Smelly Robot

Apparently Steven Colbert doesn't have a Twitter account, so I got to wonder where he's tweeting. On the other hand, I've got to get me a simultube.

Protesters on Wall Street disapprove of the government's bailout of the financial system.

What's important is we return short term credit to the market so business, manufacturing and farms can continue to function. This is the cornerstone of our economy and the bailout does nothing to address this issue.

Even funnier than this, the Republican plan being circulated around Congress calls for suspending capital gains tax for 2 years to allow companies to sell these "toxic assets" without penalties. Unfortunately since they will continue to lose value, suspending the capital gains tax won't benefit them. On the other hand the rich's golden parachutes wont be leaded by taxes. Everybody wants to screw the taxpayer over in their own way.

I almost forgot! Today is talk like a pirate day. Annoy your friends and coworkers!
