Government, Enron style
Taibbi has an excellent piece on how Obama is lying when he covers up for the banks. It’s worth reading the whole thing, but here’s the conclusion: But by taking a dive on fraud, and orchestrating mass cover-ups like the coming foreclosure settlement fiasco, what they’re doing instead is signaling to the world that not only are our financial markets corrupt, but our government is broken as well. The problem with companies like Lehman and Enron is that their executives [...]

Accidents will happen
When a gun is involved, even minor accidents can kill people. And that’s the thing about guns, right? Someone else’s slip of the hand, carelessness or anger can result in the death of another human being. It doesn’t seem like it should be so controversial to have more common-sense rules in place. Unfortunately, the NRA believes that any rules are an affront to reason and they’ve bought enough politicians to block them. I don’t know what it’s like in rural [...]

Grumble, grumble
Last night, I fried my ergo keyboard by spilling a glass of water on it. (Yes, I did take it apart and tried to dry it. No dice.) So not only did I have to order a new ergonomic keyboard, I had to go pick up a $10 cheapie this morning so I can continue to work. And let me tell you: It’s hard to use a regular keyboard when you’re used to the ergonomic kind. I keep hitting the [...]

How companies stole worker pensions
Via Alternet, this excerpt from Retirement Heist: How Companies Plunder and Profit From the Nest Eggs of Americans Workers, by Ellen E. Schultz: In December 2010, General Electric held its Annual Outlook Investor Meeting at Rockefeller Center in New York City. At the meeting, chief executive Jeffrey Immelt stood on the Saturday Night Live stage and gave the gathered analysts and shareholders a rundown on the global conglomerate’s health. But in contrast to the iconic comedy show that is filmed [...]

Speaking of Newt (poor kids should clean toilets), the most troubling aspect of his ever changing philosophy of life is his conversion the Roman Catholicism. Specifically his embrace of the Jesuit doctrine. Since Inigo de Loyola established the Jesuit’s in 1534 the Order has fought against all small “r” republican (democratic) forms of government. Their oath states that “I will secretly use the poisoned cup, the strangulation cord, the steel poniard or the leaden bullet….against all heritics.” To Newt if you are a small ‘r’ republican or a liberal than you are a heritic. Which might explain why he directs all that anger toward the Left.

I say to hell with Newt! His opinion has no bearing on the reality of todays’—-or yesterdays’, for that matter—economy. The obvious irony in his logic is that it isn’t just Blacks, or Latinoes anymore. For the first time since the Great Depression we’re ALL swimming in the same bucket of shit, except, of course, folks like Newt and small-change Mitt.

Gene Marks needs a good editor — noun-verb agreement is a “good thing,” Gene.
Guess English grammar wasn’t a big thing in his world view. Not much rigor there. Which, really, is another marker of privilege.
