McCain Blames Obama for the Failed Bailout?

September 30, 2008 By: DaveStuff Category: Money, Politics 2 Comments →

The McCain camp says Obama infused debate with ‘necessary partisanship‘ as the bailout fails. Hmmm? Like Obama had anything to do with that mess. I suppose the Republicans are going to spin this great depression stuff on to the democrates somehow.

What the heck is partisanship anyways?

These banks , wall street and Bush economic polocies are crazy. I remember when bush did away with bankruptcy awhile back. Or, he made it harder and more expensive for us poor folks to file it…The credit card companies praised his work on this matter..

Around the same time I remember Bush trying to take my overtime away. Oh, he said I could work it… Just not get paid the time and 1/2. Lets just screw the hell out of us poor working people…Fortunately it didn’t pass the way he wanted it. I still get my overtime to be able to afford a cup of Starbucks once a week.

With this kind of crap going on I don’t see how McCain can win.. Right here at the end of Bush’s term we are going to hell in a handbasket. A financial crisis is at hand… No matter what Obama did or says.

So What’s up?
Most people see the banks getting what they diserve anyways for loaning money carelessly to people (like myself) who can’t afford to pay it back. Shame on me…

Maybe the government should hand over a few K to bail me out!

Ever on hold with the bank?

September 29, 2008 By: DaveStuff Category: Money No Comments →

I got some weird letter and check from my bank the other day… It’s talking about how I didn’t give them enough money on a line of credit. I was behind after getting laid off and other stupid decisions on my part.

I got the situation fixed
but then they sent me back a check for some amount that was paid earlier. (when i was really broke I sent them what I could)

The problem is the check is made out to my late wife. She has been gone for 3 years. I have told them this repeatedly but they just never seem to understand… Why does it have to be so complicated. I wish I could just pull the money out of there.

I went to a branch to get it sorted out and the gal who helped this hipster out was on hold for more than 30 minutes…They finally said they would re-issue the check in my name… Duh Er..That was easy.

She get’s paid by the hour…Good thing it was on her phone instead of my cell - Burning up my precious minutes. Lord have mercy…

The Gospel of Benny Hinn

September 28, 2008 By: DaveStuff Category: Culure 1 Comment →

In my ongoing quest to make enough money to survive I considered finding a job with a major TV ministry. I have believed the Bible for many years and thought that perhaps these guys could use an unskilled ex party animal junkie like myself to help further their cause.

They seem to generate a lot of capital so adding me to the staff somehow could help me get out of this self inflicted financial mess… (or ½ self inflicted, I had PLENTY of help getting there)

I thought of a good position for me…. I could be a “catcher” during the Benny Hinn rallies. You know… He’s the guy that is standing behind the person that faints from God’s awesome power when Benn waves his hand at them. They catch the person that is ’slain in the spirit’ I think that would be a good job for me because I know I ain’t gonna be falling down – ya dig?

Now where would I apply for a job like that?

Big Mac Special Sauce

September 27, 2008 By: DaveStuff Category: Culure No Comments →

That would be your 100,000,000,000 Island dressing.

The big mac supper club has been serving up these huge sandwiches for as long as I can remember… Billions and billions served. There just never is a better time to get some of that good stuff. Especially with the economy going out the window.

You can still get the Big Mac Value Meal for about 5 bucks… A family of 4 can eat for just a little over $20. Cheaper if ya got small kid’s getting the “happy meals” You may even have enouph left over to buy the crew some ice cream cones.

I know this isn’t everybody’s “friday nite out” but who can beat those prices. And that special sauce… It makes the burger distinctively what it is… A BIG Mac…. I’m LOVIN’ it!

Is McCain a Chicken Sh*t?

September 26, 2008 By: DaveStuff Category: Politics No Comments →

I heard on the radio today that the debate was on again… Apparently McCain was gonna chicken out or something… Is he afraid of that black dude?

I also heard that he backed out of being a guest on the David Letterman show. Man that old guy is a trip huh? He just can’t seem to get it together…

I gotta admit he did good getting that young hottie as his running mate however. That sure stirred up a lot of juice. It was a brilliant move. But with everything that George Jr has done in the past eight years has destroyed his chances of winning.

Please, What are your thoughts? What is he scared of?

Richard Wright of Pink Floyd - Dead?

September 25, 2008 By: DaveStuff Category: Music No Comments →

Richard wright was always pretty cool.. Under rated perhaps for his contribution to Pink Floyd.. I often enjoyed his vocals on early tracks like “summer 68″ and “remember a day”…

In fact his song “The Great Gig in the Sky” is actually my favorite song on the Dark Side of the Moon record…And the song rarely got any airplay…. It amazed me when I read that the singer on that track was a white chick.

His tickling of the piano like he did was usually amusing to me on the records. Along with his innovative organ and synthesizer playing fully contributed to the overall Pink Floyd style.
Richard… RIP You will be missed…

I need to check out the stuff he was working on with David Gilmore during his end days.

Open Source Office Rival’s Microsoft

September 24, 2008 By: DaveStuff Category: Culure No Comments →

Microsoft office is the undisputed king of office apps. Everyone and their dog uses it. It must also be the most pirated program in the world too. I am typing this blog using Open Office. Just because I am a poor guy.

Us poor people have to go with whatever we can get to try and get the same results as those rich guys who can afford $700 computer programs.

It’s a good thing there are programmers out there who realize that some of us folks just aint’ got that kind of capital to throw around… I have often wondered why those guys create these great programs for free….

Just for the fun and practice of it right?

Say now , what can a poor boy do? Except sing for a rock n roll band?
-Mick and the boys….
