Rich and famous Marxists bring down banks

Frit reads that “it is the Clinton-era changes to the Community Reinvestment Act that forced banks to lend more for “affordable housing”. Law firms, including ones connected to Obama, sued banks that failed to meet their low-income quotas for mortgages”.

The age of irresponsibility

Frit notes that would-be multimillionaire unelected British Prime Minister Boredom Brown is swanning around at the United Nations in New York, making fancy speeches on the financial crisis, stating that “we must now say clearly that the age of irresponsibility must be ended”. This is the same would-be multimillionaire Boredom Brown that has occupied the post of British Chancellor of the Exchequer for the past ten years!!!!
Wikipedia defines the post of Chancellor of the Exchequer as “the title held by the British Cabinet minister who is responsible for all economic and financial matters”!!!!
When asked to clarify when "the age of irresponsibility'' began, a Government official travelling with Mr Brown refused to specify beyond admitting it was "in recent years''!!!!

Financial crisis

The Bush-Cheney response to the financial crisis adds up to stealing money from the 30% of the population that have made sensible decisions with their finances and giving it to the 70% who have made lousy decisions with theirs and gotten themselves into debt. This is a disgraceful response. Undiluted socialism. Very un-American.

The same response on the part of the British government is very British.

Sudden funny turn for Biden?

As a response to the Republicans' appointment of a woman as vice presidential candidate, which appears to be going down well, multimillionaire President and Saviour of all Mankind B.A. Barackabama is said to be planning to have multimillionaire Joe Biden give up his appointment as Democratic vice presidential candidate “for health reasons” so that hectomillionairess Hilary Clinton can now take his place. Surely the Democrats (who tell us on their website that they stand for open, honest and accountable government) couldn’t be so devious, dishonest and deceitful. OH YES THEY COULD!

Footnote
Looking at the Democratic Party’s website, one comes across astonishingly illiterate passages in “crtical” places, like: “We are in a crticial moment that will reverberate for generations to come. We see us through these times, Democrats will work to end the war in Iraq and refocus our nation's efforts on those who attacked us on September 11.”

and: “When Democrats ask for your vote, we can win anywhere.”

and: “We released a new, 65-page report on John McCain's 26 years in Washington, cozy relationships with his lobbyist campaign advisors and fundraisers and the backroom deals he's been involved with have harmed Americans and cost America jobs.”

We can’t send them all back to school because that’s where they all hang out anyway . . .

Creationism

A media hullaballoo blew up last week in Britain because a certain Professor Michael Reiss, director of science education at the Royal Society, apparently seemed to suggest that “creationism” be taught in British schools by way of including “religious” pupils in science courses. For the uneducated, “Creationism” is an ism for those lacking the gumption to make sense of the normal evolutionary processes of life going on around them, before their very eyes, each day. When they see a spider eat a fly they flee for refuge to a land of furry goodness where the fly has some mystical point to its existence that transcends the simple needs of its own or the spider’s survival. The fly will just be okay and somehow remain in undigested form and be of intrinsic value and live for ever somewhere sometime in the end, perhaps even getting a Nobel prize for something or other or getting to shake the hand of hectomillionaire Bill Clinton or Great Gore or some other Alpha furry being before turning into a sort of semi invisible state and levitating from view hand in hand with the spider.

But the strange thing is that, after all the hullaballoo about this issue, there was an even bigger hullaballoo after Professor Reiss was sacked, a hullabaloo made by wordy and seriously strange people seeking to defend his support for teaching “creationism” in schools, with headlines like “The Royal Society is sadly unenlightened on creationism”! (Telegraph!) And then it turns out that Professor Reiss does not support any such thing and never said any such thing and the entire issue was nothing but a load of misrepresentation and a pack of lies put about by the newspapers in the first place. Disgraceful!

But then, just when one thinks one has gotten to the bottom of the matter, one reads “Professor Reiss, who is an ordained Church of England Minister . . .” Help!

Woman on top

Tzipi Livni, a woman, is the new leader of Israel's Kadima party. Strange that parties of the left spend soooo much time talking about equal rights and women’s rights and equality and all these things, but somehow it actually always seems to actually be the parties of the actual right that actually go ahead and actually elect actual female leaders. Strange world. Strange world.

Suicide

Frit notes that Belgium is fourteenth in the table of countries with the highest suicide rates. This he finds surprising. He would have expected all the Belgians to have done the decent thing and topped themselves by now.

Working to make a financial difference

“Surely there must be a level beyond which profit from news is simply indecent”, says world renowned super duper CNN chief international correspondent Christiane Amanpour. Fine sentiments, but, deep down in his soul, Frit knows it is the level beyond which she personally profits from the news herself that she finds so indecent.

Whenever people issue such “not interested in the money” type statements to the gullible and the young, proper journalists should straight away enquire exactly how much money they actually make themselves before rushing to bring us their wonderful words. Frit now publically challenges Christiane Aman-by-no-means-poor (real name Mrs Rubin) to disclose her income and allow us to examine all her bank statements. She comes from a well-off Iranian family that fled Iran when the religious crackpots seized power, for a start, and Frit, for one, is less than believing when told all the money “is tied up”.

Oh ever so nice rich woman, with such weird hair, you are the very archetypal serial slanter of media fact and truth for self advancement and cash. Your husband, millionaire James Rubin, is a former assistant to hectomillionaire Bill Clinton and a current advisor to hectomillionairess Hilary Clinton for goodness sake. You yourself quite openly claim to be “working to make a difference” instead of “working to be impartial and objective”. Oh, Mrs. Rubin, how do we permit such untruth-tellers as you to get away with such deception in such blatant fashion? SHOW US YOUR BANK STATEMENTS!

Jury unable to decide if it has less gumption than backbone or vice versa

The British legal system has flunked yet again. This time it has failed to have 7 would-be terrorists garrotted after a lucrative 5 month trial. Apparently, this is the fault of George Bush for having ordered the arrest of a terrorist suspect “too soon” for the super big-earning British police force and prosecution service to have built a watertight case against the seven. The evidence against them only included six “suicide videos” to be released to the media after an attack, a mass of bombmaking material and extensive surveillance video and audio recordings. Not enough. The good men and women of a British jury need a terrorist to have detonated his bomb and killed and maimed a lot of people on camera from ten different angles before they will take him seriously. They just couldn’t be convinced.

The well-paid judge allowed the jurors a two-week holiday after they had retired to consider their verdicts. They were also given time off for one juror to attend a training course and they had several days off for illness. Between July 28, when the jury retired, and September 8, when it returned its verdicts, it deliberated for just over 56 hours. Frit thinks the members of this jury should now be prosecuted for wasting public money and the judge, the police, the prosecution and defence should all be prosecuted for stealing it.

Bravely brushing aside the rules

Unelected British Prime Minister and would-be multimillionaire Boredom Brown has broken with political convention by offering effusive praise for Multimillionaire President B.A. Barackabama at a time when foreign leaders are meant to maintain careful neutrality ahead of the US election. Some might believe Boredom Brown did this because he is a cunning and slippery heavyweight political assassin, but Frit believes he did it because he is an incompetent moron loser.

Near alien being stages coup

The “old media” are reporting with rapturous interest that German Foreign Minister Frank-Walter Steinmeyer has now staged a successful coup within his Social Democratic Party to make himself its next Chancellor candidate. Steinmeyer’s name includes the German word for “stone”, i.e. “Stein”, but not, strangely, the German words for “from under a”. The “old media” is not going out of its way to trumpet the fact that this deeply creepy individual has done this despite having said, in March of this year, that the idea of him intending to do any such thing was “codswallop”. “I am doing all I can to make sure that the (present) Chairman of the Social Democratic Party, Kurt Beck, is elected as Germany’s next Chancellor,” he went on to untruthfully say at the time.

Saving the planet with veg and two veg

A certain brute with big hair named Dr Pachauri (career United Nations global warming big earner and brainwasher of the gullible and the young) says people in better-off countries should stop eating so much meat if the globally warmed planet is to be saved from doom and destruction. So we are not at all under threat from the vast numbers of new human beings that result from uncontrolled breeding, as we might have thought, we are under threat from not eating our greens. And the United Nations is not there to put any effort into confronting global breeding, it is there to advise those bred what to eat. We are so grateful.

Apparently “Dr Pachauri has just been re-appointed for a second six-year term as chairman of the Nobel Prize-winning IPCC, the body that collates and evaluates climate data for the world's governments”. How glad we are to here it. We shall wish the man six more years of good earning as we fry tonight’s steak.

Bloody debate

Frit notes that the “debate” going on in Germany right now, about withdrawing German armed forces from Afghastlystan (inspired, of course, by the considerate peace loving greens, social democrats and communists), is not going unnoticed by the terrorists in Afghastlystan. Naturally, their contribution to helping the debate along is to increase their attacks on German forces and kill as many as they can. The blood of these men and women in the German armed forces is therefore, of course, on the hands of the considerate peace loving greens, social democrats and communists.

Frit’s summer evening idyll

Gazpacho, fromaggio and Bardolino with a muchacho on the patio.

AIDS from aides?

Things have been said for some time now in places like http://codeblueblog.blogs.com/codeblueblog/2005/03/csi_medblogs_do.html. But Frit believes hectomillionaire Bill Clinton might have AIDS for quite another reason, i.e. to set up an AIDS foundation and go around vaunting the rights of AIDS sufferers whilst at the same time pretending to the world that you yourself have another disease entirely would just be so much in character, wouldn’t it.

Croning ceremonies

Madonna, a publicity seeking old woman who’s life has been dedicated to showing her body parts to people on stage for money (such a modern idea!), is the latest being to crawl from the swamp to back Multimillionaire President B.A. Barackabama, comparing him to the Indian God Ghandi, the ultimate selfless being who wanted nothing but got immense influence, limelight and fame anyway. She also compares McCain to Hitler. The only historical figure Frit can think of comparing Madonna with is the ghastly crone said throughout the ages to sit on the chests of people when they sleep, giving them nightmares and thus bequeathing us the fine concept of having been “hagridden”. There must be so many to have crossed Madonna’s path who feel that way.

NB: Frit reads that crones can now be properly and officially croned at a croning ceremony. A woman who describes herself as “an eco-crone, ritualist, hypnotherapist, frame drummer and emerging gourd artist” is “available as a consultant and convener to plan and/or conduct customized croning ceremonies for individuals, groups, circles, and gatherings”. She can be contacted at http://www.croning.org/pages/534083/index.htm by any aspiring crone who would like to find out her “fee schedule”. However much it is, Frit feels sure Madonna has made enough from public vulgarity to afford it.
