"The liberty of a democracy is not safe if the people tolerate the growth of private power to the point where it becomes stronger than the democratic state itself. That in its essence is fascism - ownership of government by an individual, by a group or any controlling private power."
Franklin D. Roosevelt (1882-1945), 32nd US president
"It is an old maxim and a very sound one, that he that dances should always pay the fiddler. Now, sir, in the present case, if any gentlemen, whose money is a burden to them, choose to lead off a dance, I am decidedly opposed to the people's money being used to pay the fiddler...all this to settle a question in which the people have no interest, and about which they care nothing. These capitalists generally act harmoniously, and in concert, to fleece the people, and now, that they have got into a quarrel with themselves, we are called upon to appropriate the people's money to settle the quarrel."
Abraham Lincoln, January 11, 1837
YOUR FUTURE FROM OUT OF THE PAST

30's model mobil home. Your kids will just love travelling. From one pea patch to another.
So the big show is over. Did the sky fall? Have all the banks collapsed? So perhaps this was bullshit all along? Ya think? Like they've had this scheme to "Save" the finiancial world in the desk drawer for months and just by chance pulled it out at the very last minute in the midst of the election campaign. And then also had to admit that they pulled the 700 billion Paulson is asking for right out of their ass? These fuckers have no shame at all. Trying to panic the asswipes that call themselves your representatives into giving them the last bit of jingle in the fucking vault before they make off to Paraguay where both Daddy Bush and his useless son have purchased large tracts of land right next to the American military base that just had to be established under Deacon Dumb's otherwise totally incompetent rule. For what reason and what they were to do there still unexplained. The most important fact in all this chicanery is that Paraguay does not have an extradition treaty with the USA. Pretty fucking handy don't you think? The biggest problem with all this is that Poppy Bush looks like he is doing the Saint Ronnie number and doesn't know the fucking time of day any longer and if they leave it up to Deacon Dumb to find the place they could wind up in Antartica. Pity the poor penguins is all I can say.
And on top of all that we have the assholes in the Rethuglican party in the Congress doing everything they can to make like they don't know Bushie from Adams off ox as my old Granddad used to say. Like the fuckers haven't been bowing down and giving the asshole everything he wished for the past 7 or so years. But now that the shit has hit the fan big time they try to disown him and load it all on the Demos. And from the sound of things the Demo's are about to go for it.
Now as I keep pointing out, I'm just a country boy and don't know shit from shineola but for fuck sakes even I can figure out that this is nothing but a swindle. The banks ain't got no money they all cry. So where the fuck did it all go? Have a huge band of robbers been running about all over the whole country and emptying all the bank vaults? So all this toxic paper they have been buying didn't cost all that much. And sure, it ain't worth a fiddlers fuck anymore and so what? The last I hear there are some 14 TRILLION in outstanding mortgages out there. Now to me, that sounds like a shitpot full of money. And in relation, very few of those mortgages have defaulted. So the fucking banks are recieving millions and millions of bucks in payments every fucking day. So where is it all going? Plus the some 625 billions the government has already poured into the banking system. Your money by the way. Where the fuck has all that gone? Of course, if you pay some useless asshole 13.6 million bucks for 13 days work as WaMU did just before it went down the shitter it's bound to make a dent in the takings. No question about that but they could probably get it back if they had the balls. Just show the cocksucker a short length of rope and the lamp post outside and I'm sure he'd get his hand way down deep in his pocket quite fast! A touch of fire normally helps also.
But I can tell you where as shitload of it has gone. Right out the door to the tune of 10 billion a month into the sands of Iraq, that's where. And seeing as how this was money your bunch of lunatics that think they run the shop didn't have they had to go out, hat in hand, and beg the small Chinese for it. And they said, smile firmly in place of course, "Oh yes sir. Always ready to help out you straight eyes when you hit a spot of trouble. For a price that is. And the more you borrow the bigger that price is going to get." But did this stop the dickheads that were doing the borrowing? In a hogs arse it did because they knew damn well they weren't going to have to pay a penny of any of it. And you can't make me believe that the bastards aren't getting a cut also. Old Deadeye Dick Cheney don't work for nothing you know.
And you still have the wee John, "I'm a war hero so you can't ask me that" McSlime running all obout the patch shouting "Victory", we can't bring the boys home till we have "Victory". Despite the fact the wee motherfucker couldn't tell you what "Victory" entails to save his worthless ass. And also despite the fact that his latest God, General David Pretaeus, (My Gawd, did you see him practiclly drool every time he said his name during the debate? If he wasn't such an old fart I'd swear he shot his wad too.) says they ain't gonna be no "Victory" in Iraq. Like you how can "win" an occupation anyway ? So what is his solution? Why, we are making so much progress it'll soon all be over. Sure baby! I seem to recall that that was what that other Rethuglican criminal, Tricky Dick Nixon, kept saying about Nam. All you have to do folks is keep on pouring those 10 billion a month into the sand and it's bound to get better. And I shit gold nuggets too.
Well, I can tell the little fucker something. One of the real generals he quoted, Alexander the Great, who as he stated correctly was the only man who has ever conqured Afghanistan went there from what was then known as Mesopotamia, now known as Iraq/Iran, And guess what? After a short time In Afghanistan and India old Alex had to march all the way back to Baghdad 'cause in his absence it had all turned to shit. And that's wher he died too. That give you any clue as to how long we're gonna be there folks? 'Cause as sure as there is shit in a big brown dog we ain't got any generals that would come up to Alexanders knees. Of course he was queer as a 3 dollar bill so perhaps that's what really caused it.
Only where are we going to borrow the money? McSlime say anything about that? Not that I've heard. He's been so busy getting his picture taken with Deacon Dumb and saving Wall street, (Turned to shit that one did too.) he just hasn't had time to think about that one has he. So why not ask Tillie from the Tundra? She's an expert on finances isn't she? Hell with all that time mayoring in South Bumfuck Alaska just had to make her one of the leading experts on how to finance the shit out of things when you don't have any money yourself. OOPS! Forgot she left the thriving burg of 6000 frozen rednecks in debt to the tune of 20 million when she pissed off the the State House. And the last I hear the Chinese central bank had told all their banks not loan the old US any more dosh 'cause they ain't solvent any more and you might not get it back. And you can't go to the Japenese either can you? Not after yesterday when the bottom fell right out of their stock market when the news of the no vote on the rescue package hit Tokyo. And I really don't think Mr. Putin is going to be jumping through his arse to loan the US a huge wad when there is even the slighest chance that little "Just bomb them" McSlime might get into the White House.
So don't expect to get your streets fixed up in the near future. Just like you shouldn't start bitching when they come and board up the school your kids go to. For while you may not have voted for this bunch of criminals you've sat around all these years, thumb firmly fixed in the anal orifice and allowed them to continue their criminal activities. So now that it's hit the ventilation for real you had better get accustomed to some very, very hard times.

McInsane jumps into the bailout talks, they fall apart. McInsane leaves for the debate (that he promised to skip unless the bailout was approved). In his absence, things get back on track - if "on track" means to enrich the wealthy at taxpayer expense. McInsane makes a speech on Monday morn, claiming that his intervention is what gets the bailout passed by the Repugs. He also chides Barack, saying Obama's hands-off on the bailout made McInsane's intervention all the more crucial in rounding up the needed Repug votes. The bailout fails. McInsane blames Obama for the failure of the Repugs to garner the votes needed (the same non-existent votes McInsane claimed credit for producing.)
The hard part to swallow, for me, is had a centrist Dem been the nominee against McCain in 2000, I might have cast my vote for the man I so respected - only to find out that behind Mr. McCain/Jekyl lurked a McCain Hyde that could have us exchanging nukes with 3 or 4 regimes while McCain was still enjoying his first breakfast in the White House!
That`'ll teach you. Thinking of voting Rethuglican! Shame, Shame, Shame. For my part
I wouldn't have voted for him if he had an official Democratic Party Headquarters seal stamped on his forehead. I've seen and heard to damn many "War Heros" in my day and 95% of them were full of shit up to their eyebrows! And I have a feeling this little prick is the same. Otherwise why did he have to hide all his service records in the National archives?
