R.I.P. 'AAA' Rating

Once upon a time in the USA when, say for example a person might be very concerned about being connected to 'XXX' ratings of any kind because of Triple AAA investments involved in XXX cinema properties and such events could incite a RICO or DEA knock door, drag down investgation-mothers and kids not withstanding. But we have evolved as a Nation, in fact the global community is so immune to "XXX", that 'x' has been replaced with 'A' as the letter to watch. As the saying goes, $$$ is power, unless you're in Egypt where "P*ssy (XXX)remains in Power." I'm quoting research, this is not personal opinion. In the course of reading the past week's hoopla over budget ceilings and financial ratings I wondered why we sounded like a bunch of kindergarteners fighting over our alphbet noodle soup, so I decided it was time to do some journalistic research on the differences between a double AA Triple AAA and the rachmunus of them all, the A rating. If you receive an "A" rating you might as well get thee to Greece because it appears once you're rated that low, even you if CAN speak Mandarin, you can bend over and kiss your XXX's ahem, AAA's goodbyeAmerica has completely emasculated/dessimated its male population, even muscle bound brooders have a female quality, cars have shrunk smaller than half the reading scores in Williamsburg. Who thinks this a temporary situation, until the economy 'picks up' Does anyone read Mark Bittmans's NYTimes food column based out of NYC? One can measure the course of human events in America by Bittmann's rise and fall. Do you know how long it took Bittmann to get out of his 2'x3' kitchen with his 6" counter space, 1 cabinet and half sink? His hair is almost white. He looks back with some nostalgia, now that he's pulling 6 figures...some of them AAA-AAA and some of them XXX. gei vais This historic moment in American budgetary history is brought to us at the same time the President's rating is at an all time low. While at the same exact time the media (somebody has got to be paying these guys under the table to say this) are asking the public "Is this a recession?" When I look at an A rating, I find depression comes to mind, not a recession. The government has decided to go the route of what you see is not what'll you'll get-that A is really a triple AAA, you just need to have some faith in your glasses, banknotes and the BS we're pumping out as fast as the bills we're printing to pay the Chinese what you owe them. I read today Americans need to learn how to live frugally. There are thousands of community gardens in NYC and its boroughs and this year vegetable theft is at an all time high. For the frugal among us, that wont be hard, it was a lesson learned many lifetimes ago. One thing I may start in the morning is stop feeding the neglected calicao cat

who visits soon as its daylight crying for food because her owner fell asleep watching TV and she seems to have gotten the budgetary news sooner than me. It was pouring this morning when my neighbor drove out and kitkat began mewing, I threw on my gown and scarf, oh the boys knew something was a foot and they're running back and forth until the door opens and they see sheets of raindrops plopping on the porch as a raggedy wet meowing upset kitty aska if she can come up the steps...to eat? Not one to be presumptuious, she reminds me of Oliver Twist with bowl in hand asking politely out of hunger. Lately her sweet gentle face is stressed, I dont know if she's been inside sheltered space for some time. What kind of witch leaves her animals out in electric storms and pouring rain? I'm waiting until it gets cooler, if I see this animal still outside, she's coming inside. Even now she rubs against me, wants to be petted and talked to. The boys have become skittish because of new neighbors, more cars in the back so they are nervous when she comes by, whereas before B would sit nose to nose like a friend had come to visit and no one hissed or got itchy over food or ratings or xxx, mostly because their all fixed but more so, because they just have more sense.
