Who let the Goon Squad in?
WOW!
America, as we know it, is OVER. About the only thing left for crazy ass Ben Bernanke to do is extend the Fed's loaning power to ME, personally. I expect this any day now.
You see, I would be less crazy with the funds than all the crooked CEOs of all the companies who buy and sell America's elections and votes. No question. I would run this bitch smoove and eazy... Word.
I can even prove it.
How?
I have a spreadsheet.
You should see it!
It has formulas, and graphs, hell - I even put in a couple of macros in there (complete with buttons to activate them)! I don't think the CEO of GM can do that shit.
Anyway, with my spreadsheet, I could clean up this shit. That spreadsheet is all I need. That, and a bottle of rum. Good rum. Really the rum is the more important of the two.
The two blend well together - rum and spreadsheets. You should see the stuff you can come up with a half bottle in. It's sweet. Not so with politicians. Politicians we can do without. There is no room for politicians or lobbyists on my spreadsheet.
Jefferson, Franklin, and Washington would be proud of my spreadsheet, but not my rum - They were whiskey drinkers... Washington even distilled his own (Well done!) They would not be proud of our current political system, I am fairly certain. They really forgot one critical component in the Constitution.
They sort of hit on it, but they couldn't see the secular moves that the world would take. Here is a thesis:
"The separation of Church and State was actually intended to be a separation of External Power and Government."
The idea of separation of Church and State is (roughly) that the State will not enforce or endorse a religion. Well - I argue that this notion should be extended to Corporations too. The state shall not reinforce the power of private enterprise. Period.
Imagine a government built by and for the people, where corporate interests couldn't interfere. Corporate crimes were prosecuted, and there were no breaks, no loans, no tax benefits, no earmarks, no cronies, just a true, competitive marketplace - separate from government. Bad investments were punished by bad returns. Prudent risks were rewarded by reasonable returns. Corporations might even publish the salaries of their top officials - so investors could make wise decisions about whether they wanted to trust those corporations with their money. But the Government had nothing to do with it.
The Framers said that the Federal government should be subservient to local laws. For real. Look it up. Small, local government was the way they envishioned life, and I like it. Where did that end up? The Republicans grew government more than any other administration in history, and are deeper into corporate pockets than anyone. The Dems are all for big government. Where does that leave us? Citizens who are concerned about the ability to make choices, protect the environment, but generally want to be left alone? I don't know!
Therefore - I don't vote.
I drink.
And work on my spreadsheet.
Both of which have all the answers.
I'm going to start a new religion - surrounding drinking and spreadsheets.
You should join.
It'll be killer.
Also, Roger Clyne will be an integral part of the religion. Lot's of philosophies there - but more on that later.
That's all for now.
