Droning

Since the AFC and NFC championship games, there have been three topics the media can’t get enough of.  Scandals, fines, and what the chunky soup spokesman has to say about these things.  It's a bit boring to consider this is the focus of the two weeks leading up to the Super Bowl.

“Deflate gate” has us questioning if the Patriots can make it to the Super Bowl without cheating?  They’re good enough, but they never let that get in the way of breaking a few rules to gain an advantage.  “Spy gate” is 7 years in the past, another scandal that led to the Patriots being known for a legacy of cheating.  Players of teams that lost the big game to them will always question the legality of their game plan and the air that it holds. 

On the other side of the field we have the running back that’s fined for everything.  Lynch makes clear what’s worth paying a fine for.  He would rather show up and make a complete ass out of himself, repeating one word or phrase in response to all questions rather than take a fine for not speaking to media.  Yet he’ll take a fine every time, just to grab his junk on the field.  With retirement right around the corner, maybe he’s being careful how he spends his money.

Why does the media always chase after Lynch, when there is a Seahawks corner who is never at a loss for words?  Sherman wants us all to know that Brady is not the clean-cut good guy every one sees.  Sherman says he trash talked Brady after their last meeting in 2012, because Brady started it.  Brady claimed he had no idea Sherman was talking trash, but thought he was congratulating him on a good game.  He might need to step it up a notch, if he expects Brady to notice him this Sunday.               

With constant media buzz that rarely varies, you may find it hard to believe Super Bowl XLIX has been declared a “No Drone Zone.”  This theme is spelled out on the field and up in the lights.  We know who the message is really for.  Bill Belichick must know it’s cheating to film the other team with a drone, and being in a “no drone zone” he'd better have another trick up his sleeve.

Today Only

It’s January, and the GOP is in the House.  Now that they have the power of majority, they’re making it a point to lose some of the Dodd-Frank regulations that were put in place to protect consumers from another financial crisis in the future.  When millionaires control the industry, money plays a greater importance in their minds than the welfare of the people.  The House can’t loosen their reigns on Wall Street quick enough to appease their inner gambler. 

The GOP is determined to replace home signs that only recently came down, with new signs of foreclosure.  When Dodd-Frank passed after the economic meltdown in 2008, the GOP felt that the regulations were taken to far.  According to the House majority, regulations on Wall Street were unnecessary as the housing crash wasn’t that bad.  When they took control this January, they began pushing for immediate reform to the Dodd-Frank bill.    

These magicians are pulling carrots from their hats rather than rabbits.  They squeeze reform to the Dodd-Frank bill into provisions of must pass bills such as the recent terrorism-insurance bill that passed Jan. 8.  These “today only” must pass bills may eventually dilute the Dodd-Frank law to the point it doesn’t serve it’s original purpose. 

Elizabeth Warren responded to Congress repeal of certain aspects to the Volcker Rule, “…I will tell you that I’m madder than hops about repealing the section of Dodd-Frank that is designed to lower risks in exactly the area where the big banks got into trouble.” (Bair, 2015)  You can almost hear the GOP laughing, saying, “What a dumb bunny.”  Elizabeth Warren isn’t the type to just go away.  She will stick around to try and help them pull the rabbit from the hat in their future acts.

While she has the support of many liberals, she has said she will not run as a 2016 presidential candidate.  Warren’s, this means war attitude, will remain in the front lines as we see more attempted provisions to the Dodd-Frank law in our future.  She did win one recent battle of keeping a Wall-Street insider out of Washington.  Antonio Weiss, a former Wall-Street banker, withdrew his nomination for a top-policy position in the Treasury Department.  With the impact she’s made from the Senate, that may be the best position for her.

    My banter was on current affairs and ran from 2011 - 2016. I currently enjoy writing satire and horror shorts.

    I chose themes to run against each current event to bring some entertainment to my Banters. I began writing the banter in February 2011, and wrote my last in February 2016.
