Nice Going Jon
All 1,066 employees of the bankrupt trading house MF Global got the boot yesterday in a pre-holiday massacre that left workers without severance and benefits—and they blamed only one man for their woes.
“Happy holidays, Corzine, from all your employees who’ve been fired without severance packages!” a worker fumed at her former company CEO as she left the firm’s building at 717 Fifth Ave.
“I have two little kids, it’s almost Christmas, the economy stinks—how am I gonna find a job?” said another worker who just cleaned out his desk.
The 1,066 employees will be paid through next Tuesday, and health benefits will run out at the end of November. Bonuses and other financial perks won’t be paid, workers said.
“It ended like this because of one man,” said Anthony DiMatteo, who worked for MF for 16 years. Corzine is “selfish, greedy,” he said.
If Corzine were around, DiMatteo told Bloomberg News, “I would punch him in the face.”
Another expressed his fury by donning a T-shirt that read: “F--k you, you f--kin’ f--k!”
The pink slips—which went out in New York, Chicago and other MF offices—were court-mandated in the wake of the Oct. 31 Chapter 11 filing of its parent firm, MF Global Holdings Ltd.
The $41 billion firm collapsed after Corzine’s disastrous high-stakes investment in foreign debt blew up in his face.
One man. One IDIOT. Jon Corzine, whose best buddy is Barack Hussein Obama. One step away from being the next top money guy for the entire nation.
A man who was Barack Obama’s #1 Wall Street bundler, and was on the president’s very short list to replace Timothy Geithner as Treasury Secretary.
...
Jon will survive - he’s a billionaire, and a friend of Barack’s to boot. His former employees at MF Global are not so lucky
And why haven’t the Republicans been all over this - a Democrat’s destruction of jobs, lives, and families, all in the name of Wall Street greed, all while working closely with Barack Obama, who is running his re-election campaign based on opposition to these very same themes?
If they can’t capitalize on this, we might just lose in 2012 after all...
Being out of the country last week, I missed out on the local elections. GOP did pretty well across NJ. An awful lot of people here in this True Blue state now understand the math that Democrats=Jon Corzine=Barack Obama=Loser.
Please bop over to my man in Old Bridge for some of that vote result goodness - Republicans SWEPT entire districts across the state.

Not a 100% sweep in my corner of the state, but local voters elected Republicans about 75-85% of the time in the 5 counties around here in the northwest corner:

Not that very many people ever read this far down, but this blog was the creation of Allan Kelly and his friend Vilmar. Vilmar moved on to his own blog some time ago, and Allan ran this place alone until his sudden and unexpected death partway through 2006. We all miss him. A lot. Even though he is gone this site will always still be more than a little bit his. We who are left to carry on the BMEWS tradition owe him a great debt of gratitude, and we hope to be able to pay that back by following his last advice to us all:
It's been a long strange trip without you Skipper, but thanks for pointing us in the right direction and giving us a swift kick in the behind to get us going. Keep lookin' down on us, will ya? Thanks.
- Keep a firm grasp of Right and Wrong
- Stay involved with government on every level and don't let those bastards get away with a thing
- Use every legal means to defend yourself in the event of real internal trouble, and, most importantly:
- Keep talking to each other, whether here or elsewhere

Oh, and here's some kind of visitor flag counter thingy. Hey, all the cool blogs have one, so I should too. The Visitors Online thingy up at the top doesn't count anything, but it looks neat. It had better, since I paid actual money for it.
