Interesting Times

ACORN being demonized by the right. Voter purging being demonized by the left. This is going to get ugly ugly ugly. Trillions of dollars lost in the stock market crash. A black man is the Democratic presidential candidate. A woman is the Republican vice presidential candidate. Trillions of dollars have been lost as the stock market crashes. 180 trillion in derivatives debt. 62 trillion in credit default swaps debt. The planet does not have that much money! That's right . . .the planet!! The world bank says we currently have around 50 trillion in USD. Some say that we have an infinite amount because, money is an idea and not based on actual standards. Our government is considering nationalizing the banking industry. Wow!! Interesting times! This is incredible! We are living in the most interest . . .Uh oh. I forgot. . . .living in interesting times is not a good thing. It's an ancient Chinese curse.

Another possible DaG scenario:

Maybe it won't be the left that take to the streets on Nov. 5th . . . judging by the level of hate speech we've been hearing from McCain/Palin rallies. It seems the Americans most easily whipped into a frenzy are the supporters of the Republican ticket. It's not that big of a stretch to assume that should Obama win, these very angry and vocal people will take to the streets. Many of these people are pick up truck with a gun rack, rebel flag waving, Nascar fan racists who are not real happy with the prospect of a black man living in the white house.

Backed by Republican election officials challenging voter legitimacy and Republican paid lawyers ready to file "voter fraud" law suits, disgruntled McCain/Palin supporters seem to me to be more likely to violently protest this election. The government response will differ slightly. Area's of cities with be sectioned off allowing the angry mobs to wreak havoc. These protesters won't be directly confronted by our military but, parameters will be established and as long as the mobs remain loyal to the will of the republican party they will remain unchecked.

It's scatter shooting time! It's scatter shooting time! (to the tune of "Howdy Doody time")

CHARLOTTE, N.C. - The Federal Reserve on Wednesday agreed to provide insurance giant American International Group Inc. with a loan of up to $37.8 billion, on top of the $85 billion made to the troubled company last month.
Excuse me? This must be a joke right? The same AIG that just got caught spending $440,000 of their first loan on a California vacation for their executives. AIG needs a new acronym. How about . . . PIG?!

WASHINGTON - The Federal Reserve, acting in coordination with other global central banking authorities, cut a key U.S. interest rate by half a percentage point Wednesday to steady a teetering economy.
Isn't bad enough that we are facing the worst economic times since the "Great depression"? Now we have to worry about everybody else's economy. Here's a beginning solution: No more money to the gigantic corporations! Effective immediately, all imports manufactured by foreign cheap labor for American companies are subject to tariffs. No more corporate breaks for shipping jobs overseas.

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - U.S. intelligence agencies conclude in a draft report that Afghanistan is in a downward spiral and they doubt whether the Kabul government can stem the Taliban's rise, The New York Times reported on Thursday.
"W" are you paying attention?! You need to be brought up on war crime charges. How can you sleep nights knowing that your A.D.D. and inability to finish what you started makes you directly responsible for the deaths of 4,000 American soldiers and nearly 1 million Iraqis? Mission accomplished my ass.

NEW YORK TIMES: Tens of thousands of eligible voters in at least six swing states have been removed from the rolls or have been blocked from registering in ways that appear to violate federal law, according to a review of state records and Social Security data by The New York Times. For example, major voter registration drives have been held this year in Colorado, which has also had a significant population increase since the last presidential election, but the state has recorded a net loss of nearly 100,000 voters from its rolls since 2004.
DaG has been warning of this at nauseum. It's nice to see more mainstream media finally looking into it. Now c'mon Associated Press, print media, ABC, NBC, PBS, CNN, and yes . . little miss fair and balanced FOX (who so far has only reported the ACORN voter fraud allegations). . . let's get with the program. Let's go Justice department, this is an illegal practice on a federal level!!!
