And post something about the Bail-out, especially after Bane showed so much confidence in me in eightfourO's blog post, but sadly economics are a weak point for me. Especially this bail-out shit. So I figure I'll make a fun post and then close with my few bailout thoughts.... aaannndddd

What's more fun than watching McCain get lost on stage?

I guess it's also pretty fun to see him say that he turned to Palin for foreign policy advice many times in the past... lolz

NPR: Given what you’ve said Senator, is there an occasion where you could imagine turning to Governor Palin for advice in a foreign policy crisis.

MCCAIN: I’ve turned to her advice many times in the past, I can’t imagine turning to Senator Obama or Senator Biden because they’ve been wrong. They were wrong about Iraq, wrong about Russia –

NPR: But would you turn to Governor Palin?

MCCAIN: I certainly wouldn’t turn to them, and I’ve already turned to Governor Palin particularly on energy issues and I’ve appreciated her background and knowledge on that and many other issues.

Energy issues is the kicker - yep, ask for advice from the woman who doesn't even know how much energy her own state produces and says it's %20 of all the USA's energy when it's actually %3.5...

Oh, almost forgot! What's more fun than good poll results??? Obama had a sick day of good polling coming in... wow:

Anyway, back to the bailout. eightfourO posted a video that had a bit of a conspiracy theory feeling to it (especially cause the guy talking was really funny to watch). I'm gonna repost it here in the spoiler, and put a shorter version of the same thing without the weird guy above it. I'm not endorsing these ideas yet but I figure you guys are smart enough to take in the info and come to a conclusion.

Weird looking guy who is apparently credible and not a conspiracy theorist in spoiler:
+ Show Spoiler +

And here's my response to those video's that I posted in eightfourO's blog:

That guy in the first video was really funny looking and funny to watch. But he made some interesting points.

If he's right and all the reason's we've been sold are just BS, then wow, this totally ain't cool. I also think it's very sus for paulson to say that it's a veto if money can't go overseas =(

Overall I don't know who this guy is so I am approaching this skeptically as potential conspiracy theory, but I also think it's quite possibly true, which really is ridiculous. Anyway, I think that if there does need to be a bailout, this ridiculous "PUSH IT THROUGH ASAPLY" line of thinking doesn't make sense to me. I feel like it just means we're going to compromise important shit because we're rushing... Now they're having to add other tax cuts to the bill to make it appeal to the house. The senate is attaching it to another popular bill which is an uber gay move imo. Overall I just don't like anything about this bailout situation =(

And moffa added:

No conspiracy guy, he hates "tin foil bullshit" on his forum. Things must be supported by truth or he won't say it. He has appeared on Glenn Beck and he's credible.

So that gets things one step closer to being solid. Now I need to see that the bill really wouldn't be applied to helping on this student loan/mortgage and so on shit. I wouldn't be surprised if this guys right though, which is a really sad state to be in T_T

i agree in that he is really ugly and funny to watch...

but point taken, why the hell are we giving 700 billion dollars to foreign investors in china, and britain, and germany and australia...makes no sense. Thats our tax money... I work 2 jobs to have my money go to some fuck up in europe who lost his bet with his investment???

Economics is my weak point as well...but this is a video of a senator or something telling us about how the government is fucking screwing us over!! =(

makes me want to beat the shit out of everyone who has been in office since JFK.

If i was president, everything i found out that was a secret would be told publically on the 1st fucking day i was in office. The people should know whats going on.

*edit
barring it didn't throw us into some absolute mad fucking panic like "omg area 57 are realz and aliens gunna blow shit up in a week zomG!??!?!"

I am a god damn Rootin Tootin Shootin Cowboy!!
