EFFin’ Unsound

Sharkansky can pack a lot of stupid into a small space. Here are two posts today.

David Ammons reports: “Call it the Children’s Hour”

Washington’s Democratic-controlled Legislature is back at the Capitol for a 15-week session — and kids are king.

Aided by a record $1.9 billion projected revenue surplus, lawmakers have declared children as their top priority for new spending as they build a whopping $30 billion state budget.

It’s inconceivable that actual children will benefit if they’re saddled with unconscionable debt and public pension liabilities, or if the state simply ramps up unaccountable hand-outs to bureaucrats with only vague promises that the money will somehow improve “education”.

Normally, I’d say, “read the whole thing, assface.” But assface seems not to be able to read the thing he quoted! Spending part of the new surplus is an unconscionable debt? And furthermore, the budget is paying down pension liabilities. The article says, “Lawmakers say they intend to balance fiscal restraint with their desire to make strides in education, environmental cleanup, health care, pensions and salary increases for public employees, home-care workers and child care workers.”

Emphasis mine. And speaking of emphasis, why didn’t he mention when he emphasized a piece of a quote? Probably because, “kids are king” wasn’t necessary to highlight, so why mention that he had?

Since children won’t really benefit from any of this, the article must be Ammons’ way of commenting that the grown-ups who are running the show in Olympia are behaving like children.

Children won’t benefit from child care, education or healthcare? Or a clean environment?

The other post is one that’s mostly a quote from Austin Jenkins and about spending priorities, but I’ll just quote the last paragraph where he tries to be clever.

For starters she could cut pay raises for state workers, industrial boondoggles, public campaign subsidies and her European tours; She could also privatize liquor stores. And is every dollar spent on “education”, truly well-spent? See: Evergreen State College Terrorist Training Camp and “outdoor education“. Suggestions, please: What should Mrs. Gregoire cut?

The thing about a “Terrorist Training Camp” is a link to a scholarship in Rachel Corrie’s name. And for that I would just like to say a hearty fuck you to Stefan Sharkansky. When an American dies crushed under a bulldozer for the crime of standing in front of a house, it’s proof that they are a terrorist.

I seriously can’t understand what would make someone tick like that. It takes a vile disgusting horrible human being to say that even if you disagree with her being there that her death is funny. Years later. That instead of removing her so they could bulldoze that house, that crushing an American is fine and dandy with him. Funny even. That her parents suffering the rest of their lives because their daughter was taken away is somehow not only OK but hilarious. That her friends and family suffering somehow deserves to be made fun of.

He probably masturbates to the Nick Berg video. He probably can’t even get an erection without thinking of dead Americans. That’s probably why he supports the war; more and more dead for as long as we’re there. And that’s why he loves to bring up Rachel Corrie in such a vile way.
