HOORAY hooray hooray hooray, time for a special "endless economic doom" update: the Dow Jones did a 500-point nosedive today, and something called the "fear index" rose above 30, which is Very Bad (And Yet Seems Normal?), because that is its "biggest daily percentage move since May 2010" according to MSNBC.
Welcome to the Teabagger Recession -- and we bow in awe of your financial astuteness. I'm going to follow your lead, just as soon as I scrape up $500, and find a bank in NYC that won't rape me for $20 a month on such a miserly sum. Yeah, that's $240/year, roughly a FIFTY FUCKING PERCENT annual fee.
The only job the 'baggers have a focus on is Obama's. Here's hoping the electorate gives the GOP a sincere, heartfelt "Fuck You!" come November 2012. (That's going to be my toast, every glass I raise, for the next 18 months.)
Perfectly rationally. Corporations are scared shitless, and sitting on their cash. Take some of it away from them as tax revenue, however, and it gets pumped back into the economy: you could employ a whole lot of people, who would buy a whole lot of stuff, if you took those hundreds of billions of dollars and built some infrastructure with it. (Tell me how many jobs Apple will create when they buy Netflix, or Cisco, or whatever, with their $70 billion.)
But no, we got ourselves a Teabagger Recession: nothing gets done, nothing gets built, and the whole fucking economy follows the trajectory of the FAA.
I'm available for adoption. I can play the guitar, bass, and sing. I am great with animals. I'm house trained, can cook AND can tell a wicked funny story. Contact me offline..
Fuck that noise...if I'm going to be reduced to being clean once per week, I'm going to fucking well use a black plastic garbage bag and a sprinkler head.
I was talking to a hyper-patriot acquaintance of mine and he was yarbling on about the Great Big War On Terror. I got to thinking about how Dubya and his cronies were duped into getting us into sinkhole type wars. Then I thought, what if Al-Queada had known from the start that they couldn't beat us militarily, but had actually set up to bankrupt the west. If that's the case, not only was it brilliant, but it kicked.our.fucking.asses.
Wait...BO isn't Satan? I have to go take a virgin off of the alt...er, wash the car.

"the Koch boys lost a lot of money today."
Finally, a tax cut I can believe in.
You're going to want the old ones, so they retain their value when melted down and turned into useful stuff.

It's like the tides. No one can explain it!
