Miles To Go, But Still No Dough…

Monday, October 20th, 2008

The ripples caused by our flailing banking system are continuing to drown other sectors of the economy as well.

People that have accrued a shitload of frequent flier miles are realizing that they are better off cashing in those miles than holding onto them because airlines have a tendency to go bankrupt. This should cause some airlines to file for Chapter 11 before this fiscal quarter is done when they lose their cash reserves to their customers.

For a minute I just have to step back and give props to the G Dubbz administration for totally making the American economic system fucked the fuck up in less than a decade. If G Dubbz was nothing else he was expeditious.

no country

Mexican drug dealers are pretty bad ass. We learned this shit from the movie ‘No Country For Old Men’ where we had several scenes of bad ass Mexican drug dealers shooting up shit like there was no tomorrow.

It’s not just gunplay either that makes the Mexican cartels so hardbody. They are types of cats to abduct kids for torture and ransom.

In this downturning economy I can imagine that the Mexican drugdealers will transition their business portfolios to include the more lucrative trade of selling that white…

POLITRICKS 2008: Doing The Right Thing…

I love that COLIN POWELL did the right thing in endorsing BARACK OBAAMA.

He even managed to avoid the theatrics of pulling out a Ziploc bag of yellow cake uranium.

This could be a major endorsement for carrying moderate Republicans and the nebulous “undecided” voting bloc.

My question is does COLIN POWELL still hold sway in the Republican party? He was unceremoniously pushed out the door from the G Dubbz cabinet by none other than CONDOLEEZA RICE.

Now if she endorsed OBAAMA my azz would duck and cover.

Now for the HATE portion of our program…

Yes, the bitch that sent this e-mail was a racist, but I will be gotdamned if this shit doesn’t make me hungry for some KFC original recipe wings.

This bitch claimed that there was no racial component in this imagery. Bitch please, if she had been smart enough to show some arugulla then maybe she might have an argument, but the historic degradation of African Americans is so fucking well-documented she must be stupid to think other people are as stupid.

Party people, after this election I will implore ALL of you to change your voter registration cards to indicate you are part of the Republican party. I am sick and tired of these supremacist fucks having their way with their dumb racist propaganda shit. We will transform that political party from within and we will also serve notice to the Democrats with a loud message. “What have you done for me lately?”

NYC TO NETS: NYET YET!

Brooklyn Arena Plagued By Poor Economy

I have been shitting on the Nets purported move to Brooklyn from day one. It’s a horrible effing idea. First of all, the Devils just moved into a brand new building in Newark. That town could use whatever help it gets from a corporate entity like the NBA coming into a building already occupied by the NHL. Keep in mind that sports teams only use these facilities for a fraction of ther year. It makes way more fiscal sense to operate a facility with two sports franchises helping to pay the light bill. Why do you think the Meadowlands has show record profits from Giants Stadium since the Jets moved in alongside them?

The second question becomes what we do with the void in space that we have by not installing an arena? My answer is on some economic evolutionary shit. Are y’all ready? Heads ain’t ready.

Affordable Living Space

I’m not talking about market rate apartments either. Sheeeeeeeit, I’m not talking about apartments at all. What Brooklyn needs is affordable living space so that people can take their home offices OUT of their homes. This will increase people’s quality of life when they have to get out of their apartments to go someplace where they have a mini-office or at least a cubicle. This will benefit all the graphic designers and journalists and shut-ins that never leave Bed-Stuy, Bushwick, Williamsburg or wherever. Get out of the fucking house and go to an office. There can be communal conference rooms for people to have business meetings and there should also be several water coolers per floor.

BRUCE RATNER can expand on the MetroTech plan by offering this affordable living space to non-profits and small business incubators. I call the offices “living spaces” becasue of the time that we all spend at our respective places of employment and such. Typically we are there from 8-10 hours and we are awake and active. making dinner plans, reading blogs, talking on the phone with creditors. I live in my fucking office. My co-op apartment is just a sneaker warehouse that I sleep in from time to time. The idea of getting people out of their homes to work is so that people don’t have to take their work home with them. Let the place we lay our heads be some kind of sanctuary for our souls.

With all the doom and gloom being forecasted in the U.S. economy I predict that most of us will have to work until we die. Why can’t we work smarter instead of harder. I think a communal office setting will also lead to an increase in productivity. Mainly though, I don’t want the sucky azz Nets occupying prime Brooklyn real estate.

“What’s the deal with the Nets yo?
Playing in the East ain’t enough for ’em
Two Carters, I thought they get better
Now they getting rid of Kidd, like a miscarraige”
