2 bags

Just when you think the U.S. economy is already fucked the fuck up enough more bad news comes own the pipe.

Economy Sailing Into Rougher Waters

I love that economists are just now figuring this shit out. Do these dumbasses ever come from out of their parent’s basements? The U.S. economy has been in a precipitous decline for over a decade and the economists haven’t said shit. When the Dot Com boom was busting these humps kept tight lipped until it was too late. When ENRON was playing three card monty with their accounting ledgers the economists just acted like co-defendant shills. If General Motors or Ford or Chrysler flops we will be looking at double digit unemployment.

And when I say we I mean the imperial ‘we’ which is to say white. Black folks have already been knee deep in double digit unemployment ever since emancipation. How will our nation respond to the fact that no one is allowed to retire any longer? I like overhearing the conversations that happen on the commuter rail but I also know well enough not to interject my opinions into these people’s train of thoughts. Most white go their entire lives without ever examining the lies they believe as truth. The conversation went like this…

White #1: I like Obama and I voted for him.

White #2: You didn’t even vote.

White #1: I would have, but in New York it doesn’t even matter.

White #2: I voted for McCain. Obama will raise taxes.

White #1: You don’t make that much money.

White #2: And if I did he would raise my taxes.

Guess what Shit-4-Brains?!? Your taxes were raised the day we started dropping bombs on Afghanistan. The moment we sent troops into Iraq your taxes were also raised by proxy. So to make the complaint that Democratic presidents are the ones that raise taxes is of course a typically underdeveloped idea. The Republican led administration that has set up the $10B per month Iraqi rebuilding program raised your taxes six years ago. Now that there is a new administration in office the bill is coming to the table. Too bad that your dumb ass forgot that your ordered this shit eight years ago.

Now you are getting your just desserts.

POLITRICKS 2008: Fanboys Unite…

Wednesday, November 12th, 2008

what if conan

The BARACK OBAAMA fanboy frenzy is still at a fever pitch a full week after the elections. What is spurring everyone’s interest has been the tidbits of TMI that are being leaked through the mainstream media. Did you know BARACK OBAAMA was left handed and loves to eat his morning cereal wearing his boxer shorts and his shoes?

There is some stuff that is better left unknown, not to save the president elect from any embarrassment, but rather to save the electorate (me) from banality and boredom. Did you know he worked at a Baskin-Robbins as a teenager and now he can’t stand the taste of ice cream? That’s prA’li because he was one of those plucky kids that put a little extra cream into one of those containers. I worked at a Kentucky Fried Chicken as a teenager and for about fifteen years afterwards I hadn’t eaten any KFC.*

Sidenote: When in Barbados last month I had the reederkulous KFC jones. And it was good.

The Brit rag Telegraph has posted online the fifty (50) things about BARACK OBAAMA that we may not know. What that drop should have been titled is the 50 Facts About Barack Obaama That You Know Because We Are Telling You.

Barack Obama: The 50 facts you might not know

Wow, and here it was I thought BARACK OBAAMA was an elitist. It says there that all his friends in Indonesia are street urchins. Just like sea urchins, except dirtier because of the street. Hey, what do you know? The president elect is an everyfan nerdboy who even collects Spider-Man and Conan the Barbarian comics. Hmmm, that’s a weird grouping, but whatever is clever. I guess he’s excited that Marvel will be revisiting the Conan character in their feature films.

Who do you think BARACK OBAAMA preferred as a Conan artist?

JOHN BUSCEMA? Or BARRY WINDSOR-SMITH?

Ha. As if…

GOP Gives Ice Queen The Big Chill…

Friday, November 7th, 2008

palin

The other side of the election is the massive fail for McCAIN and his ice queen, SARAH PALIN. The wheels are falling off this ride faster than I don’t know what. McCAIN will still be rich and since he is in the twilight of his life he can just return to the Senate and keep stealing money the way he has for the last two decades.

It doesn’t look like SARAH PALIN will be as lucky to retain her fiefdom. The G.O.P. vultures are swirling as you read this drop. They want to throw someone under the bus and it looks like it will be PALIN and her clan.

Strains Between McCain and Palin Aides Go Public. This story revolves around the charges that SARAH PALIN overextended the campaign budget for her wardrobe. I’m curious as to how one can spend so much and still look so frumpy. I know chicks that hit up the $10 dress spot on Dyckman and come out looking like video ho’s, er, models.

There have been charges flung from anonymous mouthpieces that PALIN could not identify the countries involved in NAFTA. That to me sounds like about more than half of this country. Our politicians are represntative of who we are, and what we are as a nation. Although SARAH PALIN did seem to just fall out of the sky she is by no means an anomaly of the American political body. That should be evident by the fact that her teenage daughter got pregnant.

Speaking of BRISTOL PALIN… Let’s see what happens with her “pregnancy” in another few months.

At the end of the day it is JOHN McCAIN who is to blame for not properly vetting his vice presidential nominee. I’m sure the McCAIN camp doesn’t want to hear that but just like the tagline for the website reads: You Can’t Handle The Truth.
