I Want Some Tarp

Paddy Wallbouncer — Fri, 23 Jan 2009 23:50:02 +0000

I want some tarp video. If you didn’t already know, Tarp stands for Troubled Assets Relief Program. It was about 750 billion dollars. The Bush administration spent half of it and left the other half for the Obama Administration. It will be interesting to see the results. The song is certainly spot on.

Bush Shoe Throw Grave Insult

Duck. Duck. Bush.

Bush Shoe Throw Grave Insult? If you haven’t been following the news lately, there was a press conference in Iraq. The secret service makes sure the attendees are completely free of any kind of conventional weapons. But that doesn’t include shoes. So an Iraq national took off his shoes and started hurling them at the lame duck President. So what now? Will future press conferences require participants to remove their shoes? -And would they catch the errant shoe anyway? Maybe everybody should just walk around naked with a chip in their ear.

Does anyone find this a little silly? Most major media outlets are reporting that, in the Arab World, throwing a shoe is a “grave insult.” What does that mean? If he threw his laptop PDA, phone, balled up socks, or anything else, it is less of an insult in the Arab world? –or any world for that matter? I guess he could have thrown rice. Then he might have just looked like a confused wedding crasher.

Daley, Blagojevich, Obama Chain of Command

Hail, Hail, the Gangs all Here

Daley, Blagojevich, Obama Chain of Command. With controversy surrounding the Illinois Governors office, many have called for Blagojevich’s head. We reviewed the complaint but got bored.at about page six of the 76 page report. Why? It reads like a list of run of the mill everyday things politicians and power mongers do.

Who doesn’t award friends with contracts when they do nice things for them? Blagojevich’s main problem seems to be that he has run out of friends. He wants to take controversial stands with the Illinois legislature. Evidence of this exists in his recent closing of some historical sites and parks across Illinois in an effort to balance the budget. The claims of impropriety seem more like a lashing out of the opposition, than proof of bona fide criminal intent.

The evidence in the wiretaps are already suspect to our mind. People say everything and mean nothing. If there is a group in the species most adherent to this observation, it is the group that flap their jaws more often than most: those involved in political office. How could anyone believe these charges are more than political daggers wielded at the guy that everybody currently loves to hate?

Calling for resignations? It seems that every major news media organization, every politico, hell even the President Elect Barack Obama, or who I like to call “America’s most famous first generation American” called for his resignation. Indeed Obama can say with clear conscious that no one from his office was involved in any wrong doing because they know there was no wrong doing in the first place. Political posturing. Maybe it is supposed to show decisiveness. We think it demonstrates unfairness. Blagojevich thought it was a joke when they came to take him away in handcuffs. And it was, but unfortunately it was at his, and the People of Illinois’ expense.

Here is a copy of the complaint in .pdf (Adobe Reader) form. See if you can get any more out of it than we did. (Left click the link and choose “save as” to your desktop.)

All you need to do is see the 1996 movie The People vs. Larry Flynt where Woody Harrelson plays Hustler Magazines Boss Larry Claxton Flynt Jr. and you’ll understand why Larry is probably hands down one of the best examples of a true fit for an all time futonponcho award. Most people know that Larry offered Ashley Alexandra Dupre one million dollars to appear in his magazine, but get this: Playgirl “Mangazine” is offering one million dollars to Elliot Spitzer to pose for them. Who says Larry doesn’t still have what it takes to be a first mover.Playgirl, playing on the fact that Elliot will likely need some big cash in his war chest, posted an open appeal on the playgirlmag blog website , here’s an excerpt
