Judging by the shrillness that is Americka, Colombia will be our economic ally for decades to come. Most of the Boomer population, clinging to power, fueled by excess Cocaine, has seen to that.

Billy Mays, Jim Cramer, Larry Kudlow, Dubya.
Blood vessels bursting at the seams, living to dead, bursting with ENERGY, fueled by coke.

Two things I bust the popcorn out for these days:

* CNBC or any over coke fueled spectacle. Mostly Boomers. Imploding slowly. That’s not a teleprompter they’re looking at, it’s a mirror of Narcissus. And you thought that was the Pelosi blank stare.

* A good Darwin Award-like Boomer death.. we just had one in PA where one took out 2 more of his species.

And if you think either of these things are going away, think again. Boomers are joining the AARP, much to the horror of my parents.

So expect a lot more bloviating and graceless exits.

I started watching CNBC especially the 6 to 8 pm slots early last spring after reading about the coming melt down on the blogs. It was fascinating to watch these two hucksters, Cramer and Kudlow bob and weave while spewing (no other word for it) their pro market, “free” market jive. They were never right of course but both have what the cables want ENERGY. That’s all that matters. I heard Cramer tell his audience of sheep that Bear Stern’s was solid, a week before they went down. All the clowns on CNBC are really unwatchable. I no longer tune in.

“‘The defendant will use such money to buy cocaine,’ she stated in an affidavit, ‘and in so doing will likely suffer a fatal overdose and will dissipate the only remaining liquid marital assets.’”

Thx 4 teh lulz, Ku-Dawg. Your rich ass may be on TV, and you may get rewarded for failure, but damn.

I wonder, does addiction afflict the rich more? The one acquianttance I had who was a full-blown crack addict had a trust fund and even a scholarship named after him. The funny thing was it took us a while to realize that he had a problem, because he was such an asshole before he was addicted it was hard to tell when he was smoking it.

“Uh, What? The eXiled coming out against drug use”

The eXiled is coming out against coke use, which in their eminent wisdom they have described as “fool’s meth.”

They’re coming out against half-assed drug use, but I pity the crackhead who forgets that they’re in favor of the real thing.

My mama told me that doing cocaine is God’s way of telling you that you’re too rich.

Uh, What? The eXiled coming out against drug use … blaming it on this guy’s ridiculously priveleged, single-minded, selfish ideology? Those are the signs of a straight up, rotten animal … not the signs of a coke addict. And, honestly, I’ve never met a cocaine addict. It’s way too expensive, short-acting, and plain old not addictive enough.

Why does he start off yelling about being pissed off and then switch to “darn” later on. Is there some nuance of TV punditry I don’t understand?
