Hey, everybody, let's all play a new game. The Excuses Game. Soon to be a Parker Bros. game. Or Mattel. Maybe a video game. Or Wii.
Actually, it's a very old game, but has gained some new converts in the last few months, mostly in the banking sector. Politicians perfected this ages ago.
Here's how you play: Think of as many excuses in one minute as you can for totally fucking over the world.
After you've mastered this, you can move on to the Blame Game. Even the kids at home can play this one. That's where when you've exhausted all the excuses, you look to blame someone else -- your sibling, your spouse, the government, the economy.
And when you've mastered both of these games, you can run a country. Any country. And a bank. Any bank. Because no one likes to play the Responsibility Game, do they? That would be no fun at all.

Brilliant post! Yup, the sleazeball gready grasping gits are morally bankrupt not just financially bankrupt! Now when people get a letter back fromn the bank saying 'cheque bounced - insufficient funds' we don't know whether they mean us or them! Tosspots!
Or churches!
Excellent.
Ooooh this blog contains sarcasm so sharp it oculd cut for real. You're goood. xo
Or lie. You can just outright lie too.
GREAT post! I would have written a better one but the mailman was late this morning and it really screwed up my day so it's not my fault, and besides . . .
Hopefully, we've now got someone who will step up and take some responsibility. Sorry to gloat...
I enjoy your sarcasm!
But I can't share it. Instead I'm incandescent with anger: while millions of sensible, decent people will have their lives wrecked through no fault of their own, the politicians, bankers and others who have caused this chaos will get off scot free. It is monstrously unjust.
So well said!!

truth!
