I was reading the virtual newspaper today and found an article about a very interesting story. After I read that one, I found THIS story which was even more interesting. The Chrysler building (which is lovingly referenced to in the musical Annie) has been sold to the highest bidder, that being the Abu Dhabi Investment Council.

I'm so glad that one of the most recognizable buildings in the country is owned by Abu Dhabi. I, of course, am being completely sarcastic. What on earth are they thinking? What's next? Selling the White House to the Russians?

Is it just me or am I just overreacting? I think what bothers me most is that in this article, the Abu Dhabi Investment Council is called "secretive". That's exactly what I want to hear when you read a story like this:

"Hey, Jimmy, your dad and I are going out for the night....we got you a babysitter...she's very SECRETIVE; I'm sure you'll be ok..."

The article also states that the Abu Dhabi Investment Council is managed by the largest emirate in the oil-rich UAE. I HAVE JUST DISCOVERED THE REASON FOR THE HIGH GAS PRICES!!!

These dicks bumped up the gas in order to have the money to buy the Chrysler building....jeez!!!! I HAVE UNCOVERED THE MASTER PLAN! They are playing real-life monopoly with our country. I'm guessing they're buying General Electric and Arrowhead water so that they have utilities...

By the way, new episode of Mind of Mencia tonight at 10:30/9:30 p.m.....slowly counting down to the season finale!

That is crazy. I remember about 5 years ago in my little town in Texas the city councile got all excited beacuse someone wanted to build a skyskraper in our town (this is interesting also because signs aren't allowed to exceed 50ft in my town) then came the bum, bum, bum. It was going to be owned by a middle eastern intrest. "Oh no she didn't" my town cried, and as of this posting, there is no sky skraper in my little Texas town.

You're not overreacting. At all.

Maybe you could check out how the Federal Reserve Bank has been destroying our economy. That is why gas prices are to high. They are destroying 'their' dollar. I would say 'our' but it stopped being 'our' dollar a long time ago.
