MooPig Free Range Grazing Rights Department :: "Madness DeLayed"

Texas Politics always Shady?
Mashed articles by Pat Darnell |  Oct 30, 2012  | Bryan TX

Does anyone remember dodgy DeLay? The mesmerizing houdini of negotiations, who negotiated himself into a jail cell. He recently was let go, by "divine justice," so he says.

It's Texas bullshit as usual. This state is so full of bombastic idiots, that it really seems to be the norm -- to be several cards short of a full deck.

Tom DeLay: I’m back and I’m on a mission from God | The Raw Story: "In his speech to the group, DeLay waxed on about how his faith in Christ helped him struggle through criminal charges for money laundering and racketeering. His money laundering conviction was overturned in September by a Texas judge.

“It’s really happy day for me, and I just thank the Lord for carrying me through all of this and it really drove my detractors crazy because I had the joy of Jesus in me and they didn’t understand it,” said DeLay to reporters in September.

The man known as “The Hammer” for his aggressive negotiating style spent more than $12 million in legal fees in order to avoid jail time."

mgardener • 20 minutes ago − Think he's confusing his "God" with his banker. Of course he's out, he spent 12 million dollars and had a Bush appointed judge. Didn't need 'God' when you have money and a judge. You know, maybe God is punishing us, not because of gay marriage, but because we have.... Republicans!!!

rt5guide • 41 minutes ago − It would seem that "God" has been doing a shitty job in the messenger department as of late. Where's the burning bush stuff? THAT I would pay heed too. The ones that God has "chosen" to carry water as of late, not so much.

stingray68 • an hour ago − Run, Tom, run! What could be better than having a crooked hack like you back in Congress as the "new" face of the GOP. Why let Ted Cruz have all the fun of being the nation's Number One Scumbag?

surgethis • 3 hours ago Just think about the back rooms and sickening conversation with whiskey breath and cigar smoke in the air where Tom DeLay made his deals and crafted the facade that he is a god fearing man.

surgethis • 3 hours ago DeLay has nothing left but the religious card. He is bankrupt as a human being. The radical religious right that wormed its way into our system like a blood sucking parasite will embrace any broken sociopath willing to spew the lies and distortions they call Christian values. Values that they claim gives them the right to lie, cheat and steal all in the name of god who they claim speaks to them directly. Dangerous revolting pigs.

althejazz • 3 hours ago − Looks like the nutters are now running the asylum

Autumn V. • 5 hours ago − Hey Tom - God just spoke to me also, and he says you are a blooming idiot!

Angela Monger • 5 hours ago − People like him really need to be locked away in a mental institution. It wasn't some deity that got him off the hook for being a crook. It was the money that did that. And quite frankly I could do without his revolution.

D_C_Wilson • 6 hours ago − It's official. God hates America.

Foundryman • 6 hours ago − Who does he think he is? Elwood Blues?

--and--

Jerry Callender • 9 hours ago − The effrontery - everyone knows god only talks to Pat Robertson.

DIY stimulus: CEO gives workers $1000 each from his own pocket
Bruce Watson | Apr 3rd 2009

Jack Windolf, the CEO of Bollinger Insurance, recently gave his 434 employees a surprise gift: out of his own pocket, he paid each of them $1000. The bonuses, which Windolf called "a mini economic stimulus package," came from $500,000 in deferred compensation that he received when he sold 51 percent of the company last year. Rather than spend the money on himself, he chose to share it with his workers.

CEOs have had a rough time of it lately. With outrage brewing about the scandalous bonuses that went out to executives at Lehman, AIG, Merrill Lynch and other huge companies, it's become increasingly lonely at the top. And for good reason.

After all, even a cursory analysis of the evolution of executive compensation over the past few decades is enough to bring out one's inner Karl Marx. By now, the statistics are pretty well-known, but let's review them one more time: in 1982, the average CEO made 42 times as much as the average worker; by 1990, they were making 107 times as much as their employees, and by 2007, 275 times as much. This meant, incidentally, that the average CEO made more in one workday than the average employee made all year.

Some studies have suggested that employees don't begrudge their bosses the extra pay as long as the company is doing well. However, even by that metric, CEO compensation has grown out of control. With companies lining up to take government bailouts, it is worth asking exactly what companies are getting for their money. One can only imagine the feelings of AIG's rank-and-file employees, and the attitude among low-level workers at Merrill Lynch must be downright mutinous.

What made those 400+ deserve an extra $1000. They should be taxed at 90%. Mob envy took over in the French Revolution. Mike "45cal. or 9mm bonus" would have fit in well there. In fact, he should move to France.

People can bitch and moan about CEOs but guess what : they don't give a sh*t what you think. Why? Because you can't do a damn thing about it. There's no rioting and i haven't hard of any CEOs being 'taken out'. The "common " people take it up the ass like good little sheep.

They should all be chased by mobs with pitch forks and torches!

I've heard radio commentators argue that government shouldn't be involved as when the President asked GM's chairmen to step down.

Well, that's fine. No bailouts either. Let the market sort it out. If you want OUR money- you should be accountable!!

If you ran the company into the ground you DO NOT deserve a bonus! Another employee gets a pink slip for a poor job, why not them? ANY exec who askes for CORPORATE WELFARE, should be fired and stripped of HIS parachute!

We need to all wake up and tell congress that WE AIN'T GONNA TAKE IT ANYMORE. Let the CEOs go to food banks and see how degrading it feels. Be outraged!

Final Act -- Thursday; Atlas Shrugs a little More

"I'll Take my Answer off the Air, Thank you very Much!!!"

List of Players --
Rep. Paul Kanjorski of Pennsylvania
Treasury Secretary Paulson and
Fed Chairman Bernanke
"HE"

[Thursday Sept 15, 2008 at roughly 11 AM The Federal Reserve noticed a tremendous draw down of money market accounts in the USA to the tune of $550 Billion dollars in a matter of an hour or two. Money was being removed electronically.]

Paulson: Bernie, pump in $150 billion... I'll make the phone call.

[The Treasury tried to help, opened their window and pumped in $150 Billion but quickly realized they could not stem the tide. We were having an electronic run on the banks. ]

Bernanke: Ok, pumping it in now. Will it avert catastrophe?

Bernanke: [Later] No deal, it isn't working... what did "HE" say, Paulie?

Paulson: "HE" said close down the accounts.

[So they decide to close down the accounts. ]

Bernanke: Bankers' Holiday, Paulie?

Paulson: Yep. My finger is a little sore from pushing those buttons this morning. I think I'll get a mani -- you want to join me, Bernie?

Bernanke: Sure.

[Three Months Later in a Live Leak]

Paul Kanjorski: We're not the experts on the Hill, but we gave wide berth to the Treasurer to buy up Toxic Assets. [SOURCE]

Phone caller: What the hell are you on about? Do you mean I can't pay my bills because you guys gave the Treasurer a wad of my money to keep the banks from collapsing?

Kanjorski: Had they not closed down the accounts they estimated that by 2 PM that afternoon. Within 3 hours. $5.5 Trillion would have been withdrawn and the entire economy of the United States would have collapsed, and within 24 hours the world economy would have collapsed.
