2008: "True Lies"


Not to jump on the band-wagon with the year in review; But, yet a few things just have to be highlighted in retrospect.

True Lies:
Is the most descriptive assesment for the year 2008 that I can find. It's a powerful paradoxical euphemism coined by the Governator, Arnold Swarzenegger who was coincidentally on CBS 60 Minutes this past Sunday December 21, 2008.
Made in Hollywood deception: They can't make stuff like this up. Or, can they?

Bail-out frenzy: Good Money for Them; Tax for You and I. Good Money after Bad?

High Crimes and Misdemeanors $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$

The great oxymoron of the year: The American Economy

Paulson Bernanke (The Dynamic Duo)

The Best President money can buy (all the fuss for a $400k p/yr job)

The greatest irony is that record donations were collected in a time of Depression.

Election Campaign Reform: Obama $150 Million in September.


Madoff - Mad-ster (made-ster)


New six letter word; Similar to Shyster.





Constant Countdowns to the Digital TV Transformation deadline: Feb. 17, 2009.



I'll start my own countdown until September 9, 2009 (9-9-9):


California Admission Day is a legal holiday in the state of California in the United States. It is celebrated annually on September 9th to commemorate the anniversary of the 1950 admission of California into the Union as the thirty first state.
California was admitted to the Union as part of the Compromise of 1850 as a free state after being ceded to the United States by Mexico at the end of the Mexican–American War in 1848.





260 days left.......until California Admission Day. Governator and True Lies!!!




Bronx cheers for:



  • the Democrat Congress...


  • 5 to 4 Supreme Cout,


  • President Bush, V.P. Cheney.


My phrase for the year:



"More Bank for your bung"




Arsenio.
