Alan Greenspan Was Tortured By Committee Head


Today in Washington, the Financial Crisis Inquiry Committee did not welcome the ex-head-of-the-Fed. No folks, Alan Greenspan was tortured by committee head Phil Angelides. Good old Phil by the way is a former state treasurer of California so THAT REALLY MAKES HIM AN EXPERT! Geez people!
Sure the Auto Czar Obama wants to find out what happened to our economy so why not start with the ex-Federal Reserve head, Alan? Makes sense right? Not if Phil intended to torture the man!
While Alan Greenspan did a good job of defending himself by saying I was right 70% of the time, Phil pointed out, "so you were wrong 30% of the time right?" Lord!
When Greenspan pointed out that the Federal Reserve had no enforcement power, good old Phil said, "Would you put this all under the category of 'oops', you should have done it?" Does this former California State Treasurer have a brain? I don't think so folks.
It sort of reminded me when Bobby Kennedy was sure and certain that the mob killed his bro Jack so he created his own committee to drill the mob. If you're old enough you can remember those black and white shaky television screen images of Bobby yelling and torturing, never allowing the little Italian mob guy to even answer one question. That's power people!
Does Phil think he has the same power? I'm not sure but Alan Greenspan was tortured by this committee head and Phil, you need a Xanax!
Well Spring is here folks and I for one am glad. A big reason why I'm glad is that it will be a long time until I get my November issue of Vanity Fair and it's 100% guaranteed that a Kennedy will be on the front cover. Wow, can't wait!
Unless people, like good old Phil has his way, maybe he'll make the cover, finger pointing, shouting and all! A Bobby double....how sad!

Christopher Hitchens: Wow People!


Wow People! I have received some interesting comments on my YouTube video "Christopher Hitchens Should Go Back to England!"
If you know jeanlovesyoulongtime you know that Chris, seen here, is not one of her favorites. I guess I began to dislike him when he decided to rent a little red Corvette and travel Route 66. Since jeanlovesyoulongtime lives in New Mexico when Mr. Hitchens' story came out in Vanity Fair Magazine about his travels, he was down right rude about the people who lived in Gallup, especially the Native Americans. And to imagine that a nationally known magazine would let him call them such deadbeats who sell their wares at every business stop, was just not nice. No sir! What makes him better than anyone else except his own interpretation of his God-like complex!
Well, I didn't buy Mr. Hitchens' last book, "God is Not Great," and I don't really care to read his memoir: "Hitch-22" (title kind of stolen here from Joseph Heller I think who wrote Catch 22). I really can't imagine anything nice this man could say about anyone but himself so it's probably better he does write a memoir instead of another blasphemous book!
Chris is an atheist and loves to talk about it with his good friend Bill Maher. Actually last Friday on Real Time With Bill Maher, Chris and Bill chuckled about the Catholic faith and made fun of something they don't believe in, sort of like two idiots talking about something they know nothing about. If we would have thrown Glenn Beck in there we could have had three stooges!
I don't like the way Hitchens and Maher continue to talk about all Catholic priests being pedophiles either. I mean don't most of you think pedophiles think becoming a Catholic priest would be the perfect job? The priesthood does not turn men into pedophiles folks, it's the other way around. And I'm sure there are plenty of Rabbis and Ministers of other faiths that love little boys too.
What does Hitchens know about churches and faith anyway? He is originally from England and we all know how their church came about. When Henry VIII couldn't marry the gal he wanted he said screw the Pope and came up with the Church of England-- run by a monarch. And Chris says Church and State should ALWAYS be separated. Perhaps he needs to look at his homeland before he makes fun of other churches and religions.
To top that off, I don't think Christopher Hitchens can appear on television without a drinky poo or two or many. You can tell by his wobbly appearance and he engages in public speaking a lot so I don't think it's nerves.
Last Friday when Chris appeared on the Real Time With Bill Maher on HBO, he was wearing an Irish Flag pin. What? I know, I thought the same thing people! Good old Chris was probably still celebrating St. Patrick's day and the brew it traditionally brings.
I guess it's OK for Hitchens to believe in St. Patrick, I mean after all, it's just another day for the dude to drink! What can I say? Christopher Hitchens? Wow People, Wow!
