Belated JOW.

Sorry, guys. In my first week back I couldn't even get the JOW out on Friday. My bad.

Just because I didn't get one out, doesn't mean the jerkasses of the world stopped working on their jerkassity. No, sadly, this was a big week in jerkass and we're going to have to name one of our own as the JOW.

I know the President doesn't read this blog. He's a busy guy, what with all the capitulating and all. Seriously, it takes a lot of time. how can you be expected to negotiate with yourself all week and have time to read the Evilblog. As the W once said, "It's hard work."

Well, don't make it so damn hard. Make it hard for the other guys. Pass the damn tax cuts for 98% of Americans in the House. Actually, that's selling it wrong because the 2% still get the tax cut that everyone else gets they just don't get an extra one on their income over $250k. Just pass it.

Now, I know Republicans are threatening to filibuster it in the Senate, and I know in the past that threat has made you scared. Here's a question, why? What are you scared of? Let them. Let them hold up tax cuts for all in order to give tax cuts to the top 2%. Let them filibuster all night and all day. Meanwhile, make it clear that we can't afford more and that everyone gets the tax cuts proposed.

If that is not enough, go talk to Sen. Mark Warner. He's got a good compromise plan. Now, I doubt Republicans will go for that, especially after you've signaled that you will give them what they want, but it's never too late to grow a spine and stop acting like Mitch McConnell is in charge. Your the President, act like it.

So, for negotiating with himself for a week, President Obama is the Jerkass of the Week. Don't let it happen again.

Have a great weekend, folks. Go City! Go Vols!! Go Grizz!!! Get crunk!!!!
