I’ve long believed that the economic situation in this country hasn’t been right for some time. Yes, I know the Bush administration continually says it’s strong and that everything is great. But I live outside of the bubble in which they live. I see, every day, the people of this country. I witness the disgruntled attitudes and the lack of interest. I determined long ago that we were still in a recession but we refused to admit it. Yes America, you are in denial!

Yesterday’s 311 point plunge in the Dow Jones is a reality check. Sure, technically, it could be massive profit-taking in an over bought market. However, I think more the fundamentals are at play here. We’ve got a crumbling housing market and that whole sub-prime lending thing is a house of cards. Remember when Donald Trump’s empire came crashing down twenty years ago? Well, that’s what’s happening here. We’ve got too much built up on nothing.

Holy shit do I love seeing the number 666. Not only does it instill fear in the hearts of mindless idiots who subscribe to organized superstition, but it’s such a cool number! Ah, the endless numerological possibilities. Anyway, today I noticed that the NASDAQ was down $6.66 so I thought I’d capture the moment.

It’s kind of funny how all these god-freaks are kicking the bucket lately. I’m sure their loved ones all feel that it’s “god’s plan” or “god’s will”. It just makes me chuckle.

All the faith and prayer in the world couldn’t save Tammy Faye Messner from lung cancer…

Since deaths (especially of religious idiots) seems to come in threes, I wonder who will be next.

It only took five hours for fearless leader to let his boy Scooter off the hook. Ok, so, he outed a CIA operative, was found guilty in a federal court, but, ya know, well, he’s suffered enough. The only possible reason that fearless leader would feel that way about Scooter (and commute his sentence) is because he wasn’t the real source of the leak. It stands to reason, and by the administration’s actions sort of affirms that Scooter merely took the fall for Karl.

Here’s my message to Mr. Libby:

Scooter, if you were uninvolved and took the fall for the crooks in office, you’re an idiot. These guys don’t give two shits about you. Hope it was worth it.

I found this today. It’s old, but funny. The Conservative Voice is always good for a laugh.
