A break from our regularly scheduled logorrhea

We've been negotiating this massive contract with Marvel Comics to provide a 500,000 word manuscript based on the Chequamegon Fat Tire Festival, and watching as our readership plummets from around 10 readers to maybe .5 readers per day, so in the interest of providing a burnt offering on the altar of our televisual, hypersexualized/infantilized Aye Dee Dee culture, we provide for you a classic cycling clip that in no way refers to the Chinese Fire Drill antics of a certain presidential campaign...(Oh shit, I did it again. Sorry Doc, our defacto token house Republican, recently decamped!)

What makes you think Doc is a Republican, let alone a token one? Actually, I'm a big fan of political gridlock. With no one party in complete control, nobody can totally screw up the country. I'm also a big believer in the law of unintended consequences: the bigger and more complicated your plan, the greater your chance of acheiving something worse than if you'd done nothing at all.

BTW, the mother of all financial crises currently threatening western civilization (or at least the nest eggs of lots of Wall Street types) actually started as a result of the Clinton administration hoping to get more minorities to purchase homes. Don't believe me? Check out this eerily prescient NYT article from 1999:

OMG, yes, poor black people caused the "mother of all financial crises."

Yes, ACORN and Obama and Slick Willy forced banks and brokers to make zillions of dollars on signing-fees and percentages on bad loans. Yes, poor black people ran the stock market up trillions of dollars, making tons and tons of FU money for themselves and their heirs, and totally ass-fucking generations of americans for their selfish gain.

Yes, poor black renters who had no business buying homes, much less renting them, invented Collatoralized Debt Instruments and Credit Default Swaps in order to bring down The Man.

Puh-leeze, Doc. Puh-leeze. Yer KILLING me.

Check your party at the door, browse investopedia.com for 30 minutes, and join the truth.

Come on in, the water's fine and folks are actually pretty agreeable and supportive, no matter what your... ah never mind.

A cult will always end in tears and kool-aid.

And uh, "no one party in charge"?

Tell me: How screwed up is our country and who has monopolized every branch of government for 12 of the last 18 years?

You're right, and you don't even know it.

From the article you link:

>>In addition, banks, thrift institutions and mortgage companies have been pressing Fannie Mae to help them make more loans to so-called subprime borrowers.

So what was that you were you saying about the Clinton administration?

My one thought:
the use of the word prescient = d-bag flag, raised high.

yeah, using big words is faggy.

What door did you check your party at, Pinchie? D for DFL? Dyspepsia? Defamation? Disingenuity? Death to Dissention?

Forgive me, I thought your comment section was for dialog between literate or at least semi-literate adults. I realize now that this blog is really a pseudo-literate sewer of sycophants mounting wooden sworded ad hominems against the hapless truth-seeker who stumbles upon it.

Congratulations, Shakespeare, you've alienated another reader. As I figure it, you're down to about 6, and they don't appear to be able to read. Which is lucky for you.
