So every morning, I open up www.cnn.com and I read a handful of news stories to see what's going on in the world. For some reason today, all of the news stories I read made me mad...at the alleged victims!
Story #1: Senator Stevens Pleads to Voters
Alaskan senator Ted Stevens, recently convicted on felony charges of making false statements to a Senate ethics committee, is pleasing with voters to stand by him as he seeks re-election. Re-election?!? This man should (at a minimum) be thrown in jail for at least a few years. The nerve...
Story #2: Woman Ties Herself to Foreclosed Home
I'm tired of these sob stories of people getting foreclosed on. Why should I bail out somebody down the street when they made a risky financial decision or was irresponsible in their finances? This is bullshit. This particular woman has a property investments business...my guess is that she over leveraged herself during the boom, and got burned. But if she made millions, would she be sharing it with me? If you take risks and lose, then you should pay the price. Fuck this bailout of people's foreclosed homes.
Story #3: Good Samaritan Saves Crying Woman's Foreclosed Home
Another foreclosure, another idiot losing their house. What's this woman's sob story? She got a DWI, lost her job and lost her home. Wait, so we're supposed to feel sorry for people who drive drunk now? Idiots.
