This is a rather humorous post.

 

This weekend, I found a T-Shirt at my local Wal-Mart that said "VADER FOR PRESIDENT '08: Take a Ride on the Dark Side."

 

Of course, this had the likeness of everyone's favorite Sith Lord, and I had to buy it. I wore it to work, and one of my co-workers and I had a fun spirited argument:

 

Who is the most powerful: Vader or Megatron?

 

Ok, if you're not of the nerdness/geek realm of thinking, then you'll just go "Who cares? It's not real people!"

 

Considering that we perhaps one of the most important elections in decades, it's just a couple of guys having fun. It doesn't hurt that we're both football fans. I'm a Packer fan.  My friend is a Bears fan. Nuff said there.

 

Arguement:

 

Vader has The Force, a lightsaber, a Death Star, legions of clones, an armada of Star Destroyers

 

Megatron has an army of robots that can shapeshift into war machines that can cause much destruction.

 

I'm a geek, so sue me...LOL!

I've always loved this song, and it's really fun to play on guitar. If I can play the entire thing including solo!

Thank you Green Day. Thank you, John Lennon.

 

All I can say is no more giving CEOs a severance package if they FUCK UP. No more deals. Make them just as accountable if the little guy like me fucks up.

 

Believe me, I lost a job I loved all because Jeff Weitzen took over Gateway after Ted Waitt wanted to rest on his laurels. Jeff fucked up, and Ted fired him, giving him a package.

 

Now my current employer fired what was once known as Gateway for the same reasons.

 

 

 

So if this bailout Congress passed gives notice to CEOs who fuck up, that's the one provision I like.

 

I hope people like Barney Frank who backed Frannie Mae and companies like that lose THEIR jobs this fall.

 

I have a feeling that this election is going to be a statement.

 

I'm an angry American, and I approve this message.
