Peeling political onions, layer by layer

Donning my waist boots once again to wade into the murky, ever rising and thickening shit of the Mainstream Media (MSM).

I have noticed the hostile treatments of Republicans who voted down the Bailout America bill by commentators who use to be nice and objective. I have known this to happen before. This is exactly the mean spirited way the “Leave No Child Behind Act” was treated by the MSM and they whipped up a following still fighting for its demise. It was the same way the “Civil Rights Act” was received by the MSM and the “Martin Luther King Holiday Act” and I can only speculate to “Anti-Lynching Laws”. In reference to the MLK holiday act, we have been told how the good Sen. McCain got caught up in the MSM spin; peeling the political onion, if you will.

MSM is trying to do a tar and feather deal with the Republicans who voted down the bill but, as always, the Republicans have always been a sophisticated group who could hold their own. They can not be manipulated as can the Democrats with the added bonuses of knowing how to think critically and how to dress themselves to appear in public, re: Barney Frank, (If there’s one thing many homosexuals know is how to dress women and themselves).

There was a banker on a program this afternoon saying a borrower in good standing, to this very day, has no problems borrowing money from a bank that has ethical and sound economic standards.

-Morning, John.
-Good morning to you, Albert. I see you want to borrow money to fill up your ATM machine again. Well, Albert, the times they are a’changin’.
-What does that mean?
-It means those worthless mortgages you sold to me a few months ago will no longer hold up under a loan against them.
-But what about my ATM customers?? What about my credit card holders??
-What about them, Albert? What about your customers? You and your shareholders are not nice people. How were your customers to know your assets were inflated so they could have gone to another bank?
-They’ll….they’ll suffer. You wouldn’t do this to me now, John! You wouldn’t! You can’t!! Please!!!
- I recall it was your nephew’s company that inflated the mortgage prices and his father kept giving you good bond ratings and you, John, you, knowing the prices were inflated all the while and still you OK’ed the loans. Many times with little or no collateral. Smart, Albert, very smart.
- You knew that, too, John! You can’t put that all on me! You knew what we were doing! It made you a wealthy man. Look at your assets now!
-That’s because I had to bundle up your worthless mortgages and pass them along as fast as I could. No more, John. Can’t loan you any more money. As they say in the hood, the chickens have come home to roost.
-What’ll I do? What’ll I do, tell me!! I’m ruined!
-Funny you should ask me that. Just so happens I have some papers here I want you to sign.
-Papers to give me the loan? I knew you were only kidding me when you told me I could not get a loan. I’ll accept the joke. I forgive you. You had me going for awhile.
-Papers to buy your bank.
-Buy my bank??? Are you crazy, man??
-With what I know about your banking practices, it’s either sell or cell. Sign here.

As always,
BB
P.S. All employees and future employees should check our their employer’s credit ratings and be suspicious of their bond ratings. Serious!
