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).

for just a few measly bucks you can pick up a super smart Obama shirt and at the same time contribute to the Obama campaign. Did you know that? Seriously, no joke. Just click HERE and pick one (or more) up today!! The future (and your torso) will thank you!

So, this is just a rumor, but that’s what blogs are for, right?

I hope this stays a rumor, honestly. True, both companies philosophies do go pretty well together, but one of the things that makes Valve so damned awesome is their true independance, in both the business and creative sense. They do what they want, how they want, and nobody tells them otherwise. They have been very successful with this. If Valve wasn’t Valve, we might not have the amazingness that is Portal. The Half-Life series, sure, you can always sell a game about shooting zombies and aliens. But, without their independence, there’s very slim chance they could have gotten a game published featuring a cube with a heart on it as a central character.

If it does happen, however, will Gabe Newell refer to google as “Our Benefactors?”

Also: Voogle? Galve? Goolve? Vaggle?

…

Vaggle.
