Captive American Blog Roundup 1/16/09
Just in time for the anniversary of the official enactment of Prohibition, new evidence has emerged that the CIA is still involved in drug smuggling. Even if it isn't running dope anymore, the damage the CIA has done to Americans' ability to trust their government is probably the biggest "dirty trick" it has ever played.
If you're one of the 47 million Americans who don't have health insurance, you might want to come to California and get yourself arrested the next time you get sick. Not only will you get free medical care, you can trim bonsai trees and do yoga while you convalesce!
In other news, one of the two major parties got burned by one of their own methods for freezing independents out of the electoral process. Captive American readers are smart! And Obama's inauguration planners should book Boyz 2 Men to headline the event because with all the former Clinton staffers coming back to government, it's already going to feel an awful lot like 1992.
Speaking of Obama and retreads in his government, a Democratic senator actually criticized the prez's pick for the number two job at the Pentagon because he worked for a major arms manufacturer. Ah, but will that senator back up her words with a "no" vote? Meanwhile, Obama's choice to run the Treasury might have forgotten to pay his taxes, but his real crime was letting yet another massive bank grow "too big to fail" and too greedy to succeed.
Speaking of taxes, big business lobbyists are nervous because one of the most liberal members of the House of Representatives might lose control of the country's tax policy. You'd think they'd be happy. But that's not how Washington works, people! Do you really think labels like liberal or conservative mean anything when there's millions of dollars in bribes, er, political contributions to be made? Come now.
Speaking of how Washington works, the capital and its suburbs are already among the richest areas of the country. But by the time the government gets done "stimulating" the economy with trillions more in deficit spending, D.C. could make Beverly Hills look like Hells Kitchen.
Speaking of fleecing er the American people, the mainstream media finally figured out that the insane surge in gas prices last year might not have been on the up and up. File that one under "D" for "duh!" and "T" for "Too little, too late."
Finally, speaking of not getting it, so-called economics experts STILL keep underestimating how bad things are. How long do experts have to blow it before, you know, they're not considered experts anymore?
