The Brilliance of Bank of America

BofA bought out a bank's credit card portfolio and I received their card. I bought about $500 a month and paid it always on time so, I guess, to punish me, they wanted to charge a monthly fee. As a result I cancelled their card and reported this practice to the Better Business Bureau. I received a phone call from someone who sounded like they worked for the capo de capo who was indignant telling me my account was not profitable. I told her that BofA did not have to worry about my accounts profitability any longer.

Since they came out with a cash-back card which I believe allows them to charge a higher fee for every credit transaction bleeding the merchant.

Now they want to charge a monthly fee for all those who use debit cards.

The conclusion dear reader, if that BofA who advertises about all the wonderful things they do in communities, the wonderful loans to build America, really looks to me, like a bank hungry for fees from all of their customers and banking associates. Yes, a fee hungry bank. If the shoe fits.........

Maybe everyone in the world who owns one of their credit or debit cards should cut it up and cancel the account. Perhaps the governing board will vote in a kinder and gentler capo.

ATTITUDE AT THE U.S. OPEN

The woman's finals at the 2011 U.S. Open Tennis Championships saw Serena Williams hit a strong forehand. If I recall, it was an inside-out shot from the approximate middle of the court to Samantha Sosur's backhand. After she hit the shot, she screamed just before Sosur was to attempt racket contact. The chair umpire ruled interference with play and awarded the point to Samantha.

Serena cursed at the umpire, called her ugly, inferred that this is America to a foreigner, said she didn't want to look at her, said that the umpire should not look at Serena, and I thought that Williams was generally obnoxious and belligerent. If I remember John McEnroe repeated several times that it should be called a let and the point replayed.

It turns out that the chair umpire was right and Samantha said nothing because she mentioned that she understood the rule, and Serena and McEnroe were wrong.

Serena later said that Samantha would have won anyway (it did not effect the outcome) but she did not apologize to the audience, to the umpire or to the TV audience. If she did, I am mistaken. McEnroe seemed to say that some other curly haired guy also argued with umpires as if to say that Serena's behavior was OK.

Now, I love Serena's game but I think her comments to the umpire was so out of line that she should have been fined. Maybe the only balls in tennis are the optic yellow ones on the court. The umpire was not the ugly person on this 9-11. Two were.

Forget Your Color and Grow Some Balls

The notion that Republicans will pay any price to win the Presidency and make the country pay any price by inaction is what I believe to be a correct analysis. The Republicans are experts at using Hitler's approach of repeating lies hoping it will stick. The Republicans are only interested in gaining power and showed this the day after Obama took office. Those are an overview of my opinions. It seems they do not pick out certain Administration ideas they don't like, but attack all ideas and the people themselves. Karl Rove must be doing a daily jig.

This country is in an economic state of emergency and I think Obama does not want to issue a state of emergency to gain powers and wants to be thought of as an erudite nice guy. He wants to protect a black legacy so others can follow. I believe this is a wrong posture. He is hoping that he will get a Democratic congress back and then be able to enact plans. So, like the Republicans, he has opted to only talk the talk. I think he should shed this wimp but nice guy theory and become a Honey Badger and go for their balls and do something as in the word, now!


Take a lesson from Bush, junior and learn the words, Executive Orders and spend money you dont' have. Print the damn money. Try something like declaring a national economic emergency effecting millions of citizens, and order enough public works programs to happen. He should also bring enough troops home to put them on domestic assignments. He should, by executive order, declare that certain classes of products will no longer be imported as finished product, but must be totally assembled in the U.S. He later should have a program for making the whole product or majority of it in the U.S. by citizens. By executive order, he should demand that 1/2 of all farmed out service jobs be pulled back into the U.S. and later increase to 75%. By executive order he should make the wealthy contribute and close tax loops to corporations who do not pay their fair share.

Let the Republicans scream their heads off. This way, I know you will win, your country will win, and get the black guy out of the supreme court and put in a progressive.

DUE DILLIGENCE AND SIZE MATTERS

The Dear Prudence column had a story about a guy who wanted his wife to participate in a mw4mw sex swap. It turns out that because he thought he was good looking and decently hung, he would have the best of the deal. it turns out the other guy was heavy, bald and hung like a donkey.
The wife had a good time and moaned and groaned like a bitch in heat. Now he is insanely jealous and wants to sucker punch his wife and divorce her.

Due dilligence is the essence in making sex deals. He did not perform the most essential. I assume they talked about being drug and disease free, establish a hosting venue, age, and so forth but he did not consider the size as to length and girth of the other man. He should be angry with himself for rank stupidity and not blame his wife for having a good time.

I remember being asked by a fellow who was despondent because he and his wife have an open marriage and she is getting tons of yardage, and he is getting very little outside sex at all. He just wanted equity and not a jealous child. So I recommended they do a mw4mw only so he will get an equal amount and it seems to be working. But this didn't help our hero because he should not have made the deal in the first place.

Now that our childish hero's wife has eaten and been plugged with the forbidden apple in all 3 orifices, I imagine, that this guy should go back to basics and make sure the other guy has a member equal or less than his own endowment.

THE DEBT CEILING AND TESTICLES

My Dear President Obama,

Please go on TV and announce to the country that you are breaking off negotiations with the Republicans on this matter, having tried and found that there is not give-and-take and you feel they are playing with the country's well-being for low political purposes.

Announce that the U.S. does not and will not default on its debts. Announce that the debt ceiling is what the U.S. already spent or contracted for and it does not include any new debt that is outside of the promises that the U.S. has made.

If asked how. Tell them that you believe you have the legal authority to decree this. Let the Republicans scream their little Karl Rove lungs out.

Casey Anthony and Marcia Clark

One attorney for Anthony stated it best outside the court. He said that the media, the pundits (and I include the formerly hot Marcia Clark) should really report news without all of the current and former prosecutors and defense lawyers putting their two cents of guesswork into it. Yes I know cable news is a feeding frenzy to fill 24 hours, and consequently, they are no better than a supermarket tabloid.

I watched a ton of the news and I believe the jury was 100% on target and correct. Personally, I would have acquitted simply based on the smirk on the prosecutor's face. Doubly acquitted based on the evidence.

START SPREADING THE NEWS

Reared in the Bronx, it was difficult to think of those upstate towns as really part of New York. But watching the tube last night with the legislator in Albany, the state capitol, voted to allow Gay marriage. I realized that legislators from upstate towns of New York, joined with the one of the cosmopolitan cities in the world not just to allow gay marriage, but to show all of the homophobics, all of the church organizations, all of the religious zealots, all of the haters, that this is not their America, it is everyone's America.

So, friends and frenenemies, Start Spreading The News. Let's all people of good will let all those in the GLBT community know that we celebrate their victory with open arms. Let's spread it to California and beyond. And as for the Mormon Church in particular. Choke on it!

For everyone in the GLBT community I wish you love.
