Rant for September - Recession makes you strong

[alanheath]

I don't believe in posting video risponses that have nothing to do with the subject but this shows the level of intelligence of some Republicans.

Would you do Sarah Palin if you didn't have to like marry her after?

[alanheath]

I would not at all - she is not my type. But even if she were, I would have the good sense to use contraception.

Just goes to show I am a sexist pig.

Davey, the bailout is in the Trillions, or as Paulson said it, unlimited. Its not a recession, when the top investment banks disappear in front of your eyes, you've gone beyond that. Mr. LaRouche was ahead of you in his warnings of this mess.

[usenetposts]

Dear Drew, the bailout will hit the trillions if it starts at a 700 billion package. After all, once you reward businessmen for failure, it's not hard to figure out what will happen. Politicians, many of which are innocent of how the world even actually works, are going to turn your lovely country into a marginalised and second-tier economy. Others may have got in early with warnings, I never said I was the first. Either we believe in the invisible hand or we don't, and now is the test of faith.

[alanheath]

If home owners are not going to lose their properties if they fail to pay, then they won't pay back the loans. That is clear. I won't pay for example!

[alanheath]

I turn the television or computer off when I hear the word recession.

The Bush plan - which I agree with - has forced me to reconsider my opinion towards nationalisation.

[usenetposts]

It is the capitulation of top-tier business to public sector intervention. It is a complete surrender of Homo sapiens faber to Homo sapiens fiscus, not that bankers were ever fabers in the first place, but they have handed over all business now to the state controllers. Now is the time to reject government help and not go cap in hand for it. The only one coming out of this with any credit is McCain.

[alanheath]

Although pretty neutral, I would have been likely to have voted for McCain (assuming they give me the vote between now and election day that is)

However given some of the really silly comments put on by what I assume to be Republicans on my Sarah Palin video - which is only in favour of sex education to avoid teenage pregnancy - then I am swinging the other way!

[usenetposts]

I'll tell you what, it's not fair that we don't get any say in the election of the person who, unless the bailout goes ahead, could remain the most powerful man in the world. I think we should unethically leverage our YouTube franchises by each of us asking those of our American fans who don't have an opinion of their own to vote our way, you can ask for Democrat, I'll ask for Republican, and we'll see which of us wins the American election. Whoever loses buys sushi, deal?

[alanheath]

The problem is that I am as a rule a person of the liberal right and I might yet change my mind. I am well cheesed off with these idiots calling me sexist because I think people should get married before having children and certainly that teenage pregnancy is wrong.

I am not certain that the bail out is right - of course I am deeply in it with four large mortgages and around GBP3k to find each month.

As for the sushi that sounds OK but that will need the bail out to go ahead first.

[usenetposts]

This is it, you are a bit exposed, but hopefully all will be OK with the mag. If anyone has an advertising budget please go to alan's home page and see if his leading edge packaging industry magazine is a good investment for you!

[alanheath]

Yes, please remember one full page advertisement will cover all my mortgages and leave enough to pay my telephone bill as well!

Shanah tovah, chaver.

[johnheroine]

хорошо! do you listen to Ukranian gypsy punk band, Gogol Bordello? they say " there were never any good old days. They are today; they are tomorrow," which goes along with some of what you were saying, I think.... I know in America, everyone is so desensitized, they are in a constant state of forgetting...

[uptodat]

Wow! Hence the expression about "rant till you are blue in the face".

Wideranging infotainment as ever.

Good luck in resolving the theft.

Perhaps I should prepare a ducking stool to scientifically assess Sir David Teedie's culpability.

Don't lots of us think that the hubris of the merchant bankers etc (rhyming slang) warrants a dose of nemesis rather than a tax payer funded bail-out and restoration of bonuses?

[usenetposts]

What worries me is that the ones who were more prudnt in not buying subprime and not paying huge bonuses are now going to be punished because they will not be helped and their competition will be. I'm reminded of how Britain was punished at the end of the war by being left out of the Marshall Plan. That was a punishment for the sweet injuries of having given the US their language and the starting block for the bulk of their culture.

[Odanrot]

History repeats it's self it was bound to happen again.

[usenetposts]

Now more that ever, now that bad managers get extra rewards from government (that is to say, your pocket) for their failures. Expect the future to hold more and more recession if these interventionist bail outs go ahead.
