Friday Pussy and the cliff

Now if there was sand on the table we could call her "sandy claws". :-)

Thought about posting a pussy falling off a cliff but as we all know they land on their feet unlike our economy or the end of the world. So now that the youngsters have gone home after doing nothing in congress we can all look forward to licking the grease from the turkey platter come January because that's about all we'll have left for "fixins". Amazing. Now the head of the IMF is saying that the austerity programs might have been a bit much. Gee did he start by watching the Christmas Carol backwards or something. I'm sure the Greeks would love a lump of coal in their stockings at this point. It might keep them warm this winter. But it looks like they won't even have that. Imagine being sick and begging to be let into a hospital where the cleaning staff was let go, the doctors hadn't been paid and you had to bring your own sheets and blankets. Such is the fate of Greece.

Guess the end of the world thing didn't happen because I'm still here inspite of enough trials and tribulations. But fear not I'm sure the new year will bring more mayhem complete with Youtube videos. So what will it be? An Astroid? Earthquake? Flood or typhoon? Or maybe that CERN project will create a gigantic black hole and swallow us all up whole. The decade is still young. But we are our own worst enemies. If mother nature doesn't finish us off we'll do it of our own accord.

You realize of course that our own economic situation is totally artificial. They (meaning the monkeys in congress) could if they wanted to solve the problems with a stroke of a pen. My best guess is that if this thing doesn't fall off a cliff then they'll just cancel the budget cliff and extend the talks. This was all only fabricated because those at the top can continue to rake in the bucks until something is actually done. Even then the deck is stacked in their favor. There'll be no end to derivatives or hedge funds that got us into this mess. And more money will be stolen from pensions and wages will continue to decline. After all they don't make money anymore from the sweat of our brows. It's all made from selling debt and promises or more aptly put worthless pieces of paper.

Bank fails later as usual Mr. Scrooge.
UPDATE: No bank fails this week.

I was putting some things off hoping I wouldn't have to do them. Fucking Mayan's.

Only the threat of death scares these fuckers.

They haven't armed local cop departments for shitty giggles.

So I guess the bottle of good scotch and the blonde between your legs is off now Billy?

You forget Randal cops is part of the peonage too.

I don't like scotch, got a cheap bottle of rum yesterday, the store was out of schnapps.

Schnapps is easy to make yourself if you know how.

This is all about a minority of the minority party (although that party is the majority in the House) being kow-towed to. It's all about John Boehner being afraid of losing his high position. It's all about, as you said, fat cats and what they want.

Again, for the thousandth time, it really all goes back to too many voters who are clueless about voting their own real best interest. Until they get their heads straight, the country will continue to suffer with the BS.
