Alternate Reality 2

I cant' escape it. No matter where I turn I see news that makes no sense and has only a minimal attachment to reality - at least my reality. By that I mean the reality that I grew up with.

Today I read that my President is about to hand over to Tiny Tim Geithner the authority to seize any businesses - not just banks - that he sees as a threat to the stability of the economy. And once those companies are seized, the government would have the right to set salaries and bonuses for all employees as well as having direct oversight over company operation.

The Constitution has been in tatters since the 1914-1918 time frame. Nothing new about that. Perhaps our generation will be given the privilege of restoring it.

Obama’s mind troops will be by shortly to take you to a re-education center. There you will learn the new reality or die.
