No this isn’t a new name for my Athens Banner Herald Column, but a seedy scandal involving good old John McCain that has a direct connection to the financial problems we are dealing with this week. Here is a quick recap of the scandal that I found on Huffington Post:

If you invent money and introduce it into an economy, that doesn’t matter (WRT impact on human lives) as much as where you insert it in the food chain.

It seems criminal (AS HELL!!!1!LOL) to bail out one class of debtors while throwing another class of debtors to the wolves.

If you give the bank monies in an amount equaling the cost of the defaulted mortgages, effectively paying off loans designed to fail, why can you not give the same amount of money to families in financial crisis with the stipulation that they use it to pay off their sub-prime home loans?

The bank ends up with the same amount of money either way, but fewer lives get ruined in the process (poverty kills, mofo!).

If I’m wrong, I’m wrong, but please, somebody splain this to me.

Oh right.

My bad.

A nation of happy, financially secure families creates conditions less conducive to the rise of fascism, and thus, is bad (for fascists).

Could I get another Long Island Iced Tea?

On September 5th, 2008, in Chicago, Illinois, a real party went down, and none of us were there to take part.  Why were we not alerted?  Why didn’t we think of this first?  Sure, we could get a drunk clown to hang out with us now, but it wouldn’t be the same.  It would just feel like leftovers, like a cheap copy.  For shame.
