3 Things: Finance Reform (Screw it)

1) To all you fellow Republicans who are thinking of voting FOR this shit...

What? Are you freakin' CRAZY?

You want to give up millions of dollars in campaign contributions (and that's just the part that's above the table)?

You want to give up your freakin' junkets to the Caymans and Switzerland to "study" the aspects of global finance?

You think people who work for a living have the same goddamn rights to excess as people who own shit?

2) Life isn't fair.

Is it our freakin' fault the fine print in most banking documents is designed to slowly suck the resources from anybody who does business with them?

Is it our freakin' fault that most educated financial people in the world can't understand the freakin' derivatives, hidden assets, and bonus compensation structures?

Hell no it's not. The freakin' bankers themselves can't even understand that shit, let alone regulators and stockholders, but they're making money. So leave them the fuck alone!

3) You've gotta get down on your knees and thank the Lord he made you a Republican.
What? You wanna care about shit? You wanna care about the little people?

Screw it! GO MAKE MONEY. And keep those campaign contributions comin'

Em

3 Things: UN Gun Plan

I have just proposed a ballot measure for great people of the State of Colorado.
What we want is for the current administration to get the hell out of Dodge on this new United Nations gun restriction initiative. So what if a ballot referendum isn't going to lock anybody into a vote on this U.N. crap, it will send a powerful message in support of the following three points:

1) We need to stop this headlong slide down the stinky slippery slope of a measure that will without a doubt result in the confiscation of guns from real Americans. (def. Real American, an American who has one or more guns)

2) We need to stop this intrusion into business that is good for America. This U.N. measure will radically restrict (did you catch that word radical?) international gun trade. OK, so it's international, but it still could end up in the confiscations I mentioned in point one. Besides, we got a lot of companies who make a lot of big money (repeat for emphasis - BIG MONEY) selling weapons around the world, most of the time to both sides (in fairness, of course). Maybe none of these companies actually hire Americans anymore, but I'm pretty sure at least some of this money will filter back into our economy somehow, like when congressmen like me pay our bills for internet porn and pay out a couple of bucks an hour to our illegal alien housekeepers and gardeners.

3) We need to get this stuff under control before I make my proposal to change the Second Amendment to the U.S. Constitution so it requires all Americans to own weapons.

Disclaimer: The three week Mediterranean cruise that my wife, Bethany, and I went on last spring has nothing to to with this. Even if it was paid for by a coalition of the gun and free distribution of nukes lobbies. Hell, there were at least a hundred congressmen on that cruise.
