Wacko-of-the-Week, September 20, 2008

For a very toxic week:

Frankly,
here under the BIRCHES we take our job of awarding Wacko-of-the-Week quite seriously. We really want to find the most outstanding idiots we can to recognize, aside from ourselves, of course.

This week, like the markets in New York, we feel overwhelmed. We feel like doing what Bush does: come out with a cocky look on our faces, make a short statement that doesn't seem to mean anything, and then run and hide. (We detest that man, so we won't emulate him.)

========
THIS IS A THREE PART WACKO:

DICK FULD who did so much to destroy the economy of the world. PRIDE is an awesome force, and sometimes it can be an awful thing as well. As the Bible sayeth: Pride goeth before destruction, and an haughty spirit before a fall. READ ABOUT HIM HERE, CLICK

RONALD REAGAN, post mortem, for the deregulation, for the trickle-down (supply side) economics, for the huge budget deficits, for the
silly war against unions, for the tax breaks for the wealthy --- all policies whch did so much to bring us to this week.

THE AMERICAN VOTERS - who have done so much in their foolish behavior, to return this pack of scoundrels again and again into power. They seem always to fall for the clever words and images and never go for the serious thought. In both political parties there are serious well-intentioned people, so why do we always seem to prefer the liars?
