Good news

27newnuclearplants

As your "liberal", alternative to the Republicans, President, commissions new Nuclear Power Plants, look at this old ad, see that the Nuclear "green" lie has been around for awhile. And remember, you fucking elected him.
Bush might've wiped his ass with civil rights but he didn't build new nuclear reactors. That's your president. Well done.

-l-

too busy

26writeyrcongrsman

But what if your congressman can't read? Also, I like the idea that if you don't write to them, don't fucking complain, because, if you elect them, they're just going to do whatever, until you tell them what you want.

Last Frontier

04lastfrontier

More ads from the space age. How exciting it must've been, to open magazines and see companies stepping over each other, trying to show how they were going to be the ones to help us explore the vast reaches of infinity.
Now it's just car ads and companies tripping over each with phony bullshit about how they're the greener airplane fuel provider.

Monsanto. Working for you. You have to love the back in the day attitude, where companies were proud and boastful of the missiles they made.

THE CATHEDRAL OF HATE
