Let’s face the facts; George W Bush is the worst president since Herbert Hoover.  Actually, he is probably the worst president of all time.  Georgie has taken a 1% surplus of GDP to a 2% deficit year after year.  He has gotten us into an unnecessary war in Iraq, has egged on the Iranians and his team did nothing concerning loose monetary policy during the housing boom.  This man has been nothing but trouble since he took office.  I can not believe that people voted for this idiot and that some (a very few) people still support this imbecile.

Why must we show faith in a president that can not even carry on a sentence with fumbling over his words?  I hope Barrack Obama is a better president than Bush; yet again the one legged dog next door would be a better president than George W. Bush. 

Antonio Villaraigosa is the mayor of the great city of Los Angeles and should keep his mind on his municipal duties instead of speaking about world events.  Yes, I agree with the mayor on his Middle East views concerning the Israelites and Palestinians. Yes, if a group of people were throwing rockets into my country I would also be pissed off and raise holy terror on them.  Mr. Vill has more local problems that should be on his mind such as balancing the city’s budget or keeping gang members in jail.  We must not get our noses where they do not belong. I can, you can, and even non-elected city employees have a right to speak their mind on world politics. But, not elected municipal officials. They took an oath to fulfill the needs of the people living in their domain. Not speak for them on world events. Do me a favor Mr. Villaraigosa and let me speak my point of view on my terms not yours.

Let’s leave the world politics to the professions like Mr. George W Bush. Shit, I just ruined my whole argument. Damn, when is Obama moving in?

I just seen Tropic Thunder starring Ben Stiller, Robert Downey Jr and crap load of other stars and I think it was one of the funniest movies of 2008.  Now, this movie should not be seen with a under 16 year old audience. Due to the foul language and violence I suggest you do not show this movie to kids.  But you will laugh your ass off at every corner from beginning to end.  Robert Downey Jr should be nominated for an Oscar for his portrayal of Kirk Lazarus. 

Make sure you keep an open mind and just enjoy the movie. It will help you get the news off your mind if only for a few hours. 

Notice I didn’t have the title read ‘Barack Obama our new black president’.  If Barack Obama is to lead this country he must lead as a man and not a black man.  Many people are bitching that a black man is now in the White House.  Well I say that Barack Obama is not black or white but an American with a shade of brown for skin color. Let’s investigate.  First, Barack’s mom was butt white so would that mean he’s Caucasian?  Of course we wouldn’t call him Caucasian.  Second, Barack’s dad is African so would that mean he’s black? Of course we wouldn’t call him black.  People say Barack Obama is black because that is what white

I can’t stand these people that are shouting and howling at the moon because they think a black man is in the White House. Only ignorant people believe a man’s skin color dictates a man’s character.  Barrack is a man, not a black man, not a white man but a mere man with great responsibilities.

ARE YOU FREAKIN KIDDING ME!! Ben Bernanke is a stupid son of a bitch if he thinks that lowering interest rates will help the economy. The only benefit of lowering interest rates will go directly in the commercial banks pockets.  Banks are not willing to take on more risk right now so they will continue to offer the same loans they are offering now but the banks will have less costs since they will borrow at .25% and make loans at 6-7%.  Why is the federal government giving money and benefits to industries that started this credit crisis?  We should be sending the top dogs at these companies to jail or at least put their faces on a website titled or in a major magazine “Deadbeat CEOs”.

If the banks do not lower their borrowing rates within two weeks the fed should then raise the interest rates up 50 points to .75% and let the banks make less profit.

Once again top dogs at Wall Street take advantage of investors to create personal gains.  News broke out today that former NASDAQ chairman Bernie Madoff set up a huge Ponzi scheme with loses which could hit up to $50 billion dollars according to The Economist.  For years Madoff has been paying the investment returns to investors not with real gains but with new investor money creating a huge pyramid scheme.  If it were not for Bernie’s ego the sham would still be continuing.  But clients and analysts got suspicious when Bernie’s fund was still creating positive returns in this troubled market. The government should make an example of this piece of shit a give him the maximum time for mail fraud and theft.

I don’t like President Bush, but does that mean he deserves not one but two shoes thrown at him doing a press conference? This act shows the difference between western and eastern civilizations.  A reporter has no allegiance, a journalist is only to report the news, not literally create the headlines.  The news station / newspaper in which this “journalist” is employed should apologize for their employee’s actions and fire the wanabee pitcher. 

I am not saying the eastern world is backwards I’m just saying it’s different from ours in more ways then one.  Hek, we our more closely associated with the Jews than the Muslims; at least Jews believe in Republican government representation.  We must stop trying to change the Muslims to be more like us because they can not be changed nor if they are happy living in their world we should not impose our will on them.  If the Muslims start blowing up civilian targets then we should impose our will on them, as we are doing in Afghanistan. 

Remember, the Muslim/Arabs/Persians were kings of the Middle East, Central Asia and Eastern Europe for more than 1000 years. I think they now get the point that people should not invade other countries for shits and giggles.  As the Arabs and Persians now realize, what goes around comes around.

Once again the unions are bringing down a US industry. The unions have been a burden on the US economy for more than forty years. These unions are greedy, lazy and unethical.  The US auto industry would be in good shape if union painters didn’t make $95k a year or machine operators take home six figure salaries.  I say the unions workers should take a pay cut to keep their jobs. I say “their jobs” because they sure as hell don’t care the company they work for.  We as Americans should not buy union products. But hek, just wait a few years and there will be know union shops left to create products.  I say damn the unions may the communist pigs burn.

I was extremely disappointed with the quality of Gucci’s signature collection canvas purse.  I bought this purse believing the higher the price tag the better quality I would receive.  I purchased my wife the Gucci purse for Christmas last year and quickly became her favorite purse even though the Burberry was 35% more expensive. My wife would only take out her Gucci when we would go out to dinner with our friends or out with her friends for lunches. And of course the day I tell her to use her Gucci purse while dining with our friends she noticed a hole in the fabric located between Gucci signature bands.  I must say we are very disappointed with the quality of Gucci.

On Saturday, December 6, 2008 my wife and I ventured to Costa Mesa’s South Coast Plaza Gucci store to verify if Gucci would stand by their product. To our dismay we were told that nothing could be done since the hole in the bag was not covered under Gucci’s repair policy. I have bought my wife several bags over the years including Coach, Burberry and Louis Vuitton which I have never had problems with their quality products. Gucci I believed was in that same category, sadly I was wrong.  My wife did not snag the purse on any bench or her belt as the sales rep at South Coast stated.  If you want to buy your wife a high “quality” purse then stick to Burberry or Coach.

There are two problems with the US auto industry. The first is that management has lost touch with reality and does not know what the American consumer wants in a vehicle. The second is what brought the auto industry down, the UAW.  Unions served their purpose doing the industrial revolution but lawyers now are able to represent workers that are treated unfairly.  The UAW is a burden upon the auto industry and will in the end bring it down.  The majority of the auto industry workers are highly overpaid, cry babies and lazy people. 

I worked for a union for five years and I was laid off even though I was one of the most highly productive employees.  I was picked along with my other productive colleagues only because the other union members had more seniority.  Other lazy workers kept their jobs only because they applied before me.  I did however receive 75% of my salary for four months until I found another career.  I would had found a job earlier but shit; I was getting paid to sit on my ass.  Just like my fellow union members still working for the auto industry.
