15 Dec 08 The Million Shoe March
The net is just full of comedy about the really big shoe this morning. Old one-liners that refer to shoes are being recycled everywhere to good effect, and a few Republican Patriots are weighing in with steel-toed jackboots of their own. Stiletto heels for Condoweezie? LMAO!
But here’s the real punch line: let’s all send Bush a shoe or two for Christmas. Here’s the address:
President George W. Bush
1600 Pennsylvania Ave NW
Washington, DC 20500
Extra props for manure-encrusted farm boots lolz.
14 Dec 08 Duck Duck Goose
Was it just a solitary liberal or is Iraq’s main stream media slanted to left? Or maybe that reporter just knew a prime fool when he saw one lmao. Hats off to the man with the balls to put his shoes where his mouth was when the decade’s top war criminal came to town.
13 Dec 08 Bastard Republican Vampires
Michael Moore has a few words for those Republican Senators who went after the UAW:
We have a little more than a month to go of this madness. As I sit here in Michigan today, tens of thousands of hard working, honest, decent Americans do not believe they can make it to January 20th. The malaise here is astounding. Why must they suffer because of the mistakes of every CEO from Roger Smith to Rick Wagoner? Make management and the boards of directors and the shareholders pay for this.
Of course that is heresy to the 31 Republicans who decided to blame the poor, miserable autoworkers for this mess. And our wonderful media complied with their spin on the morning news shows: “UAW Refuses to Give Concessions Killing Auto Bailout Bill.” In fact the UAW has given concession after concession, reduced their benefits, agreed to get rid of the Jobs Bank and agreed to make it harder for their retirees to live from week to week. Yes! That’s what we need to do! It’s the Jobs Bank and the old people who have led the nation to economic ruin!
But even doing all that wasn’t enough to satisfy the bastard Republicans. These Senate vampires wanted blood. Blue collar blood. You see, they weren’t opposed to the bailout because they believed in the free market or capitalism. No, they were opposed to the bailout because they’re opposed to workers making a decent wage. In their rage, they were driven to destroy the backbone of this country, not because the UAW hadn’t given back enough, but because the UAW hadn’t given up.
12 Dec 08 Republican Economy Killers
Republicans in the Senate seem intent on creating a depression, perhaps so they can attempt to blame it on Obama at some point in the future. There’s a lot of confusion in the country over whether we should or should not keep American auto manufacturers in business. Instead of giving any recognition to the true issue, the lack of credit for new car buyers, the Republicans are fear-mongering. They say the car companies are bad and the unions are bad, when in fact the banks that got bailed out still aren’t making loans.
The real issue is whether we want to see three million jobs go into the toilet for Christmas. And after that? More millions of jobs and uncounted small businesses who are patronized by those auto industry workers would disappear within a very few months. All the neighborhood stores and restaurants will fall like dominos right behind them.
At this time the stock market has been open nearly two hours and is trending steadily down. How low can it go? We may be about to find out.
UPDATE: George W. Bush may be a fool, but he’s not as foolish as those would be union-busting Republican Senators. The White House announced this morning that cash from the $700 billion bailout fund will be provided to GM and Chrysler. The stock market responded positively and may close up for the day.
10 Dec 08 Palin’s Panties
No Walmart three-packs for Sarah, no sir lol. Donors to the Republican National Committee spent $148 for the Victoria’s Secret kind. I’m sure Republican men everywhere are glad to know exactly what she was wearing up there on that podium. It gives those posters of her hanging on their walls a little extra sparkle.
10 Dec 08 What Kind of Idiot
Most politicians are smart enough to use euphemisms and buffers when they hold their hand out for a contribution or favor. While I’m shocked at the Governor of Illinois for being stupid, I’m not at all surprised that he wanted something tangible in return for appointing a US Senator. It’s the arrogance more than the action that’s really over the top.
05 Dec 08 The 11 Lamest Blogs
When I saw the headline for this article at MSNBC I had to check to see whether I made their list. Unfortunately I’m not quite lame enough, so I won’t get any of the traffic from people so bored they’re checking out MSNBC’s dumb article. I mean really, some of those blogs they listed haven’t been updated in years. They should at least link to lame blogs where the author is actually making an effort. As usual, I found a pony in the manure pile. Who knew Kim Kardashian’s booty had a blog? Check it out:

A classic Christmas story from Alfred Hitchcock’s TV show, featuring Barry Fitzgerald as Santa Claus.
03 Dec 08 What Would Studs Do: Dec 08
Some friends have asked which investments make sense in this deflationary economy. To put it simply, not many. It’s going to get worse before it gets better, and the stock market could still be forced down significantly by liquidity pressures. Short term T-bills, under two years, and munis are almost as good as it gets.
Your best bet is the Swiss franc. As much as 20% of your nest egg should be converted to Swiss francs and put in a mattress, that will very likely out-perform any dollar-denominated investment over the next four years. The Swiss systematically bought gold and silver over the past decade and today it’s the only currency backed by more than faith. If you have the wherewithal to go to Switzerland and open a bank account you’ll be able to earn interest and invest there, that’s the best play of all.
If you’re inclined to buy metals yourself, go for 80% silver, 20% gold. If we end up in a depression-style barter economy at some point those one-ounce silver ingots will work out very nicely. For a more esoteric barter play, pick up some cases of ammunition. 9mm handgun rounds and 12 gauge 00 buckshot are commonly used all across the country. The top six deer cartridges in North America, in terms of factory ammunition sales, are the .30-06 Spfd., .270 Win., .30-30 Win., .308 Win., .243 Win., and 7mm Rem. Mag. Check with your local dealer to find out which of these rounds are most popular with deer hunters in your area.

It’s time to head to a city with more than eight stoplights and have some fun. There probably won’t be any new posts here until December 1st. See you then!
