You're Kidding, Right?????
Yesterday, I awoke to the likes of Westboro Baptist Church telling me that Good Ol' Santy Clause was gonna take me to hell. THAT was an eye-opener. This morning, I crank up my daily dose of Drudge and what to my wondering eyes should appear??? Another article about Congress raping my rear. Check THIS out.
That's right, Folks. Congress has voted themselves another raise. Not just a raise but a $4,700.00 per year raise. With more than two million people having lost their jobs due to what can only be described as "Congressional fuck-ups and miscues, those rotten, filthy, slimey, greed-head, goat rapists have the audacity to give themselves more money. Well....We can't blame them, really. Bribes cost money. Private School tuitions cost money. Whores and mistresses cost money. We, as taxpayers, need to understand the expenses involved with being a member (member is an appropriate word, here) of Congress....Yeah....Riiiiiight.
Really??? You guys really think you're entitled to a raise? You really feel like you've all done such a good job with things that you should now be able to reap your rewards? With an 18% approval rating???
Hey Buster, let me go ahead and say this now. I, as one of your employers, am NOT ANYWHERE NEAR satisfied with your job performance. As a matter of fact, I think you should all take a pay cut down to sayyyyyy, ONE DOLLAR PER YEAR.....At least until the economy is back on track. Add up the combined yearly salaries of Congress and Senate and apply that to the "Bailouts". After all, isn't it YOUR "patriotic duty" to come to the aide of YOUR Country?
Just when I thought they couldn't shock me, too.

Merry Christmas?
I will begin this with: I am a Christian and I hold Christian beliefs. I'm not any particular "Brand" of Christian, in that I don't subscribe to any one particular doctrine. I don't think the Catholics have any more insight into my immortal soul than the Baptists. Also, for the record, I was brought up in a Baptist church.
I wanted to lead off with those statements to re-enforce THIS statement: THESE PEOPLE DO NOT REPRESENT CHRISTIANS, ANYWHERE!!
Meet the Westboro Baptist Church. I'm sure everyone has heard of these people and their antics. They're the ones that like to go to the funerals of Fallen Soldiers and protest. They hold signs that berate homosexuals with threats of fire and brimstone. Some of their signs tell everyone that the soldier being buried was actually killed by God out of anger over two guys bangin each other in a bathroom.
Ya know, you don't have to be a Christian to see how terribly fucked up their logic is. Hell, I'd be willing to bet that even some atheists would be willing to concede that those people are fucked up four ways from Sunday.
And, just when you thought they couldn't top their last "Festival of Stupidity", out comes "Santa Clause will take you to hell". Come on, man. You bastards have to pick on Santy Clause, too? I noticed on one of the signs, a pictogram of two stick figures cornholin' in the corner. What the hell does that have to do with Christmas? I mean, really....
I get that the world is fucked up like one big ol' soup sandwich. I get that people everywhere are living selfish, debauched lifestyles. I get that corporate greed is going to be one of the downfalls of civilazation, as we know it. And, I even get that God is probably more than a little pissed at his children. But, I like to think that good ol' Santy Clause is like, one of the last GOOD things left on this Earth. Christmas is the one time of year when people , in their own convoluted way, tend to stop thinking of themselves and genuinely try to do some good. Believe it or not, some people still celebrate the day as the birth of Jesus Christ. And, even if they dont celebrate it for that, it's still looked at as a Season For GIVING. To say that "God hates Christmas" is not only stupid, it's disrespectful.
It's true that Christians are their own worst enemy, sometimes. However, THESE PEOPLE DO NOT REPRESENT CHRISTIANITY ANY MORE THAN MUSLIMS REPRESENT TERRORISM. There are idiots everywhere. Please don't judge us by our worst examples.
Thank you Ester Goldberg, for bringing this story to the world. If you haven't read Views From Abroad, you're cheating yourself. Be sure to check it out and tell her, "that hateful ol' Meroll" sent you.
I Bid You Peace.

An Open Letter to Corporate America
Dear Sirs,
You rotten, filthy, slime covered, greed-head, goat-fucks. Congratulations, your worship of the Almighty Dollar has finally caused the World economy to collapse. Your inability to control your own greed has resulted in financial ruin for the whole country. I am so angry right now, that I find it difficult to organize my thoughts enough to put them in some cohesive form. So, cohesive or not, here goes:
Earlier in the year, we, the American people, were told that due to the price of oil, people could not afford the costs of fuel. That caused many companies to cut hours, production and even jobs. The construction industry began to suffer and no new homes were being built. Also, with many people being laid off or losing their jobs altogether, mortgages were not being paid and as a result of THAT, banks began to foreclose on many properties. As a result of THAT, the banking industry was left with a shit load of bad debt. As a result of THAT, many banks were left with more debt than they had assets. As a result of THAT, the banks began to fail. Since FDIC is only good up to 150,000 dollars the banks had to go to Uncle Sugar (Congress) and say, "Please Sir, may I have some more?" Congress, being a veritable cornucopia of rotten, filthy, slime covered, greed-head, goat-fucks, themselves, agreed to bail out the banking industry. Because, after all, who are they to cast stones? Not to mention, the coffers are virtually running over with money collected from the great citizens of this country, who are only too willing to do their "patriotic" duty and give up up to one half of their incomes at the stroke of a pen. The pen is indeed, mightier than the sword, eh?
Upon receipt of this influx of cash, we, the American people, find out that some of the money we gave ( not so willingly or cheerfully, I might add) went to posh resorts for the purpose of "schmoozing" their clientele. Not smart. But hey, we're Americans, right? We can take it. What's one more fleecing / ass raping by Congress. After all, it's only money.
Not to be outdone, theAuto making industry in this country took a look at their books and realized that maybe, perhaps, they had a little more going out than was coming in. So, off to Congress they went. Congress knew from their previous dealings over bail-outs, that the American people can only take being cornholed in small doses. But, they were willing to listen. One of the first things brought to light was the fact that the CEO's of the three auto makers had all flown to Washington in their own private jets that cost upwards in the amount of 20 million dollars apiece. Once again...Not smart, Bubba. The auto makers' reply: "Why are you bringin' up old shit?"
Congress sent them packing without so much as even listening to what they had to say. (Much to the amusement of the American people) More or less, they were told not to come back until they had (a) a damn good reason for the need for so much cash. (b) A damn good means of paying the money back. And finally, (c) a willingness to make some serious concessions for said cash.
Back to their respective companies they went. They met with other greed-head leaders and bean counters and came up with a plethora of reasons that it was essential they receive this money. "We'll have to close plants." "People are going to lose their jobs." We won't be able to make any more cars." "The foreign manufacturers will be the only ones making cars in this country!" And my personal favorite: "BANKRUPTCY IS NOT AN OPTION!!"
So, in other words, your business model has failed. The competition is out-doing you. You're bleeding money like a sieve. Your company has spent more money than it made and you're in over your collective heads and you see no way out without a huge influx of cash. The labor that you hired to build your automobiles has caught the "greed bug" themselves and aren't willing to budge an inch on how much money it will take for them to be willing to BE the labor end of your organisation. Under the present conditions, you can't afford to pay them to work so, therefore, you have no product being produced. Thus, no money coming in to repay a loan of any kind.
Now...Tell me how this is MY problem. Tell me, as an American Taxpayer, ( You know, the one who'll be "loaning" you this money ) how you're a good credit risk. If I went to you, right now, to try and buy one of your automobiles, with my individual credit rating, you'd throw me out of your building, after you stopped laughing. Yet, here you stand with the nerve and audacity to ask ME for some of MY money that I have to scrape and scrounge for, myself. And trust me when I say...Right now, your credit looks much worse than mine. See, I've never had my hands on millions of ANYTHING that was mine to keep or to lose. But, I feel that I could honestly say that if I DID have those millions, I'd make it a point to at least TRY to keep as much of it as possible. You know, just in case things didn't work out like I thought they would.
You see, that's how life is for the other 98 percent of the people in this and every other country in the "Free World".
You're not the only ones with money problems, Jack. The wolves are at ALL of our doors. And for you to stand there and act as if your money problems are more important to the welfare of this country than mine, only makes me want to rip out your collective spleens and do the Snoopy dance on your entrails, all the more.
I do know this, though: When I contracted Lymphoma and was unable to work and keep up with the necessary payments on my own home, there was no one there from Uncle Sugar with a big, fat, bailout check for me and my family. It was, "Sorry Bub. Shit happens." "Just be patient and buck up, little cowboy." "Things will surely get better." "You're still gonna lose your shit, though."
My question to you is this:
Why are your fuck-ups not yours to deal with? And... What are you gonna do for me?
Oh, and we DON'T need "more of the same". We can do this bad all by ourselves, thank you.
My advise to you is this:
Go ask the banking industry for the money...We just loaned them a shit-load. You can't have mine.
You rotten, filthy, slime covered, greed-head, goat-fucks. Congratulations, your worship of the Almighty Dollar has finally caused the World economy to collapse.
