Today’s installment of DisappointmentWatch involves the Office of Inquisition Faith-Based Initiatives, one of Shrub’s notable efforts to trim the Bill of Rights from the top.

You’ll recall that Candidate Barry didn’t have a problem with the office as such — and neither did we, not if it was retrofitted to serve its stated purpose instead of providing fundie pork:

“If you get a federal grant, you can’t use that grant money to proselytize to the people you help, and you can’t discriminate against them — or against the people you hire — on the basis of their religion.”

That was Barry last July. And here it is February already! Guess what?

The last two Bush-family engineered economic implosions were mere hemorrhoids on the ass progress compared to the full-bore apocalyptic catatrophe that is bringing civilization to a grim, smoldering end. The chart above tells the part of the tale you’ll feel first: the complete and sudden absence of income. Unemployment rates will cap 75% in a year as companies take advantage of the unfolding horror, lay off most everyone and triple surviving employees’ workloads, safe in the knowledge they’ll be no complaints.

At the end of the 1980s, nearly a decade of Wall Street lunacy, random financial services deregulation (with the worst yet to come during L’il Abner and Daisy Mae’s Administration) and complete abandonment of underwriting quality in the mortgage industry culminated in the collapse of many key real estate markets and a broad economic recession.

Head Hose Bag: Whoremonger Kristen Davis Ran the Whorehouse That Sold The Mostest Poontangie to the Greediest Wall Street Fuckwits. From Sucking High-Priced Tits, to Being High-Priced (Public-) Tit Suckers, Oh, How the Hubristic Oligarcs Have Fallen.

Not only were Wall Street masters of the universe too incompetent, spineless and corrupt to run their portfolios straight, they were also way too busy pestorking the bejesus out of four- and five-figure hookers and walking around in euphoric post-coital fogs to figure out their businesses were monstrous fucking doomsday machines spinning out of control and winding up to destroy Western civilization. Then again, how could anyone with an endless supply of retirement fund money from witless investors to spend on busloads of fuck-ready supermodels actually care about anything?

Ha. Haha. Hahaha. Yeah, yeah, bring in two bus loads of them! Everyone knows the fucking buses are so much smaller these days. Yeah, hey, the leftover caviar at the bond department – hey, just pour it right on the desks and we’ll fuck ’em right there, swimming in the fucking stinking fucking fish fucking ooze. Oh, yeah. And get the guys from equities research to bring down some of that great blow and we’ll snort it off of their asses before we fuck ’em!
