition and living expenses to attend university, high school or vocational school, as well as one year of unemployment compensation
they deserve anything that will help them succeed after the fighting is over...

the question is when will the fighting be over....the lost US treasure in lives and money...we can't sustain never-ending wars..the next President and Congress better understand that

but all these faux-Patriots glorifying all the military heros every five minutes..those are the same one who would try to steal their benefits, their right to their pensions, spit on them if they were homeless or otherwise try to fuck with them...

like the ultra- conservative News-Press being all rah-rah military phony Patriotic America...on the front pages only of course..

but Wendy has a history of anti-public worker...and soldiers are public workers who come home and become cops or firemen/women...

now why would Wendy praise and support the troops with platitudes on the front page of the rah-rah News-Press..and then use the editorial pages to try to steal their benefits??

because she's a witch
