Patriot's Day
I thought this holiday commemorated the Battles of Lexington and Concord and we celebrated it in April. Oh well, better late than never. If anybody wants to get me a present, my wig size is 8, I'll drink anything you can pour into a flagon and I could use a new horse since my last one was SHOT FROM UNDER ME! Yeah, you heard me right - then I was shot three times and bayoneted repeatedly until my gentleman's gentleman finally got off his fucking ass, did his job and jumped in the way of Corn-fucking-walis' hatchet men. Good help is so hard to find. Fuck me!

Everytime your head pops up you have to remind us that you're some sort of a war hero. When are you going to come down off your high horse?
This means that the Dems are on there heals.
I really don't get politics. The things they go after are bullshit and only strengthen there own base. Those people will vote there party no matter what.
Hell there where people in Chicago that voted for that nut job Alan Keyes.
I want to know who is going after the executives of corporate America fleecing America. This bullshit about share holder value is starting to show its ugly head. It has nothing to do with share holder value and everything to do with a few executive meeting quarterly goals for big bonuses and destroying a company’s long term health. Executives lay off 20% of the good jobs in a company. Destroy the long term intellectual value of that company and get a 5% of the 20% they saved the company. One guy just made 10 million to cut 40 million from the budget for having a great operational budget quarter. A year from now the company is going down the tubes with out being able to compete. They no longer have the staff to move forward and can’t approve the budget. The guy gets fired but still walks away with a golden parachute and the money he stole before.
They need to do something about any company that accepts public funds. Cap there salaries to what ever the highs level GS people make, no one should make more than the President of USA anyway. Then put there bonuses at a 10, 15 and 20 year goals, or at least any kind of big pay off. Maybe yearly bonuses of no more than 10 % of salary and then it has to be company wide.
I am not feeling very good about where corporate America is taking us. It seems that every large market fleeces the public, pays a few individuals a ton of money and then asks those people the just robbed to bail them out of the mess they put themselves in.
Executives in Oil pay themselves out a 40 billion dollars in bonus one year and then ask for government money to upgrade there refinery facilities. The reason is they don’t have enough money? Or how the hell did oil be come the only commodity to be unregulated?
We all are very aware of the past Savings and Loans debacle. Now have a train wreck of the Mortgage industry. Which by the way worked fine from the 1930’s until the late 1990’s. Then some one thought they were clever on how to pump up short term value to sacrifice long term strength. My guess is they even said that will be someone else’s problem in those meetings.
Energy, Enron. Nuff said.
What these tricksters do is worse than street crime and effects more people negatively. We need Teddy Roosevelt and his trust buster mentality and we need it in a bad way.
Do we have any one in politics capable of standing up to the wide spread corruption and elitist mentality? Don’t know but we need some one with a big set of stones to start kicking some white collar ass.
Whoops meant to put this under Kiss Like Pig...Meat Head strikes again... Stupid is as Stupid does... I even have a Tshirt that says just that...
