Hippies? Heyyyyy mannnn, where’s the hippies, man?

Stupidity at it’s finest?  Hmmmm, okay so we all saw what happened when we first gave AIG a piece of the bailout money…they went and took their bigwigs to a spa for a couple days and blew through $440,000.00. 

So, now you would think….think…that some measures might have been put in place to insure this would not happen again?  Of course not!  AIG just got handed another $40 billion to make their to-date total of bailout $150 Billion.  They musta been excited because they threw another party!   This time the big boys went to England for a hunting party at the cost to the American Taxpayer of $86,000.

New York Attorney General Andrew Cuomo ordered AIG to cease on the golden parachutes for executives, spas, parties and golf outings while taking government money to keep their business afloat.  (rap rap rap on your head, Cuomo….do ya not think someone would have decided this before they were given ANY money?? – Hello???????  McFly!!!!!!!!!!!!)

Oh, and just to make stupidity even more stupid?  (is that possible?) American Express has been granted the status of ‘bank holding company’.  So what you say?  So now they can get a cut of the bailout pie.

Doesn’t this sorta remind you of when a family member dies and everyone comes out of the woodwork looking for a piece of the estate?  Our country is on the verge and all those vultures are in the lurk. 

Where are the hippies I say?  The protests and sit in’s?
