Church of Hell

A couple of thoughts here…

Who honestly believes that, as the press has been constantly stating, McCain actually hand selected Sarah Palin? You want me to seriously believe that this wasn’t a calculated decision by party leaders? She admits to meeting him once, maybe twice, and I can assure you he remembers her not at all.  You honestly expect me to believe that he personally chose this nearly complete stranger over any one of his cronies? You think it isn’t obvious that his handlers handed him a slip of paper with her name on it and told him how to pronounce it moments before he was supposed to announce her as his running mate?

I’m beginning to believe that the reason McCain is so stiff is because his party has so many people who are so unforgivingly gullible and closed minded they don’t even need to use a particularly talented or experienced puppeteer for his public appearances.

After a little thought and a little discussion, I had a revelation about McCain’s (handlers) Veep choice. It’s so obvious it’s almost embarrassing that I didn’t catch on sooner. Sarah Palin is what in is war, hunting and narcotics stings called a decoy. Give me a few minutes and I’ll explain why she’s nothing more than a patsy, ‘hand picked’ not as a viable candidate but merely as a way to give tired, old McCain a small vacation and a temporary reprieve from scrutiny.

A little something for my sweetie. She came up with the title and I just couldn’t resist.

Here’s a test of a new logo concept for the site. What do you think?

I just heard about the 500-plus point stock market dive. The talking-news-heads are saying this is the lowest the stock market has been in 7 years which means that the stock market is at a level that hasn’t been seen since the most devastating terrorist attack on American soil.

Our economy is collapsing almost as fast as Sarah Palin after being asked an unrehearsed foreign policy question. We’re putting our ability to pay back our national debt so far into the realm of fantasy that we’ll need J. K. Rowling to write our next Tax Plan. Instead of spending taxpayer money on health care or rebuilding middle and low class taxpaying American’s homes, we’re bailing out multi-million dollar banks who are failing after ripping off the same taxpayers who are paying for the bailout, not to mention the millions of dollars we’re giving to the failures who captained these drowing ships. If I fucked up this badly at my job, I’d get a police escort, not a 14 million dollar severance package. You can correctly assume my job isn’t as prestigious as Corrupt-Bank-CEO but I also haven’t ruined quite as many lives in shady investments. I think a person’s retirement package should be balanced by the amount of lives they destroy. I also think that we should go over these guy’s records with a fine tooth comb and see how much of their ‘hard earned’ millions has been sheltered in off-shore accounts. Assholes.

Just a sketch I did around lunch. Yes I know the nose is crap and the eyes are uneven.

I don’t know about you, but Dubbyah’s whining and screeching about his plan to bail out his friends on Wall Street…er, I mean his plan to save his war chest cash cow… crap, I mean his brilliant plan to save the miserable economy he and his cronies help to destroy sounded so much like a small, pitiful brat surrounded by huge, looming shadows and weakly crying wolf to several million deaf ears that it made me ill. He’s screaming about giving taxpayer cash to bailout rich, public-raping firms while offering no regulation, no payback to the people, nothing but a big fat check with no oversight or penalties, OR ELSE! He’s throwing out comments about how bad things will get if we don’t give them what they want, as if the whole world will collapse into some kind of freakish, debt seeded black hole that will kill you and your family, now, RIGHT NOW, if we don’t give these useless, tax evading bastards your hard earned bucks to clean up their pillaging of the US financial markets and to make sure that they get their fat, multimillion dollar rewards for ineptitude and failure (known as severance packages).

My better half pointed out something that got me to thinking. The kids’ schools have 3 different fundraisers going at once, we both do a diabetes ‘Walk for the Cure’ and the Komen breast cancer walk to fundraise for these causes while the government meanwhile is spending this huge sum of taxpayer money on goddamn Wall Street. Why isn’t the government funding the health care and schools of it’s own people and let Wall Street sponsor 5 mile walks and cookie sales to get its money? Shouldn’t the welfare of the people come first, and if the people decide they want to donate to a group of millionaires who made bad descisions, that’s their right, but not their obligation?

Driving into work today, there was a huge, shiny, black Hummer H3 taking up a lane and a half to my right. I would argue that the egotistical schmucks who still drive these things are so starved for attention they will bankrupt themselves just to be noticed. It’s kind of sad, but not so abnormal in this society.

What strikes me as pathetic is that someone actually paid extra money for vanity plates so that they could not only advertise what kind of vehicle they’re driving, but to point out to the world that they paid an ego tax to tell everyone that they’re ‘very important’. The license plate read ‘VIP H3′ which is, firstly, pretty idiotic, since the huge and distinctive H3 already announces its brand and model with ginormous, gaudy, chromesque, stick on lettering. Secondly, a person is usually given awards for excellence. Nobel Prizes go to people who excel in sciences, physics, literature, medicine and peace. A bloated salary awaits those who excel in business. If you are a talented journalist, you can strive to receive a Pulitzer. (more…)
