Issues

   I am in fact having "issues" with something at this end, which is preventing me from properly blogging. Sorry for the inconvenience.

Friday Follies

   And what better way to start than with the butt of many late night comedian's jokes: Toronto Mayor Rob Ford. Seems Bobby baby is in legal hot water again. This time, he's being sued for libel by a Toronto newspaper reporter, who says Ford  alluded to him as a pedophile in a recent interview the mayor gave to Conrad Black.
   The reporter in question says the decision was not an easy one to make. None of the claims have been proven in court.
   Speaking of courts, in North Korea there was a kangaroo one recently, which saw the execution of  the powerful uncle of young leader Kim Jong Un, or as I call him Sum Dum Fuk.

   That's Kim with his uncle Jang Song Thaek in happier days. Happier for Jang, cause he was still alive. State media in the DPRK (Democratic People's Republic of Korea) say Uncle Jang was killed just days ahead of the second anniversary of the death of Kim Jong Il, the father of North Korea's current ruler. Co-incidence? I don't think so. Young Fuk is still consolidating power, and bumping off old Unkie Jang shows the process is ongoing.
   I guess old Jang can now be called Sum Dead Gimp.

The Banks Made How Much?

   Canada's banks all reported profits in the last quarter of 2013, and for the year as well. The biggest bank, the Royal, made 8.5 BILLION dollars profit this year, beating last year's record profit of 7.5 BILLION. Other banks also reported either record or near record profits as well.
   Personally, I think that's obscene, especially when one fuck of a lot of people, myself included, have to stretch to make ends meet. A lot of people just barely manage to scrape by month to month, and feel it's fucking ridiculous for banks to make anywhere near that much. Yes, they are a business, and yes, they should make a profit. But 8.5 BILLION?!? What the fuck do they need all that cash for anyway? Oh, yeah. I forgot. They have to pay their senior execs millions and millions a year. Plus dividends to shareholders.
   What the banks should be forced to do is cap profits at say 2 billion per year. The remaining cash should be handed back to the people who pay unreal fees for mortgages, loans, credit cards and even fees to use the fucking banks to begin with!
   But that's about as likely to happen as the sun rising in the west and setting in the north.
   Rant over.
