AIG Is Too Big To Fail, My A#$!

By now, we all know the name AIG!

However, what some of don’t know are the actual figures, which are sure to get anyone with at least half a brain pretty angry. So today, I will give you those real numbers (but don’t shoot the messenger, ok?): seems like Bush wanted to give us all one last, middle finger when he agreed to hand over $165 million in bonus checks to a bunch of greed-soaked employees who only acted like they worked (truth: these crooks lied their way through the workday) in AIG’s distressed Financial Products unit (truth: these jerks knew that they we’re doing something deceptive from day one). Not only that, but these bonuses happened to be only a small part of an even bigger package ($450 million, to be exact) which these employees thought was rightfully theirs (oh, I’d love to punch a few of these a-holes right in the temple and kidney).

All in all, it turns out that seventy-three of these creepy little, steal-money-behind-everyone’s-back employees got more than a million bucks a piece, and to top this off, eleven of them don’t even work for AIG any longer (aggh … why aren’t we going after these thieves with pitchforks and flaming sticks?).

Turns out that it’s not so easy for President Obama to reverse any collateral damage that the brain-damaged last administration has caused (note: we won’t be getting that bonus money back anytime soon, but at least we could all rejoice in knowing that Bush and Cheney won’t be making any future decisions for us. Woo Hooo!). The best thing that Congress promised to do right now is to guarantee the public that they’ll get reimbursed financially for all the “oversights” that the last bunch of clowns so dutifully performed.

Now, a “little” too late, the media has latched onto this story, and is trying to rally up the conservative troops, without telling the whole (read: factual) story! Fox is now blaming Obama’s team (why, I’ll never know. My best guess: normal people, who don’t want to build basement shelters to protect themselves against the all-too-near apocalypse that FOX predicts, don’t watch this lame ass channel, so they build these incredible stories solely for their target [I mean Wal-Mart] viewers!) So is CNBC (like those finance guys aren’t making money off of this story — yea right!). Actually, all the rest of the news channels are as well, because these bottom feeders can’t form their own opinions, and would do anything to steal the others networks’ stories for rating purposes (Google it – I’m not lying)!

People, if you let this AIG thing sit in your stomach for too long, you are bound to throw up sooner or later! It’s over with, these jerks made a lot of money, we can’t do anything about it, Congress is trying to make sure it doesn’t happen again, and the networks are hoping to milk it for everything its worth! Don’t let it change your life (this is the goal of television: to get you to think how they want you to think, and then have you go out and tell all of your buddies what they trained you to say, all parrot-like. You’re smarter than that, so stop it — now!).

A small confession: I have an AIG auto insurance policy, and they are second to none, in my book (I pay $310 every six months for full coverage, and the next cheapest offer I found was through my old company GEICO, for more than double that! Note: GEICO didn’t want to pay me when someone hit my car in the parking lot [I wasn’t in the car at the time] and AIG paid me right away when this same thing happened to me on a separate occasion).

Too bad I can’t say the same thing about the d@^#heads at the top of their food chain! I hope they get hung out to dry soon!
