• President Puss-in-Suits

  I had a great idea for a post...and I forgot it.

  Instead, you're stuck with me talking about a paper I recently wrote. The assignment was to write about issues facing global leader and I chose the future of Capitalism. I took a look at ten, peer-reviewed journals for the paper and all but one of them said that the government is the primary cause of the economic downturn. The secondary causes are businesses in league with or pressured by the government to take stupid risks for political reasons. Although a lot of people "lost their shirts" over the downturn, there were also a lot of "pirates" who swooped in and looted - many of them with government connections (some of them in Congress). Two of the sources blaming the government were economists from Stanford and Harvard. The one oddball journal was written by a Marxist.

  Oh, the tertiary reason is voter apathy/compliance. Too many people vote lock-step with politicians that support larger government (on both sides of the aisle). Too many people clamor for government control whenever something goes wrong. They beg the government to save them and the government is happy to have their support and power (and some more taxes to maintain both).

  In other news, we caught 10 Russian spies and the Russian government accused us of stupidity, brutality, and racism. The reaction from our leaders? *shrug* Am I the only one who thinks we should be kicking the Russian diplomats out of our country in protest? We had a harsher reaction to Israel and that didn't involve our national security or image. Obama continues to look like an impotent fool that makes Barbara Bush look like Rambo combined with Ronald Reagan and Chuck Norris. He whines whenever someone disagrees with him or fails to lavish him with praise. When someone truly injures him or those he's supposed to protect the most he does is make a speech promising to do something.

  And what he does is sit on his thumbs. That and support his cronies. He's the Big Government of Nixon with the leadership ability of Carter. I'd call him a pussy but that'd be an insult to cats and/or vaginas - a comparison unfair to cat vaginas!

  If Chicago is proof of anything it's that you vote the bums out or they'll eat you out of house and home - and then invite their friends to stay. These parasites are never satisfied and won't detach willingly - burn 'em.
