Sheep to slaughter
AIG CEO Bob Benmosche told The Wall Street Journal this week that the anger and outrage over bonuses bestowed upon AIG executives after receiving a bailout with our tax dollars was just as bad as the lynch mobs and lynchings that once occurred in the deep South.
Leaving aside how heinous it is to compare people being angry about your greed to people getting murdered because of the color of their skin, and leaving aside the chutzpah it takes to whine in the face of people still struggling financially after said people bailed your incompetent ass out...
...you have to wonder how bright it is for a guy making seven figures for basically being an asshole to mention lynch mobs to the millions of Americans living paycheck to paycheck, to the millions who fell into poverty because of his idiocy, and the even more millions who believe bank executives are the moral equivalent of cousin Kevin from The Who's Tommy.

Lemon socialism
Lemon socialism--a term I heard for the first time today--refers to to those brave souls on Wall Street and within corporate America who want to stick U. S. taxpayers with their losses and keep the profits for themselves.
It's good to know that instead of the best and brightest, our job "creators" are really the gutless and the castrated.
I note this because it seems AIG--the insurance giant we bailed out with our tax dollars that could have gone instead to infrastructure or education or helping the poor--is considering joining a lawsuit seeking monetary damages by equally despicable AIG shareholders who feel the terms of our bailout were too "harsh."
The poor little fucking crybabies.
It's enough to make a fucking maggot puke.

Doing my part
E. J. Dionne wrote a piece this week in which he opines that Democrats need to do a better job of explicitly stating that Government is the solution, not the problem. (Unfortunately, this has the same problem I stated earlier this week of who exactly is going to express this message...nonetheless....)
It was Government, after all, who bailed out the economy after Wall Street fucked up beyond its own repair. It was Government, after all, who bailed out the auto industry (saving a million jobs). It was the Government stimulus, after all, which created 3 million jobs and helped the private sector to begin to hire again. It is the Government, after all, who provides teachers, soldiers, police, and firefighters for those of us who could not afford private services of such professions. It is the Government, after all, who keeps our nation's seniors out of poverty. It is the Government, after all, who provides healthcare for those who cannot afford it.
Frankly, I'm sick and tired of the republicans lies and distortions. The problem with America is republicans. The solution is Government.
