Ending Congressional Corruption with NASCAR
There’s a good op-ed in the Washington Times about ending the corruption and money-grubbing tendencies of our elected officials. It involves NASCAR. And although it’s a little far-fetched, let’s look at anything.
LAS VEGAS, NV (April 23, 2009) – In previous posts, I have railed against the money corruption practiced by our elected officials. Taking money [...]
Economic Timing Of Politicians Way Off
Paul Solman, the economics reporter for PBS’ The News Hour with Jim Lehrer, had a great story tonight on The Paradox of Thrift. It’s worth watching. The gist of the story: the more we save, the worse the economy gets. What we need, it seems today, is George Bush’s advice after 9/11: Go out and shop. Ironically, the [...]
Media Bias on My RSS???
I had to chuckle as I sped through my RSS Feed. There were two stories in the Washington Times that together seemed to show how silly some of the right-wingers are.
LAS VEGAS, NV (April 15, 2009) — As I recommend in my book, you should use an RSS feed to get as many different points [...]
Baseball, Cuckoo’s Nest, Casablanca: Explain Today’s New World
This is a posting about understanding the changes we Americans face. If we knew that history – as told by our films and games — was repeating itself, then we might not be as uptight. At least we wouldn’t take the right-wing extremists so seriously.
LAS VEGAS, NV (April 14, 2009) – There is a recurring [...]
I Rest My Case On Why We’re In This Fix. Help!!!!!!!
This is a posting about a recent study on the effect of lobbying on our laws. It proves what I’ve been saying for years: many parts of our government resemble a banana republic and our lawmakers are money grubbers who spend more time looking for personal profits rather than making this a better country. I [...]
How To Assess New President – Our Narcissist in Chief?
This is a posting about assessing our new president. It seems the majority of Americans have the right thinking. Still, there are others, thanks to the whacky extremists in the blogosphere, who will write anything and pretend it is solid information.
LAS VEGAS, NV (April 12, 2009) – There’s an old joke about actors. How many [...]
Thomas Paine Video Revolt. Not As Revolting
This is a posting about a video sent to me by a good friend. It’s a 6-minute diatribe by an actor playing Thomas Paine calling for a tea bag revolt. Although I’m not going to waste money sending a tea bag in the mail to my elected leaders, I think this video is worth watching. [...]
Cool It, Folks. You Don’t Have A Clue.
This is a posting about the goofy balance that the Internet and social networking sites gives us. Sure, we exercise Freedom of Speech. But on the flip side, all of us have to hear or read your fact-less opinions. Frankly, it’s annoying as hell.
LAS VEGAS, NV (March 31, 2009) – So, I read this posting [...]
CIA Involvement? Another Conspiracy Theory Brewing
This is a posting about the Madoff-like Allan Stanford was really working for the CIA. It reminded me of another conspiracy during the Reagan-Bush years that allegedly led to the Clinton presidency.
LAS VEGAS, NV (March 26, 2009) – So I’m reading Talking Points Memo’s Muckraker page. There is a story about Allen Stanford’s number 2 [...]
Preparing For Economic Earthquake
This is a posting about the epic shift in our lives – economically, politically, and socially. Here I use my ROIL system to give you a broad picture of what I see that will affect how you work and live. I’m not clairvoyant, so I need your input too.
LAS VEGAS, NV (March 22, 2009) – [...]
