tremoluxman commented on the blog post Germany Rules Out Eurobonds
Notice Frau Merkel’s stance in the photo. She is displaying the classic ‘steepling gesture’. Psychologists say this denotes a sense of superiority and arrogance in the practitioner. That tells you all you need to know about the good Frau and her attitude toward the suffering nations in the EU.

Why? This brings to mind a scene in Mel Brooks’ “Blazing Saddles” when the townsfolk are waiting for the new Sheriff to arrive. Gabby Johnson is the look-out and yells out, “The new Sheriff is a n—!”

tremoluxman commented on the diary post David Brooks, Self-Doubt and Self-Confidence by Dean Baker.
So, according to Brooksie, the middle-class should go around flagellating themselves to remind themselves of their proper place while their master enjoy the fruits of their serfs labor. Can’t let that middle-class get all fat and self-satisfied because they’ll get lazy and then their masters might see a dip in their luxurious life-style. As my [...]

tremoluxman commented on the blog post Federal Judge’s Injunction Finds NDAA Is Worse Than Material Support Law
Didn’t mean to ruffle your feathers. Maybe as a wannabe writer, I get a little anal about the correct usage of expressions. Perhaps I over-strive for precision. Sorry if my comment detracted from the article’s content; not my intention.

Great article. At the risk of being a nit-picker, the phrase below is incorrect:
“. . . She specifically honed in on an argument. . . ”
It’s HOMED in on. As in homing beacon, homing pigeon. It is the thing that draws concentrated focus and attention. You hone a blade to sharpen it. *rant off*

tremoluxman commented on the blog post California $7 Billion More in the Budget Hole Than Expected
Evidently, there’s an over-abundance of dumb-fucks in CA who keep voting down tax increases on the 1% and who won’t change the 2/3 requirement to do so. Some comedian was right when he quipped, “Living in CA is like living in a bowl of Granola. Whatever isn’t fruits and nuts, is flakes.”
Are CA residents really that dumb that they can’t understand the simple truth that they can’t cut their way to prosperity? Or even a tolerable standard of living? Do they really think a modern, technological society pays for itself? Or can be had at Walmart prices? Seriously?

tremoluxman commented on the diary post Is Justice Possible? by Robert Meeropol.
The whole Cowboy military, intelligence, ‘law enforcement’, and whatever exercise strikes me as one big Dick Waving display. I don’t see it as a quest for justice or timely information to prevent future attacks. Instead, I see it as an ongoing juvenile ‘make the bastards pay’ action. Revenge and retribution, pure and simple. The whole [...]

tremoluxman commented on the blog post JPMorgan’s $2 Billion Loss Shows Impotence of the Volcker Rule
Let’s be honest and call this whole arcane financial instruments business what it really is: Bullshit. It reminds me of the game ‘Cups’ that Chandler and Joey played. The game rules were arbitrary and made up as the game went along. These stupid fucks on Wall Street are doing the same thing for real on a much larger and more dangerous scale. The results clearly show that these pompous, arrogant pricks have no clue what they are doing.

tremoluxman commented on the blog post Germany Enters Bargaining Phase With Greece, Spain
Greece, Spain, Ireland, and Portugal should all tell the Gerries to fuck off and go back to their own currencies. Could that possibly much worse than what they are now experiencing? Maybe for the short term, but over the long haul, they’d be better off.

tremoluxman commented on the blog post Greek Eurozone Exit Mulled Over in Germany
This shit-sandwich is the result of making sure the bond-holders, bankers, and investors get 100% coverage instead of promoting a growing economy for the middle class. A truly fatal short-term strategy that ultimately benefits no one.

It would be poetic justice if the French and Greeks changed economic course and their economies recovered while the rest of the EU tanked further. I’d laugh my ever-loving ass off.

tremoluxman commented on the blog post US Health Care Still Radically More Expensive Yet Not More Effective
“So why can’t the US “free market” produce a more efficient outcome than a dozen other regulated world markets?” –
The ‘Free Market’ is bullshit. The market is anything but free. They don’t compete; they collude and price-fix. The insurers have the country divided up into territories where they don’t poach each others customers. It’s one big feudal system.
