The Economist this week reports that Federal Reserve chairman Alan Greenspan will be retiring at the end of the year. The article then goes on to analyze the strengths and weaknesses of each of the most likely candidates to replace him. Right....guess who gets to nominate his successor? That's right, our very own Dubya!! Here's where this situation turns into a nightmare. The very fact that our president, who has always been an idiot but is now less affective at covering it, gets to choose not one but two Supreme Court justices but the new Fed chairman to boot is literally giving me nightmares!! Yeah, if you need to find me I'll be in Europe...or the Jan Brady of expat locations, Canada. Seriously, I think this is really bad. I mean, I know Republicans want to make money, but I Dubya is just plain incompetent, so you know he's gonna f*** this up, too. He ran all his businesses into the ground, so apparently not only is he a sucky president, he's not even a good Republican!! AARRGGHH!! Some economic commentators don't think that Greenspan is good at his job, but at least he's consistently been independent of the Oval office and stood up to those in charge that are hell-bent on driving this country into the ground. Dubya is so entrenched in the ways of cronyism that I don't think he even knows how to choose a qualified candidate. He just looks across the table and points at whoever's closest to him and says, "hey you, you're gonna be the new Fed chairman!" Meanwhile, Skippy the intern is shitting himself 'cause he's forgotten his intro Econ lecture notes back in Iowa. I'm gonna have a heart attack soon, I can just feel it coming on!
Speaking of Dubya, I found this HI-larious video clip on-line. Check it out.
Classic!!! I friggin' love this! Nuff for tonight, this clip says it all.
