I was just watching USA cable TV this morning, all about the USA auto industry asking for yet ANOTHER $21.6 billion dollar bailout on grounds tycoon executives, robotic plants, and tycoon investors have less and less customers and need a handout to maintain lifestyles of the rich and famous anyway; then, came President Obama in a news conference about his plan to save those in danger of mortgage default.

 

Sounds good at first...those still having income can get mortgages lowered in a variety of ways, and stay en suite as long as they pay.

 

Problem: plan specically leaves out anyone yesterday, today, or tomorrow who has lost or will lose their job...per Lou Dobbs inter alia, this is a very hefty number of folks already, and given that the Obama plan encourages even more home construction over commercial/workplace construction, together with fact most malls in America STILL have more vacancies than tenants as wages STILL slide lower for the still-employed, it appears the progress of Rapture-like march to just 144,000 Elect is likely to continue. If you're Elect today, can you see ANY reason(s) to suspect that soon YOU could be dis-employed with puzzlingly just more houses coming after you, too?

 

I mean, even California today said it's laying off 10,000 government workers, and Firestone tires is reportedly shedding 5,000 jobs...the beat goes on. Let's hope Obama isn't ala George W. Bush in 2001: "I was just a-fixin' the economy, it was ju' a-goin' good agin, when pesky 911 and then EyeRack happent!", and that Obama Solicitor General Elena Kagan wasn't just mentally doodling re saying the USa and its States and Towns may indefinitely detain anyone with torture to boot as long as somebody CLAIMS you're a terrorist..."hey, stick an armful or two of passersby in a cell with a death-threatening actual criminal arrestee, torture the bejeezus out of all but the actual one, everybody eventually hates you on different grounds but at least now they ALL sound like the real thing...ooohhhh, boss Barack, methinks I have a solution to the pesky GITMO and what-to-do-with-unemployed-mortgage-lossers issues!".

 

Because when that sort of doodle becomes (or remains) policy, as Ahnold's new State firings show, even we Repubs and traditional Conservatives are at risk tomorrow if not today.

 

In other political hijinks:

 

We all know that Gov. Blagojevich had to resign for whatever was so unusual even today in all parties everywhere; ditto, now that it occurs the FBI couldn't connect dots in its own vetting in re Roland Burris and now somebody yaps about him, Gov. Quinn and IL Attorney General Lisa Madigan are tossing Roland Burris to the dogs because US Attorney General Scott Fotzgerald ordains A) the only thing Americans care about is vetting the tiniest skidmarks in the shorts of Illinois Democrats, otherwise they are satisfied completely and expect nothing more from government, and B) absolutely the slightest whiff of impropriety is grounds to end the political life of anyone, whether or not a Court says so.

 

Wherefore, I respectfully submit that the Congress raise a nationwide call for GOP Alaska Governor Palin to resign forthwith, insofar as USA media are reporting her ding for tax evasion. A skidmark is a skidmark is a skidmark, is it not, and who but a Rapturist would even suggest Palin be treated differently than any Illinois official?

 

Alternatively, perhaps we could all agree such bipartisan skidmark competition at best needs to take a back seat to all of us working together to best serve the conservative "daily bread" needs of the very democracy and its diverse populations we all claim to love so much, and further in such ways that we respect God's call to reasonable progressive, free brotherhood of humanity...be our faith Islam, Christianity, Judaism, Buddhism, Hinduism, or anything else including non-theist Stoicism.
