Hey, since I can't post on blogger anymore (the reason that I haven't guest posted anything in months) for various reasons, I went way off topic here. Can one of you author types put this up as a post for me?
That being said, I really need to get one of those signs.

Ohhhh SHIT!
I need to have my temperature checked, because I’m certain that I am sick. Sick like a dog. Sick in ways that I cannot describe, and it must be something really nasty like syphilis or something because…
…I actually agree with something that Michael Moore said.
Yes, that Michael Moore, the fat, disheveled, slovenly one, who eats truth and shits lies like it is part of his biological process.
Right up until he blames the mess on capitalism, I agree with him. The government took our money and gave it to failed business enterprises in a form of corporate welfare that the world has never before seen, and cannot tell us where the money went because they don’t know!
But I have to depart from him when he goes on to say that capitalism is to blame. You know, the free-market, unimpeded-by-government economic structure that we have that failed miserably because the markets weren’t free and were impeded upon by government. Yeah, that one. Left to it’s own devices, this market would have:
A.) Never bet on the come with completely irresponsible lending because there would have been no benefit to it without the governmental intervention that incentivized it in the first place;
B.) Allowed businesses that participated in this mess to be transparently defunct and in trouble, instead of giving them a place to hide it through government intervention;
C.) Allowed these businesses to fail, which in essence would have redistributed all of the wealth that they had a strangle hold on to all of the people below them, which should have been the democrat’s wet dream – yet they bailed the businesses out (and to who’s benefit? I still haven’t figured that one out yet!)
D.) Never would have created the bubble that burst in the first place.
Shall I go on? The problem is not free market capitalism. The problem here came from government interference in the free market. The problem was any socialist or fascist (and I use that in the sense that fascists controlled markets just like socialists did, but did so while letting them remain privately owned in the nominal sense) tendency to mess with the free market to achieve some social goal.
So I guess I can take solace in the fact that I only partially agree with his flabbiness, Michael Moore. But it still scares the fuck out of me.
I have a buddy in Iowa who just started making and selling these posters. Personally, having a sign that tells burglars to keep out spoils all the fun.
