“I brought Foxy in to improve my productivity, and she can’t do that while Joe is teaching her bad words in Italian.”
Link of the Day [9.23.08]It's getting to be that time again. Perhaps, a new blogger template?
Or maybe a move to a real domain and my own garden in the intrawebs.
Anyway, there are some cool color palettes from a Van Gogh painting to
choose. If you don't like 'em, there's more at the main site.
Obviously, I want something in a darker theme, perhaps, "Starry Night."http://www.colourlovers.com/blog/2008/09/20/van-gogh-and-the-colors-of-t

"Charlie has hit every major military target In Vietnam, and hit 'em
hard. In Saigon, the United States Embassy has been overrun by suicide
squads. Khe Sahn is standing by to be overrun. We also have reports that
a division of N.V.A. has occupied all of the city of Hue south of the
Perfume River. In strategic terms, Charlie's cut the country in half…

Cronkite's going to say the war is now unwinnable. In other words, it's

Link of the Day [9.22.08]The Big Bailout is coming, and it will only help the Masters of the
Universe who got us into this mess. I keep hearing from people that
Barack Obama is going to raise our taxes. With this shit happening, our
taxes are going to be raised just to fund the retirement of the Masters
of the Universe. They play around and get hurt, and now they come
crying to the government for help. And we'll let them. Isn't it about
time that those who believe in the free market to let the free market
work? Shit happens. Too bad. Get a job.Anyway, if you're as angry at this predicament, remember this is all
part and parcel of the way Republicans run our nation. They don't take
any responsibility in the mess they make. They want the working man to
clean up after them, but don't want to help the working man themselves.
Vote Obama. Also, contact your Congressman and Senator and express your dismay at
the Big Bailout and the lack of oversight going into it. The last time
the administration said it must act fast, we got the war in Iraq.
Sometime's we have to step back and wonder, "WTF."http://globaleconomicanalysis.blogspot.com/2008/09/lies-from-paulson-kee

One for CapitolSwell to ponder and amuse himself on.
“My boss is pretty strict, so I can’t get any of you free food, except for Bill.”
Reading about the big bailout of the financial industry, I am fucking mad. If the pussy Democrats in Congress allow it to pass, then John McCain deserves to be president, because the nation can go to hell.
To give that much power and control to the Fed is just something else. They want to buy the bad assets with our money. We should be buying the companies themselves for the amount we are paying. And we should be making every wage slave of the financial industry our own personal butlers and maids. The should come to my house and clean it.
Here’s some links of note to the whole fucking boondoggle.
We have seen the fall of communism supposedly brought down by our Republican friends. Now we see the fall of capitalism brought down by our Republican friends. Like I said before, they should never ever be entrusted with the government.

Not enough time for posting this weekend, I’m out of town in the woods.
So, what will your taxes buy with the bailout of AIG? Why it’s the sponsorship of the English Premiere League’s Manchester United! How sweet! We should see if we can acquire some better players.
Thanks, capitalism!
