XI: Bailout Continues

The government recently showed the status of the 700 million dollar bail out. As follows:
$250 Billion for the Banks
$40 Billion for American International Group
So the obvious question with these large sums of money is what's up with AIG & when am I going to get some green?
AIG has reportedly used this 40million to have a super expensive retreat n Dana Point, CA & a trip to England on a partridge hunt.
As for the american consumer, well help isn't exactly coming any time soon. We have to get in line behind the auto makers and basically every other private corporation. (Wait for Walmart they'll be they'll be there soon.) In the mean time if you haven't lost your job already, consider yourself lucky. American's jobless shot up to a 14 year high of 6.5% for Oct. So we look to the over site committies; unfortunately, for them and us it's a near impossible task. You can't give the corporation who are in a sense small governments large sums of money and know exactly what they are doing with it. Namely if the company knows its going under anyway contracts with the company are irrelevant. Might I suggest having contracts with each individual companies shareholder & executives; so if one of these individuals uses the funds for self greed then jail time or their personal funds are options for justice. (The problems with over site in general is that they really get data to late and that data could be corrupt. An on the ground task forces should be created to watch these mini governments going forward).

As we approach what must be the end of the way a free market is run let's think of structures to put in place: 1) corporations should never be allow to have so much control. This includes where & when they produce their goods. Its not regulation its safety. 20 Corporation should never have had the same rights as individuals 3) companies who create energy efficient ways of doing this in the us should be rewarded. 4) New types of worker safe industries should always be over promoted by the government. 5) we should cap how mush money individual executives make (they should never make more than God as they do now. I mean come on some make 1.7 million. What are you doing that's worth that much. Hire like 10 rich people to do one job.)

Hope Congress has some better insight today.

007-Quantum of Crappy Theme Songs or really another way to die.

So Bond is freaking amazing. I mean like so freaking amazing you feel tired when you leave the theater. It kicks so much ass, except for one small thing. The open theme song is the most horrible thing ever imputed into a movie. It's like worst than the last indian jones. The piece is called "Another Way to Die" which is so true. Alicia Keys and Jack White create a slow dead by music in what should have been an amazing piece. Don't get me wrong the music sounds kickass. That guitar deeply rocking in is amazing, but the voices on the track sound off key. Jack White has his usual voice, but when you add in Keys it just doesn't work. They clash so much it hurts my soul. To add insult to injury Key's interjects in the guitar solo with moaning that is a pitch of the guitar. I covered my ears in the theater till it was done. I suggested you hear the song just once before you see the film.

One last thing: Why is Jack White singing with Alicia Keys anyways. Just weird.



Take a listen.

This is page 39 of the Icon book. The icon book is designed to "Communicate around the globe." "Just point to one of the 2800 icons and make yourself understood." The images above is from the Travel Section. There is no commentary.

I think it means:
"Giants have stolen my car."

Volume X: HIM

HIM
Ben’s Chronicle 

We’ve got our weapons right here, right here, right here
Got our sites set on you, what do you do, how do you choose
If you don’t want to live in fear, in fear, this is fear
We’ve got to mobilize ourselves, ourselves, in this hell

We’ve waited such a long time
It’s never the wrong time to do what’s right
It’s time we draw our verbal swords
And declare a civil war

I woke up this morning and everything had changed
It was rearranged by just one name
He had a skip in his step, but for the world he wept
He wanted difference and something called...
Change
Change
We all must change

We’ve wounded the Gods
And now it’s time for the plan
We are the free ones
The Revolution has begun

He spoke from inside and had a gleam in his eye
He reminded me of why we try
He said hope is the word and the way
And together we are not...
Afraid
Afraid
We are not afraid

Got a fist for a hand
The revolution has come
Got 71 more days
I said the revolution has come

No more darkness
We’ve got a leader with a light
(He’s) Got a voice, that cuts through the night
Justice he’ll procure
And we will endure
It time we fight
We Fight
And Fight
It’s time to fight

If you don’t want to live in fear, in fear, in fear
We have to mobilize ourselves, ourselves, ourselves

VOlume X:

I think I woke up and I was somewhere else. Times had changed and for at least one issue I put down my fist of rage. I think we all are beyond happy that we succeeded in taking back our country. Now that we have someone who isn't completely insane in office we can start to make a better America- An America that has more than a two party system. One that elects judges cause they are fair and just., not because they are our friends. It will take all 8 years to get it done.

Voted BarAck Obama: 64,975,682
Voted John McCain: 57,118,380

There are still 46% of us who are completely crazy. Over the next 4 years we have to take some time to change their minds. For today we should rest, soon we will have to fight even harder.

"The world has always been this good, but it also has been this bad. Change comes with a whisper and with a trumpet."

Volume X: Night before

"When there is the darkest of hours...
may a beacon be shown through the fog...
May the waves of fate guide you...
away from the deadly rocks ...
and bring you safely home."





"Tomorrow no matter what the revolution begins.
May it start with a leader & not a flame."
