Thanksgiving

Thanks to rising unemployment and food prices, the Washington Post tells us, Americans on food stamps are set to pass 30 million this month for the first time ever, passing the historic high set in 2005 by Hurricane Katrina. Not exactly something for those folks to celebrate.
Webmaster's Commentary:

I am sitting here trying to figure out what to be thankful for.

Obviously I am thankful for my wife and my health.

But I am much poorer this year than last, thanks to the government. Taxes are high and services low. People I knew are dead in a war started with lies that our grandchildren are expected to make the payments on. Why should anyone be thankful for that?

Our nation hovers at the edge of ruin because the government decided to help out the poor suffering corporations by giving them tax credits to make it easier to send American jobs to other countries, forcing Americans to take lower paying jobs, thereby triggering the debt crisis. Thankful for that? I don't think so.

Then the government decides to fix the credit crisis by taking $700 billion away from the working class to give to the banks so that the banks could turn around and loan it back to us at interest. Except that it didn't work out that way; the banks (and Wall Street) just shoved the cash into their golden parachutes. Thanks a whole bunch for THAT one, assholes.

The so-called bailout now stands at $8.2 trillion (with a "t"); a staggering sum of money so large most people cannot comprehend it. It works out to about $100,000 per US Household. Plus accruing interest. No way should anyone (except the corporations getting that cash) be thankful for that.

And here we are today, Thanksgiving, with a false flag operation leading to in invasion of Pakistan in the fond hopes that with a bloody war to distract us, we won't remember how badly the US Government has screwed up this country. No doubt, our leaders(?) are betting the farm that a new world war will get the nation out of a financial mess, just as the previous two world wars did. Frankly, I don't think it will work this time. In Big Mistake I and Big Mistake II, the US was a mighty manufacturing power. This time, we are not. If the US starts WW3, we will ultimately lose.

Thankful? Hell no. Nobody is that much of a schmuck.

Federal Reserve Discussion

The plunge protection team was at it again

Yesterday's spectacular upswing has all the hallmarks of a classic bomb and dump. With the election over, one has to wonder of the PPT isn't playing games to line their own pockets and pad their golden parachutes. The huge uptick seen in the second half of the day just didn't make any sense, with all the economic indicators continuing negative.

Summing Up George Bush
11-11-8


Poor George Bush. All he did was lie about a disastrous war, ruin America's reputation, shred the Constitution, divide the country (quite purposely), let one of our cities drown, spy on us, turn us into torturers, stand by and exacerbate environmental calamity, double the national debt, polarize our wealth into banana republic proportions and deregulate us into the greatest economic disaster in a century.

And how do we express our gratitude? Did we impeach him? Did we bring him up on war crimes charges? Did we tar and feather him?
No, heartless ingrates that we are, we made him suffer for eight years as president of the United States, with all the isolated lack of attention that goes with that lonely job.

Bush is just plain stupid
