Painters Wanted

It is a dangerous proposition when Bill "NoseBleed" Sheffield gets to propose how the stimulus money earmarked for Alaska may get spent. Sorry, can’t refrain away from using that "earmark" label. Lets face the facts, his namesake at the Ted Steven’s International Airport’s useless train depot is just more evidence of failure. It is waste not want disobeyed, something we should have learned in kindergarten. Just another eyesore in the list of failed infrastructure projects for this state. Like the eyesore across the bay at Point McKenzie, Don Young’s failed wood chip export facility. The Kodiak Launch Facility? How many veneer plants have opened and failed down in southern Alaska over the years that Ted, Don and Frank controlled the Federal purse-strings? I miss the three-stooges, don’t you? The waste and failures this state’s bureaucrats should be ashamed of, when all the time there was no intent on success. And I will admit that not once did my paycheck come form these projects, as I have better sense and ethics when it comes to who and what feeds my family. Pork is welfare. In fact even the pay scale for Federal project creation is endowed in "pork", Davis-BACON! If Americans would only take control of this out of control freight-train, this would mean for a better off country. Now I am in favor of projects for jobs, but we seem not to do it right when it comes to the handout frenzy. Had the Trans-Alaska-Pipeline been build like these government "pork" projects, there would be a price to pay. And this state is soon to acquire the biggest heist of all times upon the U.S. Treasury - thanks to Don - the high-speed amphibious military assault ship turned a passenger friendly ferry, to be named in honor of Frank Murkowski? Say it isn’t so, the name game. He failed as governor, Bill that is. He failed as depot passenger recruiter, so please spare my taxation and send him back to the "nosebleed" specialist or forever will the Treasury bleed. This is "My" money these monkeys are about to get their hands on! My hard earned money. No Bill does not know what it means to work hard, neither does Ted, or Don or MoanaLisa Nepotism Senator. And when we see this feeding frenzy going on, in efforts to get a piece of the action from Uncle Sam, it is more evidence that this system of checks and balances is about to be wrecked once again. Fast-tracking major construction projects under the "American Recovery and Reinvestment Act" is guaranteed to fail, as there exists some mighty hurdle timelines for this "bailout" - and hurried along crap like this can and will promote dire consequences upon the environment. What comes first, economy or the environment? The consequences of fast pacing could set this country back too the dark ages! Oh, we are already there. I disagree, especially here in Alaska. Greta, please go home and take Toad Palin with you. Anyway, the state of the state of affairs with respect to the economic showdown can be summed up with two episodes I witnessed just yesterday, only one day after the Congress approved a massive bailout to the rich. Why so? I am sure with the trickle down theory the only thing the hard working Americans will see from this bailout is a bill! Somebody will end of paying for it, and the rich honestly believe that they can take it with them! That’s what this bailout thing will end up, pennies on the dollar for the true Americans. Why? Because we true Americans are still working and spending! Anyway, while waiting for a friend after an invigorating run, I waited outside a local grocery store, during my cool-down cycle. Grocery stores are always a very good barometer to what is happening in the economic arena. A lady carrying a bag of dog food existed the store. Wow, she can at least continue to feed Fidel. Then she stooped, breaking fast in her tracks, as a penny loose on the pavement caught her attention. Now it was cold outside. It was snowing, but that did not deter her determination to scarf up the coin. But it was frozen upon the concrete, wherein she painstakingly tried to free it up, digging it out with what appeared to be once a makeover and manicured set of fingernail fangs. Persistent she was, as finally the treasure was hers. Then she meandered off, a little dazed and confused while looking for her vehicle. That fight with the penny was a workout! Soon she approached her car, wherein Fidel waited in vain. It was a Mercedes Benz and Fidel was one of those little handbag designer type dogs! All that for a penny lifted is a penny earned. What value is a penny today? Do you realize that its costs 2.3-cents to mint and distribute a Lincoln head? I hope it is a lucky penny. Then I was down at the Nordstrom. On this Valentines Sunday. Talk about a Valentine’s Day massacre! There was no indication of a slowdown in spending here in the 49er! Except the table that advertised the hand-me-down low-down marked-down handbags - designer type - promoted a Macy’s Day underwear sale frenzy.. Now these are mark-me-downs, still costing well up there at $300 bucks, but there was this frenzy going on, for a handbag? Handbags, a senator’s way to hide away un-taxed income! Then while meandering down a side street, I noticed fresh moose hoof impressions in the sidewalk snow, right in downtown Anchorage. It leads right to the 2nd Run. Somebody said it was Sarah’s footwork. Is this her new campaign office? The name rings a bell. It used to be called "Leftovers" or something like that, but the legalese went crazy when there came a trademark issue, so came the name change. But I do believe it has something to do with Sarah’s upcoming pageant. I hope she keeps running amuck in the political arena, as we need something to keep us laughing. I bet this store is a front, for PAC money. Anyway, this state is about to receive a whole bunch of money for nothing, as part of the Congressional "bailout" program that will have as much chance to jumpstart the economy as would building a bigger port would help the Anchorage economy. Remember, the port expansion had something to do with the Bridge-to-Nowhere which had something to do with Bill Allen lying about building this humungous oil field module fabrication plant over across the bay. That was the reason for the high-speed Navy boat, to ferry workers to high paying jobs out at Point McKenzie. So that is why this state should receive ZERO, as we only know how to waste money. And remember, we have the Constitutional Budget Reserve. We should be required to spend that reserve first, then we would soon realize what it means to strive for success instead of failure. But I hope with all the free-for-all greenbacks coming this way - courtesy the U.S. Taxpayers - that there can be made available some money for "PAINT". According to a most recent account by insurance executives reporting about the high fender bender rates in and around Anchorage, it was conceded that the main factor to why we like to play bumper cars is the fact that the road line markers are missing. For years I have complained about this. Why does this state use such cheap paint? Come the first snowfall, the newly painted street markings just disappear. And this state doesn’t get any harsher weather then some of the Great Lakes states, wherein road paint means just that, stay in your lane. I do believe that the paint this state buys is specially formulated for Alaska, at a bargain rate some 10-times the normal price. And this special formula is designed to "Not " last, in efforts to create a few jobs. That is what Alaska’s failed infrastructure is all about, nothing sustainable, just throw money at anything and everything to create jobs, that is why Bill has a train depot named after him that is used for nothing, except one wedding in the last ten years of operation. And it takes money to heat that waste. It takes maintenance, so why not create some real jobs, tear the damn thing down is my sentiment. Better yet, turn it into a homeless shelter. But I doubt if my wishes will come true, for decent and safe road lane marker paint, as the "Taxpayers’ Rip-off Act" no longer includes any money for the arts, and that is probably how our bureaucrats see road paint, as artwork! America, the land of the growing homeless and home of the con artists, as true art is missing in action as is my future, courtesy those that feel it necessary to rob the Treasury with a designer like handbag.

BOZO Math

It appears as though Congressmen Don Young has the answer to a sinking economy. I am sure this Nobel cure comes about from lessons learned with the TEA-Lu bill that he authored, when relaxing down in Florida under a coconut grove tree. Boink! The latter bill was the biggest and heaviest highway appropriations bill ever signed into law. It will never be surpassed. It was historic, and named after his wife - Lu. Anyway, according to Don in his latest e-mail news-shot opportunity "for every $1-billion invested in transportation infrastructure, 38,000 jobs are created, as well as $6.2 billion in economic activity". Wow, so finding that the "Stimulus", a.k.a. American Recovery and Reinvestment Act, has earmarked well over $27-billioin for highway construction projects, Bozo math sounds out recovery is here - even before the shovels hit the frozen Alaskan ground! "Recovery is coming, recovery is coming". Some guy that looks like Don just drove through the neighborhood, like on a Paul Revere mission. If the Bozo math holds true, with the jobs creation and the aftermath money activity, the highway part of the "Stimulus" will create in excess of 1-million jobs and invite $167-billion of economic activity! Way to go Don, as this means that the rest of the "stimulus crap" isn’t necessary, As a matter of fact, do away with all the other "krop" - pork spelled backwards and meaning "crap" in pig Latin - and just make this recovery act an extension to the TEA-Lu bill, maybe TEA-Lu Take II. I do believe that Don is on to something. We should all take the pen in hand and write in Don as a potential for the Nobel Prize for economics. Maybe also the Carnegie Mellon award? And not to forget the Bozo Math Award, through the Bozo Bus endowment. See, with $790-billion available to buy makeup for Pelosi, I mean money to kick start the economy, using Don Young’s theory and reinforced by Bozo math, if all of this money was indeed shovel ready, like for highways, it would mean this: 30-million jobs! That’s a 3 with 0000000 lagging zeros! With that, $5,000-billion in economic fallout activity! That’s a 5 with 000000000 zeros lagging behind. It means $5-trillion my friends! So come Monday of next week, those who like Davis-Bacon wages and are tired of their old warn-out hourly wage, all in favor could hit the ditches with shovel in hand, to build something. It doesn’t matter what, just start digging as the money is already being printed! That would mean a run on the Home Depot, for shovels. It would spark to life the economy. And when one looks at those numbers, it means a jobs creation program that would last at least 10-years, and then it would be time to re-work the roads. It is the perpetual jobs creation theory, but our government says "Nay" to perpetual motion, or any thing that even hints to such, so sorry Don, as you tried, but the bureaucrats got in the way. And what really gets me, the "Stimulus" bill was over 1,000-pages in length. What ever happened to the government’s efforts at the "paper reductions" act? See, politicians start these down to earth programs but they never practice what they preach and it ends up just another wasteful attempt at something. Using Don’s theory and once again Bozo math, it could have meant a one-page act, something any idiot could have understood. But not one, not one representative of the House or Senate could tell a lie, as not one had read the "act" in its entire before it was time to cast thy vote. Why so? They are all idiots and we as taxpayers get to pay for it all, even their lack of reasonableness. Ethics? Accountability? These things are still just a far and away suggestion, not a prerequisite. Shovels, what a novel idea - maybe to knock some sense into the ridiculousness of it all. Now I did find the time to read through most of this Congressional "novel" of piracy. Why so this piracy? Because in this bill or act - or maybe ax upon the taxpayers is a better description - there exists billions for the military! There exists a separate military appropriations bill, as taxation is specific for a strong militia. It is supposed to be kept separate, as that is what is understood by the Constitution. To combine military funding inside a "Stimulus" program is so against the rules and regulations and underlying existence of the Constitution, it calls upon the entire Congress that voted for this inclusion to be held in contempt, of what I do not know. But in contempt of something. This is what happens when we elect representation that knows not how to read or are too busy wining and dining with lobbyist to take the time to read legislation of importance. I challenge to call or e-mail your representatives and ask if they read the "Stimulus" before voting on it. If they lie, then ask them why the inclusion of the military stuff. Shovels, they keep digging themselves deeper and deeper into that hole. I do believe the taxpayers need a separate ways and means to hold accountable our representation’s malfeasance, especially when it comes to robbing the Treasury. That is what it is in a nutshell, highway robbery. Sorry Don. We need a tribunal, which is allowed for under the Constitution, to try our Congress. Now tribunals have seen a whole lot of scrutiny lately, but maybe it is time to relax that scrutiny in realization that there exists tools available to us in "Our" Constitution, and start using such too our advantage. Think about it. A tribunal "By the People and For the People". So we can have a say as to where our hard earned money ends up, besides makeup!

No Stimulus Needed!

Dear Honorable Timothy Geithner
Treasury Secretary of the United States of America

I am a bonafide resident of the state of Alaska. I have lived in this state for more then 30-years. With that, I have become very alert to the ups and downs of the economic well-being of this state’s "state of affairs". I have worked the oil fields as a non-union hourly wage earner as well as full time involvement in union contract work. I feel I have a very good understanding as to when and if this state needs financial assistance, as may be accommodated under the "Stimulus Plan" most recently approved by the U.S. Congress and soon to be on President Barack Obama’s desk for approval. This state is far and away from mainstream America. This state has resources, like oil, that provides a buffer of financial confidence and security wherein it is easy to weather the storm of an economic slowdown. This state has a revenue infrastructure that allows financial independence, namely through oil royalty invested in the state’s constitutionally established Alaska Permanent Fund, a Corporation. As a matter of fact, the return-on-investment of this fund - even with a depressed stock investment market - it allowed a dividend distribution of $3,269.00, $1200 of that disbursement as an energy rebate, to each and every Alaskan resident. For a family of (4), it amounted to well over $12,000 dollars of additional income! As of the start of February, the Alaska Permanent Fund was estimated to be valued at $28-billion dollars and according to state statutes, can be tapped into under the Constitutional Budget Reserve, in efforts to "maintain a stable level of public spending". Today, the CBR has a 6-billion dollar surplus, to be used through a simple process of legislative approval. With that in mind, I am requesting that the U.S. Treasury Department look carefully upon this state’s "state of affairs" with respect to its economic grade along with what financial resources are available constitutionally as a means to offset financial help that may be available through the U.S. taxpayers’ funded "Stimulus Program", as financial assistance is not needed or wanted. The scare of un-employment has not affected this state. The un-employment numbers are the norm for this time of year, seasonal stress only. Unlike other states, un-employment lines are not. The oil industry continues to invest, with upgrades to that infrastructure, so it is still difficult to find an empty seat on a plane heading north or a hotel to sleep in once there. As an additional argument that Federal assistance is not necessary, the two senior representatives of Alaska - namely Senator Lisa Murkowski and Congressmen Don Young - both voted against the "Stimulus Bill", so it is apparent that it was voted "ney" because these individuals realize also that this state is not in the same situation with respect to an economic slowdown as are most of the lower 48 states. Even though the state’s 2009 budget was forecast on $78-dollar barrel oil, and those prices remain depressed, it has not, I repeat, has not been a detriment or deterrent to an expanding infrastructure. And it has already been announced that the residents of Alaska will indeed once again receive a "dividend", which is "additional" financial assistance that fuels the economy. Again, this state doesn’t need any assistance from the U.S. Treasury. By not providing assistance, it can teach a lesson that independence with proper investing can provide such independence when the times get tough. For years this state has enjoyed way too much money realized through taxed income appropriations, as Ted Stevens and Don Young were known as the "pork" kings of earmarking. As a matter of fact, when other states saw military bases closing down, this state realized just the opposite. So do this state a favor, do America a favor, please examine this state’s "true" financial situation as compared to other states of the Union, as the money wasted here could be of great importance and relief to a "brother or sister" state that is experiencing true hardship like conditions. Bottom line, this is how Alaska can help out those states in real need. Any money this way from the "Stimulus Plan" could only be seen as evidence that "pork" continues to wreck havoc on the Treasury. So please, I ask that any stimulus money allocated for Alaska be withheld until this state’s revenue authorities can prove that other resources have been tested and utilized as they were so designed, through the Constitutional Budget reserve. This is not a sacrifice, but a test upon this state’s constitution. By sending "Stimulus" money this way, it will undermine this state’s constitution, something the residents value and cherish. So please, out of respect, take this under consideration.

Sincerely;
S. Pam MaGee

Beaufort Scale

Ancient Mariners

Ancient mariners utilized a wind force scale or a "storm is coming" scale devised in 1805 by Sir Francis Beaufort. It is a realistic scale and better then just a wind’s speed indicator, as it relates to surrounding effects from the strength of the wind. So if underwear is blowing off of clotheslines, it has meaning on the Beaufort! It is very easily understood, as it utilizes peripheral considerations. And being such a valuable scale to indicate when a "storm is coming" your way, it also suffices as a scale to indicate when the Speaker of the House is getting tested with questions she would rather not answer. Herein it is called the Pelosi Facial Expression "Stormy" scale and is mimicked after the Beaufort scale. Damn, I just saw her on Facedown or whatever it is called and this thing is pretty damn accurate! Here is the comparison between the Beaufort and the Pelosi. And yes, Alaska Congressman "elected again" Don Young did refer to Pelosi as a "rabid skunk with glittering eyes and gashing teeth". I think that may have excited the origin of this other "scale"!

Beaufort Scale
Beaufort Number ~ Description ~ Sea Conditions
0 ~ Calm ~ flat sea
1 ~ Light Air ~ ripples without crests
2 ~ Light Blow ~ small non-breaking wavelets
3 ~ Gentle Blow ~ large wavelets, crests begin to break
4 ~ Moderate Blow ~ small waves appear
5 ~ Fresh Breeze ~ moderate waves, some foam and spray
6 ~ Strong Breeze ~ large waves with foam crests and increased foam spray
7 ~ Near Gale ~ sea heaping with wind directed sea foaming
8 ~ Fresh Gale ~ high waves with breakers, foam streaking
9 ~ Strong Gale ~ high waves, spray, dense foam, wave roll-over
10 ~ Whole Gale ~ entire sea foams, large amounts of airborne spray, heavy wave impact
11 ~ Violent Storm ~ exceptionally high waves, large amounts of airborne spray, low visibility
12 ~ Hurricane Force ~ huge waves, driving spray, reduced visibility, sailors retreat.

Pelosi Scale
Pelosi Number ~Description ~ Speaker Conditions
0 ~ Calm ~ No facial wrinkles
1 ~ Some hot air venting ~ spider eyes apparent
2 ~ Light Blow ~ small cheek wrinkles appear
3 ~ Gentle Blowhard ~ large wrinkles, caked makeup begins to crack
4 ~ Moderate Blowhard ~ small waves of nervousness reveal Botox conditioning
5 ~ Fresh Blow ~ moderate wrinkles, Cheney like mouth twitching
6 ~ Strong Blow ~ large wrinkles with mouth foaming and temple frowning
7 ~ Near Gale ~ wrinkle heaping with mouth foam spraying, glittering eyes
8 ~ Fresh Gale ~ heavy wrinkling, makeup globs off, facial like streaks appear
9 ~ Strong Gale ~ mouth stretch marks appear as does dense mouth foaming
10 ~ Whole Gale ~ large amounts of airborne mouth spray, heavy wrinkle impact, gashing teeth.
11 ~ Violent Storm ~ exceptional wrinkling, large amounts of airborne spray with zero personality
12 ~ Hurricane Force ~ huge wrinkles, driving spray, reduced accessibility. Reid retreats!

Space Wars!

According to a supposedly encrypted broadcast picked up by a ham radio operator on the North Slope during radio wave "skipping", this broadcast indicates that the outer space "Space Wars" has begun. This is not intended as a conspiracy theory exciter, but true fact of the matter intelligence. It deals with the crash of two satellites - one belonging to the U.S. and the other belonging to the Russians. According to officials from the U.S. Pentagon, "the collision involved an Iridium commercial satellite, which was launched in 1997, and a Russian satellite launched in 1993 and believed to be nonfunctioning". Supposedly the Russian satellite was "out of control". Now according to Phineas J. Whoopee and his magical 3DBB, Soviet satellites are designed with redundant power plants and redundant navigational systems. The redundancy gives backup should the main stuff peter out. And the power plants, usually of nuclear design, should easily last well over 20-years. So was it an accident by an "out of control" piece of space junk? Not according to the broadcast, but a success! Accordingly, this is a new weapon of choice for the Soviets. Recycled weaponry! There exists hundreds of arcane like spacecraft that continue to limp along in orbit. Many "technology" outdated satellites that belonged to the U.S. military have been leased to communication companies, even to offshore communicators. Iridium is one of those private businesses that have taken advantage of our country’s recycling efforts to utilize outdated satellites. This secret weapon devised by the Russians - as there exists no "rules for the road" in space - it is about to open up an entirely different battlefront. This country relies on space for communicating! We rely on space for military surveillance. But it is unclaimed territory, and how would anybody ever prove that an irate "out of control" satellite wasn’t a designed "crash" and from way down here look like an innocent accident? Now this is all in efforts to call our bluff on the initiation and expansion of a weapons safeguard system that repeatably fails but scares the Dickens out of the rest of the world. It is called "Space Wars" and started gaining attention with Ronald Reagan and pushed forward by the Bush administration in efforts to demonstrate that we have our priorities crazed. Here in Alaska we have silos accommodating these defense rockets but the guided missiles’ have no guidance, as the silos keep filling with ground water which has a tendency to short-circuit the navigational and blast-off systems. See a rushed design means a poor design. It is all a great waste of money, as it is dangerous. And there is the intent to deploy similar crap in Europe, close to the Russian border. So this is their plan to call the bluff, as without surveillance satellites guiding these babies to their intended target on a threat of "incoming", it is useless! Alaskan’s got stuck with this stuff with no warranty because of Ted Stevens. Everybody knows the crap don’t work, but that isn’t the point, as it creates jobs along with a fake sense of security. See, the Soviets - are not they called something different these days - are into economics over war. They realized that one effort enjoys a return on investment while the other has only returning dead soldiers. And they learned something from Bin Laden. Most Wanted Terrorist #1 - yet to be caught even with a 25-million dollar bounty - realized the only way to destroy the American dream of democracy for all is to cripple this country economically. I don’t know if he had anything too do with this present state of affairs, but somebody was listening. So now that an amateur with a radio out in the middle of nowhere - maybe there is a bridge - has eavesdropped on the neighbor we can see from Sarah’s backyard, we have been made aware of this new age combat, this new age retaliation against Bush’s "Star Wars" initiative expansion. And it is a very easy means of combat, militarily speaking. See, satellites have power plants and rockets to guide and once stuck in the same orbit as another junk, it is of course on a collision course. And it is very easy nowadays to blastoff payloads of fake satellites, that contain nothing but empty canisters as a ways and means to crash away the American infrastructure of satellites. And once space debris starts infiltrating outer space, it causes difficulty for all the rest of the extra-terrestrial and even to outer space exploration. When is the last time the Soviets fired off a rocket? See, they may not be interested in space exploration. They have embraced "capitalism" and are moving forward in that arena as we sit back and sell out our future on military superiority that with the wink of an eye is doomed! Anyway, there is no way to police what happens in space. We have no border patrols in close proximity to where the action is taking place. We have a bunch of guys and gals that spend their entire days watching the traffic congestion in space, but without red lights and on-duty traffic cops, it is just a game played out from far and away. Unbelievable, recycled junk on a collision course of reality. So just remember this, recycling is an attribute of "Capitalism"! And remember this age-old saying, that "Somebody’s trash is another’s treasure".

Peanut Butter Fluff

I didn’t watch the Obama inauguration, as I couldn’t lower myself to waste time with bigot Rick Warren praying to some made up fake-like god. I didn’t watch the Superbowl, as work duties called my attention. But I did watch the hearings on the Hill yesterday. What a day it was on the hot-seat for those under subpoena. There came the early morning grilling of the banker CEOs that have stolen away the taxpayers loot. I am talking the 8-top banking institutes under the red, white and blue. Isn’t theft a crime and punishable? On the other side of the isle, the CEO of the salmonella peanut butter capper kept smart and gave the same answer time and time again, the 5th! It sounded like a broken record. Now after watching the bankers deliver nothing except frolicking in the fact that "Yes", they do indeed have private jets and 1-million a year salaries and bonuses that account for only a small percentage of a bank’s profit and have several mansions to live in, it is evident that America is doomed, from the sickness of "greed". If this type of shenanigans and pilferage is any indication of where our priorities stand, we have all failed the kindergarten creed of honesty and love thy neighbor has become merely a bothersome like suggestion and not a practice under God, a real God. The banker bosses were getting grilled because these CEOs saw to it that a freebie giveaway - courtesy the U.S. Taxpayers - was squandered away and used for class warfare, wherein the rich just get richer. Our money, your money, it was given away to the banks by Congress then the banks did a monkey-see, monkey-do giveaway, to everybody except those in need of financial assistance. Shareholders were enriched. And if you are one of those lucky holders, I hope you enjoy the thrill of double taxation! These idiots in $40,000-dollar suits and ties were given taxpayer bailout money and did nothing to help out the dire consequences of an almost corrupt economy. They were given "free" money! And get this, payback of the 350-million already thrown away without accountability must be by profits and not by assets! Which means the taxpayers may as well kiss this money goodbye! Who makes the tax codes so complicated? It is the financial institutes. So these profit hording taxless entities get to use every damn loophole, all in efforts to "Not" pay their corporation’s fair share burden. So at the end of a bank’s balance sheet, there isn’t any profit, as any semblance of such is something that is left over after everything else is deducted, including dividends to the shareholders. So there is no way this giveaway is ever to be paid back. It is the true definition of highway robbery. It is akin to a heist wherein it is evident that it was promoted by an insider. This is an inside job. In this case the insiders are none other then the U.S. Congress. Now the bankers never had anything to worry about, accept using the excuse that with the bailout money now part of their bank’s portfolio, it allowed for bigger bonuses to its executives - at the taxpayers’ expense! They did find it bothersome trying to explain this to the perpetrators - a.k.a. Congress. But it is no longer called a "bonus", but an incentive! And why no worries? Because they were given this money by a Congress that doesn’t know how to read or write or direct business in an ethical manner. See, somebody with infinite wisdom gone screwy included in this giveaway program this "non-binding" bullcrap language that would allow a license to kill to be tame, which means just that, a killing frenzy it is. The terms of endangerment between Uncle Sam and Jesse James and Company means nothing except the taxpayers get screwed over once again. How many times? More like a raping. So now these institutes can do as they please and get away with rape and murder and robbery. Who designs such ridiculous legislation? Unless these crooks are writing their own ways and means and our so-called representatives sign whatever comes across the desk of the lobbyists. Now the peanut butter guy did what he thought was best in efforts to make a profit, regardless if it meant an action of malfeasance, as it was a gamble. It didn’t pay off. People died. But it is no different then what the bankers are doing with somebody else’s money. And people will die over this shenanigans, I would bet on it. What’s that? It already happened! The banks were supposed to help thy fellow man in need. They didn’t. I am sure the suicide rate for those in foreclosure will escalate, and these CEOs are to blame as their inaction is evident that they failed their mission. I forgot, their mission followed that of George’s, accomplished once the money was delivered - end of a sad story. My sentiment, the entire cast of CEOs should have been held in contempt of Congress. They should have been corralled, handcuffed and taken not to a private jet but to a detention cell, maybe there is a future use for Guantanamo! These preachers of the buck are idiots with respect to the Constitution and serve no other purpose being in America, as they side with the likes of terrorists. See, Bin Laden said the best way to destroy America was to weaken its economy. These guys are doing the terrorists’ work, right here before our very own eyes, ears and orifices getting filled with excruciating excuses. And Congress deserves the same ball and chain, as they have failed miserably their responsibilities. Did you ever watch that show called something like "Wife Swapping"? That is what we need for this country’s lame ass Congress, a swap. Say we swap our representation with the Iraqi parliament? Or how about with the Japanese parliament, or whatever it is called? Better yet, how about a swap with Vince McMahon’s wrestle mania freak show? Can you imagine the cleaning up if WWE wrestlers had one day on the Hill? They are good at faking things, so would fit right in as a swap. And can you imagine Pelossi and Boxer, as a tag team match against Mae West - a.k.a. Kay Bailey - and Florida’s Ileana? I bet if the banking goons showed up while big time wrestlers were at the helm, we would have answers to what happened to the loot. In fact, the loot would have already been returned to its rightful owners, US! And interest would have been our reward. And taking the 5th? It would be more like taking a fist! Bottom line, our Congress failed and now they are trying to pass the buck of blame. In the end, it is US who will swallow that blame, as we have become peons with respect to up-holding the Constitution. It is evident that we have endured an administration that had no respect for the Constitution. At the same time, a Congress that did nothing to stop this weakening of the one piece of paper that spells out our liberty, spells out our freedoms, our privacy, our rights. It is a sad day in history my friends, as this entire state of affairs has become nothing but a ringside show of incompetence, and we get to pay for it and watch all of it from a ringside seat. Hey Vince, got anything planned for 2012?
