U.S.S.A. T-Shirt

thanks MtnMan… yes the news just came through on the radio and the markets here promptly went down….. sheesh….. it’s a blood bath out there… bankers throwing themselves under trains and it’s still very early days with this nightmare money crisis….. it’s going to hurt a real lot of people and it won’t just be Americans who suffer from this…..

thanks Steve… I really thought someone stateside would have done this already but believe me the pain from the fallout on this is going to hurt lots and lots of people all over the world so fair enough I reckon….

we have lots of middle class welfare here too don’t worry…..

I have like totally bugger all in super so that won’t hurt me personally but it’s going to root the future for a whole lot of people…... and pass me the violin so I can ramp up the sympathy for all the poor hedge fund managers and bloated bankers out there about to find out how the other half lives…......

thanks Pat…. in someways I’m being a bit of a cynic with this shirt but the underlying concept of bailing out bloated bankers from the consequences of their massive greed and avarice is just gobsmacking.

And I’m sure that life is getting really hard there. Zoltan posted this morning talking about the utillites all going up 30% and rent going up and food being so expensive and she has a good job…..

sadly I don’t think the hard times have really begun yet….. the bail out is finger in a dyke sort of stuff…. and if Bush and his buddies keep talking about new wars that he’d like to be getting the country into… Iran, Russia, a new front in Afganistan etc etc et al….. blimey … I’m terrifyed just thinking about it… and I can’t tell you how happy I am not to live in a warloving nation…..

I can only hope that you guys all turn out to vote and that you all vote for the future not the past….. McCain being the past and that utterly terrifying terminator barbie doll who is his sidekick is the most scary prospect for leadership of your country I’ve ever seen. If that person gets into power there will be such a global backlash it will be truly the stuff of nightmares…..

hey thanks Trevor…...:

HAHA…your asking me what a trillion is….? best thing I’ve heard all day….. my life time as an artist hasn’t exposed me to sums much larger that hundreds at a time… OK sometimes thousands but still…..any figure with more than four or five noughts is all fuzzy and vague in my brain…... :) trillion shmillion …. huge ginormous stupendously massive amounts of money are being talked about and it’s not going to be enough…..if communism doesn’t work and capitalism doesn’t work…. what next and how hard is it going to be to acheive it….?

thanks Adam…. I’m glad you like it…..:)

yes thanks bernd2… it’s a worry all the same though as it all goes down the gurgler…..what next hey?

hey I was thinking Mad Max today my self… yes very likely…. and there was a TV series on a couple of years ago… Dark Angel I think it was called with Jessica Alba in it… any way it was set in the future some time after a huge catostrophic event that had broken America and the huddled masses were everwhere living in cardboard boxes and such like… but there was also all this high tech bionics and gadgetry as well…
so it’s a bit like the coming senario of a deep and bitter correction/depression/ression whatever is somehow something that is already in the collective subconsious….... any way it will all pan out one way or the other…..hang on everybody….. could be a rough ride coming up

hi berdt2 yes this whole senario is getting more depressing as we go further into it….. and I don’t think we’ve seen any real indication on how bad this could end up for ordinary people…... this could get really bad …...

I can only hope that everybody does turn out and use their votes wisely….. the world is watching….. and that means more people than live in Alaska….. crickey that person is a scream isn’t she….. she’d leave me screaming very quickly….. I mean just get Paris Hilton to be VP ….. .she would be just as effective…..

thanks DesignsbyDebs…. glad you like it…..:)

honey you just come on over.

Oz democracy means it’s compulsory to vote… and to pay a medicare levy so that all people have access to healthcare and it’s also compulsory here to have superannuaton…... everybody must save for retirement….. low income earners who deposit an extra $1000 a year into their super account attract a $1500 bonus from the government and all our new mum’s get a $5000 gift from the government.

why don’t you apply for a Churchchill fellowship or some such thing and come and do a residency at the local Uni….. I’m pretty sure you’d find work here …...
