Starbucks: The New Fannie and Freddie On Cappachino

Nobody Knows

—that I watched the movie, the “Little Fockers” last night, and did not laugh once. But, I made up for it after I watched Mr. Christopher Christwell sing his song on YouTube about having to serve people at Starbucks.

I’m not even looking at it, and I’m still laughing.

Frankly, I think they paid this guy to do this, because Chris is not near as insulting to me, as the fact that Starbucks is asking it’s customers to ‘donate’ five dollars to put into a “loan” fund to give out to poor people who cannot get loans for houses anymore because Fannie and Freddie broke the world, and got caught.

When I first read it, I thought: Oh…how nice..the man that helped break Americans with overpriced coffee has decided to help out the people, the small business man, who cannot get a loan from any of the banks that got big bailout money. They were SUPPOSE to give it to the struggling American, but…they gave it to the big foreign banks.

Chris would say: they gave it to the rich fat lady wanting more whipped cream in her frapachino mocha.

This from Prison Plant–

The group running the scheme is funded by the very same big banks who received trillions in bailout funds that are still deliberately withholding loans from struggling Americans in order to make money
off the interest on deposits held with the Federal Reserve. What the corporate press is loath to report is the fact that the OFN, while posing as a philanthropic financial refuge for poor Americans, is little more than a Wall Street front organization. It is bankrolled by the likes of Bank of America, Goldman Sachs, HSBC, Deutsche Bank, JP Morgan Chase, Wells Fargo, and Morgan Stanley.

Starbucks also once offered free coffee to those who offered to pledge their allegiance to Obama’s creepy ‘national civilian security force’  proposal back in January 2009. And if my memory serves me well, it was Bill Clinton who lobbied (and won) high-playing wages for the coffee pickers in Columbia, who pick the coffee beans for Starbucks. Some of those guys, make more money than a Starbucks manager, and it’s also one of the reasons that Starbucks coffee is so high.

But I digress. I don’t drink coffee. The democrats are going to get the “people’s money any way they can.” Even if they have to pretend it’s for charity.

Fannie Starbucks.

Chris put into words, what every single “service” worker in the United States feels when they get home from work every single day. People can be downright rude.

And Nobody Knows it better: America is a “service” economy, and I’m glad they fired Christopher. Now he can go on to better things.

Like, maybe writing scripts for Ben Stiller.

When In Rome, Get In Your IPod

Nobody Reports that Nobody Reads!

Here are a few intersting items I found in my reading today:

In Bushworld, Maureen Dowd complained about Dick Cheney and President Bush…hiding things.

“The vice president and president are really concerned about the privacy of power. They want to do, and be accountable to no one. The theme of Bush I is now the them of Bush II: Trust us, even if we won’t let you verify. we know we’re right . We answer to no one. “

That sentence could very well have been written about Barack Obama and his administration. “We have to pass the bill so we can read it.”

Has Maureen figured out by now that the democrats rule the same way?

Has a pigmy ever won a Pultizer?

****

In What Life Was Like When Rome Ruled the World I found this:

The Roman historian Livy said Rome was a “free nation, governed by annually elected officers of state and subject not to the caprice of individual men, but to the overriding authority of law.” The Romans codified their young “republic” around 430 BC in the Twelve Tables.

Now, this was not exactly a “republic” because only the wealthy patricians could vote and be elected. The common man (plebeians) did not have a say. And when the Roman elites sent the poor plebeians to fight the war in Carthage (Africa) it got sticky.

“Plebeians burdened by debt and lenglthy military service were losing their land to patricians who profited by the labor of slaves taken in battle”

So…history shows that the patricians and the plebeians are still in the exact same place. Even in the “republic” of China.

Nobody also likes this:….a speaker system for $100, 000. and a clever IPOD that you can climb into when the next flood comes. That’s only $3,900.

Now, how to get that stereo into that IPOD….Nobody is working on it.
