Talk about PATHETIC PEOPLE. Do all these McCain supporters have nothing better to do than to revel in their own sad, aimless state? Has the fact that Sara Palin has proven herself worthless of voter’s efforts led these blind, dumb, and deaf people to also lead equally worthless lives?
The president’s been sworn in already. YOU LOST! GET OVER IT!
Don’t get me wrong, there’s plenty to be griped about with our current presidential administration. But I will give Obama & Co. the benefit of the doubt for now, considering they’ve only had a few months to clean up the wad of horse sh*t left to us by the in-human conservative brutes and their wealthy whores of finance.
I realize this posting is really late in the game…if I wasn’t frantically searching for paying work I’d probably be able to focus my time better. But, on the issue of Obama’s citizenship…I’ll let the record speak for itself.
AIG has some frickin’ gad damn chutzpah. You mean to tell me after all the billion$ they needed to buttress this “cancer of finance” they want to reward their legions of disease? They may be huge, so huge that they need to be shut down. But they’re never going to pay back the money in full that the government stupidly threw at them. If those in charge decide to grant AIG the permission to blow frickin’ million$ on their minions you can be sure an ugly contempt will further brew in the public masses. And the nation will likely not forget this vile debauchery come voting time. AIG is morally no better than the insane nurse who polluted patients just so she could get her fix.
I’ve often daydreamed lately…that if the politicians had ever decided there was an education crisis of prolific magnitude threatening this country…and had decided to spend a fraction on education of what they’ve minted for these pig f*ckers in our financial system. What would our nation look like? Or what if they spent it on medical research or medical coverage for all? What if the system had such a vested interest or cared so much for every individual person that their every potential could be put back to work for the greater good. But…alas. Humans are savage creatures. For all our gadgetry and science we still prowl on our own like dumb prehistoric thugs. For all the might in our governances the system is breaking down. In ways nobody saw coming. The leaders better get hip. There are too many swells of grief in motion here. Too many lives clinging to weak yarns of hope. Beltway “business as usual” won’t weather this front. The backs of states are breaking. This snake eating its own tail has to sever the cycle. Obama and his people better be right…because as things get worse you know more of the innocent will get ravaged in the fight to the finish. I have hope, but I’m pretty damn terrified at the energy stewing these days.
The world can’t stop talking about Michael Jackson. So I suppose I’ll ad my own limited verbal spew on the topic. The years of my youth were certainly affected by the man with one glittering glove…and I was just as shocked as everybody else upon learning of his sudden passing. What I noticed in my own reaction was, I’d always presumed MJ would end up “buying the farm” at an extreme old age…helped along by a constant flow of money to every medical advancement available to extend life expectancy. But (if the allegations prove true) his unlimited access to a higher medical league of drugs put all his ambitions to rest. I for one can’t understand how any doctor could resort to regularly putting a patient into a medically induced coma and not think something is seriously wrong with such a dangerous situation. Chalk another one up to stupidity being the net result of endless ego.
Further into the world of pig headed Neanderthals, Sarah Palin announced her resignation well before her term in office is up. Many folks are speculating that she’s quitting so she can try and follow Reagan’s footsteps…taking some time to gear up for a victorious presidential run. If this is really the situation, I can’t wait for the next election. She’ll have even less real world experience to speak of by then…and the debates would surely lay her punk ass methods to waste. I wonder if Alaskans lament ever voting for her.
In the criminal world, Bernie Madoff’s wife broke her silence and issued a statement regarding her husband’s maniacal mayhem. She claims shock and shame due to her husband’s actions. But, when it came time to vacate her multi-million dollar home she asked if she could hang onto a fur coat. No doubt this was no cheap trinket…maybe she wanted to cling to one last testament to their fraudulent billion dollar glory days. Yet I can’t somehow shake the idea that after all the wretched suffering Madoff has generated, his wife had the balls to even ask about keeping anything. Did she think people would commiserate with her? Did she think nobody would notice she bed with heartless scum? Did she take up a job with the Swiss banking system? If any average person harbored common criminals there would be a guns-drawn storm at the gates by the authorities and local media. Yet, the actions of aiding and abetting opulent villany by even wealthier entities seem far beyond the reach of logical international law. On that I say, f*ck the Madoff family, f*ck the Swiss…and f*ck the tax dodging thugs whom they defend vehemently. They should all be mercilessly flogged in public for crimes against humanity.
I’m no economist, I’m no deal making money roller sitting in a bathtub full of opulence while underlings are flecked off like crusty old scabs. I don’t stand a chance against the mental firepower of those “smart people” up at the top. These folks who, against the better interests of humankind, pitted the fortunate & wealthy vermin over the greater tax paying masses. Now, along with the many list long of legacy “benefits” granted us by the Bush administration, we’ve got a posh crony defending illegal financial fingerbanging. Documentation of this oil lubed sadistic orgy offers probably only a small fraction of what fisting these fools have had to offer. Under their guidance our mighty superpower has been kicked squah in the nuts. I wouldn’t be surprised if ten years from now some dying White House assistant surfaces with graphic photographs of Alberto Gonzales, Ben Bernanke, Kenneth D. Lewis, and George W. Bush in a a sweaty, froth filled “cock-goblin” maniacal frenzy. I’d bet that Bernanke comes from the same polluted DNA strain as Bernie Madoff. These guys are amazing at keeping a straight face while providing complete bullshit. I’d write more about these demons of finance…but I have to get back to looking for paying work because of the “wisdom” these “intelligent” men had to offer us. I can’t yet claim lucrative knowledge, but I know a corrupt asshole when I see one.
How I love the Republicans. If they didn’t have such ridiculous ways about them, we’d not drool at the juicy opportunity to revel in their rot.
Apparently, Sarah Palin thinks she’s really special. So special in fact, that she considers herself hallowed ground when it comes to twisted humor. Now, every politician knows that being in the limelight comes with the great risk of being ridiculed & lampooned. But, if David Letterman chose to poke fun at the idea of nymphonecropedophiles having their way with Sarah’s new grandchild, I might cut Sarah some slack for her feeling offended. With the terrible state of the country (or should I say, cuntry) at large, and so many lives being torn to shreds over the economy, you’d think she could blather about something more meaningful than being likened to a slutty flight attendant by a late night comedian. Possibly, Sarah might be just the type of person who’d defend rich kids who have no job experience getting out of college, who also get monthly allowances of $10K a month for their overpriced life in condos all over Williamsburg & Bushwick, Brooklyn. And…once you put your kids on your expense reports, you’re fair game.
I should expect nothing less from the base of folks who think Ronald Reagan was the last noble human to walk the Earth. These creatures love to work themselves into a frothy lather over the “Good Old Gipper Days.” However, when I was growing up in the 80s, those years were pockmarked with crack vials littered everywhere in the streets, gunshots in the neighborhood at night, festering open lots filled with rats, stray dogs, abandoned cars…trash…tires, and the occasional murder victim. I bet Rush Limbaugh didn’t get mugged a few times on the way to and from grammar school. It’s too bad, he might have a human character behind those evil words of his.
The lands are beleaguered with angst. It almost plays out like an Intervention episode…where an individual is surrounded by those forcefully (and wishfully) attempting to instill reason to the weakly addicted. The lust & clamoring for more leverage (credit) has dug a rabbit hole far too deep for our Alice. I learned this the hard way myself not too long ago…where, after that tragic day on September 11th, I wandered aimlessly trying to find decent income while overloaded with the ball & chain of my spending sprees. It took an embarrassing length of time to get things in order…and during that time I watched the housing frenzy tempt me with the notions of buying a home with no money down (even with my battered credit scores). I’d learned by then that any deal too good to be true was to be met with extreme skepticism…like so many slot machines and game tables in Vegas…like that feigned interest by the ladies at gentlemen’s clubs (or Hooters). Now Detroit’s Big Three are even in the mix, with their decades of over spending, their time has come as well. They could have become streamlined & more competitive long ago…but they chose bloat over sensibility. The universal fear is no one knows when or how to make the bleeding stop…or where will it end…or whether another unforeseen geyser of hemorrhaging will suddenly appear elsewhere. The Great Contraction is upon us…countless billion$ in growth now returning to sustainable levels…at a rate the machine can realistically sustain over time. And it ain’t pretty. Where will the people go? What will they do for work? Who can fix this…when…and how? I hold great optimism for Obama & his chosen people. But this interim period between administrations seems like a chaotic time that is too sensitive to disruption…where anything can happen. If the Almighty is listening, the raucous roars of prayer by the masses must be deafening.
Allow me to bathe in a moment of arrogant joy. After watching G.W. Bush win two elections where I received an arsenal of brutal words at the notion G.W.B. wasn’t the right man for our nation…this moment in history belongs to the legions of Americans in despair at where our nation finds itself. I’m in hope those full red states give our new president and the country the support needed to get us all to a better place. Our image in the world has been tarnished, and out economy is in tatters. I’ve read comments posted in paranoia, fear, and ignorance that our new team to rule our nation is on some path for a “hidden agenda”…that they’ll bear fruits of socialism and poor economic course correction. But after witnessing McCain’s concession speech, and President Elect Obama’s victory speech…I don’t think I’ve ever been more optimistic about the future of America. There are fireworks going on in my neighborhood. We have a new Democratic president, and history has been made: http://www.cnn.com/2008/POLITICS/11/04/election.president/index.html
After John McCain’s interview on the David Letterman show…I have an immense amount of new found respect for David Letterman (he should be voted Journalist of the Year even though he’s a comedian)…as opposed to enforcing the dwindling impression of John McCain.
Brave past the dumb CBS ad before the episode and give it a full viewing.
What happened here? We were supposed to be the most admired nation of the planet. For decades our government touted our successes around the globe with the confidence that our system should be emulated by everyone. Now, that arrogant pulpit has a mud all over it. The nations we’ve scorned over the years would be bathing in their own delight if it weren’t for the fact we’ve spread our gloom across all currencies and borders. The most tragic part of this chapter is it stems from the most primal of all the world’s sins: greed. You’d think this was a difficult new concept to absorb…but humans are inherently rotten. Our government became the puppets of cannibal-capitalism gone awry…and the “Wild Wild West” days of debt trading have done themselves in. What a fitting way to send off the Bush administration in its final days.
Back in high school I had a Social Studies teacher who claimed the pages of history had shown us the odds were pretty good that America would evolve into a more socialist type of government. Well, here we are…holding onto a freight train going over a cliff. The super wealthy blame everybody else…and we’ve not seen one person or company being held accountable (a few brow beatings at best), if nothing else to at least reassure us that justice is still alive and well. But with so much deregulation, what laws are they going to charge people with breaking? Other than of course telling investors the house is sound when termites are feeding on the foundation.
All this vaguely reminds me of General Motors and the EV1…they were basically ahead of their time on this one, and they’d be way out ahead of their competitors by now…but their lusting over SUV profits & the bantering of their buddies in Big Oil crushed that project. Now, GM is fighting for its survival for just long enough to get their next electric vehicle into the showrooms. Hopefully by then people can actually get the credit they need to buy one.
The Patriot Act and the array of big bailouts of Wall Street’s fat pigs has slid a monstrous socialist movement in under our feet…not as we slept oblivious to current events, but while we all watched in horror and dismay.
During the first presidential election night when G.W.B. won, one of my coworkers at the time ranted on and on about how if G.W.B. didn’t win there would be a surge in capital gains taxes and more. Well Allison, your boy won, twice, and how does that capital gains tax argument fair now? I’d bet every wealthy body, 401K, hedge fund, CDS jockey, General Electric executive, Wall Street trader, mortgage holder, Countrywide mortgage broker, pension fund, AIG investor, Lehman Brothers employee, and the rest of the world would gladly trade a bit of taxation & regulation over the Katrina-type chaos financials are in now. Debt overflowed the dyke, and a proud system is in ruins…some bodies won’t be found for months. How ironic.
