I wonder just how much the value of Manchester United’s blue kit has fallen since AIG demonstrated their worthlessness:
The Korean proprietor of our local dry cleaners pointed to his Man U jersey today, right at the AIG letters, and said “No good!
In his notes on today’s theft bailout hearings Mike Nizza says in the 9:51 segment:
It may come as no surprise that the world’s greatest deliberative body is expressing a bipartisan feeling against rushing things too fast.
The rest of the world is really in deep doodoo if the us congress is the world’s greatest deliberative body.
Perhaps it is. It is also an abject failure at everything but serving its masters and its masters are not the people.
The british parliament is good at serving its masters as well but at least it gives us the prime minister’s Questions.
Well, of course, the folks who created them in the first place:
The ruling class is the state. The state exists to serve the interests of the ruling class, and only the interests of the ruling class. They may promise you greater unemployment benefits, better health care, and a host of other government benefits — all benefits also paid for by you, please note (the ruling class does have a sense of humor, after all; vampires are often crudely funny creatures) — and those promises will cause most Americans to fall for the con still one more time.
Whatcha gonna do? Not a goddamned thing. Vote for McCain! Vote for Obama! It doesn’t matter. The ruling class wins either way. The ruling class always wins. That’s how the system was designed, and that’s how it works. For the ruling class, it works very admirably.
