Captain, my religious belief teaches me to feel as safe in battle as in bed. God has fixed the time for my death. I do not concern myself about that, but to be always ready, no matter when it may overtake me." -- General Stonewall Jackson
News is just coming out now... we've lost Paul Newman to cancer. He apparently passed yesterday. I guess I need to get used to all of the greats from my youth passing now.
Do you hear the whining? Do you want cheese with that whine? We better get something more than paper cups with the whine we're all paying dearly for. The financial bailout is 100% PURE BULL SH*T!!! Anyone over 40 should remember the early 1980's and what a REAL economic crisis looked like (if you don't look it up). Not this phony greed propagated, worse-than-poor business decision financial failure. This is part congress, a huge part SEC, a huge part financial institution greed. It's bad enough they've foreclosed thousands of mortgages they improperly sold, cheating who knows how many middle income working class people out of their hard earned equity in their homes, but now they're getting rewarded for it by this criminal bailout. Do you believe the CEO's and chairman of the SEC will lose any of their loot? We're all familiar with the insane CEO buyouts during the past decade. Get ready to see many more once the bailout money is in the bank.
Citizens of the United States, any of us would go to prison for this type of action. We cannot allow this to happen. We MUST finally band together for something. For THIS. We must contact all of our congress people and demand they not only stand firm against this greed rewarding bailout but to insist on criminal charges being filed against the masterminds of this entire crisis.
