Hu's On First

Hey Barry,

Remember the 'Who's on first?' routine by Abbott and Costello? Ya could look it up here http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sShMA85pv8M, Good for a laugh.

With Apologies:

"Bud: Hey Lou, I want to tell you about a very good baseball team. It has very good players but they have some Chinese names. Like their first baseman is named Hu. So, Hu's on first....

Lou: Wait a second. Who's on first?

Bud; Exactly...

Lou: Just a minute, I'm askin Who's on first?

Bud: Yes he is.

Lou: For cryin out loud, jes answer the questions: Who's on first.

Bud: I am answering the question, Hu's on first..........."



Well, Barry ya gets the idea.

Point is Hu has a lotta good cards an he aint tellin what he's gonna do.

So, les deal with Hu.

'S like the mob - if'n they kill ya, ya can't pay 'em anymore. So, Hu aint gonna kill us - he need us more than we need him.

But, Barry, here's da ting, we here can't even buy Chinese crap anymore cuz we got no jobs.

Much as we need jobs, Hu needs us to have jobs more than we do.

So, Barry, ya gotta get us some jobs so's we can buy more Chinese crap.

An it gonna mean that ya gotta raise some taxes on Chinese crap so we can make our own crap here - leastways some of us will get jobs from that.

Hu's gonna be upset, but they's nuthin he can do an he knows it.

Random Thoughts

OK Barry, I knows - random thoughts from yours truly. Whas new wi dat anyways.

Ha, Ha.

Couple things:

Ghanistan - I wuz thinkin how'd I feel if'n bunch of armed goons took over my block. Be so scared I'd do what they say unless I'ma sure they'll be gone quick. Don matter the goons is Tali's or good ol USA - guns is guns. So, make me sure ain't nothin bad gonna happen to my kids, then I'll listen. Can't do that, then get the hell out. Can do that, then make some schools and police an hospitals and roads.

Banks - O mi God..Jes gets worse 'n worse. Them banks is dyin. 'N we gotta make sure they don't screw us over any more. But, bigger thing is: who is gonna make the loans?

We got no system to make loans now and we is dead in the water with zero loans. Banks is only makin 30% of the loans now an is gonna get worse.

Jes make sure whatever you do bout banks covers where the loans actually come from, not just them dinosaur banks.

Jobs - Good on ya for asking them econs of yours bout making more jobs. Member two things - higher wages and protectin the bosses from the Chinks. Your econs don' do that, fire 'em. Don gimme no BS bout training, we needs folks to actually buy stuff fore we talk trainin.

Sick surance - gotta have the gov't plan Barry, thas why you there. If'n we don get the govt plan, we still be havin thousands of folks dyin from no care. And, that aint right.

Do the right thing Barry, we with ya.

Po Banks Dyin

Hey Barry

I kinda hate to rag on banks cuz they're seriously 'challenged', but, Barry, its getting jes comical. Where is George Carlin an Mort Sahl when ya needs em? Gettin to be a real comedy show.

So looky banks, ya'll can't make money at 15%, so ya ups it to 30%. An nobody says nuthin.

Read it here: http://www.nytimes.com/2009/11/10/your-money/credit-and-debit-cards/10rates.html

Cris almity, whas wrong with you, anyways?

Alreddy, ya'll don do but 30% of the loan biz cuz ya'll too busy selling phony stocks and now ya'll raisin interest to 'vigorish' rates jes like the ol mob.

Whas nex - torpedoes who break ya fingers if'n ya late?

So, Barry, give the news to Timmy and Benny: banks is dyin. Gotta find sumthin else to help the conomy, cuz banks got nuthin. Too late for regs ta help; gotta find sumthin totally new.

Conomy!

Hey Barry:

Ya'll doin lotta good an I'm a big fan.

Luv it that ya caps the execs pay and takes on the surance and bank weasels.

Don fuggit the Golden Sox rule: bankers cannot make loans and sell insurance and stocks at the same time. 'S like they's retarded or sumthin. Dunno why - it just is.

Anyways, here we is - we spent all the borrowed, an now what to do.

We all hurtin bout no jobs - so where we goin Barry? Where is we goin?

Couple things Barry. Real easy to sit here and criticize, I knows, but don gripe Barry. Ya'll wanted the job.

Problem is ain't nobody buyin nothin. An, whatever we buy comes from China cause it's cheaper.

Somehow we gotta get mo money to folks like me. An, they is only two ways to do that, Barry.

Ain't rocket science.

Numba One: raise wages. Duh. Let unions organize an folks strike for more money. Gotta do it.

Numba Two: Gotta protek the business that pays the wages from the Chinks. Duh number two. I knows they is lotta money in 'Free Trade' crap, but Barry, we got no jobs.

Was mo portant? Jobs, or 18th century theory?

Make a decision Barry, we countin on ya.

Alan Grayson D-Fla, says the GOP health plan is that ya gotta die quick if'n ya get sick.

Read it here: http://www.sfgate.com/cgi-bin/article.cgi?f=/c/a/2009/10/01/MN8419V8DF.DTL

And the GOPPERS are pi--ed. Never mind that 45,000 folks each year die cause they got no medical.

The righteous GOP is dissed - what an effin calamity.

Barry's Banker Speech

Hey Barry -

Caught your talk on youtube. Covered lotta things and they sound good.

Couple things:

1. You so nice.

Been me, I woulda been real unpolite.

Ya said lotta stuff, but here's the thing, Barry: ya gotta mean it and ya gotta follow through.

Them weasels will dance and burrow around and underneath - gotta watch em like a hawk.

2. Serious now, I read some bout banks and history. There's one thing that you don't talk bout.

And, Barry, I'ma tellin you all it is the heart of the issue and the future of the good ol USA.

Here it is Barry:

BANKERS CAN NOT MAKE LOANS AND DO OTHER BUSINESS AT THE SAME TIME.

Jeez, Barry, we know this.

If'n your bills don't tear apart loans from insurance and stock manipulation and put them into a separate business, we's all doomed.

Ya gotta take care of that Barry, we countin on ya.

Gang Bangin Bankers

Hey Barry;

Riddle me this: what's the difference between a protection racket like the MS13 and the big US banks?

Not a trick question Barry

Seems the only difference is that the Feds - thas you an Timmy - got the bankers back.

Bad enough bankers make bets they win if you die sooner - sounds like a motive for murder to me - now they's charging folks 120% to borrow.

Read it here: http://www.scrippsnews.com/node/46815

What the hell Barry.

Seems we's sold out lock, stock and barrel to the crooks in flannel.

Makes ya wanna puke.

Die Sucka

Holy Cow Barry.

Now the bankers are selling bonds that bet on how soon you will die.

If'n you die sooner they make more money - if'n you live a long time they lose money.

I am not making this up - it's in the effin new York Times: http://www.nytimes.com/2009/09/06/business/06insurance.html

Sumbitch, Barry, we here got real issues with these bastards.

Health Care in Japan

Hey Barry,

The folks in Japan get better care for less than we do, and the whole country is so broke they just threw out their government. Read about it here:

http://www.sfgate.com/columnists/carroll/

And, get this, health care is not making them broke.

I heard somewhere's that 20,00 folks a year die in the the good ol USA because they don't get to a doctor.

What the hell, Barry.

If I don't get a job soon, mebbe I'll move to Japan or Canada where folks live longer and have better health care.

If I'm gonna be broke, I'd jes as soon be healthy as sick, even if I don't speak the language.
