Mortage Pundit Fears The Future

In responding to the housing market/loan conditions, the pundit says that it is hard to predict, especially if it's in the future.

The FBI should investigate bad pundits. It may be a sign of criminality.

Home Depot Humiliation

The other day I was in Home Depot early and witnessed a peppy manager/consultant forcing the staff into a football chant, give me an H, give me and O and so on. She exorted the staff to yell louder. They were embarrassed to the point of shame. I had to run for cover. It was too painful to watch...a perky pep consultant leading chanting over piles of sheet rock.

NeoCon Porn

The recent revelation that naked Muslim detainees were interrogated by female “handlers” suggests Neocon porn. The thought that bundles of photos are making the rounds or even live video feeds to secure rooms in Washington and interested think tanks is very disturbing.

Dick Cheney is the alleged mastermind behind the torture policy. Whenever I think of Dick Cheney I hear the pop song, “The Shadow of Your Smile.” It may well be that the song was playing while we were both using our multiple student deferments to avoid the Viet Nam War. Perhaps he is only guilt of caring too much. One hopes that he isn’t convicted of war crimes or rendered to an unfriendly country.

Generosity Misunderstood

The house painter held a neatly folded pastry bag in front of the bearded homeless man. He tried to explain that the bag contained food. The bearded man wanted money so he could buy a donut. He did not understand a bag in his face. The painter was a little frustrated. He had to get to work but his act of kindness was falling into the other's pathology.

It's so simple...eat the damn donut! Another man sits on the same street with his disconnected prosthesis that holds a cup for money. He would know what to do with the donut.

Perhaps the bearded man was a former client of the painter.

Jimmy Carter's Sweater

What would our lives be like if we'd put on sweaters and lowered our consumption of energy? But this was a matter of our "non-negotiable" lifestyle as one of our sage and compassionate leaders commented and framed the dilemma. Almost a half century wasted.

Peak Oil -- Regifted

A gift idea making the rounds is giving gas in gallon cans or larger jerrycans. While this is ironic, Hipsters, please don't burn the town down. All those expensive tattoos gone up in flames. How about gift cards, the kind with credit on them.

FBI Alert

After watching the movie Z, I realized that Z like assaults on public figures may be the next wave. If you haven't seen Z in a while, the thugs drive slow-moving vans in full view of the opposing camps who have positioned themselves on opposite side of the street. A thug-driven van drives slowly down the street and a leftist senator is clubbed with a Flinstone era bone club.

(This viewer believes that reaction times among leftists were much slower in the sixties. The ur erneast demeanor made them subject to such attacks. Obama...watch out for fat republicans in electric golf carts!)

The slow assault could fool public figures now, especially with the advent of GM's electric car. I think intelligence agencies should work with the model of the slow assault, a small non combustion vehicle.
