Libor – Less Threatening Than a Bruce Springsteen Concert

“Sir McCartney and that Yank are going over the prearranged-encapsulated time.  Should we cut off their sound?  Or just arrest someone at Barclays?”

In a perfect world, those would have been rhetorical questions.

Pulling the plug on a Ringo Starr and Weird Al Yankovic concert? This I could get behind.  Not breaking down the front door of Barclays like so many pot smokers of the Homeland?

In a less paranoid world, those could have been rhetorical statements.  As it is, they’re just true.

As we’re living in the most mind-numbingly patriotic times ever – since about…oh I don’t know, maybe the last time we were living in the most mind-numbingly patriotic times ever…it’s probably best to just let Senator Reid speak for us all.

“If they have to wear nothing but a singlet that says USA on it, painted by hand, that is what they should wear.” – Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid

In a world filled with fewer Patriot Acted humans, Senator Reid might have been more concerned about Libor and its connection to Geithner…than Team USA’s Chinese made underwear.

In a semi-conscious world, Senator Reid might have been more upset about the rights of anonymous trolls who leave comments near Idaho…than Team USA’s Chinese made underwear.

In a somewhat deeper gene-pool infused world, Senator Reid might have even been more outraged by all the “dirty” Olympian sexy time going on at every Olympics…since long before the Chinese ever started making Team USA’s underwear.

Things sure haven’t been this extremely patriotic while mind-numbing…since, well, since the last time.

**The Lens is going through a bit of an upgrade.  It’s a work in progress…the photos will look much better, as I can now upload larger file sizes.  There might be some “relevant advertising” popping up here and there, because I’ve longed to see what might pass as relevant advertising for what goes on round here.  The grammar?  It’ll suck as per usual.**
