I am sorry I just don’t get this afghanistan mess.
Ultimately this is a battle for the hearts and minds of the people.   In fact that can be said about most wars.
So from here it seems the government and the people themselves are no better off than they were 9 years ago.
I seems that their largest […]

Don’t get me wrong, I have enjoyed the benefits of what is called a capitalist society, yet it nags at me when I watch what it is doing to our society.  I have come to realize we worship at the wrong altar.  Specifically we should deify the entrepreneurs, NOT the large organizations. 
 America was built by entrepreneurs.  […]

I see the UAW is shedding 63,000 more jobs.  BUT they aren’t cutting benefits.  There is absolutely no doubt the UAW cannot fund the retirement commitments they have made as the incoming cash flow is declining precipitously.  That is why they are accepting stock.  Specifically, this will ultimately get dumped on the federal government (read […]

With the collapse of real estate and the stock market I find it interesting to note no one seems to be talking much about the status of retirement accounts.
You don’t have to be a rocket scientist to infer that if you are relying on a corporate pension it may be at risk.  Actually I guarantee […]

Listening to the radio talking heads on the conserviative side is depressing.  They continue with the rant of anti gay marriage, strong borders, no abortions.  While these are important issues, the real issue for everyone is the economy and the future of their children.  Letting the Christian right continue to make social issues a political […]

Watching and researching this economic collapse, investor bailouts, TARP programs and the like is resulting in my having to question my core beliefs in free markets and capitalism.  I used to love FOXNEWS and now find it so revoltinly biased I can no longer watch it.  it is been completely cumbed down by Sean Hannity […]

    I am disgusted this New Year.  Like many of us I have watched the simultaneous destruction of real estate values, corporate entity values as evidenced by stock prices, as well as disruptions in the prices of almost everything.  Fundamentally everything we knew turned out to be wrong.  The question remains were we dumb or […]

Hmm. First let’s look at the term bailing.  I beleive that refers to a situation where a boat is sinking and you use a bucket to try and keep throwing water out to slow down the process of inevitably sinking until you can be rescued. 
 I think we can all agree on that.  Now the key […]

It light of the McCain’s campaign fraud regarding one of it’s campaign workers having a “B” scratched on her face by a black man turning out to be a total McSHAME lie that Fox News helped perpetrate, either they (fox) profusely apologise, or change their name to………..
 FAUX NEWS

Watching this election play out has been very interesting.  At this point it looks like McCain will lose by a wide margin, perhaps rivaling Clinton’s 1996 victory.  When you look at it, it doesn’t make sense on the surface.  Even the Clinton’s thought Obama was unelectable.  Whether it was race, or just extreme policies, there […]

First off, it is not that big a deal.  Heck, we (USA) were in debt $53 trillion last month.  So now with the Paulson plan we will be in debt $54 trillion.
 So how do we pay off the extra trillion?
 Actually it is pretty simple, since all debts are ultimately born by us taxpayers.
Let’s assume there […]

I keep hearing people say one candidate or the other is the “lesser of two evils”.
 Before you vote that way, just remember EVIL IS EVIL!!!

Here is a simple quiz.
1.  How much of our trade deficit is due to buying oil from foreign sources?
     a.  about 50%
2.  If we drill more will it lower gas prices?
     a. of course, increasing supply would lower prices
2.  Would lower prices increase consumption?
     a.  of course, note how recent high prices lowered consumption
3.  How […]

Ok, I have always been a republican, small government and low taxes was the platform I thought. 
Complete rubbish. I didn’t realize they were destroying the value of the dollar, running up huge deficits, and waging a perpetual military enterpise.  Of course, I was a republican because all the socialist propaganda from democrats was just plain […]

I think most of us worry to much about the price of gas, rather than the much larger strategic implications of oil prices and whom we buy it from.
We currently buy 75% of our oil from outside our contry.  This is of the order of 15 million barrels a day!  This is more than the […]

Well here we go again.  We have disastrous flooding throughout the midwest.  We have all seen pictures of thousands of partially submerged cars.  All of those that are insured are effectively “totaled”, and will be taken by insurance companies as “salvaged title cars”. 
 What happens to these cars.  Well from first hand information these cars are […]

So let’s carry our current immigration policy down to the personal level.
One day you come home from work and find a foreigner has broken into your house.  He says, I did it!  BUT, I did it because it is mich nicer than mine and I want to improve my life.  So you MUST share it […]

So let see if I remember my history correctly.  Bill Clinton sells NAFTA as well as free trade around the world.  Of course the pitch is we open our market which is already the biggest on the planet, and we get access to dozens of small undeveloped markets in exchange.  Just think of the growth!  And […]

This picture sums it all up.
 

I think everyone is well aware that Al Gore is the front man for Alternative Energy (we need it) and extra taxes on the American public (which we don’t need).  He is a key investor as well as partner in many Silicon Valley venture Capital startups that focus in this area.  He is in fact […]

Takes about 15 minutes.

I just returned from 6 weeks in Thailand and Cambodia.   One of the best sights is the night safari in Chaing Mai, Thailand. Unlike many Asian zoos where you can’t help fell bad for clearly abused animals (phnom phen in Cambodia comes to mind), this tourist sight is incredible. 
You start the tour with an hour […]

Hillary has obviously lost a nomination that was hers.  Why?  Because she had a bad strategy!  She took the resT of the United States for granted, thinking that Ca and New York was enough.  She literally left the rest of America to be organized by Obama.  Scary awful for a leader to leave huge territories […]

 
I am only writing this to confront Hillary supporters who thought she could be Commander in Chief.  No matter how you cut it she failed abysmally at her first attempt.  After all, the campaign, like War, belongs to her not her staff.  So let’s see what happened.
Her staff gave her intelligence that said she had […]

Ok, So I am First!.  But without going through all the arcane democratic party rules affecting superdelegates and especially TEXAS delegates, there is now NO CHANCE for Hillary to win.
She cannot catch Obama.  In fact, if you were to believe in conspiracies, the Texas delegate rules are specially designed to disenfranchise her Latino voters in […]

 
By now everyone knows Shrillary and Obomba are running on a slogan of change.  But they never talk about exactly what is going to change.  Well I think it means they are going to take my dollars and give me pennies, nickels and dimes back.  We call that change..

Why isn’t the media covering these stories?

With the record metal prices criminals are going to new lengths to steal metals and sell them to recycling companies.  Anything with significant copper, aluminum or other valuable metal content is a candidate.
AUTOMOBILES
Catalytic converters contain significant amounts of platinum and palladium.  These metals are at record high prices.  Unbelievably, […]

This was sent to me by a reader, thought I would pass it along..sad commentary that sometimes it isn’t even safe to be a good citizen.

Is this a commentary or what?

Why Most Men Are Republican ANY QUESTIONS ???????

 
So income redistribution of $600 is supposed to stimulate the economy.  Forget the fact we don’t have it to begin with, since we can just print it.
Why be so stingy?  Why not give $5000 instead?  I mean if $600 is good, $5000 would be better.
Wait…why stop there.  Let’s make it $50,000 each.  And a new […]
