and i don't have to listen anymore to all that crap about "America being such a Banana Republic, that even in economics they don't know their a.. from their head anymore - And when i get my Bananas at our Greek grocer i don't have to listen anymore to his rants, that we are even worst than Greece with our corrupted, lying and pandering politicians because now i'm able to quote the big B saying: "I understand completely why people would be skeptical when President Bush called for a blank check to solve this problem. There will be time to punish those who set this fire, but now is not the time to argue about how it got set or did the neighbor...leave the stove on, Right now we want to put out that fire...
And isn't that great - because i know absolutely nothing about economics - i only know
this dude in New York, who worked for Lehman and got so filthy rich in the last four years, that he deserved to lose his job - not because he got filthy rich - but because he turned into such a totally preposterous asshole - and i also know a lot of dudetts and dudes in Orange County who hang out at Carusos and sold a lot of houses to some Mexican strawberry pickers and they thought it was kind of funny (not the Mexicans) and may their souls burn
in hell (not the Mexicans) and that's the great thing about being completely ignorant about economics - i really honestly allowed to say i don't believe Perlstein - and Bush - and Paulson and Roubini and Glenn and most of you gals and guys - because most of you probably know as much about the issues as our Greek Banana grocer - and he knows a lot
because he always says in economics have very little to do with the Orthodox church - and so i came to the conclusion they should have very little to do with some kind of right or left wing ideology - so could you please stop that partisan s....
could you please stop that IGNORANT s...!
don't stop it - just don't wake up the dead - you know since we have won (the good guys)
and THE OTHERS (the bad ones) are lying in their graves - don't wake them up with too much gibberish (like 'ruling class') - if you have seen 'Sean of the dead' you might know what i am talking about - The others might get out of their graves (can you imagine - Bush) and they might rise again and bite us young ones (as if not enough of us want to become investment bankers already) and then we suddenly will walk around like the rest of you Zombies!
The horror - the horror! and i really miss Derbig - where are you dude?
your exchange is definetly the most constructive unconstructive work of words on this threat so i would like to make you honorary members of the gaga (not dada) society (but only if you don't do anything about it) and i really miss Derbig - where are you dude?
- and the whole time i thought we screwed the rest of the world - How could i be so ignorant!
if a British comedian would answer you it probably would go like that:... after the Americans sold all these high grade structured strategy enchanted leverage funds to the world they declared bankruptcy and than the world got really pissed - because you can not tell the world there are all these high graded echanted leverage funds and if it wants the promised cut - (after the unemployed American black man - the American mortgage broker - the American banker and his wife - the American Valet at the Waldorf - and the waiters at Sardis and Marcusos) - you can not just tell them to f...of (sorry - that's what an American comedian probably would say) and if Mr. Paulson is not paying up (at least some of the debt) - the world might get even more pissed - and i know you probably don't care a flying f... if the world gets pissed but i have a lot of friends there - so please sing with me: We are the world - We are the people...
to give you some of the 'human perspective' which would help the singing - there is this very small and cute waterworks company somewhere in the South of Germany and everything was okidoki and then one day they got hit by Wall streets weapons of mass distruction and now they can not pump even the water anymore for the cute farmers and their daughters - and should Paulson not at least pay these cute people (they are cuter than Palin) or are you such
a heartless monster that you won't sing with me?!
- there is this clear-eyed Esel (donkey) somewhere in the woods of Bavaria and the story goes that one day he encountered two big piles of hay at the same time and i thought i could leave him with that - to first examine and then eat and i know - you know what is coming - because
you are smart - this Esel died of hunger - and i know it is a stupid 'Parabel' and if i take it back and i tell you it has absolutely nohing to do with your comment - will you sing with me: We are the world we are the people?
