One for CapitolSwell to ponder and amuse himself on.

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!

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

Sometimes wishes may come true. Doubtful.
The best figure out there, but very difficult to find. They need to re-issue it one more time. Like today would’ve been cool. >_
