RetroVision Media: Sarah Palin The Automaton Doll Did Not Crash Due To Great Programming

Sarah Palin, the Republican automaton doll wirelessly operated by clever marketing strategist was able to walk across the stage, ask permission to call Senator Joe Biden by his first name and not leak any precious android fluids in the process. Gov. Palin hereinafter referred to as the Sarah doll was truly a technological breakthrough as it was a significant improvement over the -2.0 edition prototype the Republican Party rolled out for interviews by network broadcast journalist.

We are sure CBS & ABC News’ Charlie Gibson and Katie Couric must be kicking themselves for not breaking the real story. They thought Gov. Sarah Palin was simply a stupid or poorly educated, unsophisticated, intellectual lightweight not ready for the world stage. Couric and Gibson, so called hotshot journalistic inquisitors for the public good, were totally scammed by a pile of micro chips, silicon and lipstick.

Now we don’t want to go overboard with the high praise of the evening’s technological accomplishments because there were moments when the pretty robot had to reboot during the debate under stressful questioning. On to many occasions, the Sarah doll’s default program had to be accessed thereby causing it to appear to be incapable of staying focused and on topic. But again, in defense of its programmers, they had very little time to prep this gorgeous humanoid and in order to keep the overall doll’s size svelte and attractive they had to sacrifice information capacity.

While Senator Joe Biden came prepared to debate issues important to Americans like foreign policy, the global financial crisis, unaffordable and unattainable health care, energy innovation, taxes and the need to invest in education, he must have been dismayed that his presentation was made to look boring when compared to the Republican’s walking talking Sarah doll. Think of it, this mannequin could look right into the camera lens and connect with real people. This doll could actually feel warn and fuzzy. Some people actually felt as though the Sarah doll was talking directly to them. The Sarah doll’s programmers gave it terms like hockey moms, Joe six-pack and NASCAR dads to use when it got in trouble. Joe should have realized he was going to look lackluster next to a android that could find a way to weave the word maverick into every sentence and still keep the viewer from suspecting something was amiss.

Unless the preprogrammed Sarah doll’s software was really developed in China or Japan Americans can rejoice as our country can lay claim to innovative supremacy again. We too must admit our amazement, watching this near glitch-free, almost lifelike technical marvel managing to regurgitate data, undoubtedly hastily uploaded to a miniscule sized hard drive, not meant to operate more than 90 minutes.

In theory, Barack Obama, the younger smarter intellectually tested and vetted Harvard Grad seemingly would be the odds on favorite to win in November against the aged out, short tempered, computer illiterate, John McCain. But this new wonder toy that was capable of impressing the Republican base may have changed the dynamic of the race going forward. That is why we are here to remind the American voter not to be swayed by tricks and gimmicks.

After all, when all is said and done, and the election is over with the Republicans prevailing, the Sarah doll will probably be replaced with a cheap Chinese knockoff, ceasing to function properly. Just ask yourself this question; Why else would the Republicans want to keep the Sarah doll under tight control and away from public scrutiny until November 5th ? Think smart America and voter smarter!

RetroVision Media: Congress Trades Pound of Flesh For Pound of Pork To Pass Bailout Bill

Last night the Senate passed it’s pork filled bailout bill, now being belatedly re-marketed as a rescue plan 74-25 with John McCain, Barack Obama and Joe Biden all present and all voting for it. With goodies like:

* Manufacturers of kids' wooden arrows - $6 million.
* Puerto Rican and Virgin Is- lands rum producers - $192 million.
* Wool research.
* Auto-racing tracks - $128 million.
* Corporations operating in American Samoa - $33 million.
* Small- to medium-budget film and television productions - $10 million

We find all of the above, among many others we’ll discuss very troubling. With John McCain holding himself out to be a maverick, willing to travel the rough road to maintain his integrity, his convictions and his hard nosed stance against pork barrel politics, we find his vote to be another major contradiction of the image his handlers and marketers have fashioned for him.

When looking at the numbers, there seems to have been enough votes in favor of the bailout bill passing without McCain’s complicity. If this bailout absolutely have to pass to stave off the complete collapsed of the nation’s economy, then why was it necessary for McCain to cave in to business as usual congressional backroom dealing?

In our opinion, this would have been a golden opportunity for the McCain mettle to shine, showing he had the juice to force a congressional coup demanding the Republicans sign on to a fat-free rescue plan for the good of the country. We think it is clear now that, John McCain has no juice left

McCain had a chance to put Barack Obama Joe Biden, the Democrats and sticky fingered Republicans in a box, while giving his inexperienced running mate Gov. Sarah Palin ammunition and cover in her debate tonight against Joe Biden. From a strictly political strategic stand point, this was another error that has only caused further erosion of the so called McCain brand. Rather than meekly following the herd, John McCain could have given an impassioned speech on the Senate floor as did Barack Obama indicating the urgency of the bills passing with the threat of his non support should pork find its way into the fine print. This action would have given his campaign the fire power they needed going forward. This would have been an populace stance that angry taxpayers and voters would been attracted to. But when all is said and done, John McCain (F’d) up.

Whether you agree with Barack Obama or not, the one thing most would agree on is the fact that he has been cool, calm and consistent. There has been no wild changes in direction, no crazy ass misstatements (US economic fundamentals are strong) that have to be spun within hours of their utterance and no political stunts (canceling his campaign to take control of the bailout negotiations) or (picking a running mate with the intellect of a burger flipper) that fail to payoff.

What is going on in Washington is why the nation and the world is pissed off. The mainstream media is says our so called leadership has lost the country’s confidence, they say the White House and Congress has lost credibility. But we say it is deeper and far more dangerous than just confidence and credibility, it is a complete loss of respect of the process and the system.

Many in this country have reached the point now that no matter how and who explains the current credit crisis and calamitous condition of our markets, they are willing to let the country collapse in to chaos. We can fathom on other reason why a majority of taxpayers and voters are still urging their representative to vote no on any bailout/rescue package.
Despite being told at some point in the near future ones credit cards might not work, one might not be able to get a car loan, one might not be able to get a mortgage or finance their kids education or retire with a modicum of respect, the vast majority of country is still in favor of letting the financial conditions continue to decay. On the face of things one could be lulled into believing its just a serious lack of trust issue, but we thinks the mood is worse as many of those people are facing all of the above mentioned problems now. With foreclosures, auto repossessions, record job losses, food prices, energy cost, and poor access to affordable health care, all leading to an unacceptable credit rating, this people are in a miserable circumstance and they don’t mind a lot of company.

We think Americans want revenge. We think any thing short of handcuffed Perp walks/parades and some quick show trials of the true culprits will do nothing but keep the masses pissed and looking for their pound of flesh.

RetroVision Media: America is Being Lead By A Ship of Fools

The Bush administration and the United States Congress have exposed themselves as a ship of fools. During the most trying times in American history, when the nation is relying on our so called leadership to come together for the good of the country, to right our financial ship by plotting of course toward safer waters, things instead fell into the usual divisive finger pointing, grandstanding one-upmanship bickering that lead to more inaction, costing America $1.2 trillion in investments.

The 777.68 point drop in the market, the largest one day loss in the history of the exchange, should have been predicted weeks ago when the president failed to take ownership of the impending market perils. The president simply failed to adequately explain to the nation in a timely fashion exactly what was occurring and the disastrous future the country would face if quick, responsible, well thought out measures were not adopted.

The administration and congressional leaders (Nancy Pelosi/John Boehner and Harry Reid/Mitch McConnell) along with both presidential candidates Barack Obama and John McCain should have invited a panel of leading and well respected non-political, non partisan economist to assist them in understanding the crisis and developing a strategy to overcome the financial blight we are confronting.

This should have been done via cable, satellite, broadcast television/Internet, fully accessible to anybody remotely interested in the details. They could have and should have agreed to leave the blame for who ever was responsible for the problem off the table until the country was reasonably convinced the actions being proposed had at least a snowball’s chance in hell of working.

The media could have played a valuable role by checking the details of the plan as the process played it’s self out and be ready to sound the alarm should said plan appear to be flawed. The media could have also used their investigative assets to keep digging for the true culprits for later exposure when things begin to normalize. With this degree of transparency and reliance on real thinkers solving the real problems, we would not have had the embarrassing spectacle we saw yesterday. Additionally and more importantly, the world would seen that Americans are capable of doing what ever it takes to face and solve any problem before us, no matter how dire. It would have been quite remarkable; it would have been cool!

With Nancy(the P word) Pelosi delivering a scathing castigating pre-vote speech, outlining her opinion of the White House’s role in the nation’s financial collapse while she had not locked down enough Republican support was one of the most asinine stunts we have witnessed in many moons of covering congress. Conversely, to witness John (limp boner) Boehner stand before the American people and the world, using Pelosi’s idiotic speech as a reason for voting against the bailout bill was nothing but an insult to the nation’s collective intelligence.

As the events unraveled throughout the day, we envisioned the analogy of the American taxpayer and global investors alike being stranded on a small island, sinking fast into a sea of red ink. If a rescue ship does not arrive soon, were all going to drown or be eaten alive by loan sharking creditors and their evil bill collecting partners. Suddenly, someone sees a sail on the horizon as the sun begins to set, signaling a glimmer of hope. But as we look closer, we see that the vessel we’ve placed our faith in is just a rudderless ship of congressional fools with Captain George (the moron) Bush at the helm.

Why the president and these congressional halfwits tried to pretend they had the intellect to understand what those with mightier gray matter at their disposal than they will ever possess was having trouble comprehending, is beyond our imagination. To a person, our president, congressional leaders along with their flunky rank and file looked lost and foolish in front of the world. Whether you were for the bailout or against it is beside the point, whether the bill passed or not is also beside the point, the main point now is how stupid we look

The people we have entrusted with our futures have been off a proper course for decades now and it is time the country just torpedoed these dumb bastards in November once and for all. If we have to elect a new face, with limited Washington experience but a lot of smarts and a fresh approach then that is what has to be done, for it is doubtful any thing is going to change without making an effort to change.

RetroVision Media: America Is A Bad Credit Risk

Now that the first debate between John McCain and Barack Obama is behind us, and it appears the Democratic hopeful got the better of the exchange, we can refocus on the trillion dollar Wall Street bailout package Treasury Secretary Big Bank Hank Paulson is about to bring home to his partners in crime.

We are being told by all parties concerned that if we don’t make this deal happen, we will all be living with in-laws, we will be dining in the back seats of our SUVs or worst yet cardboard boxes on the street. We are being told that this deal is being designed to give the country time to dig it self out of a hole and restore confidence in our ability to manage our economy. We are being told that this all has to be done expeditiously because foreign lenders won’t part with another peso until we can prove we are a worthy risk again.

Congressional Democrats and Republicans are trying their best to find a way to meet the demands of their masters seeking financial protection, while coming up with a line of bull to sell to the voting public and anybody still stupid enough to loan America money. Congressional stooges, lacking the knowledge, the ethics and discipline to protect the taxpayer, while Wall Street CEOs were allowed to run the country’s financial institutions like a back alley crap game, left America’s credit rating looking like someone with a 200 FICO score trying to buy a Maserati. America is now considered a bad risk in the eyes the nation’s creditors and few have any faith or patience left for American financial leadership; nor should they.

If we look carefully at how things have been mishandled on behalf of the country, you will see a very strong argument can be made for this bailout failing to stem the tide of bank failures and a possible total collapse of our economy.

Our entire economy depends on easy access to credit and heavy consumer activity. We need to spend money on clothes, cars, homes, vacations, electronics, dining out, and anything else you can think of. When the nation is facing month after month of heavy job losses, there are fewer and fewer people able to buy stuff to keep people making money by selling stuff. If people are losing their homes, they are probably not making their car or credit cards payments either. This leads to a lousy credit score which will affect you chances of getting affordable access to credit should things miraculously get better. These days having bad credit can even impact a person’s ability to get another job.

With congress closing the bankruptcy window for Americans seeking relief, people are finding themselves in a very tight box with few options to ever get themselves back on their feet. Once again, fewer people working, means fewer people shopping, means fewer people needed in sales and service jobs, so even more are laid off. When an ugly cycle like this begins to feed it self, it is difficult to stop before all is consumed.

If Barack Obama had touched upon the above realities, he would have scored a knockout blow in the first round of these three debates. Had Obama brought to the debate the sad tales of people having to move in with family members, the domestic conflicts that develop when money is tight and the sense of hopeless that prevails during trying times, we think there would be no contest left between he and John McCain.

When they meet again, Barack Obama would be wise to drive the narrative towards the huge numbers of people that have lost their jobs. Sen. Obama should point out how many people now have no health care coverage, if in fact they had any before they lost their jobs. He should tell how many people were responsible in their finances but just had the misfortune of getting sick, with no means to pay their medical bills. What? Can’t pay your medical bills? Here come the collection agencies ready to take what is left on the carcass of your former life. And we need not mention having any dough set aside for retirement and college educations for our kids. Unless our leaders are able to fess up to all the real reasons we are faltering, then we are doomed to continue to fall until we all hit rock bottom. If America’s leadership refuses to acknowledge our true problems, believe us when we say America’s creditors are acknowledging them or us.
