I hope people get to know this guy. He would be great for this country.

I submitted this to the official Obama campaign tumblr but I don’t think they will let it be posted for some reason
Imperialism with a smile! Start your morning right with a friendly bombing campaign for totally disinterested, humanitarian motives — when it comes time to fill up the car, you’ll be glad you did.
“To be governed is to be watched over, inspected, spied on, directed, legislated over, regulated, docketed, indoctrinated, preached at, controlled, assessed, weighed, censored, ordered about, by men who have neither right, nor knowledge, nor virtue.” — Pierre-Joseph Proudhon (via fuckyeahdrugpolicy)

therewasthissomething-deactivat asked: Gentlemen is a brilliant album. Amongst my favourites and you just reminded my to listen to it again. cheers.
Every time I go back and listen it gets better and better.
“I went to a party last night.
What sick things I saw.
Makeout sessions and bicycle messengers,
Punks and art school dropouts.
I ran into this guy I knew
But hadn’t seen in years.
We went into the neon kitchen and stole a couple beers.
He said his girl had dumped him
But there was another guy.
He said that he still liked her.
All I could say was,
“Why, why, oh why, oh why,
Why is it always like this?
Either you’re too mean, or you’re too nice.”
He said, “I even cooked her breakfast.”
So we went into the living room.
Someone was blasting Zeppelin.
It sounded good.
I felt ashamed.
I knew every drum fill.
Anyway, there she sat,
Totally kissing this guy.
They looked good, I mean like in love.
Then I remembered my friend.
He said, “How could you do this?
You said that you needed your space.
He’s wearing the shirt that I gave you.”
Then she said, “Why, why, oh why, oh why,
Why are you always like this?
If I’m having fun then it’s breaking your heart.
Besides, you said I could have it.”
Then the cops showed up.”

The Federal Reserve Secretly Funds Illegal Wars -
Since the beginning of the Iraq War in 2003, the New York Federal Reserve has been shipping tens of billions of dollars to the government and central bank of Iraq, ostensibly for reconstruction and resumption of governmental services after the fall of Saddam Hussein. Between 2003 and 2008, over $40 billion in cash was secretly shipped in trucks from the New York Federal Reserve compound in East Rutherford, New Jersey to Andrews Air Force Base outside of Washington, where they were then flown by military aircraft to Baghdad International Airport. In just the first two years, the shipments of dollar bills weighed a total of 363 tons.
But much of that money was stolen, misappropriated, and simply lost. Despite Congressional hearings and reports, official inquiries from Washington to Baghdad, an investigating special inspector general’s office and Department of Defense, nobody knows exactly what happened to the bulk of the money. Likely destinations of the stolen fiat, secretly printed out of thin air to fund the US government’s illegal war and occupation in Iraq, went towards intricate contracting schemes, corrupt Iraqi and American officials, and brash, blanket appropriations in war torn Iraq.
