THE INCREDIBLY BRIEF STORY OF HOW WE GOT SCREWED - BY PAUL KRUGMAN
http://www.nytimes.com/2011/10/07/opinion/krugman-confronting-the-malefactors.html?ref=paulkrugman
In the first act, bankers took advantage of deregulation to run wild (and pay themselves princely sums), inflating huge bubbles through reckless lending. In the second act, the bubbles burst — but bankers were bailed out by taxpayers, with remarkably few strings attached, even as ordinary workers continued to suffer the consequences of the bankers’ sins. And, in the third act, bankers showed their gratitude by turning on the people who had saved them, throwing their support — and the wealth they still possessed thanks to the bailouts — behind politicians who promised to keep their taxes low and dismantle the mild regulations erected in the aftermath of the crisis.
Given this history, how can you not applaud the protesters for finally taking a stand?

This WTF brought to you by, Izzazu, where bad Pittsburgh hair goes to dye.

Yo WTF'ers!
Wow. Are we suckers for distractions. We like things simple.
When to get out of the disaster that is Afghanistan?
Complicated.
Economic recovery, who's fault is the recession, how much blame to apportion to whom?
Complicated.
Whether Mittens Romney is a douche for strapping his dog to the top of his vacation-mobile in a dog carrier. Ok, not so complicated. Politifact rules: Mittens = Douche.
Alright, that's not true. They don't even have a "douche" category. But they should. Especially this year.
Here's something that is simple. And that is unimportant. And that will serve as a stupid distraction from our REAL problems for weeks, if not months, to come.
Secret Service Agents slept with prostitutes in Colombia while hanging around casing the joint for Barry Hussein.
Big. Hairy. Deal.
Perhaps literally.
I have never had sex with a hooker, but I see no shame in it. Disease perhaps, but no shame. But one thing I firmly believe to be true is this: you could have sex with a hooker AND sufficiently case the joint for Barry Hussein.
The proof is in the pudding. Barry O came, Barry O saw, Barry O left.
Here's a critical point- Barry didn't get shot. Case closed. Congrats you SS horntoads, you partied down AND did your job well.
Yet, the puritanical whining and silly histrionics are already well underway.

Five U.S. Army Special Forces service members are among those under investigation in a prostitution scandal in Colombia, according to two U.S. officials, as the scandal continues to swell in both countries.
Eleven Secret Service members have been implicated in the investigation, while as many as 10 U.S. military personnel from all branches of the armed forces are being questioned about potential involvement in any misconduct.
Meanwhile in the Colombia, the fallout from the incident continued, with a top Colombian official saying it's overshadowed his country's effort to showcase the city of Cartagena during the recent Summit of the Americas.
What the hell does that mean? You're telling me every single person who would have taken a tour of Cartagena decided to stay home and sleep with hookers? What a big bowl of bull.
Prostitution is legal in Colombia, so they weren't even breaking any local laws. These hookers are required to get regular checkups for diseases. Prostitution is legalized and regulated to try to make it as safe as possible.
Are you telling me this is the first time a member of the US Secret Service or for that matter the US military has slept with a prostitute? This whole things reeks of the "I'm shocked" speech from Casablanca.
But pretending there should be genuine outrage when it really doesn't matter is a specialty for U.S. politicians.
CNN.COM:
http://www.cnn.com/2012/04/18/us/secret-service-colombia/?hpt=hp_t2
"Sen. Susan Collins, in a conversation with the Secret Service, was told that 21 U.S. personnel are involved in the investigation, and she evidently misconstrued that to mean that 21 prostitutes were involved," a source familiar with the investigation said.
Collins' office disagreed with that account, saying, "There was no misunderstanding."
"The whole behavior is so incredibly dangerous and risky particularly for those who are charged with the solemn obligation of protecting the president of our country," Collins told CNN.
Sounds like they did their job, even though some of the time was apparently less solemn than others.
Should they also not drink? Should they make sure not to read or watch TV because if their mind wanders elsewhere for a few minutes they'll totally forget to make sure the President is safe?
I've heard this nonsense that the hookers could have been spies. C'mon. And is there one SS agent dumb enough to say "hey, thanks for the sex in exchange for cash... here's a detailed schedule for the President outlining his whereabouts throughout his visit, just for you Sweetie Poo."
WE'RE. WASTING. TIME.
We have real problems. The time, effort, money, and resources used to investigate this non-story are simply added onto the giant pile of meaningless B.S. that we worry about.
I think we're even better at wasting time than we are wasting money.
And that takes some doing.
which is somewhat ironic since it was apparently a dispute over 47 dollars that led a prostitute to complain and jump-start this "scandal."
Incidentally, I like my Colombian prostitutes like I like I like my Colombian prostitutes like I like my Colombian coffee... dark, lively and fair-trade.
UPDATE: SS HOOKER TALKS TO NYT!
http://www.nytimes.com/2012/04/19/world/americas/colombian-escort-speaks-about-secret-service-scandal.html?_r=3&hp
Sitting on a couch in her living room wearing a short jean skirt, high-heeled espadrilles and a tight spandex top with a plunging neckline, the woman described how she and a girlfriend were approached by a group of American men at a discotheque. In an account that tracked with the official version of events coming out of Washington, but could not be independently confirmed, she said the men bought a bottle of Absolut vodka for the table and when that was finished bought a second one.
“They never told me they were with Obama,” she said. “They were very discreet.”
So, if this account is true U.S. secrets, Barry O., and the fate of the western world were NOT hanging in the balance. The only thing apparently hanging around were testes, and the hooker got quite testy when the dude wouldn't pony up the doe.
Gentlemen... as the old saying goes, pay the freaking two dollars!
