Revenge Of The Bull

The whole "Running of the Bulls" thing seems, at lest to me, pretty damn stupid! Angry bulls chasing you down a narrow street does not seem like fun to me.

So when someone gets himself killed while antagonizing a 1500 lb bull does not bring me to tears. What the hell do they think is going to happen when one of these "Huge" animals finally catches up to you? Dumb ass'.

At the end of this clip, you hear the man say that he was disgusted at a woman's reaction to snapping a prize picture of a man pouring his life out on this narrow street. Her glee at having snapped the morbid picture says something to all of us......We have become a SICK society!

If this man had a wife and kids, my heart goes out to them. For the man that lost his life antagonizing these huge animals...Nothing! I know it sounds harsh but it is the truth. He did this to himself!

As the saying goes...."You play with the bull, you get the horns!

Blowhard Schultz Ask's Franken: "Where's Your Balls?"

Personally, I think Ed Schultz is a big blow hard. I haven't for gotten how he attacked Hillary Clinton during the primaries. That being said, I loved how he went after Al Franken and attacked Franken for his lack of.........................."Testicular Fortitude!"

Schultz:

"Where's all the tough talk in these books you sold about what a big fat ass Rush Limbaugh is? Why don't you go call the Republicans a bunch of fat ass', and we're gonna..and it's time to get it done! The irony of this is Unbelievable

That's my Democratic Party for you!

Speaking of Balls....................:

Yeah sure! He was "only" helping the lady down the stares. Yeah right. That's it!

Women Live In Fear In Rural S.Africa.

It seems that violence against women is on the rise the world over.

I don't know what action we can take to combat this barbarity. As a man, I feel the need to "help" in whatever way I can to lend my voice to those that have none.

I have decided to dedicate time on this blog to shed some light on this epidemic. I realize I am but one man. Some ask, "What can one man do?" Alone, nothing. But if we can all join as one and speak out against the violence that our Mothers, our sisters, our nieces and daughters are being subjected to, then maybe, just maybe we can finally put an end to this violence.

Join me on my quest to bring these stories to light. Together we can save the lives of many. If we do nothing, we are only reinforcing the grip that these animals have over the women that they abuse!

Sarah Palin Killed Michael Jackson!

Did I get your attention?

The headline above sounds pretty ridiculous doesn't it? Anyone that would even suggest such a thing would of course be considered crazy. Deranged. Unbalanced. Flat out "Loco in the cabeza!"

Now what if this person were to call into a radio show and suggest that Sarah Palin had in some way been responsible for Jackson's death? You would expect that person to be ridiculed for the insanity of such a remark. Or at lest be the butt of some tasteless jokes right?

Wrong!

It seems that some actually believe that Sarah Palin put a "Hit" out on the "King of Pop!"

Seems the good Rev. Sharpton was at a loss for words. can't say I blame him. I probably would have spit out my diet coke as soon as this woman began to "let" it be known who she thought was responsible for Jackson's death.

My goodness. What next? Did you know that it was Sarah Palin that shot Steve McNair?

These are the same people that believed Obama would "save" them from ever having to pay bills again.

In case you have forgotten. I present this lovely lady to refresh your memory...........

"It was the most memorable time of my life. It was a touching moment because I never thought this day would ever happen. I won't have to worry about putting gas in my car. I won't have to worry about paying my mortgage. You know, if I help him, he's gonna help me."

Can you say.........................Sheep!

Bastards!

I read Matt Taibbi's piece in this month's Rolling Stone magazine and I damn near blew a gasket! I'm so F@#$ing furious that I can't even begin to put together my thoughts on the magnitude of theft that Goldman Sach's and their comrades on Wall Street have been involved in and have gotten away with.

The Great American Bubble Machine

In Rolling Stone Issue 1082-83, Matt Taibbi takes on "the Wall Street Bubble Mafia" — investment bank Goldman Sachs. The piece has generated controversy, with Goldman Sachs firing back that Taibbi's piece is "an hysterical compilation of conspiracy theories" and a spokesman adding, "We reject the assertion that we are inflators of bubbles and profiteers in busts, and we are painfully conscious of the importance in being a force for good." Taibbi shot back: "Goldman has its alumni pushing its views from the pulpit of the U.S. Treasury, the NYSE, the World Bank, and numerous other important posts; it also has former players fronting major TV shows. They have the ear of the president if they want it." Here, now, are excerpts from Matt Taibbi's piece and video of Taibbi exploring the key issues.

Take a few minutes and read this very disturbing piece. Although I was never a fan of Taibbi's hatchet jobs on Hillary, I recognize that he is, when he wants to be, a phenomenal reporter.

From Matt Taibbi's "The Great American Bubble Machine" in Rolling Stone Issue 1082-83.

The first thing you need to know about Goldman Sachs is that it's everywhere. The world's most powerful investment bank is a great vampire squid wrapped around the face of humanity, relentlessly jamming its blood funnel into anything that smells like money.

Any attempt to construct a narrative around all the former Goldmanites in influential positions quickly becomes an absurd and pointless exercise, like trying to make a list of everything. What you need to know is the big picture: If America is circling the drain, Goldman Sachs has found a way to be that drain — an extremely unfortunate loophole in the system of Western democratic capitalism, which never foresaw that in a society governed passively by free markets and free elections, organized greed always defeats disorganized democracy.

They achieve this using the same playbook over and over again. The formula is relatively simple: Goldman positions itself in the middle of a speculative bubble, selling investments they know are crap. Then they hoover up vast sums from the middle and lower floors of society with the aid of a crippled and corrupt state that allows it to rewrite the rules in exchange for the relative pennies the bank throws at political patronage. Finally, when it all goes bust, leaving millions of ordinary citizens broke and starving, they begin the entire process over again, riding in to rescue us all by lending us back our own money at interest, selling themselves as men above greed, just a bunch of really smart guys keeping the wheels greased. They've been pulling this same stunt over and over since the 1920s — and now they're preparing to do it again, creating what may be the biggest and most audacious bubble yet.

It gets better folks....

The basic scam in the Internet Age is pretty easy even for the financially illiterate to grasp. Companies that weren't much more than pot-fueled ideas scrawled on napkins by up-too-late bong-smokers were taken public via IPOs, hyped in the media and sold to the public for megamillions. It was as if banks like Goldman were wrapping ribbons around watermelons, tossing them out 50-story windows and opening the phones for bids. In this game you were a winner only if you took your money out before the melon hit the pavement.

It sounds obvious now, but what the average investor didn't know at the time was that the banks had changed the rules of the game, making the deals look better than they actually were. They did this by setting up what was, in reality, a two-tiered investment system — one for the insiders who knew the real numbers, and another for the lay investor who was invited to chase soaring prices the banks themselves knew were irrational. While Goldman's later pattern would be to capitalize on changes in the regulatory environment, its key innovation in the Internet years was to abandon its own industry's standards of quality control.

Goldman's role in the sweeping global disaster that was the housing bubble is not hard to trace. Here again, the basic trick was a decline in underwriting standards, although in this case the standards weren't in IPOs but in mortgages. By now almost everyone knows that for decades mortgage dealers insisted that home buyers be able to produce a down payment of 10 percent or more, show a steady income and good credit rating, and possess a real first and last name. Then, at the dawn of the new millennium, they suddenly threw all that shit out the window and started writing mortgages on the backs of napkins to cocktail waitresses and ex-cons carrying five bucks and a Snickers bar.

And what caused the huge spike in oil prices? Take a wild guess. Obviously Goldman had help — there were other players in the physical-commodities market — but the root cause had almost everything to do with the behavior of a few powerful actors determined to turn the once-solid market into a speculative casino. Goldman did it by persuading pension funds and other large institutional investors to invest in oil futures — agreeing to buy oil at a certain price on a fixed date. The push transformed oil from a physical commodity, rigidly subject to supply and demand, into something to bet on, like a stock. Between 2003 and 2008, the amount of speculative money in commodities grew from $13 billion to $317 billion, an increase of 2,300 percent. By 2008, a barrel of oil was traded 27 times, on average, before it was actually delivered and consumed.

By the way. Guess who financially benefits the most from donations bundled by these Wall-Street bastards?

That's right children...............OBAMA and the Democratic party! So much for the 1-5 dollar donations Obama claimed to have gotten. "I will not take Lobbyist money." remember that line of bullshit?

Poor Sheeple. You must be feeling like a bit like "Little Red Riding Hood" right about now.

We warned you!
