Saturday, September 27th, 2008Sarah Silverman Is Schleppin’ For Obama
Sarah Silverman wants you to vote for Obama, especially if you’re Jewish and old. And live in Florida. The Great Schlep aims to have Jewish grandchildren visit their grandparents in Florida, educate them about Obama, and therefore swing the crucial Florida vote in his favor. As Sarah points out: “…Barack Hussein Obama. It’s a super fucking shitty name, but you’d think that somebody named Manischewitz Guberman might understand that…” She sure has come a long way since her You’re Gonna Die Soon days, hasn’t she? So okay Sarah, I’ve promoted your crap, will you marry me now?
Hank Paulson To America: “Buy My Shitpile”

Tuesday, September 23rd, 2008I goy us here, I CAN GET US OUT!
Most Americans aren’t reacting too positively to this whole “let’s bail out the rich guys” idea. Maybe because the bill includes things like: “Sec. 8. Review. Decisions by the Secretary pursuant to the authority of this Act are non-reviewable and committed to agency discretion, and may not be reviewed by any court of law or any administrative agency.” Well, we’re on to your shenanigans, Hank. That’s why someone set up BuyMyShitpile.com, where the government can give that 700 bil to YOU AND ME and let us heal the economy the good old-fashioned way, by frittering it away as consumers! BuyMyShitpile.com even lets you add your own items with images. Note: Hank’s also been sending this scam e-mail around. Be vigiliant!

Saturday, September 20th, 2008EFF Suing Every John, Dick, and Alberto They Can Think Of
 Dick Cheney Shows Us How Much He Cares |
It’s likely to get you sued. In the ongoing legislative cat and mouse game that AT&T and the White House are playing to keep their ability to stick their eyes, ears, and noses into every aspect of your personal life, the Electronic Frontier Foundation is once again stepping up to bat for you. After AT&T bought enough dinners & prostitutes for politicians over the past several months, they eventually managed to get the bastards to grant them immunity for their part in illegally tapping our phones in the guise of protecting us. (Personally, my experiences with AT&T’s service and billing suggest I’ll be just fine without whatever protection they might be providing, thank you very much.) It’s a major show of dedication to protecting your constitutional rights on the part of the EFF; you might think about giving them some of your money , rather than giving it to those two senators running for president, one of whom voted for the bill after saying he would filibuster against it, the other of whom didn’t vote at all.

Thursday, September 18th, 2008Since we’re bailing out Merrill Lynch, AIG, Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac et al, does that mean we get to go to board meetings now?
I’ve always believed that buying insurance was like giving someone money to protect you from something that’ll never happen so that they can not protect you when it does. Which is why I’m sitting here wondering if maybe the average working stiffs like you and me shouldn’t be a little more disturbed that we and our children and their children will be responsible for paying for the absurd (where’s your irrational exuberance now!?!?) behavior of the insurance and financial industries over the past decade or so. Will we get some kind of profit sharing when these industries start making money again? Or is this communism for the rich?
