Sell Out

It has been suggested that if i want anyone to read my blog that i would have to be less serious and talk about happy things that people want to read about. At first i dismissed this completely because i refuse to pander to "the market" and give people what they want, i mean i'm not NBC or a Washington politician right? But then i realized that i'm far too serious and that all the world really needs is some entertainment.
So i'm going to give it a try, please leave a comment and let me know how i did because i'm waaay out of my element here.
I think that it's great that JP Morgan/Chase made $140 billion in profit in the third quarter, i really think that even though people don't have jobs and there are millions of people not paying their loan payments and people all over the country are struggling to make ends meet it makes complete sense that a lending institution would make massive profits and furthermore i think that it is a sign that the entire economy must be rebounding and really a beacon of hope for all of us. I completely dismiss any one who says they found a way to cook the books and that sooner or later the other shoe will drop and the financial market will completely crash as a result of it. It just makes perfect sense that a lending institution that is not lending any money or collecting on old loans would have massive profits. It's the American way, like those fine citizens at Enron and MCI Worldcom from days past.
Oh, i'm also super excited about the fine job our elected representatives are doing in congress with the health care legislation. Now that they all agree that health care reform is necessary (where did that come from) they're just hammering out the details. I for one think the public option would be great, i would much rather a bureaucrat tell me that i'm not covered after waiting in a really long line then waiting on hold on the phone and having a minimum wage insurance conglomerate employee tell me. It would just be better don't you think? Also i'm glad that congress is doing such a great job representing the insurance companies and the AMA ... we want to be sure that the people who made our health care system really expensive and profitable while not treating sick people have some input in the new system, we can't change things ... i mean we're going to change it ... no we're not ... yes we are. At least they all agree that we're going to have more taxes, so that's bipartisan.
As far as the war goes i just know that we're winning and that's great too. I'm sure in a matter of months that the Iraqis and Afghan people will be voting for their leaders and peacefully watching while those leaders make decisions that hurt them and help huge corporations get richer just like we do here.
So, Dancing with the Stars is great, isn't it?
I mean, talk shows with audience give aways?
I mean, ESPN Sieben -Spielen auf Deutsch?
I mean, ESPN 9 - Juhydfhdhf Jsdhfjfkf
So, okay, everything is good and only getting better, one of these mornings you're going to wake up and the government and business leaders are going to have this thing fixed, everyone is going to have a job again and free doctors and lower taxes and be safe and they won't mess it up again by being the Mr Magoo of long term vision or incredibly greedy. What ever you do don't try to do anything or point out the failures of the entire system, just be quiet and wait. It's all going to be ok. The people who came up with the idea of fixing an over extended lending system by getting them to lend more money and the people who figure that foreign bombs are better than domestic tyranny have it all under control. I know i'm sleeping good tonight!
