Barack Obama doesn’t care about black people.
In Sesame Street fashion, the word of the day is “smote”.
Only $4.4 BILLION????? Stupid Japs. What LOOSERS! Go USA!!!
Banks are the new cell phone companies: There are no good ones; there’s just a sliding scale of suckage, and we can only hope we choose the one that sucks less than the others.
I think it’s rather amusing that banks didn’t like getting all probed and prodded in the gubbiment’s stress tests. It’s not like the gentle, considerate and unintrusive process I went through with my mortgage provider to get my NON sub prime mortgage.
You know where they store those FEMA trailers when they’re not in use? Arkansas.
You know what Arkansas doesn’t need more of? Trailers.
$34 billion here, $34 billion there; pretty soon you’re talking real money.
FEMA doesn’t need those trailers? Excuse me, Sarah, but those trailers are being re-purposed for their concentration camps. Watch Glen Beck once in a while and you’ll learn something. God!
2300 cases around the world. Haha! The good-old, regular flu kills hundreds of thousands of people annually. Worst. Pandemic. Evah.
No National Day of Prayer? All I can say is, thank God I’m an atheist.
National Day of Prayer Task Force? What’s next, a revival tent on the White House lawn? Come quickly Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse!
Did I miss the part where George Bush knelt in prayer with the Wiccans?
God damn God and his God-smite. Why won’t he just let James Dobson run the world, as we all know he should?
Why must everything to do with the auto industry be a race to the bottom or am I confusing that with the gay agenda the conservative are always ranting about?
I like my swine flu cooked over low heat with Dijon mustard and chopped gherkins.
Obama avoided the National Day of Prayer because he couldn’t decide to which deity to pray: G*d, Allah, Vishnu, the Flying Spaghetti Monster, or Corky the Flatulent Cat.
GOD DAMN AMERICA. Also.
All the Katrina refugees getting thrown out of their trailers are having a National Prayer Day of their own and praying that the Swine flu thing really is a Democrat plot started by Hillary Clinton to take peoples’ attention away from the Norman Hsu scandal. But if they’re patient, the government will give them free Toyotas, assuming that the bank stress tests just “sound” horrifying.
My wife is all up in my face this morning because her bank did better on the stress test than mine.
queeraselvis v 2.0: Corky the Flatulent Cat is flatulent.
WadISay: Tell her the lamest bank gets the biggest bailout.
The assholes bitching about President Obama not doing anything for the D. of P. weren’t going to let him speak at their ceremony anyway because he’s all for the baby-killing. Guess what, assholes — if a black man in America wanted to be treated like a second-class citizen he wouldn’t have gotten himself elected your president. So fuck off and take your Jesus abortion with you.
ChernobylSoup: Seriously, let the folks down in Nawlins keep the damn trailers, it’s going to cost exactly what they’re worth to move them anyway. If you want a shitload of trailers stockpiled in Arkansas, then build some more, right there. The unemployed construction workers there will appreciate the stimulus.
Wow, that smiting kind of tickled. You suck at smote jebus.
WadISay: if you had any sense you stop complaining and start begging for pity sex.
