Twas the Night before December

Nixon has had a few days to look at the carnage unleashed in India by Muslim Terrorists. Jews, Americans, and Britains were singled out for special treatment by the psychotic mass murdering little shits involved in this massacre.

One terrorist captured has rolled over by claiming to have been trained in Pakistan in various terror training camps.

Nixon feels that it is time to let the Pakistani's understand that they must take out these free pass areas enjoyed by "tribal" areas and lawless areas in the Western part of the country bordering Afghanistan. Not only are terror groups working the area, Osama Bin Laden is rumored to hold court there as well.

A man once said, "If you are not with us, you are against us". We need to decide, as does the government of Pakistan, just who in the area is with us, and who is against us. Enough of the hands off policy. Time to kill, as it were.

Black Friday

Well, the busiest day of the retail year has come once again. Word out of a Walmart on Long Island NY is that a employee was trampled to death by shoppers when the doors opened this morning, and a lady was jostled into a miscarriage.

Come on people, it's freaking shopping, not a invitation to kill someone. I know the economy is tight, etc, etc. People act so freaking surprised every year about Christmas shopping they lose their minds the day after Thanksgiving.

December 25th comes every year at the same date on the calendar. Time to plan ahead and calm the F down.

Twas the Night before the Day before Thanksgiving

Well, another day has come and gone. Tomorrow hopefully will not bring word of another multiple hundred billion dollar gift from Uncle Sam to some undeserving schmucks either on Wall Street or some other street. Enough is enough. Nixon says if GM or Ford can't cut the mustard, send them on to Chapter 11 land. For years the auto companies in cahoots with the organized crime family known as the United Auto Workers have fleeced the American consumer and ran a once proud American Auto Industry into the shitter. Nixon says, no money for the auto companies, house builders, or any one else. The poor taxpayer is so screwed come next year it isn't funny. I pay taxes, and I ain't laughing.

Don't think of it as a business failure, think of it as evolution in action. Thanks Larry Niven for writing perhaps the coolest sentence ever.

Good night Vic Mackey, the only cop who gave a rats anus, even though he was a crook.

Tuesday's Musings

Well, it is another day in NixonLand. Nixon is plotting out the assault on Tom Turkey scheduled for Thursday morning. Drowning the beast in hot oil is the preferred method this year. But first, Nixon will inject him with various sauces and dust him with various herbs and spices before the hot oil is employed. Nixon is salivating at the thought.

The Federal Reserve fired off another $800 billion in taxpayer funds to help support the financial industry. $600 billion will be used to buy mortgage secured debt instruments and $200 billion will be used in the secured asset consumer loan field. Nixon has one question: When will the use of taxpayer funds end?

First it was investment houses, then bank, now the homebuilders, networks, and every tom, dick, and harry is washing up in Washington hands extended to slop at the public trough. I have one question for our leaders: When does the Government itself ask for a bailout to fund all of these guarantees, capital injections, loans, and gifts? And by bailout, I mean massive cuts in services and jacking up tax rates across the board to fund this financial adventure. Nixon says January 2009 will kick it off. Watch and see.

Wampum Trading, or the Great Financial Waste of 2008

Ted Forstman, of Forstman Little and Co, one of the suitors in the great takeover craze of RJ Reynolds in the late 80's, once described the use of junk bonds and other onerous forms of money as "wampum", referring to the items once used as currency by Native Americans for commerce.

Now, Citigroup has hosed the US Government again for a $20 billion infusion of cash, loan guarantees for $306 billion in so called toxic debt, which is slang for shitty loans that should never had been made or purchased. This goes on top of the $25 billion capital infusion Citi has gobbled under the TARP plan.

Now in Nixon Land, this sort of financial hi jinx gets several people fired and/or prosecuted for negligence or fraud. I really don't look for their to be any fall out in the upper echelon of Citigroup. Now the 50,000 or so employees of Citi facing layoffs as a result of this brilliant management coup will not be eligible for a government bailout.

Ain't life grand?

It's Hump Day, Yee Hah!

The saga of POTUS Elect Obama and his fascination with all things Clinton Like continues. Word has reached Nixon that Bill Clinton's shady financial dealings (now where have I heard that before?) may prevent Hillary from becoming Secretary of State. That would actually be a bad thing for Obama. By putting Hillary in the Administration, he totally removes her from a Presidential run in 2012, thus ridding himself of his strongest possible Democratic challenger. If she doens't make the Cabinet or any other Administrative post, look for her to make another run in 2012. More to come later as it develops.
