Bear Stearns: RIP

Obituary
March 18th, 2008

The life of Bear Stearns was prematurely taken this week when the US economy realized the effects of the diabolical schemes this loan Bank and its furiously hell-bent ilk planned and perpetrated on the lower and middle classes for almost 100 years, cooperating with the deceitfully obtuse Federal Reserve. When Bear Stearns’s value crashed, losing millions to the devaluation of the dollar, it was picked apart and cannibalized by the Fed for two dollars a share, only to be remembered as an example of rich soulless bastards getting their just deserts.

During the early years, Bear Stearns earned a nice niche for itself as a banking franchise while specializing in loans, securities, and corporate/individual credit. During the years, the company saw many successes, including the dehumanization of Americans who were stretched just a little too thin and could not pay their bills. Bear Stearns was there to assist them in their times of need by raising interest rates and keeping financial freedom far from the reach of those in the lower and middle classes.

When success was obvious, Bear Stearns never squinted as they made poor loan holders squirm. The long arm of Bear Stearns was intimately involved in the destruction and collapse of many dreams. Bear Stearns, like many investment banks, has had a diversity of clients but never failed to fuse them with the unifying factor of indentured servitude while at the same time witling away the US Economy.

Bear Stearns, R.I.P.

Dark Horse of the Apocalypse

Here I am, my second blog entry. What I have to say, I am not sure, I have so much to say but nothing to talk about. I watched I Am Legend the other day; in spite of video-game type CGI, the film was pretty decent. I cannot say it was memorable, as far as an apocalyptic film goes, it rose just above mediocre. Children of Men is far more entertaining, deep, and plot driven. If one were to spend two hours, the latter would be better time spent, especially considering the production quality. Speaking of the apocalypse, the presidential race is heating up quickly. Apparently, Mike Huckabee has something to offer as a presidential candidate. I did not know the GOP is so interested in perpetuating the Bush foreign policy that they are willing to support a pseudo-clone of the current commander-in-chief our nation so dearly admires. Ron Paul receives little-to-no attention from the media compared to other candidates but he has the money and grass roots attention (including a priva...

The Weakness of My Father

“ When I was a child, I spoke as a child, I understood as a child, I thought as a child; but when I became a man, I put away childish things. ” - I Corinthians 13:11 The Weakness of my father was unbelievable to me. As a young boy, I idolized my father. I really believed he was the biggest and strongest man on earth. A vivid memory haunts and elevates me simultaneously: I remember talking to my kindergarten teacher about my dad and how strong he was; I told her he could pick up a house with his bare hands, he was that strong. Of course, that is silliness to an adult, but to a child, it's my salvation. That is to say, the strength and fortitude of my father were something inspiring as much as it is comforting. He's the foundation of my strength and safety. He comforts me, corrects me, teaches me, and of course, comes down to my level to communicate and lifts me up when I fall. If he can pick me up with his bare hands, then he can pick up a house. When I did right he gave me enc...

Bye Bye Mr. Stinky

I was a special education teacher. Matter of fact, I taught Special Education for four-and-a-half years. I taught some non-verbal kiddos how to read, increased the diversity in their diets, taught them games and social skills, and–what I am most proud of–I helped kids out of diapers, who were well past the time to meet that milestone… And let me tell you, that is not always an easy task. It is always a rewarding task. Find the carrot By carrot, I mean the motivation for doing something that is not preferred; for example, if you want to buy a beer, but you have no money, you might help a friend move. Moving is a total garbage activity, but he may pay you and buy you beer; if you know how to negotiate, you will get an unhealthy amount of pizza too. BAM! You had no money; now you have pizza, beer, and money, because you leveraged your time and effort. Potty training is no different. The kiddos usually don't know how to leverage their time and resources to get what t...
