Take a good long look at George W’s business past. Really, take 45 minutes and do some homework for yourself.
Google the Texas Rangers baseball team and Harkin Energy. Google it and read. Do some work for yourself and stop waiting for pundits to tell you how to think. Do the hard work, people!
WAKE UP.
Bottom line: George W. is recidivate in plundering public assets for personal gain. This time personal gain is purely one of hubris: he is most concerned in how he will look in the history books. I hope he will go down like Hoover -- sucking the whole way.
Today George W., who deregulated banking, which allowed this horrendous financially fatal event to happen, now wants us to bail his rich, old white ass out. Again.
He wants the public, Main Street, to bail out Wall Street. He wants the people who make less than 250 thousand dollars a year to bail out the Wall Street people who make well over 250 thousand a year, which doesn’t include their bonuses. (Wall Street bonuses are about 3 or 5 times what you make in a year. Really.)
We have to bail them out or we’re all screwed.
We are “Main Street.” They are “Wall Street”. And we have to bail them out to save ourselves.
So, if we are “Regular” Americans on Main Street, who are the “Non-Regular” people on Wall Street?
Are Wall Street people Super-Americans? Better Americans? I’ll tell you who they are. They’re Rich Protected Americans.
They’re the people George W Bush used to cater to.
But now, his Republican cronies are not standing for it anymore. They’re super-pissed, because now they’re dealing with the same idiot the rest of us have been dealing with for the past eight years. He’s now dragged them into the same hole he’s dragged us into. And they don't like the hole! Ohhh, too bad!
Hi! Welcome to the hole we’ve been telling you about for the past eight years! Make yourself comfortable. We’re ready to eat your eyes.
But those rich House Republicans aren’t accustomed to things not going their way. They’re not ready to cut the lines on golden parachutes for Wall Street CEOs and CFOs. They’re not ready to say the people we’re bailing out have to pay us back, because they still have to cater to the rich.
They want US to continue to protect the Rich People on Wall Street who are responsible for this.
But it doesn’t matter.
The common folk will have to bail them out anyway.
Because we always do. Because we are the rank and file regular Americans. And the mistakes of the “Ruling Party” are always taken out on the “Regular” people.
Until the regular people revolt.
Are you ready?

Hey folks. I'm sure by now that all of you who can vote have registered. Just wanted to remind you that you can't wear any political buttons or t-shirts or any of that stuff to the polls. They will turn you away and you could lose your chance to have your voice heard. So take it off. Take it all off. Then go do your civic duty.

Fundamental Thanks!
Wow, I'm so thankful for our brilliant country. I have so many people to thank!
I’d like to start by thanking George W. Bush for doing the “Fundamentally Republican” thing and making government smaller by taking the horrendous duty of “regulating” banks off the government’s back and allowing banks to regulate themselves. That’s working out really, really well! I’ve lost tens of thousands of dollars! Thank you Republicans! You’re the best.
I’d also like to thank John “Chipmunk Gland” McCain for assuring us that our banking system is “fundamentally” sound. If fundamentally sound means printing more money without any actual value behind it -– he’s right!!! Keep up the good work!
And I’d also like to thank the Christian fundamentalists for being so fundamentally sure that the big, scary, “elite and intelligent” Democrats are going to ruin the country. I have to agree, they sure wouldn’t do as well at driving us into the gutter as the “Fundamentally Correct” Republicans are doing! Great job, Jesus Freaks! Keep up the good work. Keep looking for “enemies” that are “fundamentally” against you. Keep up your witch hunt until we’re all broke and as frightened and panic-stricken as you are. Oh boy, if driving us all to crazed desperation doesn’t turn us all Christian, what will?!
Good work America! Good work!

Letter from Hell!
Sandra O’Day,
Who the hell do you think you are? You don’t believe in God or hell and you openly scorn a Sara Palin who is God’s gift to our liberal burdened country. You are in serious danger of burning in hells eternal fire unless you change your ways. We are watching you!
Wow, thanks no-name! What an intriguing, smart letter. Just what one expects from the conservative right. Who needs extra funding for education? Let’s break that letter down!
Who the hell do you think you are?
I am an ex-con motivational speaker. I also have anger management issues.
You don’t believe in God or hell and you openly scorn a Sara Palin who is God’s gift to our liberal burdened country.
I don’t believe in God, that’s true. But I know sharing the planet with people like you is hell.
I do scorn “a” Sara Palin. She isn’t a gift to anyone except suicidal moose.
As for our liberal-burdened country – I think we need the “burden” of someone like Bill Clinton back in the White House. Remember the national debt when he left office? Oh, right, there was none. It was a surplus.
You are in serious danger of burning in hells eternal fire unless you change your ways.
I’ll be making s’mores and serving Mojitos when you get there. (And you need an apostrophe to make Hell possessive. Hell’s eternal fire.)
We are watching you
You can sign up for an O’Day Workshop and view me up close! I think it would work wonders for you.

Pray Away The Gay with Palin!
The Following from a radical Jesus Freak who claims to be on "O'Day Watch"
My comments follow.
Dear Sandra,
Hey, Finally a cure for being Gay! I know so many people that will benefit from such a program. GOD BLESS this church and Sarah Palin!!! Please pass along to all Gay people you know!
Associated Press:
ANCHORAGE, Alaska — Gov. Sarah Palin's church is promoting a conference that promises to convert gays into heterosexuals through the power of prayer. "You'll be encouraged by the power of God's love and His desire to transform the lives of those impacted by homosexuality," according to the insert in the bulletin of the Wasilla Bible Church, where Palin has prayed for about six years.
Palin's conservative Christian views have energized that part of the GOP electorate, which was lukewarm to John McCain's candidacy before he named her as his vice presidential choice. She is staunchly anti-abortion, opposing exceptions for rape and incest, and opposes gay marriage and spousal rights for gay couples.
Focus on the Family, a national Christian fundamentalist organization, is conducting the "Love Won Out" Conference in Anchorage, about 30 miles from Wasilla. Palin, campaigning with McCain in the Midwest on Friday, has not publicly expressed a view on the so-called "pray away the gay" movement. Larry Kroon, senior pastor at Palin's church, was not available to discuss the matter Friday, said a church worker who declined to give her name. Gay activists in Alaska said Palin has not worked actively against their interests, but early in her administration she supported a bill to overrule a court decision to block state benefits for gay partners of public employees. At the time, less than one-half of 1 percent of state employees had applied for the benefits, which were ordered by a 2005 ruling by the Alaska Supreme Court. Palin reversed her position and vetoed the bill after the state attorney general said it was unconstitutional. But her reluctant support didn't win fans among Alaska's gay population, said Scott Turner, a gay activist in Anchorage. "Less than 1 percent of state employees would even apply for benefits, so why make a big deal out of such a small number?" he said. "I think gay Republicans are going to run away" if Palin supports efforts like the prayers to convert gays, said Wayne Besen, founder of the New York-based Truth Wins Out, a gay rights advocacy group. Besen called on Palin to publicly express her views now that she's a vice presidential nominee."People are looking at Sarah Palin as someone who might feasibly be in the White House," he said.
OK Folks, I do my best not to blow my stack and I try to keep my language clean. But you have got to be fucking kidding me. Gay Republicans? Get out of the “Self-Hate” game! I think Gay Republicans deserve her. But the rest of us don’t.
Sarah Palin, while being a strong speaker with good looks, is a fascist. She believes the war is “Gods Will.” She goes to a church that believes it can turn homosexuals into heterosexuals because they believe homosexuality is "wrong" and that it makes god cry or something. She believes that Christianity is the ONLY religion that is right, when in truth there is something wrong with all fundamentalist religions. What’s wrong with fundamentalist religions? Not the various deities, but their frothing, lunatic followers. Fundamentalists are dangerous crackpots that torture and kill over who is the favorite of some imaginary friend up in the sky.
Fundamentalists do not believe in equality for all, only for those who are a part of their particular smug, blood-drinking religious sect.
Now, I’ve always said I don’t care what you believe. If you pray to a statue of a ceramic cat and that makes you feel good, terrific. Just don’t tell me I have to do it, too. Then we’re fine. But fundamentalists don’t feel that way. You have to do, say and believe like they do or you’re wrong and not worthy of basic protection and equality. They seem to feel that belief is tantamount to behavior. They can do anything they like –- lie, cheat, condemn others, make money off the war and treat the non-believers like crap just because they “believe the right things”.
And for all your Jesus Freaks out there who are on “O’Day Watch” you can stop sending me the “believe in Jesus or you will go to hell e-mails.” The fact that we exist in the same galaxy IS HELL. When I die it will only be better –- because you won’t be there.
And I hope Jesus does come back soon. I really, really do. Because he will kick your smug, righteous asses to the curb and go back to hanging out with prostitutes and lepers, just like he did when he was here last time.

The Blame Game
Hello O’Dayers! The following is an exchange that recently took place on Facebook between my client, Oliver, my former prison mate, Sally and myself.
Oliver hates his parotid gland.
Sally: Oh crap, now I have to go look that one up
Sandra O'Day: A parotid is a big ear gland. One on either side, just like ears. Makes spit or something. Why would one hate it?
Oliver: Because when your bitch of a grandmother forces you to drink soup that you know is too hot 4 years ago which causes scarring once scalded, the glad won't excrete and the saliva backs up causing the gland to inflame. The result is days of discomfort until manually "pressed" when the infectious liquid can seep out and over your teeth. All day. Yum!
Sandra O'Day: Did she pour hot soup down your throat? Or were you merely pandering to shut her trap? Define "forces you to drink soup" for me. Because I think you took action that you're blaming others for. And that's not what we practice at O'Day Sessions, is it Oliver? I hope your saliva fixes up soon.
Oliver: Pandering. Once again Sandra you are correct in your observations. I am lucky to have discovered your teachings in my life. Thank you. I sent the check by the way so they can stop calling now. Thanks :)
I look forward to hearing your stories of immense personal struggle and will continue to inspire you.
