Bailout Or Big Scam?!

I just got this in my email box and I thought I would share...

Dear Citizens of America,

My name is Barack Osama Saddam bin Bush Bandarr I am a Prince from the small sovereign nation of Kenyatta, and I am writing you this letter to inform you of our perilous plight and how you can help. My country is on the brink of an economic depression, with massive unemployment and layoffs. The banks are failing, our other financial institutions are also failing but sometimes it is hard to tell when you hear about them taking lavish retreats and still paying CEO 20x that of salaried employees. Our auto industry is falling apart and failing because our big 3 automakers want to build big gas guzzling trucks and Hummers instead of cars that are fuel efficient as well as friendly to the environment, or change their outdated business model to something that works. Still our country is in trouble and that is where you come in dear friends.

My country of Kenyatta needs you to send 700 billion plus and extra 100 billion for incidentals immediately, no questions asked to our front man here in Kenyatta, Paulson Henry. He will disburse the monies as he see's fit and our wonderful homeland will be saved. It is my understanding that the first $350 billion have already been stole...errr steered to the right people and the relief effects have been immediate even though you cannot see it or feel it for that matter as the relief was not intended for you. However, gas prices are the lowest in 4 years. So thank you in advance people of America, may your country never have to face what ours is currently facing.

Now for real if you got this email in your in box would you immediately throw your money at them or toss this sucker in the trash?! Yeah me too but how come when OUR government tries the same scam We the People fall for it hook, line and stinker?!

Again we have been scared, beaten over the head and burnt out of $800 billion dollars. This is got to be the second or third greatest robbery of the American people since the gold confiscation in the 1930's. The looting of Fort Knox is still number one in my book, but that is another blog for another day.

Should we bail out the Big 3 Automakers?!? If we don't we lose more jobs in a trickle down spiral sort of way because the automakers also help the parts makers, parts suppliers and a host of other folks down the line who will be affected, or should we let the market correct itself. If we do bail them out, like we did before, think Chrysler and how they continued to cow-tow to big oil and squash innovation and bury patents, we will be right back here in another few years bailing them out again. I bet their basement vaults are full of great designs of really innovative cars and the like. GM killed the electric car! It is a tough one but you make the call...My personal feelings are thus...Since I am a big free market type of guy ha! I say fuck em all and let chapter 11 sort em out!

* this is just a story to make a point. none of the aforementioned people are supposed to resemble any person, place but any resemblance is purely supposed to be that way.

Tales From GOP Bizarro World - #001

For more detail on pic just click HERE!

Okay I have heard some pretty wild stuff since Barack smashed Grampa McSimpson a few days ago and proved that united in purpose WE can change the world, but this right here...Just takes me right out! The "Stupid" really does hurt.

*Blank Stare*

From the National Journal (via Digby):

Obama thinks he is a good talker, but he is often undisciplined when he speaks. He needs to understand that as President, his words will be scrutinized and will have impact whether he intends it or not. In this regard, President Bush is an excellent model; Obama should take a lesson from his example. Bush never gets sloppy when he is speaking publicly. He chooses his words with care and precision, which is why his style sometimes seems halting. In the eight years he has been President, it is remarkable how few gaffes or verbal blunders he has committed. If Obama doesn't raise his standards, he will exceed Bush's total before he is inaugurated.

What the hell is dude talking about?!? I do not have to pull out the Shrubs greatest slips do I?! Google it on youtube! What planet has his ass been on for the past 8 years?! I hope the whole 4 years is not going to be like this...I know,I know unfortunately it is! That is why I added the zeros before the 1! Foresight or we seen this movie before sight?! It is going to take these morons a few more elections and a few more indictments to get the message. However,they will get the message with our help! Them and their politics are dead to We the people and the rest of the world!

"The Return Of Maniac Monday's - Real Change!"

I don't know about the rest of y'all but for me the party is over! I am thrilled that I played my part in helping Barack get elected and we should be proud but the main thing we should take from all of this is the lesson that WE The People, unified, CAN change the world.

I noticed around the blogosphere and here at The 'PLY that a lot of people are taking a wait an see attitude and that is understandable but it will take the same effort and hard work it took to get him elected as it will to make the changes he has proposed work.

There are a lot of folks, mostly bitter rethug loser types that are constantly asking "What is change!?" Here ya go...

James Brett is an Englishman who, in 1999 while on a business trip to Peshawar in the north west province of Pakistan, had his first glass of pomegranate juice, and fell in love with it. He founded the first pomegranate juice drink in the UK, Pomegreat (.pdf). Further research led him to Afghanistan, where the best pomegranates in the world are grown, particularly in the Kandahar region. A recovering substance abuser, Brett was also aware that Afghanistan was a major producer of heroin.

In 2007, Brett was invited to Kabul to talk to farmers from various regions of Afghanistan about growing pomegranates. He flew to Peshawar and drove through the Khyber Pass heading to Kabul While driving through the Nangarhar Province, he noticed a farmer in a field of opium poppies. After the seminar in Kabul, Brett bought a large piece of card and a blue marker pen, and wrote 'Pomegranate is the Answer'. On his return drive back to Peshawar, he saw the same farmer again in the field, jumped out of the car and ran toward the farmer with his makeshift sign. His horrified translator chased after this mad ginger-haired Brit, yelling, 'Don't go in there, you could be shot!' Undetered, Brett talked to the bewildered farmer through his translator, about the farmer's life, his family, his children, how he lived and why he grew opium, about Brett's own addiction to drugs. Brett explained that pomegranate was not only the best option as an alternative crop to opium poppies, but was the only feasible one for the Afghan climate and growing conditions, and promised to return to the farmer's land a couple months later with pomegranate saplings. He went home and set up a charity called Pom354.

Brett followed through on his promise, returning a few months laster to find the farmer had discussed this idea with sixteen other families with land around his own; all of them wanted to become involved. From there, the plan snowballed – in January, 2008, Afghanistan Television interviewed him, and other farmers asked him for help in changing their fields from poppies to pomegranates. The local member of Parliament and a respected Elder in the Tribal system wanted to know more. A tribal meeting covering the entire Nangarhar Province was called, and 200 Tribal elders invited.

The tribal elders agreed to finish poppy cultivation and switch to growing pomegranates throughout the entire Nangarhar Province by next year, making the region of 1.3 million inhabitants opium poppy free for the first time in a hundred years. The elders told Brett that their decision was based not only on a desire to maintain a level of stability, but because he was the first person who had ever come to them as just an ordinary man rather than a member of a foreign government or a military advisor, someone who simply wanted to see positive change. The tribal elders and Brett then conducted the official opening ceremony in that first farmer's field, now cleared of poppies, and planted the first pomegranate tree sapling. A national meeting is now being planned to expand the pomegranate industry throughout Afghanistan, with the broad support of the Afghani tribal elders as well as the government. (snagged from Crooks & Liars)

Now they are not growing poison and further enslaving themselves and their people they are growing hope in a brighter future. Remember the future is wide open and ANYTHING is now possible. We control it and we can shape it anyway WE want but that is entirely up to US!
