Fun With Fannie and Freddie (6-3-10)

Thursday, 03 June 2010 00:00

Hi, this is conservative candor and I'm Dr. Carl Mumpower...

The American tax payer is continuing its expensive love affair with government backed mortgage lenders Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac. Fannie lost another 13 billion in the first quarter of this year and needs an infusion on top of the 76 billion already invested in this romance. Freddie only cost us 50 billion in bailouts, but needs another 10 to fund of increased delinquencies. You may have noticed that Washington's vanity kings are busy turning up the regulatory heat on the nation's financial institutions. Though this exercise has the credibility of crooked Chicago cops busting an occasional speakeasy, Freddie and Fannie are curiously being left out of the conversation. When you're having an affair with your secretary, it's not a good idea to take disciplinary action against her. One such boss is Christopher Dodd, Chairman of the Senate Banking Committee - Fannie and Freddie's largest beneficiary. Yes, that's correct; little Fannie and Freddie are contributing to the same politicians that supervise their activities. It's called incest on the streets of common sense - business as usual on the streets of Washington...

Talking Head Theater (9-3-10)

Hi - this is Dr. Carl with today's candid conservative minute...

Though the conservative movement is blessed with some brilliant voices, it might be time for a drug screen on the studio water coolers. Some of the sharpest minds in the business are increasingly demonstrating behaviors typical to histrionic psychiatric patients. Glenn Beck, Rush Limbaugh, and Ann Coutler can blow away the left with their wit and wisdom. More and more they seem to be trying to blow up their polls. Who the heck cares whose number 1? What conservatives care about is cognitively correct perspectives on social, governmental, religious, and other matters that bring us closer to truth. Slapstick comedy, head banger music, and juvenile presentations distract from and damage the essence of the discussion. Leave the polls, slapstick, and hysterics to the guys who are best at it - the leftheaded talking heads. Our important conservative voices need to get back on track with their compelling dedication to reality, reason, responsibility, and right. As has been proven, the polls will then take care of themselves...
