Sometimes

Sometimes I just have random thoughts....like this morning

My grandfather was a pretty well respected banker back in Louisiana. He died several years ago, but for some reason the thought popped into my head this morning "I wonder what he would have thought about all the banks and the bailout money?" I mean he was a banker back when you were expected to have a down payment for your home, plus money to cover closing costs. I wonder what he would have thought of the no money down, choose your payment crap that was being sold? I'll have to do some research and see if anyone has dug up a crusty old banker and got his thoughts on all this bullshit goings on......

Couple more thoughts for everyone based on some e-mails between my sister and I....

I have a couple of oddball thoughts on the bank execs thing, as I am known to do occasionally.

First, we put the bank execs on the train and take them on tour. We call it "art" perhaps by smearing them with the leftover tomatoes, or paint or something. Then we get a NEA endowment for it and tour for free…….we could call it "banks in bondage or something cool like that. We could get millions

Second, we form a band to go with the bank execs, perhaps calling it the "traveling banks in stocks", with a nod to the traveling wilburys. Then while the execs are on display, we play a gig, perhaps turning it into a festival and charging admission.


All of the above is an outflow of our original ideas. Mine was an economic stimulus plan that supported the economy by buying $750B worth of plate lunches. If you aren't sure what that is, look up Dwyers in Lafayette, LA to see. My sisters was that we take the heads of all the banks that have received bailout money, or gone broke, put them in stockades and pelt them with rotten fruit and vegetables. She was planning on using crawfish heads (very stinky) and I was considering using either fish heads or dog poop.
