Just some thoughts that have wandered through my mind.
Did ya ever think you see the day when a bunch of old white dudes claim that they were being discriminated against? Hello? The quote is: "I would hope that a wise Latina woman with the richness of her experiences would more often than not reach a better conclusion than a white male who hasn’t lived that life."
Clue fairy hit old white boyz – she’s right. As a matter of fact, I think most women would reach better conclusions than you narrow minded old white dudes.
Who elected these guys? Nevermind Richard Shelby – any village missing their idiot …he’s in Washington DC. Go get him please. PLEASE!
I love the congressional hearings on closing the automotive dealerships. Yeah, it totally sucks, but WTF? The car co’s have to cut back – in case you haven’t noticed, NO ONE is buying cars. Again, hello? Now, you notice that your constituents are getting screwed? Woot! Really? Are they bitching big time to you now? Afraid you won’t get elected next time because they won’t be pouring money into your re-election campaign? Well, duh. Maybe you shouldn’t have held the domestic automakers feet to the fire back during their hearings and coughed up more money for them instead of the banks and good ole AIG.
And, while I’m on the subjects of the banks – the domestic automakers are trying to be transparent and tell the US what they are doing. They actually have a website up – GM Reinvention . Go check it out. Hell, we own most of it so you should. I see that AIG has a few blurbs on their website. But what about the banks? Looks to me that they just took the money and guess what? We have heard nothing from them. Glad they are enjoying our $$$. Twits.
Had a tasty little conversation with my mortgage company, Bank of America yesterday. I thought I would just give them a nice little call and say, hey, I wanna refinance this loan. Whatcha got? My loan is a 30 year fixed at 6 percent something and I was thinking .. just lower it a tad and I would be happy, after all, I have paid that puppy religiously for many years. So, I get this cute sounding little stud muffin on the phone and we start chatting. The bottom line is, I can’t refi because GUESS WHAT – my house comp is too low. Well, yeah… right? Why do you think I’m calling, cute little studmuffin? I found out that my loan is a Fannie Mae but that still isn’t helping. I’m kinda pissed off about this one. Am musing my options. Maybe if I’m not too busy tomorrow I might call Fannie Mae and say WTF? And, then, maybe write a buncho letters to those shitheels in Congress and raise a little hell. Why not?
Other thought patterns…I liked Obama’s speech in Cairo today. He rocked it. You go, First Dude.
I watched the ABC (was it ABC?) special on what it’s like in the White House. Check it out. Can you imagine all that stuff going on in such a small space? I think the press secretary (Gibbs?) seems like a cool guy. But I would have to bitchslap Rahm Emanuel. I’ve worked in offices all my life and pissers like that need a whack upside the head now and then. Sort of like what Gibbs does on NCIS. Attitude is everything, Rahm baby, and he needs an adjustment. I don’t care how cool you think you are, you ain’t that cool.
So, that’s it for today. Aren’t you happy? Ha! Not your usual Mommy Blogger post, eh? Hell, I’m an old Mommy Blogger. We need a different name, I think.
