Focus on the Family, and the Economy, Me Stupid

I begin by admitting that I like James Dobson. He is a man who gives pragmatic advice to parents, lives modestly, and has found a way to live off of other people's donations for over 30 years. If there is a dark side, its his ambition to be taken as a player in the political field. It's an ambition that can drive a man over the edge, like it has to other public preachers who engaged in excess drinking, drug taking, and the hiring of prostitutes.

Earlier in the year Mr. Dobson said that he would not vote for John McCain. Now, the political arm of Focus on the Family has issued a 16 page flier attacking life under an Obama administration. Heavy emphasis on homosexuality, and the fear that it may engender. Since Focus is a male dominated organization, all of this obsession with homosexuals may indicate a secret, hidden desire for a same-sex relationship, like the one expressed by Dobson's good friend, Ted Haggard. Methinks they protest too much; that Tom Minnery guy looks pretty gay to me...

Good times, bad times for the economy. Good times if you are an oil company, registering record profits during the last three months, over 44 billion from all of the companies combined. Yet, AIG has already gone through $120 billion, they refuse to tell where its been spent, and may ask for more! The Federal Reserve pumped money into all of these major banks, and instead of using it to create loans and stimulate the economy, they held on to it and paid dividends to shareholders, bonuses to executives, and just some squirreled away for a rainy day. The bailout is resembling less like socialism, and more like a dictatorship similar to the Russian economic bailout, where $150 billion has been handed out to friends of Putin, screw everyone else.
