Decadent Valet

That Wells Fargo has fraudulently processed mortgage documents using a process called robo-signing has been evident for nearly two years, since scandal enveloped the mortgage industry in 2010. That it kept doing it even after the scandal broke has been known for months. --Travis Waldron

The business of money, the genetic structure of core ideology, these things are presently on my mind in my battle with debt collection that every student loan defaulter faces, and if I had a thread I was following before Bryan Fuller's rendition of Hannibal hit the airwaves, it was probably centered on a hostile deconstruction of Andrew Sullivan. Andy sent me a screen shot of the Amtrak building outside my window, years ago now, when I dipped into his *Daily Dish* after David Brooks dropped it as a gay conservative source, and I have iterated about my email and his gesture in earlier posts. Initially touched by an otherwise condescending move, his media personality ticks me off in a way that Ferguson's so far has not, given that the two of them are tending the homeland's troubled rebel. One thing the two pasteurized Britons share in common: silence on disability dependency. The gnostic Catholic homosexual sends me a screen shot; Niall? pity. The brain power of these two men combined influence policy along any facet of the political spectrum, and they cannot engage me because. Of course, Niall is very aware of the sterility of the welfare state, and I'd be more than happy to steer one of his RA's toward the policy nightmare surrounding matriculation and dependency, especially where disability and healthcare merge on crucial points. I've already got one of Toomey's aides on it.

If I do not enjoy diversity being force fed to me on a gurney, however, I also do not like shady profiteering that victimizes disadvantaged populations unfairly. The tactics of Wells Fargo during the great recession is a beneficent example of the fact that corporate models have also been outpaced by the pressures of efficiency, and that land ownership has irrational aspects to it; let me caution here that for me this is not so much a Marxist/Friedman divide as it is a loss of perspective about territory, who controls it and why. For the purposes of default I am not disabled. I accrued the debt with the chronic condition of my birth, which is true. For the purposes of the Medicaid waiver, I am *nursing home eligible,* and all I have to do is go down to the office on Monday, concede defeat, and essentially join a not unsubstantial class of untouchable, forgotten bodies, no longer human, who give minorities like Tim with his servile and obdurate obstinacy just enough money to live better than his ancestors under Jim Crow.

Dirk Bogarde's deconstruction of his own status spearheads this poison of dependency quite nicely. And it is why I am airing dirty laundry, skirting edges.
