Economic Ramblings of a Broke A$$ Woman

It’s taken some days, but I’ve finally figured out how I feel about this economic bailout thing that’s been monopolizing my radio, my tv, my internet, and the proverbial water cooler at work.
I hate it.
Should Congress be successful in resurrecting the bill and bringing it to another vote, I hope it fails miserably.
There.
I said [...]

Depression, Burning Tables and The House of Representatives

The Bailout has failed.
It didn’t even make it past the House today… and well… let’s face it…
This nonsense has officially become a full-blown mess.
The Republicans are blaming the Democrats, claiming the measure would have passed, had Nancy Pelosi not given such a partisan speech on the House floor this morning.
The Democrats are counter-blaming the [...]

Remembering Paul Newman

As most of us have undoubtedly heard by now, the Great Paul Newman has died.
He was 83.
He will be sorely missed- for his brilliance, his talent, and perhaps even more for his humanity.
From the more than $200 million he has donated to charity from the profits of his Newman’s Own salad dressing company to the 11 Hole in [...]

Tina Fey, Sarah Palin, and the Lipstick-Wearing Deer Caught in Headlights

Does anyone really feel sorry for Sarah Palin?
No?
Good.
I wonder if she knew what she was getting herself into when she agreed to become John McCain’s running mate.
Regardless, one thing is quite obvious- Pitbull Palin has bitten off more than she can chew.
Watching her this past week, she looks less like a ferocious dog in lipstick [...]

Jack Cafferty on Sarah Palin- Cafferty Gets It- Do You?

Jack Cafferty said it best when discussing Sarah Palin’s potential Vice-Presidency following her horrific, cringe-inducing interview with Katie Couric.
If John McCain wins this woman will be one 72-year-old’s heartbeat away from being President of the United States. And if that doesn’t scare the hell out of you, it should.
Here, here Jack.
I’d just like to add, [...]

Premature Ejaculation, African Negroes and John McCain

The verdict is in, and Barack Obama has won last night’s Presidential Debate.
It was a good solid debate… though not horribly exciting.
Neither side delivered that knock-out blow I think a lot of us were hoping for, but I also think we all got to see what we’ve been craving for a long time- a little unscripted action [...]

Let The Games Begin!

The day has finally arrived…
The Presidential Debate is here!
So…
Despite suspending his campaign but not really suspending it… and then promising that he would only participate in the debate if the economic bailout fiasco was resolved by Friday… which it wasn’t…
John McCain has agreed to appear alongside Barack Obama tonight in Oxford, Mississippi.
Amazingly, despite the fact that the debate has not even taken place yet, [...]

The Suspension That Never Was…

Deep down, I knew this shit was too good to be true.
The GOP ticket is so full of empty promises- it’s enough to break a girl’s heart.
So while everyone else was busy suspending McCain’s campaign, he was busy…
Um…
Campaigning.
Naw- he didn’t actually hightail it to Washington to steer the Senate masses in the right direction so as to pass this economic bailout [...]

Implosion, Spontaneous Combustion and John McCain

This man is about to implode…
Spontaneously combust…
Boom!
Now McCain wants to postpone the VP Debates in addition to the Presidential Debates.
He’s lost his ever-loving mind.
That’s what this “I need to suspend my campaign to put country first” bullshit was all about…
As noted in yesterday’s post, this man couldn’t care less about the economy.
Something else entirely was [...]

Depression, Captains and Multi-Tasking

McCain has announced that he will be suspending his campaign to concentrate solely on the economy.
He wants Obama to put his campaign on hold too- and has asked that Friday’s presidential debates be cancelled.
Obama’s cool taking the partisan route with McCain, and coming up with an economic plan-of-action… in fact, it was Obama’s idea to try and work with McCain on this train-wreck to begin [...]
