So when do we get a scapegoat?

Post by darter »

It just occurred to me that this financial crisis is missing a scapegoat. What the hell is going on? Who's scripting the drama here? Where's the antagonist? If I'm not provided someone to vilify by next week I'm just gonna consider this whole matter too complicated and watch something else on the T.V.

Funny, but funnier given I know some dumb ass jews.
Look, you have to establish context for these things. And I maintain that unless you appreciate the Fall of Constantinople, the Great Fire of London, and Mickey Mantle's fatalist alcoholism, live Freddy makes no sense. If you want to half-ass it, fine, go call Simon Schama to do the appendix.

I'm pretty sure the notorious Jews On Bikes did it.

Once again, relying on family connections to come out ahead … :disshame:

Other than one person who is actually a little "touched" (as we might say in the South), Ali's family* is full of smart, upstanding people, so you win.



*Who, let's face it, are the only Jewish people I have observed face-to-face outside of banks, pawnshops, or crazy anti-semitic websites that - get this - actually think that Israel (of all nations) was behind 9/11.

Oh, come on. That's so fucking dumb. What kind of chimp would believe that?
