I bet we all can name a number of people hustling to buy their kids neat trendy clothing, or paying for them to take dance lessons and other various parent inspired activities that have no bearing on their upbringing but can quickly suck a meager paycheck dry.

People who spend shit loads of money on personal toys including excessive penis envy Hummers, or boats to impress the homies.

I remember friends who worked for the various aircraft industries who use to complain that their bonuses were not high enough. Their bonuses would equal my yearly salary and as soon as these people got those bonuses they went straight to the mall or car dealership.
Then when the aircraft industry had some serious setbacks particularly after 9/11 these people were featured on news stories wondering where all the money went along with the jobs.

Like your example. A shitty house in California is $400,000 but it does not take a rocket scientist to figure out if you are not making high six figures yo ass should either not be buying a house or move if you seek the American dream of home ownership.

I’ve been watching the reaction to Graham’s comment and I’m just amazed at how so many Americans are turning into such pussies.
We refuse to look in the mirror and say to ourselves I (we) need to cutback we need to take responsibility for our own financial destiny.
We don’t need that new car, home, boat, lengthy vacation, new cell phone, air purifying vacuum cleaner, Air Jordans, spinner rims, built in headrest the Hotpoint oven, that next pack of cigarettes.

This Graham comment controversy for some reason irritates the shit out of me because pundits and media types are using it to rev up more “oh woe is me” politics.
This is why an Obama presidency is going to be a fucken disaster because it will encourage more of this whining bullshit.

Maybe I’m just cranky today and need a strong drink! LOL!

You know what’s so damned funny. I read an editorial that was talking about Jesse Jackson’s comments. Specifically, the article centered on Jackson’s accusation that Obama was condescending to black people. The author, though not an Obamaphile, reached the conclusion that Obama’s so-called “condescension” was just a repackaging of Bill Cosby’s much maligned observance - that black people have been shifting the blame and should be held responsible for their own behavior. Now I see this as a positive assertion, and obviously it undermines Jackson’s entire approach to life. It’s just funny to me that Cosby gets slammed for his views but Obama touches it and it becomes gold - at least in the eyes of the media.

As positive to me as this message may be, I don’t believe that Obama is a great healer who can move us beyond racial division. He focuses too much on his own “blackness” to allow that. I don’t believe his solutions are anything more than an expansion of the government entitlement programs he is castigating people for exploiting. He still fans the grievances of the “have nots” in America. At the same time, he has an elitist personality which is logically, as he has demonstrated many times, condescending to middle and lower income Americans.

Yet the media do all they can to paint him as some exalted, almost spiritual, gift to humanity. They wear their “O” faces every time they ejaculate his praises on television. It’s disgusting to see. I think if they want to comment on Obama, they should get a hotel room to do it.

The vicious cycle continues….
