How did it happen?

is the question, after the HUGE economic crash, that threw us into the recession/depression we are in. Well, the answers are coming out. Bernie Madoff, and the hedge funds were able to rip us off, BECAUSE, the Bush administration gutted the SEC, the rules enforcers of the financial world. Cut their budget by OVER 75%, with HUGE layoffs of enforcers. Google it if you don't believe me. The Repub mantra has been de-regulation. Worked GREAT for the big boys, who worked the system, just like they did under Bush 1, to gut the Savings and Loans, and nearly wrecked us in the late 1980's. The Bush's go after the BIG $, and they are REALLY good at it, looting the S&L's, taking oil from under $20 to over $140/bbl, starting wars, and manipulating Wall St. In a perverted way, I admire them, cuz they can steal on such a HUGE scale, that most would never consider. Look at the facts! They make Dillinger and Capone look like rookies....

and even if you proved it in a court of law, that "Supreme" of all courts would side with them---I have long believed that the sole person of Rove's BS was to get ANY republican elected in order to fully staff the Supremes w people who wouldn't send repubs to jail

If you will look around you will see it is all a blame game. Everyone blames the other guy for whatever has befallen the economy, S&L, Oil, Wall Street. The Democrats blame the Republicans and visa versa. The Senate blames the House and visa versa. Blame the Supreme Court. Blame! It has to be somebody's fault, right? But just as in the Family Circus cartoon you'll read, "Not me."

Great 'bargains' at the local Sprouts store

where we picked up asparagus and baby back ribs. Carol and I went for the same stuff (serarately, today), cuz it is so good, AND a great price. Had it for dinner tonight. WOW. One of my fav dinners, as the ribs start out in the crock pot, then finish on the grill, with fresh asparagus. (and bread pudding for dessert) I LOVE this time of year...

Because I'm sorta stuck in an Anti-Bush rant.. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D99NHb6B03s Can you imagine all those rapper stars with these things? Of course, they'd have to have theirs with 'da bling! Can't be standard, gawd no! And of course, Britney's gotta have one in her car. Paris with her pooch totin' one on the red carpet at some fete. The boys in 'da hood will have a field day on their daily drive bys. P Diddy will wear his on a chain around his neck. You suppose there will be special pockets made in jeans for these things? Trailer trash folks will have 'em camouflaged. Jeff Foxworthy will have to come up with some fresh Redneck stuff. Think George W. will get one, each for the twins? Don't forget Dickie boy for those spur of the moment huntin' trips. Of course Ma Babs will have hers with pearls. Think it will affect the Royals? I can imagine Charles and Camilia on their fox hunt...........ah yes, and Prince Philip, too, must include the

You think the Repub brand is tarnished now?

Just wait 'til Bonehead leads us all over the cliff, to save his 2% buddies having to pay a little higher tax. The Pubs keep thinking the American public is stupid, and they can get away with their phony political crap. They keep forgetting we're not all a bunch of FOXNews sheep, who'll swallow whatever swill is shoveled to them. A once proud party, like a beast in it's death throes, striking out to harm whatever's close, threatening to shut the gov't down, (again), over the debt limit, which is just paying the bills they already ran up. Political hacks, pretending to be patriots. So sad...
