In the 80's Japan began buying up the US and everyone was worried. they got into a prob and sold it back. IMO, that was not a big deal. They were buying up properties and opening factories and such. It all worked out for the better, well at least that is what they have lead us to believe.
And then China came a calling! But instead of buying up properties they bought up debt. They invested heavily in the sub-prime market. They own about $1.5 trillion of American debt. Will they ever call in the debt? That isfor conspiracy theorists.
This week UAE, bought into CitiGroup to the tune of Billions! Are they trying to help the sagging dollar? Are they trying to help avert a recession in the Us and possibly the world? Your guess is as good as anyone's.
But they own Americans! They are the owners of our future. What it, the whole world goes to sh*t? will they ever call in the debt? Only God or Allah or whatever name you assign to the maker, knows. This would make for an excellent novel! Just thinking out loud!

A Dream Ticket?
For months now I have seen several articles in discussion forums and blogs and papers about the dream presidential team.
I have seen Clinton/Obama, Rudy/Huckabee, Richardson/Dodd, Mitt/Howdy Dowdy, just about every combination imaginable. But yesterday I heard one that I had not seen nor considered. A news report said that Dennis Kucinich if he were the nominee would ask Ron Paul to be his running mate.
That would be an interesting combination, a semi-socialist and a libertarian. I gave it a lot of thought and I would probably vote for this combination. Both Kucinich and Paul have foreign policy issues I like, Kucinich has social policies I like and Paul has some intersting economic policies.
IMO, they would make a good team and woulkd be good for the USA. Something to think about.

Another Missing Wife
Yet another missing wife story, but is it a national story? No it is not! At best it should be a local story covered by a local station. The same with fires, car chases, escaped prisoners and so on. These become national issues because the corporate media uses this to keep from reporting real national issues and international stories. This types of fluff are for the mentality of the American people, who have made reality TV a hit.
These types of stories along with the starlets meltdown are for entertainment value, not to inform. I now question my thinking that ALL citizens should be allowed to vote. If this is what they want from the media then maybe they do not deserve the right to vote.

Don't Taz Me Bro--Again
Have you seen the latest tazer incident? A guy was tazed because he would not sign a speeding ticket. This guy was not being threating or anything remotely violent. he was walking away from the cop.
Is it not about time to start enforcing some rules here? This is becoming a prob, but no one wants to acknowledge it. This thing is becoming the weapon of choice for cops; they seem to be getting into more trouble when they use a gun, so they have moved on to the next MACHO".
Take a good look at the cop in the vid and then look at some of the others; they all have that same moronic haircut. Almost looks like something the German stormtroopers would have had.
All these attacks are bullsh*t! People die and few seem to be held responsible. Why? just another piece of sh*t the American people allow to continue.

A Government That Works?
Lou Dobbs of CNN fame, has a TV promo for his show where he asks, "does not the people deserve a government that works"? I found it amusing. My answer is NO! They do not! Why? Because the American people are too lazy to actually give a sh*t!
They are too uninformed and will not take the time to actually educate themselves on any given issue, with the exception of emotional bullsh*t like abortion, religion, immigration, gays--come on--none of this is a necessary dialog. WAKE UP! Americans are dying and being maimed while you worry about who is having sex with who. That is NONE of your business, to begin with and is just a silly, silly way to approach government.
Education sucks, health care sucks, families that they all say they care about, are in deep sh*t thanks to business practices and rosy forecasts. I suggest you go out and talk to real people; tell the lobbyists to shut the f*ck up and get real opinions.
The government is not working, unless you are in the top 5%. The American people are just too damn lazy and ignorant to go out and demand that these paid servants actually do their jobs and represent the real America, not the high flying capitalist assclowns. The people are dying and it is a death of their own making.
Government is NOT working! Do something about it!
I am CHUQ and I mean every f*cking word of this statement!

Islamofascism
Now here is a term that I would love to see all the definitions for. I would bet that there is as many definitions as there are hairs on my butt. To me it is just a way to spread the irrational fear of Islam. They, meaning conservatives, use this form of explanation to try and equate the expansion of Islam to that of the Nazis. I can see hoe they can equate it, for it has some of the characteristics of Fascism; cult based on murderous violence, exalts death and destruction and is intolerant of opposition. They also have this distorted view of history, where that must avenge some past digression at the hands of inferior outsiders. All this sound familiar?
But reality has to sink in eventually. Islamists have no chance of world domination, no matter what tactics they employ, their chances are zero, let me say that again, THEIR CHANCES ARE ZERO!
The use of the word "Islamofascist" is just away to try and equate it with the irrational fear that was felt after 9/11. Just another use of the now famous "fear card".

The Approaching Storm
The primaries are but a few weeks away and after that we will have to decide which nominee is the best for the country. Whether to vote Dem or Repub--it really does not matter because whichever you choose will be just a continuation of the present.
As I see it, one more administration like the last several and a real political revolution will become inevitable, but it will become possible and most necessary. The middle class is taking it in the ass daily, the wealthy are given every advantage. But the larger question is, when will the American people decide enough is enough?
We have an opportunity to make a true difference for all Americans, but sadly, it will be missed! That is right, I have NO faith in the American voter. They stupid and lazy! With their choices made they have higher prices for essentials and a continuation of bullshit. I suggest that you keep ignoring the 800 lb gorilla in the room and you will make revolution inevitable.

Imus, The Comeback
Do you recall last Spring when Imus made his famous statement about the players of Rutgers Women basketball players? well he is making a comeback, is this good? well it has been said that Americans are always glad to give someone a second chance. Is that really true?
Well yes, but only for those with the money to buy their way back into the good graces of the public. So yes, Imus will make a comeback and all will be forgiven. How f*cking lovely. But why then do we hold transgressions by average people against them?
Take a guy who had one cross into illegality and then he wants to run for office, will it come back to bite him in the butt? Of course, it will. Why cannot the public forgive him for his transgression? For one he is not famous and that is it. Somehow in the merger little of the minds of the public Imus is truly sorry for what he said.
This is just sad!

Trust Musharraf
I hope all are aware of the situation unfolding in Pakistan. If not nthen move on for this post will not mean much to you.
Bush said Saturday for his ranch in Crawford, that he trusted Musharraf to hold elections and take of the military uniform. And that he was sure he would keep Pakistan on the democratic road. Then later Musharraf said that elections would go on in January. Good news, right?
Will it be as free as last election when Musharraf got 98% of the vote. Not because he is so popular, but rather he has arrested all his opposition and put them in prison. He is still arresting opposition supporters. How democratic will the election be if all that disagree with him are in prison? Of course, he has said he would step down as general of the army, only to ignore the promise later.
The president is putting all his apples in one basket. Sound familiar? A president put all the apples in one basket in Iran and how did that turn out? This is a situation that needs to be approached with a firm hand and a firm stance.

A Green Protest?
Recently in Connecticut, a Xmas tree farm was vandalized. The tops were cut out of about 100 spruce trees. Some are saying it is from environmentalist, who are upset that the land will be developed for houses.
I ask what this will do? How will the destruction of the trees benefit anyone or save anything. if the land is be be developed then I would say it is a done deal and this will prevent nothing. And how green friendly is the destruction of trees? Just what will this accomplish?
Stupidity is everywhere, its everywhere.

A Green Week
For the last week, NBC and its affiliates have been doing green programing. They have been putting on programs about the environment, carbon footprinting, etc, etc. IMO, this is a good thing but unfortunately it is not enough. After the week has past, the people will go back to being the carbon hogs they have always been. All the useful info will be forgotten, ignored or whatever they do. A week is not enough to change people's attitudes.
If these people really wanted to help make a difference they would run these types on snig-lets year round. If the education of the people into a better way to approach the environment, a week's worth of info, is not the way. It is a way for the corporations that now own the media to appear to really give a sh*t about the environment.
This is just the typical approach of corporations--appear to care while doing nothing.

Green--Schmeen!
Ok NBC has a whole week of environmental program planned. Green is Universal--catchy title huh? They give the people all kinds to tips on how to lessen their carbon footprint. from the T/stat setting, to recycling to yada, yada. It is all about what you can do to help the planet. But I have not heard that small more fuel efficient cars should be the order of the day. And I have not heard what companies need to do.
The corporations? yeah, all have a massive green campaign going on. But in reality all they are doing is telling what they may do or to change the slogan or to add green and yellow into their logo. That oughta go a long way it solving the problems.
My point is, the people are the ones that are having to make some small sacrifice, while the companies talk about and continue their profit taking. People should do their part to clean up thye planet, but why does business get a free ride. It is their marketing and their manufacturing that has cause most of the probs. so why are they off the hook?
Just wondering!

All Is Well In The World
A new poll shows that 42% of the American public think all is well in the world. Thinking....thinking.....Now either the public is really naive or they are dumb as a box of rocks! Why?
OK let us begin--Turkey is poised on Iraq Northern border to strike, Pakistan is in turmoil and they have nukes, Iran and US are facing off, Afghanistan is being lost slowly but slowly, AQ is expanded into North Africa, Burma is in chaos, Belgium is being torn apart, Balkans are really close to ignition, and the beat goes on.
Now what part of this is going well? 42% of the American people are IDIOTS! May I suggest that you stop watching "dancing with the stars" and pick up a newspaper, you morons.
I am embarrassed that I am in the same country as this pack of lazy ass wads. Being asleep at the wheel is an American trait. It is frustrating to acknowledge that the people are so damn uninformed, that it is almost comical if it were not so damn sad!
Peace--Out and Be Well!

So You Want Change?
Do you really think that you can change the direction of this country? You think that your vote will give you that new direction?
HA! HA! HA! Not a f*cking chance!
Whichever party you chose to vote for is a vote for the continuation of the scary road that the US is traveling. Nothing said or done by either party is gonna make a new difference in this country. Special interests rule the political process. The only way to break this strangle hold on the politics of this country, is to break the process. This cannot be done from the ballot box, for that is just a tool to justify the existence of the process. This is not a democratic process. If it were there would be more choices than 2. Actually it is a single choice with a different name. For both parties are different sides of the same coin.
Change can happen but it will require the voter to get off their collective asses and demand and make the change happen. But, because it will take action, the status quo will remain, few are willing to get involve or to assist in change. Sad, that a country that is so proud of its democratic past, has little chance of a democratic future.

Writers Go On Strike
Why?
The US screenwriters' union has called a strike starting next Monday to demand a fair share in royalty payments from DVDs and new media sales.
The US screenwriters' union has called a strike starting next Monday to demand a fair share in royalty payments from DVDs and new media sales.
About 12,000 members of the Writers Guild of America are being asked to cease work and set up picket lines from 0001 local time (0701 GMT).
The UAW has given its members a good f*cking, will the Writers Guild do the same? It is all about the survival of the union, not about what is best for the membership. The US labor movement is dying and the leadership is partially responsible.

Whiners Unite!
Washington bureaucrats are whining to beat the band. They are whining because they may be forced to serve in Baghdad because there is not enough volunteers. I say, F*ck 'em! The troops are sent and they may not want to go, but their country has need for them to do their job. Bureaucrats are no different! They are in service to the country and I understand their concern about dying, but the troops have the same concerns and they serve proudly. Stop being a coward! Do what you are paid to do!
Or the other option is resign and go to work at the 7/11. You guys have made lots of money in the past now it is time to put up or shut up! This is a typical bureaucrat--they want to make policy but if they have to enforce it they turn cowardly! F*ck 'em! Put the assholes on a plane today!

It Pays To Be A Capitalist
Have you heard the news about Merill-Lynch? They just reported that they lost $8 billion because of their involvement with the subprime market. Because of their losses, the CEO has resigned. His package is worth $160 million. Yes, you heard it right! he walks away from Merill-Lynch with $160 million. His decisions lost the company $8 billion! And he is rewarded with a huge separation package? Am I the only one that sees a problem there?
Let us look at it this way--say I was a foreman on an assembly line and my decision cost the company $1 million--I would be fired and loss of benefits. Where is equality in that? The worker is screwed for a mistake and a CEO is rewarded. Sorry, that is unacceptable and the sooner the worker realize just how bad he is screwed the sooner he will find a new way.

NUKES--The Clean Energy
STOP IT! There is nothing about nuke energy that is clean. While some minor case can be made about the emissions thing, but what about the by-product? What is to be done with all the plutonium by-product?
The nuke thing is being pushed by the same people that are bringing you global warming. They are not concerned with the world around them, just the continuation of their profits. For you see wind and solar power cannot bring them the obscene profits they could make on nukes. So, they will sell the ignorant public on the need for nukes as a way of controlling emission and thusly help eliminate the global warming thing.
It was a lie in the past. It is a lie now! Educate yourself! you have the power to stop this insanity, but you have to want to stop it. I fear that the American people are too lazy to act and the nuke people will get their way.
Nuke power is NOT as safe as they will lead you to believe. Get the facts! Then act to protect the environment, after all it has pretty good to you.

I do not know if you realize just how much money was made off of the vid game Halo3. Millions upon millions! That is a bit scary when a game made more money than movies did for the first week.
IMO, there should be a law that states that once a person turns 21 the game control should be put down and you read a BOOK!
The mental midgets that are now inhabiting the world are a scary lot. One day they will be leading the country and the world. Think about it!

Refugees? Are They?
The recent fires in S. Calif have created a "refugee" problem in the region. About 1 million people have been displaced because of the fires. The news outlets have spent 5 days of 24/7 coverage of wood burning. Sorry guys, I know what a fire looks like. Yes, yes, yes..it is a terrible thing, but unfortunately the world will go forward with San Diego intact or not.
Sorry, but what about the millions of Iraqi refugees that are trying to make a life in the middle of death and destruction? Why do you, the media, just mention these people in passing, for the most part? Or how about those pesky refugees in Darfur? Recall those people?
The world continues and after 5 days of total immersion in the Calif fires, I have had enough! The world is not a kind place! But there is more to it than the fires in the affluent sections of S. Calif. Could we move beyond this story?
