"Next week in Chicago, the Clinton Global Initiative will focus on
America for the first time, inviting business and political leaders to
make specific commitments in support of the former president’s jobs
blueprint"
Fuck, I'd move residence to Florida and vote ten times for O'Barry next
year, if I thought it would break the heart of the nation's biggest and
bestest, most bodacious cream-filled political doughnut, Bill Clintox.
But of course nothing will or can even dispirit this ceaseless curse on America, let alone break his pea-pickin' heart. The monumental fucker's 1000% impervious to rebuke or the call of conscience. Not righteous threats, not boos, catcalls, thrown tomatoes, you name it -- not even the Almighty, in a pillar of cloud over Harlem, thundering "Cease, you son of a bitch, cease!" could stop him runnin' his motormouth. He is completely without shame. OJ Simpson looks like a meek Sardinian monk next to this rampant barefoot jackass.
Remember way back, when he had that Hawthorne tale -- a vitality-sucking fatty sheath over his repaired ticker? There is figures in all things, as Fluellen reminds us. Weren't we all praying? "No, no, heavens no... don't get that sheath off, doc... please... please let the bastard waste away, heart-smothered by his own bubba-blubber... nice and slow and steady."
Petition denied. No dice. And now, having somehow dodged what was clearly an emblematic divine judgement, he's probably good for another ten trillion robust beats, what with that bionic revalve job. He'll bury us all, and in the meantime the Dogpatch Gladstone will inundate us ceaselessly with presidential bull, like this latest on "the economy", linked above, yet another round of ballyhoo for his "Clinton Global Initiative" -- his very own personal Sanhedrin of the living saints of neoliberalism.
Read every bit of it. I did, and why should I be the only one suffering around here? A few teasers:
" I tried for a year to get both Congress and the administration to deal with the fact that the banks weren’t lending because they were still jittery about the economy, and worried about the regulators coming down on them... Look at the tar roofs covering millions of American buildings. They absorb huge amounts of heat when it’s hot... Every black roof in New York should be white; every roof in Chicago should be white; every roof in Little Rock should be white... I’m sympathetic with the objectives of the Bowles-Simpson commission; we do need to do something about long-term debt...I’d be perfectly fine with lowering the corporate tax rates..."Best for last, the apex of abomination:
"...We lost manufacturing jobs in every one of the eight years after I left office. One of the reasons is that enforcement of our trade laws dropped sharply. Contrary to popular belief, the World Trade Organization and our trade agreements do not require unilateral disarmament. They’re designed to increase the volume of two-way trade on terms that are mutually beneficial. My administration negotiated 300 trade agreements, but we enforced them, too. Enforcement dropped so much in the last decade because we borrowed more and more money from the countries that had big trade surpluses with us, especially China and Japan, to pay for government spending. Since they are now our bankers, it’s hard to be tough on their unfair trading practices. This happened because we abandoned the path of balanced budgets 10 years ago"Sum-up?
"Let’s be realistic here. This is a massive economy. No matter how many impressive commitments we get, we won’t move the numbers. They’ll move the numbers only if enough people say, “Wow, I wish I’d thought of that.” "Hydra was about endless new heads; Billy is about ceaseless new tongues.

You can't stop it.
It will go on forever.
(Until no one listens anymore. And I don't now.)

Maybe I should have bought drugs from him when I had the chance.

Is the tar roof thing a metaphor? Is he talking about Obama breaking through the tar roof? This guy is a Goddamn racist!

It's long been the red and green candy apple dream to put better roofing on every single building in the US: garden roofs, thoroughly insulated roofs, playground roofs, rainwater and solar collecting roofs, etc. and so forth. Clinton is a useless dipshit and mouths off about things he's picked up in his soundbite feed.

It's not just Clinton. The Gates Foundation gets all enamored of this kind of end-to-endery(*) too. Maybe it's a deformation professionnelle of the humanitarian technocrat.

MJS, if more Democrats were laid more often, they might not be so meddlesome.

So is he saying if enough of us say, “Wow, I wish I’d thought of that” the economy will turn around? Who knew it was so easy! Who's on board?
