The Baroque period

Point of Order: 1] Wanna thank Dusty for reposting my essay: deposits and despots & my post next stop - martial law, also Shine girl for putting hher reading one of my books on her blog & Chicklit girl for the review she did on me.

2] PC charger dead so will chk my blog roll when i get another. Until then?

Now I know it is about two weeks left before the general election and that folk all geeked up about this. As well as all stoked on Obama. Now I’m trying to pay attention, but I cannot really because all of my attention is still focused on my loot and getting my small business off the ground.

To me, it is all just a form of trickery and deceit, or as they say in football, a misdirection. I cannot believe the hype, especially in projections and pools related to voting penchant or the electoral map when I don’t collect the data or can read about the statistical methodology. So for me such is neither here nor there, for it would not surprise if he (Obama) won or loss; for no matter whom wins - the next ten years, if no more, will be reflective of a dead economy regardless.

In Georgia for example, there is a jobless rate of 6.5%, which lets me know that for every five folks looking for full-time employment, there is only one available job. Not to mention what we have seen over the past few weeks regarding the vertiginous ups and downs of the US Stock market and the ad hoc manner in which the Feds pick and select who to and who not to help, its no wonder the financial sector has been devastated. I still say Paulson is a fuc boy. He rejected the suggestion of Martin Feldstein for the Feds to offer low-interest loans to replace 20% of mortgages for any US home-owners.

Used to be Baroque referred to music, and ironically music created during the period in which the French Revolution was in (some aspects). The music of the Baroque period was extremely complicated and the word was taken from the architecture of the period and means highly decorated. It was composed between the time of 1600 to 1750 and included greats like Frescobaldi, Corelli, Vivaldi, Bach and Handel. Nowadays, we again have entered the Baroque period (Ba-roke), cause mutha fucas is broke mane. Who would have ever thought that Chrysler and General Motors would ever link up? Or that IHOP would be selling all the pancakes you can eat for $4.99. Or that The restaurant group that Owns Bennigans and Steak and Ale would file chapter 7 and closes all of its doors; or that Ruby Tuesday would report a 97% decline in first quarter income and as a result reduces its prices for dranks and burgers by $1.00?

Folks so broke that we seeing foreigners salivating at the mouth to eat us up. Spain’s BancoSantander is bout to, if they already aint, take full control of Pennsylvania based Sovereign Bankcorp. Aint no more profit to earnings ratios anywhere, not to mention I always wondered how one could post profits without any earnings. And ii won’t even go in to all the job lay-offs. So yea jones, America is Ba-roke (broke). Welcome to the reinvented Baroque period.
