“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.

They’re still making billions

Why you should hate it

The failure of capitalism

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.

Quote of the Day [9.19.08]

Yo, ho, yo, ho
A pirate’s life for me
Yo, ho, yo, ho
It’s a pirate’s life for me
Drink up me hearties

“Sir, Chuck Connors wasn’t in Chinatown.”

I don’t think I have to remind you guys that today is “Talk like a pirate day.”

Speaking of which, a game programmer, asked the intrawebs about why some people pirate his games. He’s got a rundown on many of the saner reasons, and he’s got solutions to some of the critiques of his games and their cost. He’s trying to fix it, so that they aren’t pirated. As much. Good luck. Hope to hear from you in a year about how those changes worked.

Avast, keel haul ’em!

Quote of the Day [9.18.08]

There’s nothing wrong with Capitalism
There’s nothing wrong with free enterprise
Don’t try to make me feel guilty
I’m so tired of hearing you cry
There’s nothing wrong with making some profit
If you ask me I’ll say it’s just fine
There’s nothing wrong with wanting to live nice
I’m so tired of hearing you whine

Oingo Boingo, “Capitalism”

Quote of the Day [9.17.08]

There is no guidance in your kingdom
Your wicked walk in Babylon
There is no wisdom to your freedom
The richest man in babylon

Thievery Corporation, “The Richest Man in Babylon”

“Wait a minute. You’re telling me that our entire case is based on all judges being Masons?”

Pretty soon it will be Holloween, but John McCain doesn’t need a mask. He is our nations worst nightmare.

Jill Greenberg photographed McCain for the latest issue of the Atlantic. She made it unflattering. She also did a photoshopped version with McCain saying, “I am a bloodthirsty warmonger.” Very funny, but it does no good to point out the obvious. In fact, people will be more sympathetic with this pathetic person. That isn’t exactly what we need to rid our nation of the scourge of Republicans. Where’s buffy when you need her?
