Word Soup

This is absolutely adorable:

it may come as a surprise that a dozen top Countrywide executives now stand to make millions from the home mortgage mess. Stanford L. Kurland, Countrywide’s former president, and his team of former company executives have been buying up delinquent home mortgages that the government took over from other failed banks, sometimes for pennies on the dollar.

The executives responsible for the tricky accounting and bad lending practices that led to our financial implosion are now adapting and making more money off the temporary fiscal apocalypse they helped cause. All while us middle and lower class schleps suffer from tight wallets and engage in simplistic partisan bickering, dumbly forking over our taxpayer dollars to corporate giants instead of American infrastructure.

And as an added bonus, note how the NY Times seems to infer this is all perfectly sound, going so far to include a quote from a happy if not oblivious homeowner, praising how the same people who fucked him previously are now rescuing him from financial oblivion.

I mean really, if I wasn't so angry, I'd have to stop and admire the insane genius that drives this country and its never-ending thirst for cash and twenty inch rims, coated ever so sweetly with a fine layer of precision-crafted, immaculately polished bullshit.
