When Cheney opens his corrupt mouth just do the complete opposite. Here is what i mean. We all heard him pimping Duct tape right? We also keep hearing him pimp our economy. Look at these two investments of his. Got to hand it to the guy. He knows how to make money off the stupidity of this nation.
1. Has most of his money tied up in Euro bonds while touting how great
things are here while banking on the collapse of the dollar to make him
money.
2. Cheney Admits Vast Holdings in Duct Tape and Plastic Sheeting
A potentially embarrassing bombshell hit the Bush Administration today as it was revealed that Vice President Dick Cheney controls a company that has virtually cornered the world market in duct tape and plastic sheeting.
The company, GloboWrapCorp, currently sells between ninety-seven and ninety-eight percent of all of the duct tape and plastic sheeting in the world, according to most estimates.
While Mr. Cheney?s ties to the oil services company Halliburton raised some eyebrows during the 2000 campaign, his investment in the multinational duct tape/plastic sheeting concern went almost entirely unnoticed.
But with recent calls from government officials urging the public to stock up on duct tape and plastic sheeting, lawmakers on Capitol Hill today raised pointed questions about Mr. Cheney?s control of what amounts to a global duct tape/plastic sheeting monopoly.
?According to information provided to me, almost every dollar spent on duct tape or plastic sheeting goes directly into Dick Cheney?s pocket,? said Democratic leader Tom Daschle. ?If that?s not a conflict of interest, then I?m Jennifer Aniston.?
While Vice President Cheney released a brief statement disavowing any conflict of interest, Homeland Security Secretary Tom Ridge came under renewed pressure to explain precisely how duct tape and plastic sheeting could be used in the war against terror.
?If you see someone you suspect is a terrorist, sneak up behind him and wrap him tightly in duct tape or plastic sheeting,? Mr. Ridge said. ?This is a simple thing each and every one of us can do.?
Now that you've read the funny part....
I had a little research idea and it came out far better than I expected. Yes, I really should be working. Anyway...
The Bush administration recently raised our national alertness level to "high" or "orange." Instead of just scaring us, though, they've actually suggested we do certain things to prepare for a biological or chemical attack. One of these is to buy duct tape, which, when combined with plastic sheeting, will allow us to make an airtight seal for our windows and doors. Needless to say, there has been a run on duct tape in the last few days. Many stores have trouble keeping it on the shelves.
The leading manufacturer of duct tape in the US is a company called Manco, a division of Henkel. The CEO of Manco is a man named John J. Kahl of Avon, Ohio. Well, if you look up Kahl's political contributions over the past few years on the Federal Election Commission's web site (www.fec.gov), you learn that Kahl has made the following donations:
$86,033 to the Republican National State Elections Committee
$20,000 to the RNC
$2,500 to the New Hampshire Republican State Committee
$1,500 to the Ohio Republican Party
and several thousand dollars to some prominent Republican incumbents, including Don Nickles, John Kasich, and Mike DeWine.
