America’s propensity to control through farts

As a teacher, you should see the panic in the classroom when someone farts. The boys literally dive out of their seats and girls scatter chairs and silently form a circle around the perpetrator. In the Special Ed. Classes it usually starts a wave of competitors with some even hoisting their legs to make the delivery. There are times it is difficult for you as a teacher to gain control of the class.

And then there is the female who decides to polish her fingernails or apply a perfume. The class re-acts the same as with the fart; they scatter.

So it is, in my opinion, the world smelled America’s fart in its financial institutions and the lone perpetrator, at this time, appears to be the financial rating agencies. According to Michael Callen, Chairman and CEO of AMBAC Financial Group whom I saw on the Bloomberg Channel, there is some blame there although he does support the Paulson plan which, by the way, threw me off of his message. I am also hearing rumblings in other areas the lack of control of the sphincter muscles of people in rating agencies.

In any case, if the agents in the rating agencies manipulate ratings as does a house inspector, you could end up with a real problem of over inflation which will surely catch up with you down the road. A fart, so to speak. By the same token if you have a group manipulating the political polls, you get people smelling a fart. “It smells fishy” they may say. A fart by any other name comes to mind. If you get journalist, pundits and other elements of the mainstream media manipulating realities, there are those who smell the fart as they do with the lies of Sen. McCain and Gov. Palin and I am mindful of the farts emanating from Sen. McCain at the debates last evening. No shame! No sphincter muscle control and it’s a hygiene thing that should be taken seriously; you standing up talking to people farting. In America, it appears to be here a fart, there a fart, everywhere a fart- fart.

Our mainstream media having the metaphorical job of locating the socially un-acceptable farter is so busy manufacturing their own they are equally as useless in their contributions to our toxic air. Enter the bloggers with their unique brand of air fresheners. Metaphorically speaking, of course.

P.s. And let us not forget the creative proliferation of farts by Hannity, Limbaugh and O’Riley. (Smile)
