John Cusack Blog's to the Huffington Post

November 3, 2008

This past weekend, John Cusack delivered a very heavy handed blog on the Huffington Post titled: "No Currency Left to Buy Big Lies". When referring to the "orgy of excess", Cusack says, "It turned capitalism into a Ponzi scheme for trading worthless paper."

Cusak says takes an impassioned tone throughout the blog and blames the Bush Administration in being corrupt, he says, "There is no more money left to loan or borrow the big lies or to sell them. No more money left to pay off the debt, the wreckage in the wake. The orgy of excess has drained every bottle, smashed the furniture and left the cupboards bare. All that's left is derivative debts -- bets between liars and lies. Trillions of dollars. It turned capitalism into a Ponzi scheme for trading worthless paper. No real value anywhere. No matter how much money Ben Bernanke prints."

He further states, " Collapse, chaos, lawlessness. And even the market voted with its feet."

Commence rant. This post is for the benefit of the under-30s out there who may not be aware that John Cusack was once cool. Generation X's version of Michael Cera, in fact -- slightly geeky, slightly intense, sweet and basically irrestistible. Had "juno" been made in 1987, John Cusack would have played Ellen Page's baby daddy. Of course Ellen Page's part would have gone to Winona Ryder or Martha Plimpton, but that's beside the point. The
