Cain Sex, Greece Default and Wall Street Mishaps Start Holiday Season

Now that Halloween is behind us, the onslaught of holiday puke and poison starts to quickly shove its bright red and green down the throats of the unsuspecting. Shimmers of gold and silver line the pockets of the Wall Street bankers and top CEO’s as corporate reports have concluded and the money allocated to the collapse over the next year can get divided up among the wealthy. The poor are left to camping in public parks and protesting the decline of the world economy as they watch the rich throw lavish parties and sip on the finest champagne and lap the most expensive caviar and delicacies. The sky is falling! The sky is falling! So where is the truth in the lame stream media and the outliers of the fringe society? Who reports on the truth and decline of the American politics? No one. Well, very few. It just doesn’t seem to really matter.
We know that the great shall fall and no one can display that better these days than GOP former front-runner Herman Cain. Oh how the mighty will stick their willy in the face of … well, we don’t have all of the names yet. It may not have been that bad, but the fact remains that skeletons at Halloween are worse than daemons during Hanukkah. No matter your beliefs, the political exalted find their way to the dredges of society eventually. If you want to be a politician (man or woman) you need to stay in touch with the common man, but not actually touch the common man or say anything that might think them to believe that you would want to touch them in any inappropriate way. You could always blame the memory loss amnesia diagnosis “I cannot recall” statement – which seems to work better than the “I don’t know what you’re talking about” or “What the F#$% are you talking about?” statements. The damage of innocent ignorance seems to do more than the admission of slighted guilt (“I did not have sexual relations with…”). If history in politics is any indicator, Herman Cain might as well go back to shoveling cardboard pizza to gas station patrons and hope he doesn’t get blamed for causing gastrointestinal disease for toxic ‘food’.
And yes… Greece! The cradle of Democracy – the white-robed theologians and scholars who praised many Gods – the lovers of gay men and women – the decadent and morally questionable society that… oh, who were we talking about? That’s right… Greece. So they agree to a deal that leads to the biggest rally in stock in years and then think about it over the weekend. Hmmm, maybe not such a good idea? Maybe we could just stop paying our bills and deal with this stuff on our own without anyone telling them what to do and how to do it? Sounds good to us. Bankrupt yourself to start over. If you were doing it yourself, what would you do? Pay your bills and eat dirt or cut your losses and start over? Millions of American have had to make this choice. Many more are still trying to struggle with how they should proceed. Only time will tell and only those making the decisions know the truth that affects them.

Michelle Bachmann Not American Girl

It happens all of the time. Ronald Reagan did it, John McCain did it and it even happened to some Democrats, but Michelle Bachmann got the letter pretty quick – the dreaded “Cease and Desist” order… from rock n’ roll icon and Gainsville Florida native Tom Petty. It seems that Presidential hopefull Michelle Bachmann used the Tom Petty classic “American Girl” to open her walk on speech before a crowd of loyalist supporters and it didn’t sit well with someone. It didn’t take more than a few hours for the Tom Petty management team to get the message across… STOP USING MY SONG!
Now that she has put the tea party loyaists on the high road to religious spiritualism and salvation by ruinning for president, she’s backtracking on calling Obama ‘un-American’ and now she just supports calling the white house officials ‘gangsters’. She stopped short of calling them ‘the mob’ so she didn’t ruffle the feathers of the Italian-American community (but it’s okay to piss-off the African-American community). Michelle Bachmann is building the reputation of white supremacy through the tea party supporters, hailing God and ultra-conservative values as the moniker of the 2012 campaign. Good for her!

6.6 Billion ‘lost’ in Iraq in 2004

It seems that history will look back a George W Bush and remember him as the president who started a war on false pretenses and then gave away enough American money to build a new nation – if they could only find it. We all know the false pretenses, it has become part of the nation speech for the “Axis of Evil” and “Weapons of Mass Destruction“. Sure, by now we have almost forgotten about the war that brought the end of Saddam Hussein and the eminent threat of cold war, toxic chemical genocide and mass murder of those who are unlike everyone else. It also seems that the Pentagon has released some information from 2004 that… well… might be a little embarrassing. In a covert operation to buy Iraq, the US Government loaded C-130 transport carries packed with shrink-wrapped $100 bills and sent them on a journey to buy off anyone who opposed the Bush Administration. Funny part is, no one can find or knows what happened to the money…. over 6.6 BILLION of it!
POOF! Gone! Nobody knows what happened to it or where it might have gone. The American taxpayers are required to keep records of what they take in and spend, but the Federal Government can ‘lose’ several billion dollars and not have to account for it. BULLSHIT! That’s right. Bullshit! How do you lose a cargo plane full of money? How do you ‘misplace’ billions and not have to account for it even 7 years later? This is not the first time and we’re sure it won’t be the last. We just wan tot know where the money went… and why? The USA has dumped billions of dollars in cash into countries for years to ‘build’ relationships – we can all see how well that has worked out.
Here’s an idea… stop giving money to other countries and start spending it on your own country. If you think we have a problem in our own country, how can spending billion on other countries make our lives better. In an economy that has been collapsing for years with virtually no end in sight (except for the power pushers who say everything is good). If you’re income is less than $150,000 a year – you’re feeling the pinch. If your income is less than $50,000 a year – it is impossible to keep living without eating up your savings or living paycheck to paycheck. If your income is less than $25,000 a year – you probably have roommates and live like a commune fraternity troop. If you’re income is less than $12,000 you probably are on welfare, medicaid and SSI while you visit the free clinic and local food pantry to keep your belly full and meth lab going.

Sure, it may be a play on words, but maybe their really should be a debt sealing. Cutting off the limit that can be borrowed happens to everyone else, so why not the federal government? So what if it collapses the world falls helplessly into the the despair of uncertain death… If you can’t get your finances under control, then stop spending.
It doesn’t matte if you’re a Republican or a Democrat or a Tea Party Socialist, you can’t deny the fact that overspending in any economy is just leading to the destruction of your own civilization. Back when George W. Bush was running things, it seemed that spending was the word of the day. Need money for war? Just borrow it. Need money for Homeland Security? Just borrow it. Need money to build a 30′ wall blocking the Mexican border? Just borrow it.
But let us not forget President Obama. Need to bail out the banks that are ‘too big to fail’? Borrow it. Need to bail out the car makers? Borrow it. Need to balance the budget? Forget about it…. until it comes time to pay the bill. So when does it end? Both sides of the house budget committee can’t seem to agree on where to borrow the money from next, where to cut from next or where to steal from to cover their asses in an upcoming election season.
So what are the options? STOP SPENDING MONEY! STOP PAYING (or buying off) POLITICIANS, GOVERNMENTS, CONTRACTORS, and ANYBODY ELSE WITH THEIR HAND OUT! It may sound simple, but you can only bleed for so long before you begin to die. We know we’re not talking about a human life, but we are talking about the life of the United States of America and the financial life of a country.
Recent reports said charitable spending from the general population of the US is up to over 2.2 billion dollars. That’s enough to keep a small country running for years. So how much does the government contribute? TRILLIONS? WE spend more than any other country in the world on ‘relations’ in the form of cash. So much cash that it’s difficult to account for and even more difficult to track once it leaves the hands of the politicians.
How long do you get to solve the problem? Ask any politician in office and and it is always too late. If you can’t fix the problem immediately, then you are part of the problem. Let’s see what the new faces of politics say they can do to solve the world problems and bring the American society back to the world of the living. And then see how long it take s them to fix it.
