Freddie & Fannie, Sittin' in a Tree. And then they F*CKING FELL

Yeah I know, I’m always late to the party, aren’t I? Whatever man, I have a real job – this is just a hobby that I do for myself (what with such few visitors!)

Anyway, by now we’ve all heard the news, right? The government is going to be bailing out Freddie Mac & Fannie Mae. How awesome is that? Well if you’re high up the corporate ladder, it’s all pretty cool, I suppose. You get millions, a cushy severance package, while all the poorer people get… well, all of their investment money wiped out, and probably lose their job as those companies cut jobs to cut losses (instead of cutting the salaries & bonuses & said severance packages of loser leadership persons).

See? This is what “free market,” unregulated business gets you, people: hell. Yeah that’s right, because the gov’t has to step in and save it from sinking, otherwise… the whole system falls apart, right? So… we don’t regulate the businesses, make sure they’re playing by rules – and following them! – and then when the greedy bastards at the top decide to f*ck it all up, we still have to step in and bail them out. On OUR dime.

All of the pain, none of the profits. This is what your Republican overlords have you voting for, people. It’s free play time for the rich. Get paid to sink other people’s hard-earned money. And when you do a sh!tty job, you get paid some more, and probably another high-paying job somewhere else ruining middle-America’s lives.

So, yeah. Government deregulation at work. Still want to play that game for four more years?

What? What do you mean yes? Who cares if gays get married? Give me a break! It’s not harming YOU, is it? But this is. Morals? You call those morals? Oh get over it, already. If nothing else, you ought to support their rights in order to protect yours. Look: if a couple of gay people get married, you’re not going to be a) without a job and a retirement, or b) suddenly turn gay yourself or know someone who does. BUT, if you let these guys continue to tear apart our economy and send our troops to fight illegitimate wars, you might very well be out of a job, and your family members – who are military – might just end up dead or wounded. For all eternity.

What?! No it really is an illegitimate war. Really. No it had nothing to do with terrorism, man!

Dammit, you guys… what’ll it take?
