Greetings and Salutations! I thought I would change it up a bit this time, and do a little posting in The Ultra Critic section. Aren't you happy? I bet you're about to shit little green weenies, in anticipation of what this dude may spout next!!! :( Well, I'm as broken a record as The BeeGee's, "How Deep is Your Love", with several razor cuts in the grooves, played by a drunken Irishman with one finger on the turntable, and his fist up the arse of the creator of " Veggie Tales". Just to give a brief description.
Anyway! On with the 'shoe'...
I was wondering if anyone happened to see the 60 Minutes episode about the FDIC taking over banks? Well, I was quite intrigued with the story right up until about the end of it; when it was revealed that, (and I should have guessed) most of the take-over's are of smaller banks, usually of the 5 billion or less market. When, whatever the Schmudzvink of a reporter it is, asks the field director of the FDIC, her opinion on the subject, using Citibank as an example of the BIG guys are getting bailed out, but not the smaller community based banks. She said something to the effect that, and I'm paraphrasing, 'The American public and Congress might really want to look into the bigger banks EVEN BEING ALLOWED TO EXIST'. Well, I did one of those fucking Lewis Black jabbering of the jowls in my mind!!! Holy Shit!! Someone in the Fed being honest and forthright! Well I was floored.
So as far as MY review goes, of this would-be UNCLE SAM automaton; Well she gets a fucking A+ for honesty at least!
While I'm at it.... I think I'll review something else! How about something simple?! TIME
For starters, try explaining to your boss the next time you're late to work that the average U.S. city commuter looses 38 hours a year to traffic delays! Then watch as his head turns so cocked, (like the RCA dog) that it falls off and his brains sprout wings and fly away, WEEEEE!!
Or maybe the next time you're in a really nasty, heated, blood-boiling debate with your significant other, over something as trivial as wether you're going stuff a 3 or 6 piece McMaggot meal down the chillin's throats. You could let your one and only know that.... Daylight Savings Time began as a joke, ole' Benny Franklin devised to get people up earlier, to stay outta the house longer, and conserve on candles!!! Whoopie!! Then watch as you partners eye's sag out of their sockets, and a Raymond Scott 'Merrie Mellodies' tune starts magically coming out of the stereo you just KNOW you had tuned to Z-107.7!!
Or that "time is an illusion, lunchtime doubly so." As Douglas Adam's put it so eloquently.
I don't know that that was much of a critique, that last bit of drivel. But I do know it's late and I've had enough!!
Later!
