More Greed Porn

You want a mortgage? You want to struggle against a shrinking real income to pay it off? Why not get a home equity loan and invest that money in other people's mortgages to make the money to pay off the mortgage?
Oh yeah baby. You can have them both... all night long. And then you'll have the wealth and power to live like a God, and do God-like things... like see the stars through your telescope during the daytime. Indoors.
Life is good.

Greed Porn
With all the arguments out there that porn leads to infidelity, divorce, rape, child sexual abuse, and so many other sexually-based ills... why is no one pointing out the obvious?People were worked into a financial frenzy over promises that life could only get better as time went on, and as they kept consuming, and kept buying overpriced houses, and getting loans against those houses and investing them.
Money is supposed to be something you earn in order to exchange it for goods and services. It's not something magical mined from The Future (or thin air) to feed the over-hyped appetites of Today. But of course there was a buck to be made pushing that approach on you. And there was a buck to be made separating you from your bucks.
Don't be too embarrassed. You bought in to the artificially-pumped dreams just like everyone else. And just like everyone else, you're probably swearing you'll never get that drunk and act that stupid again.
Please, people of Earth.... learn from this.

Sarah Palin, Harbinger Of The Apocalypse
As someone who has sat back and watched US Federal politics for a long time, and as someone who has prayed for the change I had hoped Barack Obama would bring, I am now officially putting my hopes for a better world in the freezer for the next few years.Why? For two reasons:
1) As one analyst after another on the tube today is saying-but-not-saying, White Woman trumps Black Man. Those Americans who simply can't stomach the notion of a black guy in the White House can make themselves feel better by voting for a white woman.
Of course, these are the same people who would have justified voting for a McCain/Mitt Romney ticket, or McCain/Pawlenty, or McCain/Sock Puppet for that matter. But because it's a woman, everyone can act like they're all progressive an' shit.
Trust me, no one with the Republican Party is going to bitch about Palin's lack of experience... a little under two years as a Governor. Sure, they bitched about Obama's "lack of experience," but of course he's playing for the wrong team.
If/when elected, Sarah Palin will be the least politically-experienced VP since Spiro Agnew.
(There's a line the Dems should play up. Just like Bush kept bashing away with "evildoers," "Spiro Agnew" should be the soundbite du jour. But do they have the imagination for it?)
...But I'm sure Sarah Palin has the naked ambition and pure inflexibility required to be a Republican Vice President. That, and a willingness to torture foreigners in order to save fetuses, or however the logic goes.
2) The Heavens Themselves have already declared Shenanigans on this upcoming election.
Or rather, The Heavens, via Diebold.

And The Obama VP Nominee Is...
So, having just checked my e-mail, I'm going to sit here and scratch my head as to whether or not it's a "good" thing or a "bad thing" as to whom Barack Obama has chosen for his Vice Presidential nominee. Better yet: I can sit here with a couple of sock puppets, shouting at each other and calling each other idiots for holding the views they hold. Or appear to hold, rather. Sock puppets, like Fox News "consultants," will dance to whatever tune they're paid to.
See? I can do hard news too. Come back after the Life Insurance and Investment Company ads for even more hard-hitting "news"!
...Oh, right. The next Vice President of The United States? The nominee is Joe Biden. I almost forgot to mention that because I was so busy talking about myself and what a great job I'm doing of uncovering "facts."
I learned that from CNN and Fox News too.
