GW Bush admistration still thinks it’s a Monarchy

Posted on September 21, 2008 | Comments Off on GW Bush admistration still thinks it’s a Monarchy

Shocking, isn’t it? From the NY Times:

WASHINGTON — The Bush administration on Saturday formally proposed a vast bailout of financial institutions in the United States, requesting unfettered authority for the Treasury Department to buy up to $700 billion in distressed mortgage-related assets from the private firms.

Specifically, this part:

Sec. 8. Review: Decisions by the Secretary pursuant to the authority of this Act are non-reviewable and committed to agency discretion, and may not be reviewed by any court of law or any administrative agency.

Let me ask: Is ANYONE (Other then Sen. McCain and the rest of the GOP) Dumb enough to think that this administration, A paragon of complete Incompetence, can be trusted? I mean, look at his record…

At the least, we need oversight to prevent this administration from simply squandering MORE of the United States Taxpayer Money. Is the Democratic Party so foolish to actually PASS that provision? I don’t know about anyone else, but I’m calling the offices of my Representative and BOTH senators.

Music I’m listening to now:
“So What” by Pink. You can see the video on VH1.

Karma in Action?

Hotel Room: $120 a night
Drinks: $20
War Mongering GOP Delegate robbed by a Hot Thief: Priceless

Normally, I’m sorry to hear about Anyone getting robbed, but in the case of Mr. Gabriel Schwartz, 29, (That’s him above) I’m thinking he may have been tempting fate. From Pioneer Press TwinCities.com :

He met her in the bar of the swank hotel and invited her to his room. Once there, the woman fixed the drinks and told him to get undressed.

And that, the delegate to the Republican National Convention told police, was the last thing he remembered.

When he awoke, the woman was gone, as was more than $120,000 in money, jewelry and other belongings.

The thief’s take stunned cops.

I bet it did. The first sentence read like a cheap romance novel but that is exactly what happened.

I read about this the week it happened, but just came across his interview (I think the unbuttoned Cowboy shirt and the Prada Belt was a Nice touch!).

I just have to wonder: Is he an example of Small Town Family Values I hear the GOP represent? He’s for more War (shocking!) and just taking other peoples resources. Looks like a lovely lady helped herself to his “resources”.

He’s so gung ho about going to war, I wonder if he’s willing to sign up in the Army?  At 29, I bet he’s healthy enough and frankly, the Armed forces could use more volunteers. His resume is pretty impressive too.

Music I’m listening to now:
“If I Never See Your Face Again“, by Maroon 5 with Rhianna from the “It Won’t Be Soon Before Long“ album. You can see the video here.
