From My Point of View - Home Ownership/Debtorship is Over Hyped & Over-Sold Bullshit

I spent almost 8 years renting a place after a costly and messy divorce.  Because I wanted a dog again, I bought a house.  It has had its good moments.  But, it has also been costly, time consuming and sometimes irritating compared to renting an apartment.

My thought was to withhold judgment until I got my first year of taxes done as a boomerang “home owner”.  Prior to renting a place, I had owned two houses previously but under very different personal circumstances for a few decades.  I just got the results of my tax return (done by a CPA) and guess what?  I’m getting the princely sum of $1,163 back from the Feds and the State combined.  In my old apartment days, I generally paid additional taxes beyond withholding that ranged anywhere from $700 to $900 in any given year.  So, that puts me generally $2,000 to the good.  As of this moment, I don’t feel as though it has been worth it from a strictly financial point of view.  I’m rather disappointed.

The Complaints Never End

In case you’re wondering – Kenny Bing is a regular white Joe Schmoe schlepping his ass into his office gig and “doing the Dew” so he can go out on the weekend and “Do the Dew” with his Linda Lou or with Bing the Wonderdog or just go fishing and smoke a cigar and mind his own business.

I no longer listen to all the “screaming Mimi’s” of the world who yap endlessly about the racial and gender injustices done so that “whitey dude” doesn’t have to relinquish his ill gotten gains in life.  In my case specifically – I was born poor to working class parents (daddy was a trucker and mommy was a lunch lady) and have worked since I was fucking 12 so anyone who wants to tell me how I wound up with any ill gotten gains in life based upon my skin color, please step forward and enlighten me… and then I can politely tell you to go fuck yourself.

No problem with it but I suggest you stop your endless yapping about the "inequalities"
Newsflash for you – most regular Joe Schmoe white dudes don’t want much more in life than to make a living, do their extra curricular activities on the weekend and live “a quiet normal life” (thank you Warren Zevon for a wonderful body of work).

It could be much worse - you could be under the thumb of some corn pone Nazi like this jackoff

I Humbly Suggest That You Get Your Fucking Act Together, Ben

"A growing number of states are seeking shiny new currencies made of silver and gold.
Worried that the Federal Reserve and the U.S. dollar are on the brink of collapse, lawmakers from 13 states, including Minnesota, Tennessee, Iowa, South Carolina and Georgia, are seeking approval from their state governments to either issue their own alternative currency or explore it as an option."


Permit me to issue and control the money of a nation, and I care not who makes its laws.

Ben Desires "Normalcy"

"We still have a long way to go before the labor market can be said to be operating normally," Bernanke told the committee.

feeling normal yet?

So, by "normal" labor market do you mean the kind of labor market driven by a debt fueled speculative bubble chasing real estate that inflates in “value” (whatever the fuck that word is supposed to mean anymore) year over year for a decade or more?  Is that the kind of “normal” you and the Fed are shooting for, Ben?

Tell you what… you want that kind of "normal" again you better open a retail window at the Fed so that every Tom, Dick and Harry in the country can come on down to their friendly local Federal Reserve Bank and take out a low or no cost loan (with no underwriting criteria outside of the borrower being able to fog a mirror) so that said borrowers can go on a shopping spree over at your recently created bubblicious stock market and speculate with *cough* “invest” the money he borrowed from you in Facebook’s upcoming IPO…  oh, but wait.. Then you’d be the direct lender trying to collect that money back from Tom, Dick and Harry….  Well, don’t worry – as you've stated in the past, you’ve got a printing press so you can just print more Federal Reserve Notes when needed, lend it to Tom, Dick or Harry and he can repay you with the fresh Federal Reserve Notes you just loaned him….problem solved.  (You’re welcome, asshole)

Life has taught me that the best way to deal with wannabe fascist control freaks who are in fact actually nothing more than Little Lord Fauntleroy types is to give them complete control and then require them to deal with the aftermath of their decisions and actions --- on their own.  More often than is not, they choke on their own hubris….or step all over their own dick….whichever you prefer.

Multiple Clusterfuck Pile Up at Highway Interchange

How much more completely awesome can a Federal Reserve Chairman be?

Learn how to merge, asshole!
When you Google the words "fire Bernanke" you get a boatload Hummerload of hits.  It would appear that everyone running for the GOP nomination has said in their speeches that if elected, they would hook up a U-Haul behind Ben's Hummer and send him back to Princeton.  Ron Paul is the exception - he says don't fire Bernanke, fire the Fed.

It's a Freedom of Speech Issue..... Man......

What? I'm covered....
Bazooka's, in downtown Kansas City, offers videos of its nude and seminude dancers next to the stage while a dancer performs live with her intimate areas covered, as the law requires, The Kansas City Star reported Thursday.

"Bazooka's" What an awesome name for strip joint...
