Jeez, it seems like a crank-a-thon over here.
What to do? Assholes seem to be the rule, not the exception.
It's raining hypocrisy.

Here we have (in no particular order of stupidity): the Pope, Joe Biden, Barry's campaign spokesman, and the SEC.
Go!

QOTD1
"Have not money, the thirst for possessions, for power and even knowledge, diverted man from his true destiny?"
- Pope Benedict Sep 2008 in Paris

"Benedict blasted modern society's thirst for these new 'pagan' idols as a 'scandal, a real plague.' The pope urged the faithful to 'shun the worship of idols. Do not tire of doing good!'"
- AP story on the Pope

Hey PB (Pope Ben)... who's wealthier than the Catholic church Popey? Who's thirstier for possessions and power than the Catholic church? Cha.

And why is the Pope talking back-assward like Yoda? He he.

QOTD2
"That lack of charitable giving at that level of income would definitely be outside the range of what we say is normal"
- Some profossir nabob on Joe Biden's charitable giving, or lack thereof
Joe Biden released his tax returns for the last 10 years. He gave $300-something a year to charity. See some very funny blogs and news stories on this:
Please don't ask others to throw more money in the till if you're not. Right Joe?
Oh, speaking of which...

QOTD3
"It's time to be patriotic"
- Joe Biden on raising taxes... because paying more is the "patriotic" thing to do, by his logic
How does a guy say this and not get laughed off the stage?
We have a $3 trillion dollar federal budget.
THREE TRILLION DOLLARS!!!
And Barry and Biden want more.
What the F?

QOTD4
McCain is "... cynically running the sleaziest and least honorable campaign in modern presidential campaign history. His discredited ads with disgusting lies are running all over the country today. He runs a campaign not worthy of the office his is seeking."
- Barry's campaign spokesman on the McCain campaign
The whole notion of Barry changing things sinks deeper into oblivion every day.
Barry, you're as uncommonly common... extraordinarily ordinary. Good!

QOTD5
"The Securities and Exchange Commission, acting in concert with the U.K. Financial Services Authority, today took temporary emergency action to prohibit short selling in financial companies to protect the integrity and quality of the securities market and strengthen investor confidence."
- SEC halts short-selling, www.sec.gov/news/press/2008/2008-211.htm

Did you catch that... "integrity and quality"... he he. If you're going to lie, make it a whopper. "I did not have sex with that woman..."

So, the SEC changes the rules of the game, right in the middle, in the name of integrity.
I'm not in any hedge funds, but I can't imagine how it feels to be so screwed... oh well. Right?

QOTD6
"Is that guy drunk?"
- Ty

"Did that guy lose a bet"
- Ty
Both these Ty quotes, from separate days, are commenting on guys running outside in the pouring rain.

Ah, I'm not really cranky... and all these cranky quotes are from a bunch of days.
I'll wrap with a Cranky Bluebird for you.


Smile, dammit!
he he... yow, bill
