Hang on folks!


Why now?

Who would have ever thought that right when such a historical event is about to take place, the  bailout cloud would rear its ugly head?

Now we have Barack Obama about to be sworn in as one of the most popular incoming Presidents of The United States and his own democratic party is about to shoot him down.  How will that look if the vote authorizing the other half of the bailout money doesn't pass and he has to take the oath with defeat already preceding him?  Ugh.

I understand that the first half hasn't gone so well.  But I believe President-elect Obama has a different game book.  I know that ol' G.W. Bush didn't make everyone accountable  for that first half, but is that a good enough reason to tie Obama's hand?  Because of the way Bush handled it?


On Tim Geithner.

Probably the best person suited for the position of Treasury Secretary, and we're going to toss what's left of our economy away because of a tax situation and his housekeeper's immigration status?

Again, ugh.

Hold on to your wallets because you can best believe we haven't reached the highest peak of this roller coaster ride if all this crap gets in the way.

Hold on!

Porn Bailout ???

Alrighty then!

Now we know everyone is in on this damn act. Give me a break (or should I say a flick?).

"Girls Gone Wild's" Joe Francis and Larry Flynt the porn king, says recession has hit their business. People don't have enough money to keep their sexual appetitie stimulated, they say. Wanna bet?
So these two "Ain't no shame in my game" fools are asking Washington for $5 BILLION to bail them out. They think they should be compared to the big 3. Ha! Well, they actually may be in a little bit of trouble since there are sites now that let you watch for free. Read their story here.

I wonder what I can go to Washington with a request for? Seems to be quite a line forming up there in front of the capital. Hell, I bet they've even made a sign already, "Government Bailouts Here. Please stand behind the yellow line." I charged quite a bit on my credit cards last year and seeing that I'll have to slow that down and therefore stop stimulating my credit card companies thereby having an effect on the money they can charge me, I think that in the interest of big business, I should get a bailout to help keep all that shit going. LOL!


How about you? What the hell you need a bailout for?
