Ok. I thought that with a new administration coming in that we’d have fiscal responsibility return and a reasoned approach to recovery that would benefit people other than speculators and stupid people. Alas, I have been hit with yet another disappointment.
The stimulus package is going to include 2 provisions in particular that I just cannot [...]
I found this little gem on ClusterStock. They’re looking to replace the current TARP administrator. One of the comments was as follows, directly from the comments section of the article:
Should hire a chick…cuz dudes have problems asking a chick for money/money help/directions
I almost fell over laughing. Replace “chick” with “woman” and it would be a [...]
I’ve been tracking the Obama transition and I’ve gotta say I’m somewhat satisfied with his decisions but I have to say, I’ve never understood the selection process for cabinet members; they immediately go to existing politicians and vanquished opponents. That or they pick people whose ideas they like or who have good policy ideas. This [...]
Remember those good old days where the President could push through whatever bill he wants, Republicans could win (re)elections by simply saying if you vote for a Democrat, you might as well be voting for Bin Laden? Well those halcyon days are over. The bailout bill passed not because of the President’s leadership and vision [...]
I’ve been using Twitter as a way to vent more recently than I’ve been using the blog. Why? It’s infinitely quicker and if it’s not perfect or well crafted, oh well. However, if you’ve been reading my past couple of tweets, I’m rather frustrated about the current effort to bail out the financial industry. Bear [...]
Bear in mind that I’m on the outside looking in; I don’t like either major party. However, I think that a Obama-Clinton ticket wouldn’t be such a bad thing. Obama has repeatedly evoked Lincoln throughout the primaries. A Obama-Clinton ticket would be an interesting parallel that would compare greatly with Lincoln. In history, Lincoln had [...]
I’ll confess that I’ve kinda drank the “Obama Change” Kool-Aid. It’s probably my last-ditch effort of not becoming completely jaded by the Federal Government.
Then Tuesday rolled around. On Memorial Day, Obama made the claim that one of his Uncles helped liberate Auschwitz. Number of things wrong with that; his mother was an only child and [...]
I wrote a somewhat rambling post that, in a way, showed I was interested in seeing how far Obama could go in the campaign. I think that with the idiocity that has emerged in the past month in all of the campaigns, that I need to revise my position. I am, at the moment, not [...]
Two news stories have emerged this week of people (read: a$$holes) who have done something outrageous to either "make people think" or "provoke discussion". In the first instance, a pentecostal pastor posted a sign in front of his church linking Obama to bin Laden. In the second instance, a Yale "performance artist" (which, if not [...]
I’ve been keeping track of the internet phenomenon (is that what we’ll call it?) of the war against Scientology by Anonymous/Project Chanology. If nothing else, it’s good for a laugh every now and then. The Anonymous youtube videos are fun to watch. However, I think that it does introduce some interesting questions about both what [...]
