Biden Strikes Again

In a hushed conversation prior to the press conference....

BO: "Joe, nice work on those Swine Flu comments!"
JB: "Thanks!"
BO: "That was sarcasm you dumbass."
JB: "um....haha.....huh?"
BO: "Nevermind"
JB: "Hey, don't forget I helped you carry the stupid white male 40-59 demographic."
BO: "Oh trust me, I'm reminded regularly."
JB: "The good news for you? The people out there are more stupid than you."

BO, JB: (common laughter)

American Idol 24x7?

Here is another example of what no one seems to care about. It might be internet spook-speak. But more than likely it's true. Most of this is beyond me which, IMO, is a fundamental problem. Selling things that don't exist, selling homogenized debt, all of it leads to no good. The organizations are larger than anyone could possible manage. And who's leading the charge of large organizations...that's right our own federal goverment. How can we expect our corporate leaders to do the right thing when they see what our government is able to get away with.

American Idol 24x7 indeed.

Dear Chuck,

I saw your little speech on the floor of the senate the other day. While I don't know what is required to be considered a member of your "chattering class", I can say that I am a member of another class, the New York registered voters class.

As such, I'd like to let you know my perspective on the Economic Reinvestment and Recovery Act of 2009. I do care. I care about the good spending and bad spending. I care about the pork and the real stimulus. I care about each and every dollar you and your ass-hatted cohorts spend because that is one more dollar (sic) that my grandchildren will have to pay back....with interest.

You'll tax us with direct taxes. You'll tax us with inflation. You'll do whatever it takes to maintain the facade that our government knows best to ensure the security of your "political class". You had one thing right. There is a class of people that don't care about pork amendments. I call them the American Idol class. They're the ones that are asleep. They're the ones that either don't vote in politics or vote for whomever will guarantee their ability to watch American Idol and provide them the opportunity to make a meaningful vote.

But that's not me. I'm a member of a class of people that you don't want to piss off Chuck. Let's call us the SADOL class. We've been praying that our government would find it's way in these dark times. Hoping that men of honor would rise up, take charge, and bring real leadership. Alas, all we keep seeing is you, Dodd, McCain, Specter, Frank and of course Pelosi. We know that God hears our prayers, but He doesn't intend to do the wet work for us. We're going to have to take action. You, "my friend", are playing a gigantic game of Jenga, and you best be careful. There is a huge shitstorm of trouble about to fall on your head if you are not careful with your next piece.

Let me make this promise to you. When you are near the end, with your drool-covered chin, your fouled undergarments, and your failing health, I will be right there for you. I'll make sure you get all the benefits of our future national health care system AND NOTHING MORE. This is my promise to you Chuck.

And let me finish with a slightly editorialized version of a quote from Harrison Ford's character Jack Ryan in the movie Patriot Games.

"I don't give a shit whether you voted for it or not. But if you screw me, my children, and my grand-children, I will put such a stranglehold on your tax money that you will be out in the streets panhandling for your social program! I will fucking destroy you! I will make it my mission in life!"

The Sons and Daughters of Liberty (SADOL) are watching you Chuck. And we care about every dollar, every line of legislation, and every tiny, porky infringement on our liberties. Careful with that next Jenga piece.

What were those meetings like?

Picture this. G.W Bush and Henry Paulson go into a meeting. Can anyone else fit in the room with Frik, Frak and their enormous egos? This is EXACTLY the bait and switch I expected from the man who's got the balls to make this statement:

“I determined that the most timely, effective step to improve credit market conditions was to strengthen bank balance sheets quickly through direct purchases of equity in banks.”

Notice the pronoun use. Notice the complete disregard for the letter of the legislation. Where the F is the sumpreme court? Paralyzed by fear like 299 million americans. We are so screwed.
