Big List of Evil Organizations

, , , ...

1. Starbucks
2. Microsoft
3. WalMart
4. The Gap Corporation (including The Gap, Old Navy and Banana Republic-- I suppose they think the last name is supposed to be funny)
5. AT&T
6. Whole Foods (abominable labor practices under the pretext of being "cool")
7. Nike
8. GATT (General Agreement on Trade & Tariffs), which effectively negates the sovereignty of Nations (with their annoying labor, quality & environmental regulations) and allows nations to be sued for enforcing those regulations on other nations which choose to ignore socially/environmentally/etc. conscious manufacturing practices
9. Wells Fargo (who however, because of their entirely ruthless banking practices, will undoubtedly turn out to be the "Last Bank Standing")
10. Oil companies in general: Exxon, Chevron,
11. De Beers (blood diamond trade)
12. Halliburton - a.) After Democrats take control of Congress in January, 2007 (after sweeping into office in the November, 2006 elections on the failure of (primarily) ex-Halliburton CEO Dick Cheney's disasterous policy decision to invade Iraq, and handing nearly trillions of dollars of no-bid contrats to his old company, those patriotic souls at Halliburton turn tail and move their base of operations out of the US, to their welcoming tax haven (heaven) of United Arab Emirates in Dubai.

b.) selling nukes to Iran;


this list to grow as I add (probably perpetually) to the list

Thin Line between Art & Hoax, Part Deux

, , , ...

Sorry for taking so long to get around to this. I remember carrying an article which I remember tearing out of Time Magazine about an alleged (although neither I nor the Time Magazine writer knew this at the time) support group called "DABA Girls", or "Dating A Banker Anonymous". Some highlights of the article:


The economic crisis came home to 27-year-old Megan Petrus early last year when her boyfriend of eight months, a derivatives trader for a major bank, proved to be more concerned about helping a laid-off colleague than comforting Ms. Petrus after her father had a heart attack.

For Christine Cameron, the recession became real when the financial analyst she had been dating for about a year would get drunk and disappear while they were out together, then accuse her the next day of being the one who had absconded.

Dawn Spinner Davis, 26, a beauty writer, said the downward-trending graphs began to make sense when the man she married on Nov. 1, a 28-year-old private wealth manager, stopped playing golf, once his passion. “One of his best friends told me that my job is now to keep him calm and keep him from dying at the age of 35,” Ms. Davis said. “It’s not what I signed up for.”

Congress Approves $500 Billion For Monument To Human Folly

, , , ...

WASHINGTON—In recognition of mankind's inherent propensity for tragically foolish decisions, Congress allocated nearly $500 billion Monday for the construction of a new national monument honoring human folly.

"From Hannibal's disastrous crossing of the Alps to Custer's humiliating defeat at Little Bighorn, human history has been plagued by senseless mistakes, and it is high time we built a memorial to honor that history," House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) said of the expensive and ill-advised monument. "My deepest hope is that future generations of Americans will one day look upon this pointless edifice and be filled with a sense of awe and wonder at mankind's utter lack of foresight."

"To think of all the ways our time and money could have been better spent," Pelosi continued. "I can imagine no more fitting tribute."

Halliburton Sells Nukes to Iran

Halliburton "sold nuclear technology to Iran"

Senate hearing on foreign subsidiaries of U.S. companies dealing with Iran

Halliburton, the notorious U.S. energy company, sold key nuclear-reactor components to a private Iranian oil company called Oriental Oil Kish as recently as 2005, using offshore subsidiaries to circumvent U.S. sanctions. This clip shows Democratic Senators Frank Lautenberg (D-NJ) and Sherrod Brown (D-Ohio) grilling Sherry Williams, V.P. and Corporate Secretary for Halliburton about the company's deplorable ethics and questionable practices.
