Monday Musings and Pre Xmas Wanderings....

He Got HOW MUCH!

The CEO of Merrill Lynch, some guy I’ve never heard of, whose firm was one of those bailed out by us taxpayers, got an 86 million dollar paycheck...

That’s 57-thousand plus in salary.....15 million in signing bonus...and 68 million in stock options.

We, the taxpayers gave Merrill Lynch more than 10 billion dollars back in October...

Am I the only one feeling like an all day sucker....We should change the name from the United States of America to The Lollipop Guild, because we definitely aren’t in Kansas, anymore

Ya’ll Done Lost Ya’ll Minds, Part 538

Who the hell wants a doll, that can take a dump? You heard me...They’re selling a doll this xmas that shits....It comes with its own special food of green beans and bananas to make it totally realistic for the little girl gifted with this creation. There is even a warning label on the box that says this doll may soil your furniture...because...sometimes it can “hold it” til it reaches the potty....but sometimes, it can’t...

I am absolutely convinced that this “toy” was created by a man, who never took care of his kids or had to change diapers.....

Every woman knows that the worst thing about babies is that they shit and throw up way too much....c’mon now.....

The weirdest thing about this story in today’s Washington Post...is that Baby Alive is flying off the shelves at 60-bucks a pop....

He Did it for Black People

Your outgoing President tells the Washington Times that he should be right up there next Martin Luther King, in the hearts of Black People, when it comes to civil rights. Dubya told the newspaper, this past weekend, that he only wanted to privatize Social Security because he had Black people’s well being in mind. He also said “no child left behind” was his way of helping Black kids learn more, so they can compete with white kids.

Oh....and you can thank him for paving the way for Barack Obama. According to Dubya, he is the reason America is soon to have its first Black president.

I can buy that. Just wished he hadn’t burned down the neighborhood before he invited the coloreds to move in....

Y2K Redux

The histrionics surrounding the world's switch to digital signal TV are reaching Y2K proportions. Trust me, the world didn't end with the change of the century, it won't end if you don't immediately plug in a converter box, if you need one. Look at it as an opportunity to discover...say....books, walks outside, playing in the snow, bird watching....

Don’t they Know When They’ve been Beaten?

The Huffington Post is reporting that Fred Thompson and Mike Huckabee are getting their own radio programs so they can talk about Obama all day everyday...Guess they didn’t get enough during this past election.

Condi Talk

Condoleeza Rice is talking a lot these days. Today she said that Barack may have no choice except to follow Bush’s lead when it comes to foreign policy....I guess not considering the corner that they’ve him painted into. That's why Hill is taking over. She's good at fighting out of tight spaces.

Folks are still trying to get Condi to admit who she voted for, in this past election....They’re assuming she voted with “her people.”

Cheney Unleashes

Big Dick is talking more in these last two months, than he has for the past eight years. He’s not saying anything special, just continuing to spew bigotry and misdirection type bullcrap...

The Dark Side lives, forever

A Xmas Song Sent to me from a Chicago Friend

SING IT ALL TOGETHER NOW KIDS.....
To the tune of "God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen"

Get packin', Rod Blagojevich
The state's in disarray
The Tribune wants you unemployed
At least by Christmas Day.
The TV pundits want your head
Could there be pay to play?
Oh, tidings of comfort and joy
Save Illinois!
Oh, tidings of comfort and joy.

Good riddance Rod Blagojevich
Your Elvis looks inane,
The Senate's mad, so's Lisa's dad.
You drive us all insane.
Our transit's broke, the state's a joke, The Tollway's one big pain.
Oh, tidings of comfort and joy
Save Illinois!
Oh, tidings of comfort and joy.

Good luck old Rod Blagojevich
The feds have quite a place.
Fitzgerald's poked his nose around
And if he has a case,
George Ryan's moving stuff around
Creating extra space.
Oh, tidings of comfort and joy
