Christmas Cheer for Everyone... Giant Lumps of Coal for These Chumps
by Aaron D. Hancock
Ho, Ho, Ho! I can think of a few people who should be getting a lump
of coal in their stockings this Christmas. Let's start with today's
news... Madoff and his scam of the disappearing 50 BILLION dollars. Where
did it go? No one is saying, but I'll guarantee Madoff gets a lump of coal
in the stocking hanging over his fireplace in his home. Yes folks, French
investors are slitting their wrists and bicepts after taking a handfull of
sleeping pills all across New York City and this Madoff swindler is sitting
home under house arrest greeting wealthy guests and bankers and Congressmen at
his Christmas party no doubt. But, lest this list get far too long...
another lump please for...
Mr. Obama and his cabinet full of ruthless cutthroat politicians and general scumbags who highlight everything that is wrong and vile and evil in the past 30 years of politics in this country. Is this really what it has come to? Does it really all come down to some cheap swindler singing a pied piper's song as he swan dives off a massive cliff into the rocks below... an entire country of distracted Lemmings following him to their death chanting "Change" and "Yes we can." My word... the horror. The horror.
What may shock you to your very core is that as I sit here writing this I was told by ABC's Nightline that Obama's own "internal probe" has cleared the Obama camp of wrongdoing in the Senate seat scandal that two-bit Nixon wanna be Blagojevich dumped on us after he spoke out against local giant Bank of America in a scandal over the bank not making good on money owed workers who were laid off in Chicago from a window factory. Yes, they even went so far as to confirm Rahm Emanuel had 4 contacts with the profanity spewing governor, yet somehow managed to, with a straight face, tell the Press that all was well and the Titanic had not struck an iceburg. The ship was leaking water and was beginning to list slightly starboard, but if they maintained composure and if the band kept playing, perhaps no one would notice before it was too late. Excellent thinking! Lumps of coal for everyone involved! Obama (he apparently met with Blago himself about the Senate seat but this isn't being discussed in the mainstream media of course) , Rahmbo, Blagojevich, Jessie Jackson Jr. and everyone else who lusted after that wicked Senate seat from Illinois. Even Lincoln would have had the common sense to run from a third-rate halfwit scam like this. This is, after all, the age of Big Brother... and Big Business, which means that when you speak out against Big Business (B of A in this case, they're headquartered here in Charlotte, NC), that Big Brother will come a-callin'. And calling they came.
Moving right along... the folks on the BBC and on Nightline were kind enough to also remind all their viewers that taxpayer money was being used for banker bonuses for these same greed infested squanderers of America's future who destroyed our economy and left a people and nation in ruins. These hereos of the new fascist coup which has encircled the wagons against the Average American are even now enjoying multi-million dollar holiday parties, thousand dollar bottles of wine and truffles from some obscure corner of the globe and we... the American people, are picking up the tab for every bit of it. Yes we're paying for their end of year parties and making their montly yacht payments.
Even with all this going on, as I speak the news is not interrupting The Tonight Show with Jay Leno (nor any other station for that matter, I keep checking) telling of the masses of Angry Americans in the streets with pitchforks and baseball bats and rifles swarming all the major seats of government and corporate headquaters demanding the CEO's and politicans and accountants come out to meet get their just rewards. No, instead Americans are sitting home (while many more sit or stand or shiver in the cold... homeless) watching their shiny flat panel 1080i HDTV's while Monday morning they know they might not have a job. Some even know that Monday they have to go file for unemployment or that after the first of the year they will no longer have a house to live in. All this while Jay is on TV with a bear and some woman who's laugh sounds a lot like a dying hyena that was just hit by a Land Cruiser along a desolate dark road in the African plains. Is this really what it has come to?
Now I see Conan has found a giant 30 foot Santa and is terrorizing several light groupies who were touring the festivous street. Clearly I need several more drinks of my Christmas present (a bottle of Jamison Irish whiskey). Take care of each other, and have as good a holiday as possible. I know things are sketchy and stressful and some of you are having hard times financially, but we can get through this. We are, after all, Americans. And that used to mean something... and for those of us who still have spines, it still does.
Selah.
