as the bottom of the 99% forage for supper.

ETA, my bad, there is one, along with a bicyclist being knocked into the river by some guy driving a beater.

How about living in the Democratic side, and getting a jon boat or something to take you to the Republican side for your titties & beer fixes?

And lest we forget...

Only thing I would add are classic cars running on hemp and other alternative fuels, and a giant sign on the Democratic side saying, "All Persons Welcome!".

THAT is the first thing a rightie would see.

Big church on the right, no churches on the left.

Which is EXACTLY the way I would like to see it, but there you go.

First of all, it would be mostly taken up by a Wal-Mart.

Second, where are all the homeless people on the streets?

Flourish regardless of the Label being a "D" or an "R."

The big exception - under Obama, American women will continue to have contraception, and perhaps if wealthy enough, the right to use a clinic to have an abortion.

And in Vermont under a third party Senator, we have real democracy. The other places in the country are basically organized crime.

TOTALLY CORRUPT FAMILY COURT SYSTEMS, TOTALLY CORRUPT COURTS in terms of FINANCIAL
MATTERS (Robo-signing got the banks a slap on the wrist.)

And everywhere I look, Monsanto prevails. Obama's FDA ignored the over 900,000 signatures on a petition to the FDA, counting it as one signature.

Yes, Obama is warmer and fuzzier, but so damn what? When he hasn't been different in terms of prosecuting war criminals, and he hasn't returned the Constitution to its central place as offering us civil rights, but instead allowed our descent into a surveillance society. When he hasn't been different in terms of what happened to the Gulf of Mexico, when his EPA turned off the radiation monitoring sites immediately following the Fukushima Catastrophe, and now the Department of Justice destroying decades of work on the medical marijuana front.

Sadly it is not just a problem inside the White House. The state legislature system is badly corrupted as well. When the Depression slammed America in the 1930's, some thirty five states banned foreclosure against individuals living in a primary residence. Here in California, our legislature was handed a bill in 2011, that would have cleaned up the situation with the banks just a tiny tiny bit. And immediately the lobbyists descended, and two state legislators flipped upon their vote, and the banks retained their regulation-free ability to plunder.

Cut-rate liquor and cigarettes just around the corner from some decent looking housing projects in a financially diverse neighbourhood? I'd take that.

What is a park doing in the Republican picture? How are Republicans going to make money by having a park? Taxes pay for parks, therefore they shouldn't be allowed to exist. Should be a prison, privatized, of course.
