The guys who drove AIG to the point where they needed your money to survive would like you to know how grateful they are and that they’re spending it wisely to ensure they don’t need any more of your money in the future.

Just kidding. They’re handing out $165 million in bonuses to their derivatives traders – the ones who put them into this situation. For their part, the government is doing everything it can to try and stop these bonuses from being paid. We taxpayers are, after all, the largest shareholder in the company. Surely there’s something we can do , right?

Personally, I’m recording the testimony of AIG’s CEO so I can get some popcorn and watch him squirm. I really hope he tries to defend the bonuses – comedy gold in the making.

America COOL Open Government

Today’s champion of open government: Fox News?!?!?

Actually Fox Business Network.

The network filed a FOIA request to see where exactly our tax dollars (and our kids’ and our grandkids’) are going. Due to a little heal dragging on the part of the Treasury Department, Fox sued them to force them to release the data, including details such as what “toxic” assets were purchased, any collateral involved, and any restrictions put on the use of the money.

Kevin Magee, Executive Vice President, FOX News commented, “The Treasury has repeatedly ignored our requests for information on how the government is allocating money to these troubled institutions. In a critical time like this amidst mounting corruptions and an economic crisis, we as a news organization feel it’s more important than ever to hold the government accountable.”

So there you have it. The journalistic crusaders at Fox have shown today that every once in a while,  they do something right. Here’s hoping they win.

Jesus was a FREE Market Capitalist – Who Knew?

Gotta love it when neo-conservative theocrats write letters to the editor and misinterpret our founding fathers;

In plain English, our unalienable rights are endowed by our Creator (God), and it is the responsibility of our government to protect these rights.

No, our rights are endowed by us. God gave us our own brains and thoughts to govern ourselves. Individulism and independence is the backbone of a FREE society. Faith is an important facet of that, but it is only one rung in the ladder.

Christianity does not corrupt men; men corrupt Christianity.

Yeah, detective, that’s what we like to call Hypocrisy. It’s pretty prevelant, but does not affect my American Freedom one single damn bit.

Freedom is the result of democracy.

No Shit?! Thanks for the insight.

Christ is freedom’s father. Government’s confiscation of personal and financial freedom is the byproduct of socialism.

Jesus was actually a socialist (you know, helping your fellow man, etc. etc.). He warned us of the money changers, didn’t encourage us to be them. He got up in their shit, and wrecked their house and such.

I think you better throw away your current bible and pick up the King James version, it explains all of this in great detail, really.
