Hooray the Banks are Rescued

After spending the weekend in the US Treasury basement printing money, Tim Geithner revealed his new bank rescue plan: buy the toxic loans for a trillion dollars.

And by toxic, I mean the same ones we were supposed to buy back in November for $700 billion. That’s a $300 billion dollar increase by the way for those keeping score.

No wonder AIG and the two FM’s are handing out bonuses. Not only did their employees lose trillions of dollars, but they grew the worth of craptastic assets labeled with one of the most-negative adjectives in the English language by nearly thirty percent in just four months.

Those are the kind of people you want to give retention pay to. Anyone that can increase the value of something “toxic” is a genius. They are the Johnnie Cochrans of finance.

Wait a minute…he’s dead.

(Thanks to Luke Mullins of Yahoo Finance for the hazmat suit picture idea.)

Liberals Not Very Politically Correct Lately

We all know Obama likened his bowling score to that of a Special Olympics athlete. But were you aware Barney Frank topped our Messiah-In-Chief by calling SCJ Antonin Scalia a homophobe?

“I wouldn’t want it (gay marriage) to go to the United States Supreme Court now because that homophobe Antonin Scalia has too many votes on this current court”

So I guess it is okay now to be politically incorrect. Obama you should wear a helmet instead of a bucket. Barney Frank you fag.

Don’t get mad at me, I’m just following the example of our leaders, the ones we can throw out of office if we so choose.

I’m looking at you Massachusetts.

Farting No Longer Legal

Is this the first step towards cap and trade for Methane? From the news story:

“An eighth-grader was suspended from riding the school bus for three days after being accused of passing gas. The bus driver wrote on a misbehavior form that a 15-year-old teen passing gas on the bus Monday to make the other children laugh, creating a stench so bad that it was difficult to breathe.”

I may be guilty of giving a past girlfriend or four the Dutch Oven but none of them ever died as a result. I think this news item is flatulent in its accuracy but troublesome at the same time, especially when I read this line later in the article:

“A 13-year-old student at a Stuart school was arrested in November after authorities said he broke wind in class.”

Arrested for farting? What kind of world do we live in when passing gas is now a misdemeanor, or worse a felony at some point in the future?

It is a shameful day in America when “carpet bombing” is considered illegal.

I’m going to jump to Scalia’s defence along with you Chris. I threw PC under the bus a long time ago. I then took what was left of it and fed it to an alley cat.

To Congressman Barney Frank,

Since I don’t believe this fantastic defender of the Constitution has ever called you a homo, Butt Boy Barney, you should refrain from making such statements. But Scalia is a gentleman and won’t be calling you out. I’m not, so I will.

Since it’s now OK for our elected officials to name call, it’s doubly OK for me.

Barney Frank, you whine so much and have so little spine that I have to conclude that you have no balls either. This make you the bitch in any relationship and therefore a fag-ette. You can’t even raise to full-blown fag status, you worthless piece of shit.

I really don’t care what someone’s sexual preference is until they make an issue out of it and then try to tell me that my belief system, and those like me, are screwed-up because it doesn’t follow theirs. We’re the ones with the problem because we have morals. Wrong! I’d say ‘fuck you’ Barney, but I don’t want you to get the wrong idea.

For years you have had a problem with anyone who disagrees with you. You can’t become great, so you verbally abuse those who are. It’s like you always got something up your ass. Oh, wait…

I hope for your boyfriends sake you can use your mouth better in the privacy of a bathroom stall then you do in public. But I’m pretty sure you’re a disappointment there too.

My fervent wish is that somehow this gets back to you and it hurts your little, queer feelings. You like dishing it out, how do you like taking it? Never mind, I already know you, limp-wrist pansy.

If you can’t recognise this, it’s called freedom of speech. You remember, the thing you like to use so much but don’t want anyone opposed to you to have.

You can bring crack and a pistol to class, assault your teacher, and threaten classmates, but you can’t fart? Is Taco Bell making illegal weapons?

Tim mentioned our prime minister… hooray someone knows who we are! I can’t stay to long I’m on the lamb for a silent but deadly…
