I’m sitting here watching this clown give a speech about the history of how we got into this shit in the first place. Noticing how he’s putting the blame on everything except the war he’s started in Iraq and Afghanistan. Forget about the billions if not trillions these wars have cost us but sure it’s the fault of the financial institutions and the Americans who couldn’t budget properly.

The talk show hosts love when he gets on the air and then they start up about how great he is and then a few days later they’re back on railing on the guy.

He says his “natural instincts” are to let bad companies go under for making bad decisions. Well that explains the problem right there. His ‘bad decisions’ are making the U.S. go under but of course it’s not his fault or responsibility.

The main problem is that our sacrifice for over 100 years has not been equitable to the common folk. They’re constantly subjected to markets based on nothing more than gambling on the future. You do know what the ‘Futures’ market is? Well that’s it. We bet on stocks, bonds, annuities etc. and then there’s credit. We bet we’ll be able to pay it back. We’re living on ‘maybes’ and they never come. It’s a scam.

Instead of bailing out the big corporations, bail out the home mortgage owners so they can start companies based on sanity and fair play instead of bailing out mega corporations that already have shown their inadequacies.

America deserves better not a big idiot gamble with $700 billion of our money. They’ve already gambled and lost, why risk what little we have again?

Invest in the American and you’ll gain a million fold in return. Invest in the corporate idiots and you’ll end up right back in the shit again.

Did you ever stop to think that we’re actually discussing the fact that we need to bailout financial institutions to the tune of over $700 billion?

The mere idea that in this day and age that we as a species could have fucked up this much and have landed ourselves in so much shit that we have to bail out the people and institutions who walk away with tens of millions if not billions of dollars in severance packages for screwing up this bad?

How in the world did we get this deep in it? Very simply, we got greedy, stupid, and it’s now a reality that at least half the population of the United States is out of their damned minds.

That half doesn’t think, they react to hearsay, innuendo, and downright idiotic gossip. We followed a madman and his oil cronies into a war that was probably inevitable to the point our largest financial bonus in U.S. history got eaten up blowing up a country that didn’t have an army.

Why? Because the same family, the Bush family, that has been a plague to the United States since the mid to late 1800′s is still running around fucking things up.

See, it’s Bush’s fault!

Not, but they sure are there smack dab in the middle of it all.

Bottom line is the financial fate of the world is in the balance and although John McCain may mean well, he’s got to prove to us beyond any shadow of a doubt that he’s no flunky of the oil magnates.

Obama on the other hand has to show he won’t turn into some liberal zombie tossing around what little we do have trying to save the world.

Let it be known we’re in the mess we’re in because leadership in this country has been allowed to be measured by how much money you can muster, not how much courage you have.

Gov. Palin’s daughter’s “Baby Daddy”

This shit is too funny to believe. Governor of Alaska Sarah Palin’s daughter hits the news because she’s underage and pregnant. News hit the wires faster than a Britney Spears sighting.

This election has now entered the “Jerry Springer” stage and I expect during the first debate between Palin and Joe Biden a fist fight will break out on stage and someone will start throwing chairs.

In the story he is semi quoted as referring to himself as a “redneck”. The mere thought of “rednecks” making it as far north as Alaska and breeding is more frightening than the spread of West Nile Virus.

Doesn anyone else think that things have gotten so out of hand that they can’t write situation comedy characters more funny and screwed up than our own lives? It’s said “truth is stranger than fiction” but no mention about it being “funnier than comedy”.

I guess Shakespeare would disagree.

Anyhow, in all fairness just because one of your family members is governor of the largest land mass state in the union doesn’t mean everyone is going to be Brady Bunch perfect. People make mistakes and when we’re thrust into the limelight all our dirty laundry hits the air. This matter will be handled by the Governor and her family and friends and hopefully these two young people will have a healthy baby and live a happy life together.

Maybe Palin and McCain will nominate Jerry Springer for Secretary of the Interior.

I couldn’t resist it. I’m soooo bad!
