Reflections From a Murky Pond

America is an unique nation, culture, and People. No other place, no other idea, and no other people are quite the same as we are. American Exceptionalism is, in many and varied ways, a simple fact of life and objective reality.

America is a special nation.
Americans are special people.

America is, indeed, special in a vast number of ways. It’s just that some of those ways are sort of “short bus special.”

Only In America #7

Only in America, could people demand the government investigate whether oil companies are gouging the public because the price of gas went up when the return on equity invested in a major U.S. Oil company (Marathon Oil) is less than half of a company making tennis shoes (Nike).

It can be honestly said that people of other lands should be both proud and grateful that some things can only be found only in America. 🙄

Former U.S. Rep. Jesse Jackson Jr. and his bitch pleaded guilty to federal charges on Wednesday related to years of using campaign funds for personal expenses. Both were crying as realized the full import of they’re being caught for their crimes and tried in a court of their betters.

Both criminals now face the possibility of multiple years in prison. Sentencing is June 28.

Really though, what it comes down to with Jesse Jackson Jr. is that he was raised to believe that the world, especially Whites, owned him something and the boy loved him some bling. and that unholy but culturally lauded love led to his ruination.

Nobody should have expected any different and better outcome from Jackson being allowed to hold any power and have access to monies that could be stolen. This end was inevitable.

Here’s 15 items, totaling $112,397 of the $750,000 of campaign funds that the boy embezzled, that he bought with his plundered booty:

1. Gold-plated Rolex – $43,350
2. Michael Jackson memorabilia – $14,200
3. Martin Luther King Jr. memorabilia – $11,130
4. Bruce Lee memorabilia – $10,105
5. Children’s furniture – $9,584
6. Michael Jackson fedora – $4,600
7. Michael Jackson & Eddie Van Halen Guitar – $4,000
8. Michael Jackson hat – $3,900
9. Jimi Hendrix memorabilia – $2,775
10. Malcolm X memorabilia – $2,200
11. Porcelain collector’s items – $1,553
12. Black & Red cashmere cape – $1,500
13. Black fox reversible – $1,500
14. Mink reversible parka – $1,200
15. Mink Cashmere cape – $800

Yep, the boy sho did love him some bling! Loved it so much that, lacking any personal or cultural moral compass, he broke a bunch of laws to get it.

One can only imagine what he and his bitch hoe, Sandi spent the other $637,603 of their stolen money upon. Then again, it mike unduly shock the senses and sensibilities of normal people to find out the rest of the purchases.

Also I assume those cashmere and mink items were part of Sandi’s share of the take, but that be just my racial insensitivity showing. Ole Jesse. Jr. might have liked to pimp out now and then. He certainly wouldn’t be the first brutha to do so, nor will he be the last. 😉

Hey! The bucks know that sparkly bling goes best with mink. In both cases, the more the better.

On A Sickening Side Note

This is really just an aside that is too short to be post and too long for my normal “interjections” into existing posts. It only tangentially related to these two ghetto fools’ loot spending habits.

Notice that Jesse bought himself a fair bit of Michael Jackson memorabilia – to the tune of $26,700. Then look at his skank, Sandi. Doesn’t the hoe look like Michael Jackson in his later, post-modified days? 😯

The combination of these two things opens the door to some truly sickening possible insights into Jesse Jackson Jr.’s psyche and proclivities.

America is an unique nation, culture, and People. No other place, no other idea, and no other people are quite the same as we are. American Exceptionalism is, in many and varied ways, a simple fact of life and objective reality.

America is a special nation.
Americans are special people.

America is, indeed, special in many ways. Sadly, some of those ways are more of the nature of “short bus special.”

Only In America #6

Only in America , could you need to present a photo ID to: get a job, cash a check, open a bank account, rent an apartment, receive “Public Benefits,” apply for college, get a library card, or buy alcohol or cigarettes, but not to vote.

Yes, there are just some things that one can only find in America. This is something that the residents of other nations should, perhaps, be proud of and grateful for. 🙄

Liberals, Progressives, and the bosses and enforcers of the organized crime syndicates known as labor unions often bemoan and wail about how they seldom achieve victories anymore.

But what would a union victory look like this more austere day and age?

The evidence indicates that it would look like defeat but with wider spread casualties.

The city of New York, faced with ever-increasing and unsustainable costs from its school busing program, made the decision to end its policy of no-bid contracts for school busing and to move to a more normative and open low-bid contract model. This instantly prompted the Amalgamated Transit Union, a cell of the AFL/CIO, to call a strike that crippled NYC’s school busing program for five weeks before the union finally suspended it on Wednesday, February 20, 2013.

More than 100,000 NYC students, including large numbers of special-needs children, were negatively impacted by the union’s strike, the first in the city since 1979.

The Result? The Victory?

When approximately 100 of the bus matrons reported for wJoseph Fazziaork at their Red Hook bus depot around 5:00 AM,  they were informed that they no longer had jobs. Their employer, Canal Escorts, Inc. had folded and gone out of business due to their strike causing  Canal Escorts, Inc. to be unable to meet its contractual requirements with the Department of Education during the month-long strike.

I’ve lost hundreds of thousands of dollars. I’m not losing another nickel more. This union thinks they can tell me what to do – they can go fuck themselves!

— Joseph Fazzia
President, Canal Escorts, Inc. (Defunct)

That was the result that Amalgamated Transit Union achieved. That was their victory. They went on strike against NYC’s upcoming shift to open, low-bid contracts and destroyed one – so far – of the private-sector employers that provided wages and benefits to their own constituency.

In some other plane the shade of King Pyrrhus of Epirus is shaking his head in dismay at their ignorance. Still, a few more victories like this and they will be undone, so there’s an upside to this situation.

America is an unique nation, culture, and People. No other place, no other idea, and no other people are quite the same as we are. American Exceptionalism is, in many and varied ways, a simple fact of life and objective reality.

America is a special nation.
Americans are special people.

America is, indeed, special in many ways. Sadly, some of those ways are more of the nature of “short bus special.”

Only In America #4

Only in America , could the people who believe in balancing the budget and sticking by the country’s Constitution be thought of as “extremists.”

Yes, there are just some things that one can only find in America. This is something that the residents of other nations should, perhaps, be proud of and grateful for. 🙄
