Asshat of the Decade Award: U.S. Congress

morons

Fucking Morons, Asshats of the Decade, 2000-present

It’s that time of the decade again: iBC presents “The Asshat of the Decade Award.”

I know some of you republican motherfuckers will point fingers at the democrat cocksuckers (pun intended!), regarding the misery that was inflicted on this fat nation and who is to blame—over the past 10 years. From banking deregulation, y2k asshattery to bailouts and absurd military tactics, this country is being led by a multitude of asshats, who must find pleasure in ruining this nation, mainly for shits and gay giggles.

The disaster, better known as “the stock market,” has fucked up America’s mojo over the past 10 years, thanks to a variety of bubbles, coupled with absolute lunatic fringe spending sprees by our elected officials. It is emblematic of how retarded this country has become, no offense to firemen of course.

Many of you will argue that the “Asshat of the Decade Award” should go to a single man/woman, like George Bush, Greenspan, O’bama or even Barney Frank. However, taking a step back and looking at the whole “pastiche,” I can honestly say those assholes fucked us up something awful AS A TEAM!! Great fucking job bozos. My family and I are looking forward to paying another 10 years of taxes to support this bullshit brand of “capitalism,” that has perversely  ricocheted around the world like a fucking plague attached to ping-pongs.

Everything Congress touches turns to shit AND MORE (if that makes any sense to you, GOOD LUCK).

It’s funny to see some of you monkeys argue for one party over another, as if it made a difference. It’s like one big circus act, with the American people (dressed as clowns) sitting in fun house styled dunk tanks— as their elected officials stuff their fat fucking faces with sausage and pepper heroes— tossing baseballs at them. The only difference between a whimsical carnival and the game Congress plays is: the carnival clown gets back up on the bench after being dunked. On the other hand, we get swallowed whole by gay sharks, dressed in Armani suits, smoking filter-less cigarettes covered in asbestos, sipping on over sized cups of Venti Mocha Frappachinos.

Fuck you very much Congress and congratulations for winning the Asshat of the Decade Award; you most certainly have earned it!

        Do you wear some on your finger? Whatever works – I don’t have a 10% of assets bet like John Paulson. Gold is actually an excellent radiant heat shield but, alas, too expensive – it is used in computers for CPU contacts – no oxidation or corrosion of gold.

      Gold sucks my cock but as the Fly says, if I can make money off it, it’s a good thing.

      The reason the Fly kicks as is because he is loyal to money and couldn’t give a flying fuck about everything else. If you take one thing from this blog, take that.

      Beautiful entry in a long list of classics.

      Democrat or Republican, they all suck some serious ass but it’s really not their fault. The selfish asshole public is obsessed with instant gratification and all other countries also have the same issue. I voted in a right wing guy(that’s center to you Americans) here in Canada and got a populist guy instead. Not because he didn’t want to do the right thing but he couldn’t stay in power otherwise.

    Bravo, Bravo!
    In a subtle way you have diminished the nobility and righteousness of those who argue their side of the aisle. With the exception of a few good men, this political system has gone off the rails. The media hides its imperfections stirring up divisions between class, race, religion, sex, and political ideology.

    At the heart of every issue is greed for money, power, and vanity.

    Look you. Gold is idiotic on an unprecedented scale.

    Gold represents fear and coked out money managers using it as part of their “new” investment allocation model. As you know, gold is the new oil. Very stylish for asset managers. However, the only difference between oil and gold is gold can’t make my car go anywhere.

            Do you envision the sudden death of refineries?

            One of the major bennies of gold as a unit of exchange is portability.

            Kept it a favorite for years.

            Now, you can still make a paper currency that’s portable and stable. But you’d have to tie it to your barrels of W. Texas in a warehouse somewhere.

            Gold, you can take with you, or store in smaller space.

            No, I am merely deconstructing some of the stupidities attached to the anti-gold argument.

            There’s no reason to believe it has to be “Mad Max-ville” in order for gold to be a valuable asset, even if the currency were to collapse.

            I mean, it’s happened in England and in Argentina more times than I can count. Last I looked, London and Buenos Aires are still there.

            They may even have car dealerships.

    Why debate gold? BF is king Asshat of Congress:

    Barney Frank – Democrat – U.S. Representative from Massachusetts from 1981 to present. Admitted to having paid Stephen L. Gobie, a male prostitute, for sex and subsequently hiring Gobie as his personal assistant. Gobie used the congressman’s Washington apartment for prostitution. A move to expel Frank from the House of Representatives failed and a motion to censure him failed.

    just so you know I look the other way too for utter failure:

    How can you award the Asshat of the Decade Award with only the briefest mention (“absurd military tactics”) of the fact that the honorees let criminals con us into wars and ham-handed occupations? I realize that this is a financial site, but those screw-up will end-up costing $trillions – – most of which is being sent to be flushed away in foreign countries. At least the non-war-related wasteful congressional spending is wasted here at home.

    Anyway, after the re-election of GWB and the re-election of just about every congressman and senator who went along with his idiocy, the American voter should have gotten your award.

    Dear God. It’s absurd to talk about the “uses” of gold. Or the kind of people who are buying gold, or their motives or logic. As if any of it matters.

    Gold is a product. Demand for this product is on the rise, for no other reason than that its price is rising. Yours is not to question the reasons why the herd wants it. They want it, and they are paying ever-larger sums to have it. The fact that they want it for “emotional” reasons is irrelevant. Almost everything the herd wants, beyond the bare necessities of survival, they want for “emotional” reasons. Including K-cups.

    Someday, this will end in tears. It always does. In the meantime, you are a money manager. You get paid to make money, not to argue with the tape.

      The most efficient form of government/management is a dictatorship, preferably wise & benevolent.
      Unfortunately, there is no reliable way to find someone to follow in their footsteps.

      No one who has been here for more than a day would doubt that Fly actually has a functional

        I somewhat agree with the statement about a benevolent dictator being the way to go. Malaysia prospered greatly under Dr. M. Granted he was not without fault… having a prime political opponent sent away for a trumped up ass-fucking charge; but I digress.

        Mahahtir was the primary force behind Malaysia’s huge growth and development from the early 80’s until now. Dude was awesome.

    Thanks for this pleasant surprise – I thought we might have to wait another week for it – but no, nothing that could happen could change the rightness of this award. If God ever gave me the ability to sing but one song, I would re-record the following little ditty with the appropriate lyrical correction: the only thing they got wrong was writing the lyrics with “ole” instead of “hat”.

    Asshats in the morning, asshats every night.
    Asshats to the left, and asshats to the left.
    As 20,000 asshats do an asshat promenade,
    Step aside good people, it’s the Asshats On Parade

    Certainly in Blighty we no longer produce anything on a significant scale, except maybe news people at any event beginning with a G, CCTV cameras, red tape and debt.

    We convince China to lend us money, we then buy crap we don’t need from China that uses the funds for expansion to lend us more money to buy more crap.

    All politicians rely on the fact that we don’t notice this, then they can continue to cream a nice lifestyle and feel righteous + judgmental towards others!

    Could not agree with Mr FLy’s commentary. This country has maybe a generation left before the lid blows off. Our fearless leaders are feckless, tossed about by the pressure brought by whatever special interest group they happen to be talking with at the moment.
