Goldman Sachs, SEC and Arizona – such exciting news. But best of all is GLEE!!!
Every day there’s more news about Goldman and the SEC, so I thought I’d add to my recent blog about them. It’s now known that Goldman Sachs traded e-mail messages in which they stated they would make serious money when they bet against the housing markets. In 2007 the firm lost money at first but later recovered it and more by making negative bets to profit when housing prices fell. Goldman had denied doing that, but now that these e-mails were released Saturday, they have really been exposed. And it shows how much money they made at the public’s expense. For the first quarter this year, they made about $3.5 billion which was 91% more than last year. They seem to be doing quite well no matter what negative publicity comes their way.
In my last blog I asked what the SEC was doing when all this was happening. Why weren’t they on the ball? Well, now we know. They were downloading porn!! Some spent as many as 8 hours a day on their work computers downloading porn from all over. Is there anyone back there who cares anything about us, the taxpayers, whom they are screwing over every day?
And then I hear that Republican Governor Jan Brewer of Arizona signed a bill into law that would allow police to question people about their immigration status, even asking for identification, if they think someone is in the country illegally. The governor has said she would not allow any racial profiling or discriminatory practices to take place. Let’s see . . . say the police saw a Mexican man in dirty clothes, smoking a cigarette and waiting on a street corner, possibly hoping to be picked up for a job . . . and across the street a well-dressed young man, briefcase in hand waiting for a bus. Which one do you think the police would want to question? Do you think racial profiling would not take place about that time?
To end on a happier note, don’t forget to watch GLEE, Tuesday night at 9pm on Fox. I think it’s the best one this year. Kurt sang a song that brought me to tears and goose bumps at the same time! And Kristen Chenowith,who has a guest appearance, did the same thing when she sang. Each time I see the show I don’t think it can get better, but it does, time after time. So take that Goldman Sachs and the SEC and stick it you know where. Maybe you should try watching GLEE rather than looking for porn. Do you think you could do that?

Arizona can pass race base laws, pass Birthers laws and the state can continue to boycott Martin Luther King Day, well the rest of the Country can boycott the state of Arizona and spank them where it hurts them the most their pocket book. Their phony patriotism is sickening, they are just racists going by another name. We all know you are just itching to put a sheet on their head? Let’s face it the Republicans had eight years to deal with health care, immigration, climate change and financial oversight and governance and they failed. It appears that the Republican Party is only good at starting wars (two in eight years, with fat War profiteering contracts to friends of Cheney/Bush) but not at winning wars as seen by the continuing line of body bags that keep coming home. The Republicans party will continue turned inward to their old fashion obstructionist party (and their Confederacy appreciation roots) because they continue to allow a small portions (but very loud portion) of their party of “birthers, baggers and blowhards” to rule their party. I will admit that this fringe is very good at playing “Follow the Leader” by listening to their dullard leaders, Beck, Hedgecock, Hannity, O’Reilly, Rush, Savage, Sarah Bailin, Orly Taitz, Victoria Jackson, Michele Bachmann and the rest of the Blowhards and acting as ill programmed robots (they have already acted against doctors that perform abortions). The Birthers and the Tea party crowd think they can scare, intimidate and force others to go along with them by comments like “This time we came unarmed”, let me tell you something not all ex-military join the fringe militia crazies who don’t pay taxes and run around with face paint in the parks playing commando, the majority are mature and understand that the world is more complicated and grey than the black and white that these simpleton make it out to be and that my friend is the point. The world is complicated and people like Hamilton, Lincoln, and Roosevelt believed that we should use government a little to increase social mobility, now it’s about dancing around the claim of government is the problem. The sainted Reagan passed the biggest tax increase in American history and as a result federal employment increased, but facts are lost when mired in mysticism and superstition. For a party that gave us Abraham Lincoln, it is tragic that the ranks are filled with too many empty suits and the crazy Birthers who have not learned that the way our courts work is that you get a competent lawyer, verifiable facts and present them to a judge, if the facts are real and not half baked internet lies, then, and only then, do you proceed to trial. The Birthers seem to be having a problem with their so called “facts”. Let’s face it no one will take the Birthers seriously until they win a case, but until then, you will continue to appear dumb, crazy or racist, or maybe all three. I heard that Orly Taitz now wants to investigate the “Republican 2009 Summer of Love” list: Assemblyman, Michael D. Duvall (CA), Senator John Ensign (NV), Senator Paul Stanley (TN), Governor Mark Stanford (SC), Board of Ed Chair, and Kristin Maguire AKA Bridget Keeney (SC), she wants to re-establish a family values party, that’s like saying that the Catholic Church cares about the welling being of children in their care, too late for that.
