Behind the Scenes

Friday was a big day in America. Karl Rove told the President he was resigning. The candidates turned up the volume and the charm in Iowa for the Straw Poll, and the Feds subsidised Wall Street to the tune of $35 billion. I find it absolutely amazing that in the midst of all the upheaval on Capitol Hill, Mr. Rove has decided now, after all he and the President have been through together; it's time to leave politics . . . If I were a betting woman, I would say things are closer to being in place for all the key players of this administration, to have their power outside the limits of politics. I noticed just before Tommy Thompson decided to drop out of the presidential race, the AMA has given new credence to Veri-Chip. The interview he gave before Saturday let us all know, a 2008 campaign was not really in his plan! He said if he came in below second, he was out. He'd never been second in any poll . . . Last I checked, Mr. Thompson was on the board of the company that owns Veri-Chip, but so far he hasn't reported receiving his microchip, just promoting them for everyone else! Hillary has owned up to taking corporate cash, and Mitt Romney is rich! So, although politics is a great show and wonderful scenery, the real power for either party, as always; is in money. The feds have a new plan to avoid a depression this time. They'll simply subsidise Wall Street. Is that not just the craziest thing, yet? The concern and instability is supposedly too many home loans and mortgages have been made to people with unstable or poor credit, and the investors are shakey. Don't you wonder just how many houses could have been subsidised with $35 billion dollars? So, if I understand this correctly. Mr. Rove is now protected from the questions of Congress and can return to the private sector officially above the law. The 2008 candidates can go on their merry way, living an already extravagant lifestyle, taking money from whomever is willing to give it. Tommy Thompson can return to his private life of power and continue to serve to better 'equip us all' for surveillance. And the mortgage companies can receive subsidies from the government while they go through the arduous and lengthy task of repossessing real estate from those Americans that just can't quite afford to have a roof over their heads!
