Greenspan Receives a Remedial Economics Lesson–Greed Trumps the Market

Greenspan: Shocked, shocked, shocked!

So it comes as a huge surprise to Alan Greenspan that lack of regulation merely encourages unbridled greed to such an extent that the market winds up eating itself alive. I guess he never heard of the worm Oroboros. Of course, it wasn’t HIS fault–he was only the most powerful man in finance, responsible for setting the interest rates on those loans that got out of hand. Not to mention supporting Bush’s/Cheney’s insane tax cuts that drained the Treasury so that we had to borrow money for his wars, for disaster recovery, and now to save the banks. It was our due

Speaking of things that got out of hand, Sarah Palin has a new wardrobe LOL. $150K, but don’t worry–it’ll all go to charity after the election. That’s right, to charity. You got that now? It’s going to charity.

God, what hypocrites.

So what does that make us, the unreal America, or the real un-Americans?

Bob Clampett Homage After

So here we are with the last of the Dodos. Which one is the bigger Dodo, Sarah Palin, who thinks that real Americans ‘tolerate’ homosexuals, want victims of incest or rape to have children they had no choice in conceiving, think evolution is just some silly scientific fiction, don’t want blacks, latinos or poor whites to vote, and think that other Americans who disagree with them should be called terrorists and murdered (at least until the librul media found out about it and then she said she wouldn’t tolerate that kind of talk after smiling at it all last week), or John McCain, who chose this bigot as his running mate and now has to make believe he’s “proud” of her so he can ride on HER coattails. DRILL, BABY, DRILL! I always assumed that REAL Americans were not only “tolerant” but proud of our national diversity. Guess I just haven’t spent enough time at the strip mall.

Congratulations to Colin Powell for having come to his senses, realizing he no longer has to follow orders.

IS there a real John McCain?

Well, the debates are over. John McCain actually did a lot better in this one than he did in any of the others (even the Town Meeting Style one), but boy, what a nasty old man he is. He can lie much better with a straight face (Straight Face Express?) especially when he tried to link Obama to the Weathermen and then the Weathermen to ACORN. But he still didn’t do as well as Obama, who remained unflappable in the face of what would be considered slander if these weren’t public figures duking it out for the Presidency. I did like when McCain literally dropped his jaw when Obama told him he was completely wrong about the details of his health plan. I wish that Obama had thought to mention that most of the registration irregularities in ACORN’s lists were in fact flagged by ACORN as possibly fraudulent registrations, but there’s only so much you can get into a timed response. Irish bookmakers are already prepped to pay off on Obama (Wash Times) Bookies bank on Obama win: Pay out early”–but there’s still a lot of fraud at the polls the REPUBLICANS can
