Blarney Frank was one of the taxocrat architects of the Frannie fiasco, built on the back of "genius" Jimmeh Carter's Community Reinvestment Act, another government welfare program encouraging reckless housing loans to people who couldn't afford them (and yeah, the weasels were well aware the poor couldn't afford them).

Government meddling encouraged the "risk-free" stupidity in the first place, then threatened the banks in the 90s to keep it up or else, but now that the scheme has collapsed, Blarney the Socialist Clown has the GAUL to claim the very idiots and charlatans who CAUSED the problem are going to POLICE the market.

These power-mad parasites can couch their thievery and thuggery in the poetry of "helping the people" all day long. The reality is government is nothing but raw force that produces nothing, creates neither jobs nor wealth, and the few things it's authorized to do by law it doesn't do well.

There's a reason the Founding Fathers feared government power and shackled and divided it with the Constitution. Too bad modern intellectuals are too smart to see it.

When Obama's new trillion dollar "infrastructure" boondoggle begins, he'll find the roads have already been paved with good intentions, all of them leading to Hell.

As Mayor of Munchkin Neural Activity, In the County of the Land of Am, I welcome you most regally…and the naked emp’rer’s new thievery,
But we've got to verify it legally, to see
If he, if he,
Is morally, ethic'lly, Spiritually, physically, positively absolutely undeniably and reliably Lead
As Puppeteer I must insist, he’ll flex his special order-signing wrist,
And he's not only merely lead, he's really most sincerely lead, to strike the blow to Unc Sam’s head-
Then this is a day of Independence For all the Elite and their descendants
If any, yes Jimmy...and mind you, they are hidden, and they are many
Yes, let the joyous news be spread The Last of what was, is almost dead!

I hear what you're saying, the argument that because BMW probably paid MGM a decent amount of money to use their car, it suddenly becomes alright to pirate the film. And I think its absurd to suggest they're heroes of morality.

On the other hand the RIAA and MPAA are such immoral bastards themselves there aren't too many consumers willing to fly their banner (lest they get sued for flying a banner without copyright permission).

I think a lot of us dance around in the grey area, not really right, but not exactly outright thievery. I really don't think a "right/fair" option exists at the moment.

lol. Don't you realize that by watching videos on the sift you're breaking the copyright laws of most industrial countries?


Sorry if it was unclear, the eye patch and peg leg bit was directed at myself

that sounds incredibly like a reverend mother purifying the water of life. <spooky> or <thievery> or both

jonny, I assume that was a sly joke rather than a slight against poor Modest, yes?
Modest and Pyotr were alive at roughly the same time. Similar yes, thievery? Only as much as the Strokes steal from Radiohead or some other even more nonsenical claim.

Well she sneaks around the world from Kiev to Carolina,
She's a sticky-fingered filcher from Berlin down to Belize,
She'll take you for a ride on a slow boat to China,
Tell me where in the world is Carmen Sandiego?

Steal their Seoul in South Korea, make Antarctica cry Uncle,
From the Red Sea to Greenland they'll be singing the blues,
Well they never Arkansas her steal the Mekong from the jungle,
Tell me where in the world is Carmen Sandiego?

She go from Nashville to Norway, Bonaire to Zimbabwe,
Chicago to Czechoslovakia and back!

Well she'll ransack Pakistan and run a scam in Scandinavia,
Then she'll stick 'em up Down Under and go pick-pocket Perth,
She put the Miss in misdemeanor when she stole the beans from Lima,
Tell me where in the world is Carmen Sandiego?
Oh tell me where in the world is... Oh tell me where can she be?

Ooh, Botswana to Thailand, Milan via Amsterdam,
Mali to Bali, Ohio, Oahu...!

Well she glides around the globe and she'll flimflam every nation,
She's a double-dealing diva with a taste for thievery,
Her itinerary's loaded up with moving violations,
Tell me where in the world is Carmen Sandiego?
