I don’t mind occasional rain at all. And, there are going to be times in our lives when someone “takes a piss” on you. That’s life. BUT, there are very few things that get me furious like someone “taking a piss on you and telling you it’s raining”. It is the INSULT on top of the injury; that’s going too damn far…Just check out the recent words of Sen. “Aren’t I Great” Dodd (CHAIRMAN of the SENATE BANKING COMMITTEE)

But as foreign entities, interests, and owners cannot pass our laws directly, they must pursue every and all means they can discover to lobby, pressure, frighten, intimidate, and manipulate our legislative and election processes. Through campaign funding and other such methods of ownership, they can eventually place favorable or at least friendly key players in key positions of power. In this way, they can maintain legislative control over the interests of the properties and wealth which is now theirs.

Pirates are so hot hot hot! Ever since Johnny Depp churned out some Pirates of the Caribbean blockbusters, the public has fallen utterly in love with the ale imbibing, “arg” spoutin’, lavishly alt-rock dressed pirate.
Recent high-profile news of daredevil Somali pirates (illuminating what is actually a fairly trendy situation off that coast) has shown the lengths people will go to to play pirate today. Imagine; stealing tanks from Putin’s Russia. That takes balls, folks. But that’s how fun the pirate lifestyle is! Yo ho, yo ho; a pirate’s life for me!

The BAILOUT/PORK package has passed. Suddenly a NEW refrain is echoing through the marble halls of leadership: “we might not feel anything fuzzy and nice for some time”. HA! Wasn’t the massive size of this fiscal manuever supposed to cause instant reverberations of relief. Keep an eye out for the sharing of a story that the “transparency” of it all is awfully complex and as such has more or less been abandoned….We’ll never see that money again. GUARANTEED.

When Enron collapsed and shocked the nation to its core with a $60 billion-dollar market value loss, the public and Washington screamed bloody murder; investigations commenced and people went to jail, and nothing less would have staved off public uprising…When a foreign radicalized entity bombed our buildings and capital with planeloads of our own citizens, Washington conducted a massive INTERNAL investigation to find limits of OUR OWN responsibility… Now that there is a devastating succession of internally planted time bombs wiping out our financial backbone; we hear no calls for jail, no mandate for probes, no leadership for delivery of truth in culpability? Not even a single firing or resignation yet?

The American Main Street doesn’t need to see a $700 billion defibrillator apply shocks to a fat, ugly, out of shape, addicted cardiac arrest patient named Wall Street. The nation needs to see a frank and earnest accountability and assignation of responsibility. Perhaps Wall Street is tumbling because of the complete absence of anything coming close to this! Not only is the proper culpability not being levied against those responsible, but the villains are all but being targeted for the rewards, and some of those most responsible are being PRAISED for their wisdom and leadership (Barney Frank for example). This is at the heart of Main Street’s disgust and lack of confidence. And since they keep telling us Wall Street IS Main Street, then you also must accept that Main Street IS Wall Street. And Main Street wants to see some heads roll, and some glutton’s for cash go on a STRICT diet. And since we apparently need to be SO worried about Wall Street, then we should be likewise SO worried about Main Street, which means…SOME HEADS SHOULD ROLL!!

Frank:
“…I do not think we are facing any kind of a crisis. That is, in my view, the two government sponsored enterprises we are talking about here, Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, are not in a crisis. …I do not think at this point there is a problem with a threat to the Treasury.”
“…Some of the critics of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac say that the problem is that the Federal Government is obligated to bail out people who might lose money in connection with them. I do not believe that we have any such obligation.”
Apparently, Barney Frank had not yet decided to share with us, at that time, his “a great intellect to deal with the challenges”.

Is there no appreciation for irony anymore? Is there to be no celebration of this upside down, ass-backward, paradoxical and ironic inversion of truth by Pelosi? Is she brain-dead, or are we? Is this some surreal U.S. Dream? Can we wake up?
