Grrrrr!

Well, folks, the wagons are circling. All the crooks who cooked books, who put in place policies that got us into this mess, who knowingly took money ... in other words, those who are responsible for the financial mess in which we find ourselves ... are making sure their butts are covered.

Oh, there are sure to be hearings. But just like the 9/11 Commission, we'll have the architects of the problem up there at the big table, making sure everyone who SHOULD BE IN PRISON is going to skate. Nobody's going to answer for jack.

Except the taxpayers, of course.

And all this bailout crap is going on behind closed doors, too. Between mostly Democrats. We're going to wind up with a gargantuan stack of documents that the public won't know anything about ... well, except for what the people who wrote it deem necessary for us to know. Which is a whitewash of the truth.

I still haven't heard ONE WORD in the mainstream media about ACORN getting 20 percent of this $700 billion or whatever the total bailout winds up being. And I guaran-damn-tee you that they won't report, either, that all these people who jumped at 1 percent adjustable rate mortgages and now are facing foreclosure because their five-year period is up and the rate jumped to 9 percent will get to keep their 1 percent rates.

That's right. You and I and tens of thousands of others, who stayed a responsible course with our finances, now get to pay for the tens of thousands of others who couldn't see past the ends of their noses and/or thought they could get something for nothing and damn the consequences.

The media, you see, is too interested in looking under every rock in the state of Alaska to concern themselves with the truth behind the biggest financial scandal in this nation's history. And because they're not interested, we're not getting anywhere near the truth why this happened, let alone a means to ensure it won't happen again.

Instead, we're depending on the arsonist to put out the fire.
