The Death of Direct Sales

Ya know, I don't give a good XXX damn how many rich right-wingers I piss off.

And I don't care how hard ol' Jimbo worked at Lehman. He and his ilk produced nothing of value, and were (and continue to be) nothing but leeches living off those who do and make what is necessary.

(Remember Enron? Literally disappeared overnight. Any of your lights dim? Any brownouts? Any power shortages? I thought not. All that lovely group of people did was skim off the top of every cent paid for energy, while adding or producing absolutely nothing. And when they disappeared, there wasn't even a power blip.)

Jim and his ilk certainly did cause this crises.

And if their stock options have become worthless as a result, it couldn't happen to a nicer bunch of fellas.

And, BTW, I'm quite a bit poorer, too, these days. My academic retirement plan is invested in the market.

But, first of all, it will come back. And if this is the price I have to pay to get the damn Republicans out, it's well worth it. Jeff and I agree on one thing: the meltdown is the Democrats 9/11. Now it's our turn to ride the wave of fear.

That, and the fact that under a Democratic administration, the budget will be balanced again, ought to keep us in power for quite some time.

Better get used to it.
