Wall St, McCain Heat Up
I lost all but two bets this past weekend. If I'd done a little worse I would've applied for a job at the Fed! As a handicapper, I would like to see the government step in and break these guy's thumbs...maybe a Louisville Slugger to the knees would be better--I know there's an ash bat shortage, but maple is good enough for these bastards...these weasels will plead that they NEED their thumbs so they can use their slide rules and abbacuses to make this money back...it's not coming back. This ridiculously huge bailout is NOT restoring my confidence. The very prospect of it is undermining my confidence. A couple of days ago I was planning on making a joke out of this, finishing with, "...that's why I'm voting for John McCain," or "...that's why I'm voting for Barak Obama." But these guys are both for the bailout. The great flushing sound of taxpayers losing 700 billion dollars will happen before the election, but I want to hear more politicians say that they think we shouldn't do it. Newt Gingrich has expressed doubts about the bailout, as well as the rush to do it. I hope he gets some support. I don't know, but the two minutes of Fox News I saw today made it look like they were hyping the move. Both the reporter and the "expert," were blonde and seemed panicked. I don't have a joke--this is just what I saw.
Some Brazilian model that John McCain used to bang was in the news this morning. NPR seemed to be spinning this as an attempt by McCain to woo the Latina vote, which made me wonder if Sarah M. Palin's appeal doesn't extend to voting hispanics. In his memoir McCain also mentioned that he and his shipmates "indulged in the vices sailors are infamous for,"
re-affirming his bi-partizan reputation. Perhaps coincidentially, the Pogues' Rum, Sodomy, and the Lash briefly broke into the Billboard top 100 albums.
When asked if he would endorse the Arizona senator, Kid Rock seemed to answer in the affirmative, saying "Let's just say I ain't goin' out like the Dixie Chicks," and that the "Kid Rock Doctrine" was "Sing Loudly and smoke a big stick." He expressed interest in getting out the vote in Michigan, where medical marijuana is on the ballot. McCain hinted at sympathy for seniors with glaucoma and other ailments, but then seemed to get distracted before he could put his foot further into his mouth.
John McCain was seen at a NASCAR event, and I think I saw him talking to Richard Petty on TV. Now that he's locked up the drift kid set, he's going after those fence sitting NASCAR fans. Now he just needs to get the people like me that leave their blinkers on and forget where they are....or at least remind them what day they have to vote.
I forgot to review my picks last weekend. I guess I got distracted. Amazing how I can lose, but still not be irresponsible enough to need a bailout--or a broken knee.
