Fundamentally Wrong

Attention G-DUB (Tard Sauce), Penis Cheney (Evil Sauce), Walnuts McCain (Apple Sauce), Bubba Clinton (Dick Sauce), Phil Gramm (Whine Sauce) and the rest of you assholes who forgot about the whole Great Depression and thought deregulation was a good idea: It’s the deregulation, stupids! Privatized profits, socialized losses. And yet, no social health care. Why is socialism good when it comes to banks and large corporations, yet so very very evil when it comes to the actual citizens of this country?

It is apparently not fiscal conservatism that drives the Republican machine (once again, yes, I know that Clinton is not a registered Republican), but rather pure greed, hate, lies and hypocrisy. For all your bluster about the evils of socialism, you are quick to jump off your privatization high-horse and screw the average American with bailouts of your own colossal fuckups. Repeal the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act, close the “Enron Loophole” and reinstate the Glass-Steagall Act. There is a reason that we built protection in there after the excitement of our first Great Depression. Honestly, it wasn’t so great, so why are you morons so keen on reliving it? Every motherfucking one of you idiots involved in deregulation should be stripped of everything you own to pay back the American people. Haven’t we learned yet that conservative values lead to a complete meltdown that apparently can only be resolved with the application of liberal values? You should all be forced to spend the next five and a half years! being repeatedly kicked in the testicles for eight hours a day. After that, if you’ve somehow accepted that greed is bad, responsibility good, we can revisit whether the kickings should continue for another five and a half years.

This is ridiculous. As an average American (too fat, not overly-bright, and fearful of change. I don’t own a gun, but am seriously considering it. Sure, I believe that religion in this country has been seriously perverted by fundamentalists, so keep your god off of me. But I am willing to drink like a fish and be bitter, so I think I still work out as somehow average), I don’t want to have to learn about Glass-Steagal, worry about how much of the country you’ve already sold to the Chinese or hear one more story about some complete moron who gets $25 million just for being the CEO of a failed institution. Just fix the shit and get the hell out of the way. Regulate, since it is obvious that when it comes to everything, we don’t consider the best interests of our planet, much less our neighbors. And please, for gods’ sakes and ours, get a fucking clue.

p.s. — As for energy independence, how is drilling more going to help when oil is globalized? It’s not like American oil stays in America. It is a (relatively) free market, you fuckwads! And besides, it sounds like when it comes to Drill Here, Drill Now!, you’re doing it wrong.

And hey, McCain, if you and Palin somehow win this thing, remember that I’ve seen a checkbook, so I am highly qualified to run the treasury under your administration. Please send me whatever paperwork I need to sign for the job.

Okay, I feel better now.

How sad. Back in 2001, The Onion provided us a look at 8 years of G-Dub, and yet there were still enough idiots voting for him the second time around to allow him to continue his reign of destruction. Thanks, idiots. Apparently democracy is not the answer if a majority of your population is easily distracted by scary words and shiny things. Can we please retire him and his entire administration to Guantanamo now?

Woo-hoo? Boo-hoo!

Great. It looks like my bank is going under fast, and the F.D.I.C. may not have the funds to cover our deposits without begging some from the Treasury. Is it time to stuff my mattress with money, or does it really matter at this point? At what point will we need a wheelbarrow full of dollars to buy a loaf of bread? I have the wheelbarrow, but I may need my paper money for bookmarks, toilet paper and other more constructive items. Isn’t a conservative, deregulated America great?

Break out the flip-flops

How exactly does McCain plan on rescuing the economy from a disaster he helped create? More hands-off policies, like the ones he championed for and that have led to our current problems? Or perhaps by letting Sarah “Economic Death” Palin run the show economically? Either way, we’re screwed. Since “conservative” now means spend rampantly and dismantle all safeguards, I don’t think that is really the best direction for our country to continue in.

Prattling on that our economy is fundamentally strong and simultaneously in a total crisis seems to send a mixed message. Blaming it on Washington (I assume he actually means D.C., since Washington the state has little influence over the running of the nation), is not the greatest tactic either, considering that most people not suffering from rectal-headinsertionism have already noticed that it is the McCain/Palin party that has been running the show for almost 8 years now, which coincidentally is about the length of time that things have started really falling apart.

If I gave a damn at this point, I’d link to statements from the McCain camp that after a lifetime of fighting for deregulation, McCain supports new regulations now. Hey McCain, instead of new regulations, how about reinstating the ones we already had that were working? I realize that it would put a serious crimp in your attempts to increase the wealth of the top 10% or so at the cost of the rest of us, but every once in a while shouldn’t you try to do the honorable thing (you remember honor, don’t you? Your ghost writer defined it in your five books. Although since that was before you became a caricature of an angry old man, ranting at the clouds and reliving his favorite “five and a half years!”, perhaps you don’t)?

As long as America is going to vote Whitey McMelanoma rather than Uppity Hopeman into office, I have to accept that we’re pretty much screwed. How about this time we vote for the candidate with the brain rather than the candidate we’d rather have the beer with, please? Pretty please?

I still can’t decide; was Kosinski describing the W presidency, or the upcoming McSleasy presidency?
“It’s for sure a white man’s world in America. Look here: I raised that boy since he was the size of a piss-ant. And I’ll say right now, he never learned to read and write. No, sir. Had no brains at all. Was stuffed with rice pudding between th’ ears. Shortchanged by the Lord, and dumb as a jackass. Look at him now! Yes, sir, all you’ve gotta be is white in America, to get whatever you want. Gobbledy-gook!”
– Louise, in Being There

Yes, it’s good to be white in America.

It’s hard to take McCain seriously when he talks about reform and economic policy, especially in reference to the current housing and financial crises that we are facing. Is he unaware that these crises can be blamed almost completely on legislation sponsored in part by his former campaign co-chair and economic advisor, Phil Gramm?

Phil Gramm, one of the geniuses who brought us the Enron Loophole and the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act*, which gutted the protections provided by the Glass-Steagall Act from nineteen-thirty-whatever . . . hmmm, what was that event called that the Glass-Steagall Act was a response to, and supposed to help prevent from happening again? It’s on the tip of my tongue . . . rhymes with “fate regression” . . . oh well, I’ll figure it out at some point.

Thank you, John McCain. Thank you Phil Gramm. And thank you to whichever party has been in power for the past 8 years for allowing these crises to keep building, providing us all with a deep fisting by the invisible hand of the market. If it weren’t for your awesome work, we would not have the stellar performances demonstrated by great corporations like Enron, Lehman Brothers, Merrill Lynch, Tyco and WorldCom.

*Yes, I am aware that then-President Bill Clinton, a Democrat, was the Idiot In Chief who signed off on this. I shall forever remember him as the president of blowjobs and bailouts.

UPDATE, end of day(ish): Wow, what a day. It’s a good thing the “fundamentals of our economy are strong”. I’d hate to see what McCain considers a bad economy. I think it’s time to invest a few more dollars in hope with a donation to Obama. It’s not like my money will be worth anything if McCain wins.

Oh goodie, a harshly worded memo. The Palin/McCain campaign attacks with lies and distortion and the Obama/Biden campaign issues a huffy memo. I feel good about our chances of having a President Obama now. Will Canada accept me as a political refugee yet?

Eight years ago, the most important issue was which candidate we most wanted to have a beer with. Four years ago, it was which candidate we wanted to have a beer with. Now the important issue is which candidate do we want to pray with? If we the people believe leadership is defined by crashing planes and talking to god, and extensive foreign policy is defined as being able to see Russia from a flyspeck island off our coast, we’re fucked. Hell, Mohammed Atta had the piloting skills of McCain and the talking to god of Sarah, plus much more extensive world travel. If he weren’t dead, he’d be the perfect Republican candidate.

I have an atlas. It is 25 years old and a lot of countries have changed since then. Still, I’ve looked through it and know facts about such exciting places as Checkozlovakia, and the U.S.S.R.. I’ve seen pictures of the countries even! Isn’t it about time I get nominated for Vice President of the World? Heck, my daughter, with her shiny new atlas containing Russia, the Czech Republic and other new countries could be my running-mate. Not only has she seen the world, but she’s seen the new version. Lilmonster for President of the New World! If it helps our election chances, we will even run on the Republican Flat Earth platform.

The McCain/Palin campaign has been taking a lot of heat for using Heart’s “Barracuda”. The honorable thing for them to do is quit using the song and find another. And lucky for them, I think I’ve found the perfect campaign song for the McCain/Palin ticket: Anthony B’s “Mr. heartless”
