One of his best columns evah. What went down in the Land of Lincoln is just the reductio ad absurdum of an American era where both entitlement and corruption have been the calling cards of power. Blagojevich’s alleged crimes pale next to the larger scandals of Washington and Wall Street. Yet those who promoted and [...]

Via Elaine Supkis, this from the Prudent Bear: Layman’s explanation of our situation: 1. The current “Ponzi Pyramid of Death” monetary system is crumbling. 2. Right now, virtually every single large bank, medium-sized bank, hedge fund, pension fund, mutual fund, money market fund, stock broker and insurance company has failed or is failing. All the [...]
The F-You-Fascist-Fs Act of 2008

Even in the sick mockery of a free country that is Cheney’s post-9/11 America, it nonetheless beggars belief that our airport security personnel are now empowered to seize your fucking laptop (or iPod, or flash drive, or Fisher-Price Speak & Spell) for no goddamn fucking reason, examine everything on it, steal anything they feel like [...]
Senate, Media: Bringin’ the lube

What, you thought the would-be plunderers of our remaining wisps of collective wealth would just accept defeat and slither away from a mere thwarted opening salvo? And just leave all our delectable, irresistable 300 million American arses unrammed? Just let our perfectly enslavable grandchildren go free? Girl, please.

Thirty-some days left, time for the big closing number – All Crisis All The Time. Gosh, who could have imagined? Well, at least the House killed that prettified-with-lipgloss Paulson atrocity today. I’m still waiting for an adult, any adult, to appear on the scene. Even all the brilliance and savvy and sincerity of a Barney [...]

Operative word: fiction

From an interesting Danny Schecter piece at CommonDreams: Across the pond where the Bank of England was joining other central bankers including the Fed in pumping additional billions into money markets, the right wing magazine of Tory leanings, The Spectator ran a piece that said; “FACE IT, MARX IS HALF RIGHT ABOUT CAPITALISM.” Oh the [...]

We do not support government bailouts of private institutions. Government interference in the markets exacerbates problems in the marketplace and causes the free market to take longer to correct itself. – Republican Party platform, 2008 It gets worse. If Congress should be so destructive as to buy out $700 billion of bad loans (for starters), [...]
Oh, and fuck you too, Obama
Posted in legal thievery, vichy dems on September 25, 2008 |
Et tu, Barack? You’re gonna let despised, discredited goons and fraud artists like Bush and Paulson lead you, too, around by the nose? Jesus, I feel like John Book in the movie Witness, where he’s first hit with the realization that his trusted boss is in on the criminal conspiracy and a murderer to boot. [...]
Chimperor: America must pay for its own rape kit. Congress: K.

Well, so much for my tiny shred of ridiculous optimism yesterday. I might have had a clue at seeing these worthless dem fucks being willing to even go near the steaming turd of fascist, textbook shock-doctrine thievery that Paulson dumped at their door. And then watching them accept delivery for it and take it to [...]

I steal this jaw-dropper from SusanG in its entirety: Remember when kos asked: I want to know why $700 billion. Why not $100 billion, with Treasury going back to Congress when/if it needs more? Why $700 billion? Well, now we know: “It’s not based on any particular data point,” a Treasury spokeswoman told Forbes.com Tuesday. [...]
Grand Theft Nation hits slight bump in road

Wow, imagine that. The American populace – despite eight years of being drugged, threatened, assaulted, robbed, and left for dead in a car trunk in the wake of its fateful blind date with seeming fun guy George W. Bundy Bush – is actually awake, aware – and fucking pissed. Bigtime. You could actually feel it [...]
Good stuff on the money bummer thing

Interesting post and thread at The Agonist: As for the future: we won’t see any meaningful or helpful regulation until the markets are allowed to fall, freely. We certainly won’t get it under a McCain Administration (imagine Phil Gramm as Treasury Secretary, terrifying, eh?). And I don’t think we’ll get meaningful regulation under an Obama [...]

Well. What a day it’s been in our Shining City on a Hill & Greatest Country Evah! (St. Ronnie said so, and God seconded the emotion!) But first things first: Ooh, et tu, Lindsay? Saw this via Bartcop: “I find it quite interesting that a woman who now is running to be second in command [...]
