DUMBO Agencies Suggest You ‘Bill Boehner’ Via Tweet

billboehner

And so, the government shutdown has lingered on for over eight days now, and with no resolution in sight before the debt ceiling increase deadline on Oct. 17 (aka Judgment Day), DUMBO agencies Matter and Cooke & Co. are mad as hell and they’re not gonna take it anymore. So, they decided to launch a web effort that not only serves as a depressing, continuous reminder of how much the shutdown is affecting taxpayers, but a platform that lets you essentially send an invoice to Speaker of the House John Boehner for your losses. How? Well, how else these days but via Twitter. The image below basically sums it up, and while your efforts might prove fruitless, why not give it a shot during this woeful governmental gridlock.

#Snowden4PeacePrize

A curveball hits the American psyche.


DAILY PAUL

Imagine what a curveball it would be to the American psyche if Edward Snowden won the Nobel Peace Prize. In a country where 80% of people think he’s a traitor, the finger could finally turn on the nation … Snowden holding the mirror.

For too long the United States has been able to carefully stage-manage the geopolitical levers of global legitimacy, able to shift the world’s attention from their misgivings to the actions of others. Obama was given the prize in 2008, but it wasn’t enough to steer the US into a sane and sustainable direction … the world leader some still think it can be. Since then we’ve only seen drones … and more drones. The Nobel Laureate Edward Snowden would be a not-so-subtle reminder for Obama to walk his talk … to live up to that original hope Oslo once believed he stood for.

The rebel-side of America has been subdued for far too long. Washington. Adams. Hale. Jefferson. Let’s remind them of the better angels of America, the country that it could be, the one that was dreamt up, idealistically, by individuals just like Snowden who stood for principle at all costs.

Snowden wining Nobel peace prize at this critical moment in history would be a bombshell exploding at the heart of America’s military-industrial complex that could bring this out-of-control spy-op to a sudden shuddering halt.
