Mortgage Meltdown = Less Broken Homes…

broken home

My next career will be to find myself as a political strategist. Right beside me will be an economist and a statistician. The stats dude is like your cornerman in the boxing ring. He can tell you what spots to hit your opponent for the greatest effect.

All kinds of folks were shitting bricks when the news came down that the government would have to bail out super-mortgage lenders Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac. This is some huge hiccup shit. The only thing worse would be a government rescue of the FDIC. If that shit has to go down then you can best believe motherfuckers will be jumping from skyscraper windows.

So with all the news of doom and gloom in the housing market there comes a ray of light from the darkness. The number of divorces in the U.S. has declined along with the value in real estate. As families have had to come to grips with the fact that most aren’t really into their significant other anymore they have been unable to separate themselves due to the heavy debtload their mortgages carry.

Broken Homes, Unwanted Houses

Imagine trying to sell your home to pay off your divorce lawyers when you find that the current appraisal is $100K less than you paid for the damn thing!?! This totally shifts the focus on that old adage, “Its cheaper to keep her”. Couples are finding banks reluctant to refinance the properties when only one income is maintaining the mortgage. The new American dream is now being able to afford your divorce lawyer.

Where is the politician taking credit for the housing collapse and mortgage meltdown by saying that he/she did this to keep families together? SARAH PALIN would totally bust her guns for this.

This one however goes out to a child who was allegedly born way back in April…

Here’s to hoping you find out who your real mommy is and that you don’t have to keep living your life as a political football.

beauty queen

I want to bet someone that the extent of McCAIN’s vetting process was learning that SARAH PALIN was a former beauty queen from Alaska.

I can see the old man calling PALIN “a sweet cunt.”

What?!? Are you forgetting that those are his words!

I have to admit that I’m smitten with PALIN myself. She is doing her damnedest to be a GILF that can get it, but good.

I’m the dude that is always looking to see who is pulling the strings like the Wizard of Oz. What will SARAH PALIN speak about tonight at the Republican National Convention? She could pull that beauty queen trick out her bag where those chicks cry a lot.

Remember when HILLARY almost cried that time? She had that sniff-pause-sniff. The MSM press went “Oooooooooooh.” The following days headline was all about a heartfelt HILLARY. Sheeeeeeeit. HILLARY is a stone-cold customer in the game of politricks. For that ice queen to shed a tear she would need an industrial powered evaporator in her pantsuit’s pocket. But you get the point.

HILLARY was no beauty queen though. Imagine how hot PALIN would be if she had NO kids and no dumbass husband?

BILL CLINTON would declare himself a Republican.

You know PALIN likes to get it in too, not just because of all the kids she already has, but because she wanted Alaska to secede from the United States. Whoa! Alaska has so much oil and and so few people they could become one of the wealthiest nations in the world. Definitely the top dog in this hemisphere.

Now that is some crazy retro-confederate madness.

Never Forgetting Our Bornday…

katrina

I made this website public during the evening that Hurricane Katrina touched land in the Gulf Coast region. I literally sat at my computer in my parent’s basement and watched the newsfeeds from CNN to MSNBC that proclaimed the storm to be the worst in decades.

We all remember the fallout and wreckage from the days and months that would follow this disaster. For my generation, the high water mark in the Ninth Ward of New Orleans was a low point in American history. As we here at DP Dot Com celebrate the anniversary of this website we also want to remind our friends that just like the flood waters in Louisiana, the stakes are high.

Using an angry and pointed humor my buddy P-City created this video using a track from another former New Orleans native – Mystikal.

POLITRICKS 2008: Eight Is Enough…

I went to a dinner party at my boy MALIK’s crib to watch the nomination speech from BARACK OBAAMA. In terms of political speak it was one of the best speeches I have ever heard. BARACK OBAAMA did a fantastic job of connecting JOHN McCAIN with the current presidential administration. I remember when the G.O.P. connected AL GORE to the CLINTON administration. That shit stuck like a motherfucker too.

What’s funny to me is that OBAAMA seems to be more BUSH-like policywise than JOHN McCAIN. Didn’t OBAAMA just co-sign the FISA bill that exempted the telecom providers from criminal prosecution? That single piece of legislation was one of the most damaging documents to the civil liberties of Americans. If the government isn’t going to protect our rights then no one will. I guess this is that own-ership that OBAAMA was referring to. The other G DUBBZ similarities are the two daughters and the reported past affinity for the “white girl” (no Alice Blackwell).

There isn’t much I gleaned from OBAAMA’s speech as to exactly how we are going to accomplish the goals that he has set out for us like returning industry back to America and educating the children. I shouldn’t have expected too much in the way of substantive methodology since the Republicans are backpedaling as we speak. The G.O.P. convention organizers are considering pushing back their shindig because of the hurricane now threatening the Gulf Coast.

Memo to the White House: (not like they read these damn things anyhoo)
You are already three years too fucking late.

My favorite part of OBAAMA’s speech was his reference to the droll 1980’s sitcom that starred DICK Van PATTEN called ‘Eight Is Enough’. Eight years of the G DUBBZ administration has certainly been enough for my viewing pleasure. It’s been high time to cancel this series. What I’m worried about is OBAAMA and BIDEN being the cast for the reruns.
