The Long, Hot Summer Continues.........

This week marks the halfway point in another long, hot summer full of misery and despair for countless Poor Bastards throughout The Kingdom. Especially those Unfortunate Poor Bastards who find themselves trapped in the hell-hole east of the Rocky Mountains where a "heat dome" has settled in over much of the region, resulting in temperatures which in some cases have been upwards of 105 degrees for the last several weeks.

The National Weather Service's own misery index, known simply as the "heat index", has been reported to be as high as 115 degrees in certain areas where the combination of temperature and humidity create conditions that supposedly make it feel like it is 115 degrees even though the actual temperature is much lower....sort of a misery booster for the Poor Bastard.

As reported previously the Fraternal Order of the Poor Bastards own Poor Bastard's Misery Index has been elevated to the highest ranking for almost two weeks after the High Council announced that it was now officially Ridiculously F-ing Miserable!

Meanwhile Rank & File Poor Bastards throughout the realm are being subjected to a political screw job of monumental proportions by the criminal class of Poor Bastard otherwise known as Congress....

In a move which is nothing short of the disemboweling of the Working Class Poor Bastard, congressional "conservatives" and other indiscriminate degenerates in Congress, along with The White House and those mindless Dumb F-k Poor Bastards who have embraced the silly "Tea Party" notion that has swept the country, with the help of any number of Billionaire Poor Bastards and their cash, are working feverishly to destroy what little semblance is left of the social security safety net.

By demonizing the concept of "entitlements" these Degenerate Poor Bastards have successfully convinced half  The Kingdom that the country is going to crash and burn in an economic apocalypse if we don't eliminate social security and medicare spending from the federal budget; and then give all that money to those Thieving Poor Bastards on Wall Street.

Of course there has been no serious talk of cutting military spending, corporate subsidies, or welfare for the rich - otherwise known as "tax cuts" - and of course there has been no discussion regarding a reduction in taxes on the rest of us Garden-Variety Poor Bastards.....but then that's because we are all supposed to just sit back and dutifully foot the bill for the fiscal indiscretions of the Bloated Poor Bastard aristocrat class who can't seem to accumulate enough billions to satisfy their ravenous appetite for conspicuous excess!

As Mark Twain, that American icon of the Poor Bastard Class, once observed,

"It could probably be shown by facts and figures that there is no distinctly native American criminal class except Congress!"
