Congrats Washington, Now Everyone Wants A Bailout!

Larry Flynt (the publisher of Hustler) and Steve Francis (the creator of Girls Gone Wild) are asking Washington for a 5 Billion dollar bailout for the porn industry. Awesome. They claim that the slumping economy has reduced DVD sales. I'm sorry dirt bags, people aren't buying your DVDs because they can get all the porn they want online, on demand and they can do so privately. The music industry had to adapt, so should porn. Steve Francis should not be granted this kind of publicity or have an audience with congress after seducing underage girls with drugs and alcohol. I mean, if you have all that money, don't you think you might hold yourself to a higher standard. This guy shoots crappy video of girls dancing and masterbating. It doesn't even qualify as a porno because typically they at least have some plot. Pornos have characters like the candy striper chick and the pizza delivery guy. Even magazines tell you a story or let you know what the girls likes or something. Girls Gone Wild sucks. Washington needs to put an end to the parade of industries seeking bailouts. Handing money to failed businesses is not capitalism and its not communism or socialism either, its stupidity. Larry Flynt should be happy he made as much money as he has. If you want to help out of work porn stars, start an escort service. Its not like the industry has a plan. There is only so much you can do with the penis and vagina and I'm pretty sure that all the possibilities have been explored and filmed. So why do we need to spend 5 billion dollars to hear a girl fake an orgasm. Not to mention porn is cruel. At first you have a girl sitting by herself. She starts to play downstairs and she becomes your girlfriend for a minute. Then some cable guy comes in and fucks your girlfriend.

Who Throws A Shoe?

I am no longer angry, so I haven't been writing.  Today I don't write out of anger.  Today I write because I watched George Bush dodge a shoe.  When I heard about it I had this vision of a shoe flying slow motion towards W.  But no, this guy fired this thing at him pretty fast.  I'm impressed with how quickly he moved and popped back up.  Pretty athletic that W.  Evidently throwing shoes is a form of great disrespect in Iraq.  All I know is if someone throws a shoe at me he is gonna eat a brick rocket in return.  From now on all conferences should be held Japanese style...no shoes!  Break out your stank ass feet and breathe the goodness.  I'll tell you one thing, I'd rather get hit with one of my shoes than get a nose full of one of my socks.  My feet smell like a fat girls thong after eating a clove of garlic and a cardio workout.  You want a form of torture, people will tell you everything after getting a face full of that.  Did this guy have anything else to throw?  Maybe a watch?  Cell?  Stress ball?  Did this guy spend time throwing his shoes at a target?  I think I am going to create an infomercial workout video in which ninjas demonstrate proper shoe tossing techniques.  Personally I'd like to see a shoe toss that curves upwards to kick a guy in the junk from a distance.  I am a black belt in the art of the low blow.  I bust balls.

Automakers Failed to Get 25 Billion, Now They Want 36 Billion!

I love how government works. When the bail out bill failed, it was restructured with a bunch of lame incentives and renamed the "rescue" bill. Of course, the new bill which was significantly worse passed. Now US automakers hope to cash in on the same move. Originally automakers flew in on private jets and presented a half assed business plan that just asked for a 25 billion dollars with little explanation of how that money would be spent. Congress turned them away and told them to come back with a plan detailing the use of the funds. Now the automakers have returned to Washington without their private jets but want 36 billion dollars. What a joke. Ford already said that they can survive without a loan as long as the recession doesn't last more than 3 years. So Ford seems OK. That leaves the geniuses at GM looking like the real morons they are. GM used to be the symbol for American quality. Now they are the laughing stock of the auto industry. Instead of pushing new cars with potential such as the Chevy Volt and Camaro, GM has tried to push massive Hybrid versions of gas guzzling trucks like the Escalade and a new convertible version of the $100,000 Hummer. Great business plan guys. GM deserves to suffer. Why should the American people foot the bill for GM's pajama party with oil companies? While I disagreed with the bail out bill, bailing out the auto companies is even worse. If America is supposed to stand for capitalism than giving handouts to failed businesses is counter productive. Let a new enterpreneur start a new company with a business model appropriate for the challenges that lie ahead. Until I see a Hybrid Camaro or can buy (not lease) a Volt, GM can go ahead and close up shop. Somebody build a freaking sporty hybrid please! Even if Toyota would just make one that looked cool I'd be all over it. For now I'm buying an electric scooter and putting turn signals on it. Either that or my left middle finger pointing left signals a left turn. My left middle finger pointing straight up means I'm turing right, in addition to telling whoever is in back of me to F-off.

Admitting When You are Wrong

I had a great discussion on Thanksgiving with an economist regarding the recent market crash and rescue bill.  Originally I had assumed that because of the massive influx of new money that inflation was going to skyrocket.  What I did not count on was that the rest of the world was so heavily invested in the United States that when we crashed so did they.  It really demonstrates that we have created at least a form of a world economy.  While the people and goods don't move freely, money can.  The credit crisis resulted because of a stop in this flow of money.  It didn't just cripple Wall Street, it crashed markets everywhere.  I had originally blamed Bush for doing this intentionally to raise the price of oil.  In the long run prices will go back up, but for now the slow down in the economy has been enough to lower demand for oil.  Now if we can get some of those alternative fuels and fuel efficient technologies growing we can put an even bigger dent in that demand.  Here is an idea for anyone working for an American car company, write a business plan on how you are going to create the fuel efficient cars we want and you will get your government handout.  If Tesla can build a roadster that can go 0-60 in 3.9 running on computer batteries, American car manufacturers can build one that can go 0-60 in 6 seconds and look like an attractive car (not like the bitch ass Toyotas or Hondas).  At least Ford has the Escape.  The Escalade Hybrid doesn't count GM.  That thing still eats more gas than a regular car.  Stop playing social games with oil companies and develop the cars we want.  Stop adding more horsepower to every engine and add fuel economy.  For years car companies have been able to harness more and more power from a drop of fuel, but instead of using this to increase efficiency, now we have 4 cylinder cars with over 200 horsepower.  If you take away the horsepower and increase the fuel economy the same car could probably get 60 miles to a gallon with a little over 100 horsepower.  GM needs to admit they were wrong for scraping EV-1 electric car programs in favor of snuggling up with Hummer a decade ago.  Where is the Volt?  GM is going to go bankrupt before you ever release it.  Thanks for not pushing the Camaro to market either.  GM has to be the slowest changing corporation in the world.  The Challenger is out and the new Mustang has been out for a couple of years.  GM keeps putting the Camaro in movies and giving them away to celebrities (Hamels got one after the World Series).  How about getting the car to the consumer you morons.  I kind of hope GM fails.  I say this because it will open up the market for a new American car manufacturer that will take us into the future rather than hold us in the past.  Here is an idea guys, make a hybrid Camaro.  I will buy that.  How about Ford?  Can you guys make a hybrid Mustang Convertible?  Until the car companies come up with some plans like these, not one cent of tax payer money should be wasted on these corporate relics.

 

America Demands Change

The 2008 vote is over and the American people have spoken loud and clear. We need change. I was impressed by John McCain's speech. The real John McCain returned and I am happy about that because he is an important figure in American politics. But America has been going the wrong way for a long time and we needed to change course. We cannot continue to fight two wars while big corporations ship jobs overseas. Our economy was in recession before the financial crisis, but no one would admit it. I predicted the market would crash as early as March. Maybe the red states haven't felt the pinch, but my home town of Philadelphia has seen a decline of nearly 10%. Other big cities feel the same pain. While farmers might not think these problems affect them, who do they think uses the products they produce? America must restore the middle class. This election wasn't about handouts to lazy people, this election was about rewarding those who go to work for 40 hours rather than collecting on investments that produce profits by cutting domestic jobs. This election is a challenge to the oil companies that they will not rule the people forever using money and fear. This election is a challenge to health care providers that would abandon those who need coverage the most. Not all people who have preconditions can help it. Cancer isn't something that people wish for. If the government is going to support nuclear energy, it also must support health care for those who will suffer from it. George Bush is the worst president of our century. 2 recessions, 2 wars and a failed economy lead to Obama's election. There was nothing McCain could have done not to mention details have been surfacing that Palin didn't know Africa was a continent! How in the world could we have had someone so ignorant near such a position of power? Well, America voted and Obama won. This isn't because Obama was black, it was because he was the best man for the job regardless of color. Congratulations to Obama and to America.

Privacy Laws Don't Apply to Criminals

Once again I will rant about the Dupont family because it is my right. This family's company (Dupont) has polluted Delaware so much that it is a massive cancer cluster. Yet the family itself would hide behind privacy laws so that no one knows what is going on. If anyone brings the truth to light about this family and or its business dealings, in come the lawyers. If my neighbor rapes a girl, news organizations write articles to inform the public. This isn't just to destroy the individual, but to protect the community. I wrote one little article about the Dupont family and I got censored. So for all you people that don't think the media is controlled by the rich, I've given you a perfect example that you are wrong. I am one little spec on the Internet, yet these freaks already fear me enough to try to shut me up. If what I was saying was false would they do this? I think not. So yes, the Dupont family does have a bunch of inbreed freaks. Yes the Dupont company is guilty of polluting the environment. Yes the Dupont company is responsible for lobbying to ban marijuana because it threatened their product sales. Yes one of the Dupont mansions has a room wall papered with 100 dollar bills. And yes, A.I.Dupont hospital was originally started for Dupont children with birth defects because of inbreeding. If you want privacy, move to a country that doesn't support free speech. This single family is the reason I despise the "old money" in this country. As far as I am concerned, this family is criminal and privacy laws do not apply. The public has a right to know about the crimes this family and company are responsible for. The Dupont public relations department would tell you all of the advancements the company has made in science, but would deny all of the consequences that were the result. This isn't truth. This isn't freedom of speech. So anytime you watch the news or read the latest headlines, understand that there really is no truth to them. Big money speaks louder than the truth because everyone has a price that they will sell out at. I'd also like to point out that you can find white power crap all over the web, but somehow I've been censored because of one blurb about the wrong family. So just remember, the media is owned and controlled by a bunch of rich Nazi's that will use big money to protect their status. Screw the constitution, it was written on hemp paper.

Joe the Plumber, Joe the Idiot!

Have you seen this guy "Joe the plumber" that McCain and Obama spoke about during the debate. Talk about a guy who doesn't have a clue. This guy comes out and says he doesn't think that people who make more money should pay higher taxes. This wouldn't be a bad view if we had a flat tax. But we don't have flat taxes. We have a complicated tax system that allows more affluent people to use loop holes to get out of paying their share, pushing the tax burden to those who work hard for an honest living. What we do have a flat tax for is capital gains, which makes no sense at all. People who don't work at all make more money sitting on their ass paying 15% while the average American works their 40 hour+ week paying over 30% of their wages to taxes. Joe the plumber was under the belief that because the business he wanted to purchase costed $280,000 that he would be placed in a higher tax bracket under Obama. That was not true. Obama's $250,000 tax policy applies to the individual's earnings, not the business. Eventually Joe the plumber admitted that he would actually benefit from Obama's plan. But let's return to the idea that the upper class shouldn't have to pay more taxes debate. Anyone who knows anything about exponential growth can see that the upper class keeps making larger profits because they have a larger pool of money to invest. But these investments are providing profits by sending jobs overseas to increase profit margins. Middle class wages have remained stagnant, the country's population is growing and there are less jobs. By the time the average person has enough money to take advantage of exponential growth, it is time to retire. The system is flawed because the minority upper class is making more money at the expense of the majority middle class workers. If our current policies continue, there will not be a middle class anymore. Joe the plumber seems to think that he has a chance to be part of the upper class. But the math will never add up. What he would consider wealthy doesn't equal a percentage point to the upper class. Bill Gates is loaded, but he still doesn't have "old money". No, Bill Gates isn't in the same league as affluent families such as the Duponts. No this family values money so much that it intermarries to keep wealth in the family. A.I. Dupont hospital was built for all of the inbred Dupont children, not for charity as their public relations would tell you. These people are sick. They do anything for money. It is this upper 1/2% of our country ruining things for everyone else. The Duponts have created chemicals such as Teflon, that will pollute our environment for a lifetime. Chances are that everyone who reads this has some Teflon in them because it has polluted our water supply. Yet appropriate and proportionate penalties have not been imposed on Dupont. No amount of cancer or retarded children will stop this family's greed. So no Joe the plumber, I don't agree that these people should pay the same amount as me. These people should be held accountable for their actions. If we aren't allowed to just wipe them out and take their money, they should at least be taxed out their ass. F the Duponts and everything they stand for. F ignorant people like Joe the plumber that don't have a clue what is going on. Now the Republicans are talking about having Joe at their rallies. Great. Cheer the working man that is too stupid to understand that tax breaks going to huge companies screws the middle class. I don't support raising taxes to provide for lazy people. I'm not all about hand outs. But I'm also not into paying extra taxes to "rescue" big businesses from self inflicted stupidity. Joe, get a clue. McCain's plan might as well be the same as Reagan's or Bush's. Giving tax breaks to big business equals trickle down. Trickle down equals executives taking luxurious vacations and writing it off as expenses while the average guy gets nothing. Tax breaks should be given to the middle class, not the rich. So Joe, stop listening to propaganda and do the math yourself. You are middle class, why would you support the rich? In addition, I used to have a lot of respect for John McCain. But he has lost touch with the people who originally supported him. In an effort to gain more support from his own party, John McCain sacrificed what used to set him apart. So now he supports policies that he knows are wrong, just because he knows this is his last chance. At least Colin Powell had enough sense to distance himself from policies like W's. I have all the respect in the world for John McCain. He is a hero. But his current direction is flawed. His campaign is exclusively negative. He doesn't even try to put out ads oriented to his policies. Joe the plumber represents the ignorance and dishonesty of this campaign. Oh, Joe also hasn't payed his taxes. Great guy to put on a pedestal morons.

Note: After I wrote this I found out Joe isn't even a licensed plumber and has never so much as completed an apprenticeship. Toledo Ohio and surrounding communities require plumbers to be licensed. So Joe not only is dodging taxes, he is operating illegally as well. Hey Joe, now I hope you get taxed so far up your ass that you can taste the ink on the 1040. Screw off you publicity seeking meathead.
