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

A New Virtue

There is a pseudo-virtue that I cannot help but see as necessary to make it through a successful workday. I don’t know what to call it except a collective mindset . Many tasks at any job can be done by one person but they are often time consuming and messy. If another person steps in the job runs smoother; we know this ad idiom, "two heads are better than one." The ethic is not complicated but it contradicts a very American sentiment, individualism. Where I work, if one person fails to do something, everyone fails. If one person succeeds, likewise, everyone succeeds. Though not commonly perceived, such is life outside of work. Independent of whether the society adapts the collective mindset , any single individual can have one making society a better place. I cannot consider this pseudo-ethic as a sane dictum of governance, I am a libertarian after all; though it would undoubtedly be pleasantly enculturated if each person took it upon him or herself to look after ea

Dear future employer,

I have been unemployed for three long and pretty dull and really disheartening months. The reality is I have been looking for jobs nonstop and I have applied over and over to every vague and non-compelling job description you all post week after week. Each time I find a post worth my time, I submit a great looking résumé –customized for each job description– accompanied by a genuine and mildly witty cover letter tailored as specifically as possible to the listing. Seriously folks, I am doing a pretty good job applying quickly after you post the position, with no errors, and to your specifics. Don’t think I am simply submitting a generic résumé, without regard to who you are and who you’re looking for. If you reveal who you are, I research your company and I even come in person to introduce myself (unless the ad says not to); but, I am almost always turned away with the directive, “go ahead and submit your CV online.” This letter is to let you know that this sucks; you can do better.
