Rumsfeld and Cheney Conversation

Don: Looks like Obama and AG Holder want to come after us for torture.

Dick: That's graitude. After making the country comfy for blacks by destroying our education system and banning critical thinking among white students now they want to preach morals to their betters.

Don: That's irritating. Torture? How about 40 years of political correctness torture? All are equal? What a crock. What's George think?

Dick: I havn't told him what to think yet.

Don: He's writing a book?

Dick: Now that's torture. 

Don: How's your heart Dick?

Dick: What are you getting at?

Don: Fight political correctness with political correctness. You know. Get a wheelchair. Strap an oxygen bottle to it. Be escorted by some uniformed contractors. Try to look like Lord Nelson did. Sling your arm. Wear an eye patch. Get sympathy form congress and the American people. Turn in your bird shooting guns. Kick a Jew and then embrace the same Jew. You know something for everyone. Broaden out.

Dick: How about me being a witness for the prosecution?

Halliburton & Citigroup: Poor Results For Their Greedy CEOs

Halliburton and Citigroup are stocks that symbolize the criminal greed of the past 8 years. Halliburton represents war for profits. Dick Cheney was its CEO before he was sworn in as Veep in 2001. Using his position of power and the life-long relationship he had with Secretary Of Defense Donald Rumsfeld, Halliburton was awarded no-bid contracts in Afghanistan and in Iraq. I think the war in Iraq was largely for Halliburtons benefit along with other war for profit companies.

How did the stock do in these past 8 years ? Well Halliburton was trading at $19.00 when Cheney was sworn in and now the stock trades at $16.00. So after 4200 American lives, app. 1,500,000 Iraqi lives, 2,500,000 displaced Iraqis and app. $750,000,000,000 and counting in war expenditures and 2 or 3 adjustments to asshole Cheney's heart regulator the stock is down app. 16%. How stupid can some monkeys be?

And then there's Citigroup. Under the direction of former CEO Sanford Weill who took the reins in 1998 when the stock was trading at $25.00 Weill used his connections and money to repeal the Depression- era Glass-Steagall Act which mandated a seperation of stock brokers and insurance companies with banks. The Wall Street meltdown is directly traced to the repeal of this Depression-era firewall banking act. Citigroup's stock was trding at $25.00 when Weill slid in to power. Now Citigroup trdes at $ 8.50. That's almost 60% less in value.

A quiet retirement for these 2 assholes is not what they deserve.

Dick Cheney Fights Whale Protection

Just when you think your opinion of Vice President Dick Cheney couldn't sink further . Up jumps Cheney's executive blocking of a National Oceanic And Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) regulation to protect right whales from sea collisions. The ship-operators lobby got Cheney's ear on the topic and asked him to use his executive authority to block the regs implementation. He has for a year and at least 3 more right whales have died because of being rammed by ocean-going ships and numerous other whales have been mangled by the vessels propellers. Right whales are extremely endangered with only 350 left after a very slow recovery from near extinction 100 years ago.

Simply the new regulation would require ships that are in right whale waters to reduce speed by app. 40% to 10 knots until they are out of whales locale. It's like cars slowing down in a school zone. The ship owners lobby say their costs of operation will go up because of the reduced speed. So The Dick's office is quoted ,"We had no evidence that lowering speeds of "large ships will actually make a difference". Arrogance and callousness thy names are Dick Cheney.

It's too bad this asshole is still alive. And not even endangered. It's easy to determine where he lives. Its' the pixelated Google maps in Northwest Washington at the Naval Observatory or his second home in St. Michaels, Maryland. Rumsfeld also lives in St. Michaels. Hey while in the neighborhood, why not stop by?
