BAIN ME, DANG ME

BAIN ME, DANG ME
(Sung in tune to Roger Miller’s DANG ME)

Well here I sit top of the class gettin' wealthy,
Ain't nothin' but a king would live like this.
Out all day and runnin' wild buyouts,
then sittin' home with a room full of gold.
Bain me, Dang me, they oughta make a bribe to tame me,
Just like me to be tax free, Rush would you weep for me?

Just sittin' 'round thinkin' with the rest of the 1%,
six buyouts sought and I stole five.
I sent the money offshore,
made fourteen jobs and  paid them twenty seven cents.
Bain me, Dang me, they oughta make a bribe to tame me,
Just like me to be tax free, Rush would you weep for me?

Roses 're red and violets 're purple,
moneys sweet and so is outsourcing.
Well I'm a latter day’r with too many sons,
My pappy drank Pepto-bismol and I'm a son that has no fun.
Bain me, Dang me, they oughta make a bribe to tame me,
Just like me to be tax free, Rush would you weep for me?
Bain me, Dang me, they oughta make a bribe to tame me,
Just like me to be tax free, Rush would you weep for me?

Alaska Jerkonomics

Simon says! The other morning on NPR, some wacko named Simon was on the interview bandwagon, a corporate Public Relations “retard” that must have woken up to a bad hair day. I guess freaked out when the mirror shattered. Look, I usually refrain from using that “r” word, but in this case it is justified, as to attack Obama at least a dozen times in a 1-minute interview, there must be something wrong with this dude. What you mean she’s a woman? Couldn’t tell from the interview, maybe it was from the background noise or pollution out at Joe’s mine. I get tired of hearing these idiots blame everything on Obama. I bet this girl, or whatever it is, would blame that monthly “only women bleed” period on Barack, that’s how bad it is getting. It’s raining, blame Obama. Stock market blues, blame Obama. Neighbor’s dog shit in your yard, blame Obama. High gas prices, blame Obama. That town in Texas still  missing an idiot, blame Obama! Anyway, the attacks came about with respect to the Fed.’s Office of Surface Mining requiring Usibelli to apply for a “permit” to develop the Wishbone mine – another controversial development project. See, Palin left this state a legacy, called Parnell, wherein the entire “regulatory” infrastructure designed to protect what Alaska once was proud upon, well today in the aftermath “regulations” have been busted, so the state doesn’t require a permit - even to pollute. Yes, state regulators are asleep at the wheel, as to perform to protect the environment over the business prospect means one thing, a furlough – a.k.a. “pink slip”. Don’t believe me, look what occurred out at Pioneer’s Oooguruk Island, as the “regulators” were AWOL. What do you think is killing off the seal population – what about thousands of gallons of contaminated glycol thrown overboard? The dereliction list is running out of room. Is Sean Parnell a vampire? Honestly, I heard some little kids asking this question. So when the state violates it’s “statehood” and goes derelict in protecting this land, I’m OK with Uncle Sam stepping in. Here is my take on Joe’s empire. We see very little with respect to income from that “black lung” resource. And here is the sad fact of the matter. Joe has a “gold mine” in his backyard. A majority of the coal from Joe’s mine today is destined for in state use, to fuel the heating plants around the interior, at military installations. When most coal contracts secured by the Defense Logistics Agency for military use has seen on average a 5% decrease in “Delivered Costs”, along with 5-year fixed contracts saving the U.S. Taxpayers $Millions$, well stingy Joe, he realizes the virtue of “NO Competition” and screws the hell out of the Taxpayers. Last go around, Joe swindled a contract that realized increases upwards 14%, for deliveries, Joe in cahoots with the Alaska Railroad. And today, it appears that new contracts between Joe and Uncle Sam will see outlandish one-sided dealings, due the lame excuse of unpredictable fuel transport costs, making the government negotiators totally frustrated their efforts to “fair deals”.  This is highway robbery. Taking advantage of Uncle Sam, it will backfire. Now some may blame this on Obama. Just like Simon found so convenient the moment to attack Obama from sea to shining sea. But here is what is happening in Alaska today. It is the cost of energy that sets the stage for the horrid realization called “BRAC” – Base Re-alignment and Closure. When this military commission looks at consolidating, this rip-off will have a devastating effect on whether or not the bases in Alaska’s interior stay warm. That is why Eielson’s flight line “will” move to Elmendorf. Greed will be this state’s death blow upon the military infrastructure, which supplies how many jobs? So maybe this is payback, the “G” man getting even, making sure Alaska plays by the rules. Now talk about rules of engagement, how in hell can the Koreans purchase Joe’s coal at a discount, cheaper then what the military enjoys? There is definitely something wrong this picture. So Simon, go back to bed, roll over and wake up on the other side, maybe then will you see the true picture. And please, STOP blaming your miserable outlook on Obama!

More Insane Bain

Does it strike you with a sense of skepticism that “Skadden”, one of the largest “Leveraged Buyout” law firms in existence today and for eons a democratic party “only” clearing house for political support donations, isn't it odd that this entity has deviated from its historical track record and allowed $thousands$ in political donations to a single republican, namely Mitt Romney? Along with $thousands$ in campaign bucks to Barack? Now what is going down between both “Me President” camps, it is not by any stretch of the imagination chump change, but money enough to tip the election scale. What side are the “Skadden's” on? Both, is the answer and for reasons secretive. But the connection is becoming clear, that Romney may be a closet democrat. Actually, this “offshore man” doesn't really have a party affiliation or party line dedication, just wants “to be on the side that's winning”. His “GOP” inklings are just a front, this is made clear and convincing his affiliation with “Skadden” and the “Bain” beginnings. Unfortunately, his ties with “Skadden” through “Bain” have gone under the radar. And not only is “Skadden” a high profile “LBO” law firm, it also prides itself in “offshore taxation” consultations. And yes, “Bain” through “Skadden” supported John Kerry's presidential campaign against George Bush back in 2004, at a time when Mitt Romney was the “General Partner”. Look, not a single penny goes unaccounted for this type of venture, especially on the “donation” front. Mitt as GP is the signatory of all expenditures, or through a confidant, endorses any political giveaways, including “political donations”. Fact of the matter, Mitt must have been in support of Kerry back in 2004. And even though Mitt tries to convince that he has no longer any ties to Bain, the affiliation doesn't go away, as there is too much loot involved and the contracts are very specific, breaking ties is not allowed. It's like this, once “made” in the Mafia, only death destroys that link! Mitt Romney and “Skadden” through Bain held a very convoluted and complex arrangement, that is still in existence today, way “offshore”. In ending, the political contributions by “Skadden” today to Mitt's camp, it is payback because of the relationship, alive and well!

Pass the Bottle!

Wow, is this still America - what in hell happened to the dream? Merle Haggard may have sung aloud “the bottle let me down”, but who the hell let Merle down? I was driving along the Merle Haggard Highway, down by Route 66, in pursuit Willie & Family's bus. Just follow the weed smoke, but with all the other aggravating smoke from wildfires sea to shinning sea, it is hard to decipher the good over the bad. OK, so I went to listen to a legend still pimping those steel strings, at age 79. But what a hassle I had getting there. No I don't need a wheel chair, stupid agent at the ticket counter! And when I arrived at the hotel next to the amphitheater, guess what, they gave me the “Handicapped” room, right by the damn elevator. Just because I was excited and told some that I was going to a “Old Willie” concert. The aging population is getting harassed for things we once did by second nature and still do well today. Wow, look at the line at the latrine! No wonder Willie smokes weed on the road, these highways are so disgusting, one needs a lift. Wow, Willie at 79! OK, when the “Red Headed Stranger” came center stage, it was a little out of tune. Not Nelson, that “old guitar”, as Neal once sang about, “It's been up and down the country roads. It's brought a tear and a smile. It's seen its share of dreams and hopes. And never went out of style. The more I play it, the better it sounds. It cries when I leave it alone.” But back to Merle, the damn highways across America are an atrosious mess. Instead of those bright orange road work signs indicating “Road Construction Next 12-Miles”, the signs of today now show like this, “Road Construction Next 12-Hours”! That is of course true only if a state was lucky enough to have used some of ObamaCares' bucks – from the almost dead American Recovery and Reinvestment Act – to fix the roads and bridges, instead of wasting taxpayers' loot on more education. Look, just look at Alaska to see how education bucks have failed. Alaska received over $140-Million from Barack, for what? I guess to pay for a golden parachute retirement package for union buster Carol Comatose. Maybe if teachers received a decent pay, then the “No Child to Turn Out Like George Bush” would not be on the fast-track towards failure. Will it ever work, if we continue to invest education bucks in the infrastructure instead of those dedicated to teaching? When we have a society that relies on the teaching staff to feed, clothe and bath our children, it is just like the present conditions of the highways – total dereliction. Talk about dead-beat parents, how about a dead-beat DOT? Books are outdated, with the Internet. If the school administration catered to the students over the publishing lobby, the savings in wasted book binding and paper alone could pay for a 20% reduction in class size, across the board. Or maybe to hire “Nannies”, to feed and clothe the kids. But, it is like anything else these days, lobby is a hobby to crookedness. And yes, education has failed miserably in Alaska, as when a poll was conducted asking 5^th grade students in the Anchorage School District to identify the “Bush Rat”, 99% thought it was a rodent that hung out at the Best Buy. The “recovery” is a an especially scary word this ObamaCares act, akin to the repo-man! I guess the roads could be repossessed, but who in hell's gate would want such dilapidated crap? And now one comes across these signs, like “Destructive Road Ahead”, like maybe an IED has been tested. The roads in Afghanistan and Iraq are receiving more American bucks and attention these days than is our very own critical infrastructure. Besides being littered with litter, and every bridge acting as shelter for the homeless with kids, the blown-out tire shrapnel appears as a gross reminder of just how bad the economy has tanked since George Bush caved into a tax bonus for his wealthy friends. Anyway, a toast or hit to Willie, still a “Highway Man”. To bad the 112^th Congress wasn't as energetic as Willie, then maybe we would have a land to be proud of, an inheritance we could pass along without a debt grip. Imagine, kids still unborn this soil owe money to the rich class, those that continue to use our highways and byways yet stand their ground that they owe no “back” taxes! Someone has too pay up. Talk about slavery and slave labor in modern times, our “Homeland” is under siege by the mighty rich wanting the proletariats to perform for pennies. Remember, nothing ain't worth nothing if its free in tax heaven! Anyway, there exists still a whole lot more “Old Rockers” then “Old Fockers”! And for the rich, pay up or get out, pack your bags and follow your loot and enjoy the company, of more of the same crooks!

Boehner Orgasm or Congressional constipation?

Precious Metals

Wow, the price of bronze is tanking! Something must have occurred over the weekend to crash the stock. Glad I sold off my precious metal “bronze” stocks, after receiving some insider trading information a few days ago - that bronze would be getting hit pretty hard. I have a contact that works in Congress, so they know what is coming down and have immunity from prosecution with respect to “insider” violations. See, the bronze market has been glutted with recycled bronze, ever since Penn State authorities started melting away a legend. Take that back, Paterno started his own fire storm, and retreat isn't an option. Hot down there Joe? Why would JoePa be so idiotic and selfish, to not come forward and turn in on-the-loose Sanduskey, turn the pervert over to the authorities? Well, for one thing - good “Hail Mary” jock or not - it shows a very insecure and non-caring individual, especially for an icon. Sad, that when men in such positions feel that they must bend over to the buck. It had to do with “image”, and imagine had Joe been honest with society! Now I don't care about the $60-million fine imposed by the NCAA upon the Nittany Lions, as that money will come from “hidden” tuition increases, so it is not a deterrent. And the fact that Penn State is banned from any “bowl” time for several years, maybe it has some merit instead as “toilet bowl time”. But it is sanctions against the players, those that most likely had not any control over Sanduskey's fascination with little kids. Can you imagine a young quarterback trying to tell Joe what to do? Talk about sideline opportunities, just like Joe did with the victims, sidelined justice by turning a blind eye. Now what is indeed a fine, finding the definition of a deterrent, it is the fact that Penn must forfeit all game “wins” from 1998 through 2011. This basically places Joe at the bottom of the barrel, the “Most Loosing” coach of our times. Wow, from the top to the bottom, because of greed. In this case, crime doesn't pay! Bottom-line, with such fines and the fact that Joe's statues and statesmen like status are coming down, Penn State is toast, now and forever. I guess if this nation needs a test site for a nuclear bomb, latitude 40-32'24”N and longitude 078-24'31” will do fine, as it will be no great loss. Maybe napalm will suffice! Joe left a scorched earth for many, so an eye-for-an-eye, well why not. And I understand that reputable firms have told their recruiters to shy away from hiring anybody that has a Penn State sheepskin, bad portfolio publicity! See, the alma mater grey matter is insisting that Penn is innocent and that Joe is still a hero? Look, the campus security had to equip itself with tear gas and riot gear because people were so upset, when the jackhammers started tearing down Joe's wall this past weekend! Instead of a college campus, it looked like more coverage of Aurora, Colorado! Sorry Penn graduates, as you should have learned that one bad apple still spoils... If you didn't, demand your money back!
