Where did we go wrong?

I've actually turned away from blogging. I won't lie, it's too hard. But right now I can't resist. I've fucking had it with some people and have to let the 2-3 people who might read this know.

Since I last wrote we've had one of the biggest financial meltdowns in US history thanks to (enter names to be named later here + Madoff). Obviously it's easy to blame Bear Stearns, Lehman and AIG. Let's be honest though, you know that prick you went to your Ivy League school with who went on to be an IB? It's his and all his douche bag friends' fault. My favorite 2 words these days are "financial engineering".

We've elected our first black President who can't fill his cabinet because there aren’t enough qualified people who haven't committed a crime. I felt like telling that to the police officer who picked me up for doing 87 in a 65 last weekend on my way back from Tahoe with food poisoning last Sunday. How about a little perspective people?

Then finally I read this.

Dear America,

I hate social network pages. I believe though that there is one ENORMOUS benefit they have though. They allow you to know if your friend/boyfriend/girlfriend/spouse/relative is a fucking nutcase.

Sincerely,

Blair

I honestly think whoever is friends with this kid and didn’t give the old 9-1-1 a call once seeing the profile should be charged with accessory to murder if convicted. I am very happy I live in a civil society where we're “presumed innocent until proven guilty”, but there are cases where the system allows the clearly guilty to run free.

I’ve been meaning to write the blog about the sayings your mom always said being eternally true, but let me just stick with one here…"If it walks like a duck and quacks like a duck, it’s a duck".

Why is there any question that this nutcase should be off the street? I'm not advocating we go all Dick Chaney on the country, but a mild amount of common sense would be awesome right about now. Is it that hard to just call a spade a spade and do the right thing? Apparently so....
