DOUCHEBAGS OF THE YEAR!

Greetings puny Earthlings!

You calendar says that this is the last day of your year 2010. Well, good for you, you managed to make it another year without blowing yourselves up, but you keep on trying. So let's look at those who took douchebaggery into the next level, I'm talking out our DOUCHEBAGS OF THE YEAR!!

Here they are in no particular odor!

BILLIONAIRES

You gotta love these guys, they make billions of dollars, and then support politicians, and even openly campaign for causes, like higher taxes, to prevent others from joining their happy little club. While they declare that everyone else needs to hand over their income to the government, they get patted on the back as moral paragons for putting some of their mega-fortunes in tax-free charitable foundations.

And while we're on the topic of moral paragons, let's look at the one the media love to back-pat the most, Warren Buffet and his position on the cancer tobacco industry:

"I’ll tell you why I like the cigarette business. It costs a penny to make. Sell it for a dollar. It’s addictive. And there’s fantastic brand loyalty." — Warren Buffett, quoted in Barbarians at the Gate: The Fall of RJR Nabisco

That sounds like the attitude of a true moral paragon.

JULIAN ASSANGE

Everything about this guy screams sleaze. That's really all I can say about him.

BRADLEY MANNING

Word is that this fellow brags that he committed treason, and put hundreds, if not thousands of lives in danger because he was feeling pissy about "Don't ask, don't tell." I think that the fact that he used a Lady Gaga CD to commit said treason is a clear case of "telling."

Now his allies and lawyers are running to the United Nations screaming that they should force the USA to let him go over bogus accusations that he's being "tortured." If he was really being tortured, any complaints would go to the Inspector General of the US military. The IG's office can actually do something. The UN can only do one thing: Sway the media and the Democrats with pleas for mercy from such civil liberty utopias of Syria, Iran, and North Korea.

He is not being tortured. Right now he's being treated like he's made of glass and tissue paper, because they need him in one piece in order to hang him. They have to hang him because America's rather light record on treating treason and the people who commit it convinced him that he can get away with it, and if he does, America can kiss its national security goodbye.

THE MAINSTREAM MEDIA

They really don't need to be mentioned.

THE TSA

Badly run, with a philosophy centered on harassing the innocent over catching the guilty. How long do you think it will take before some Iman files a lawsuit that gets Muslims a special pass from security scans and airport fondle fests? I'm betting it will happen in 2011.

THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY

People wondered what the Democrats would do with control of both the White House and Congress, and now we know: They went completely bat-shit insane. To hell with the constitution, to hell with voters, and to hell with logic and rationality.

EARTHLING SCIENTISTS

From continuing to propagate the myth of man-made climate change (take from an alien whose been around a few millennium, CLIMATES CHANGE ALL THE TIME), to lame pseudo-studies that claim to "explain" conservatism as some sort of mental deficiency.

In my empire we don't need humor magazines, we have your scientific journals for our shits and giggles.

JON STEWART & STEPHEN COLBERT

Jon Stewart is the new Ed Murrow for criticizing Republicans for criticizing a bill that will probably end up denying health care to 9-11 first responders because vague wording makes it wildly susceptible to fraud. But Stewart's writers told him to demand it be passed, and so he did, because he's an obedient little court jester to his Democrat masters.

Then there's the so-called "Rally To Restore Sanity" he held with his catamite Colbert. It was more of a "Rally To Inflate Our Sense of Smug Superiority."

THE FCC

Net neutrality, the government's plan to regulate the internet by eliminating competition and controlling bandwidth couldn't pass through congress. So the Obama administration passed the ball to their obedient bureaucratic minions in the FCC to begin the process of whittling down free speech into nothing. Expect a regulatory return of the "Fairness Doctrine" to shut down talk radio and Fox News.

It's useless, and should be disbanded.

Speaking of useless

PUBLIC SECTOR UNIONS

Didn't need to be created, because there already were laws on the books ensuring the rights and privileges of public employees. The unions were formed during the Kennedy administration to create a permanent bloc that would vote for the party that consistently fattened up their salaries and memberships and to hell with the consequences, and by that I mean, the Democrats.

THE IVY LEAGUE

The Ivy League went from being the best centers of learning available, to centers for the elite to congregate and perpetuate their own, and now it's become a diploma factory for folks with either the money, or the ability to play politically correct academic games.

I now hold a Harvard degree against a politician.

Anyway if you're on this list, then...

Keep watching the skies, because we're watching you.
