hangover

Hey, I gave, I volunteered and I voted. So I earned my right to offer a little feedback, which is PC talk for bitch and moan as my Pa would say.

First, what is the dealio, or new deal, or post modern inversion of a deal, with every corporate CFO in America lining up to take a chunk out of my $700 billion donation, which is starting to look more and more and more like it would have been better spent handing out thousand dollar bills to the middle class to go spend at WalMart and restart a little consumer confidence. Not saying this is the America I really want, a bunch of crap in everyone's pot so's we have a million new $7 an hour jobs, but if you read the WSJ or the NYT now you know, it's back on your everyman to go out and buy buy buy again. Something really stinks and I'm hoping it isn't the Chicago school of economics. I'm from Ohio and here's a big fat red flag from my people - in another 15 minutes we are going to be really pissed off about this new corporate welfare program, which is the complete opposite direction of help for the middle class, and start blaming the guy who isn't even President yet.

Second, Hellooooooooo - genocide, Congo, what are we doing about that?

Third, does anyone really still care what is on Sarah Palin's mind anymore? Couldn't we just forget this ever happened?

WSJ man out on the ledge

Silly man, is there so much panic and anxiety in your world that an American presidential candidate can actually cause you to fall over yourselves on your way to...what, locking up your cash under your bed? Good grief already with the doomsday, "he's going to take all my money and give it some crack ho'" craziness. Just how bad was it for you under Clinton after all? The sackcloth, the ashes, the hysteria as if the O-man were some kind of Lord of the Rings evil wizard who could, with a wave, vaporize the basic capitalistic infrastructure around here, psychic and otherwise. News flash, my man, Social Security is a really great program that keeps a lot of seniors out of the pet food aisles. Universal health care would actually save a lot of misery, maybe lives, and put a lot more cash in the working man's wallet - to save, invest and buy the kind of crap that keeps the American economy strong. Alternative energy might actually be the new dot.com revolution that can re-energize our economy. Doing right by folks, and investing in the future should not scare you so much. Hey, is that your backbone I saw laying by the side of the road a few miles back?
