American Express sucks

I have despised American Express for two decades, ever since I got sideways with them after a layoff and they shit in my credit rating for seven years, falsely claiming that I never repaid the debt. This Boston Globe story does nothing to change my opinion of these loathsome loan sharks, who make the Mafia look like Santa Claus.

Today, Herself and I have excellent credit (none of it my doing), and for some time now American Express has been begging us via unsolicited junk mailings to dip a tender toe in their toothy pool. I’ve thought about sending them a cease-and-desist NastyGram®, then thought again. Let them waste their own time and money the way they did mine. Three-point-four billion these button-down vampires sucked out of the Treasury. Fuck ’em, face down, in the mud, with a big, red, rubber dick.

Thanks and a tip of the Mad Dog green eyeshade to Kevin Drum, who shares my perspective: “Bastards. I really hate these guys and their entire sleazy industry.”
