Scotus Ruling: Why You Need My Book
The US Supreme Court has overturned the core of McCain-Feingold campaign finance reform laws. That means corporations and unions will be unfettered in their attempts to persuade, distort, and lie to people during campaigns.
The worst part: it will begin a new surge of fundraising by special interest groups that will cause even more economic chaos [...]
Pick One Already!
This is a posting about the non-sense from the media and both political parties about the economy and jobs. It’s best seen through a funny beer commercial.

We Need A Lot Of Rethinking
This is a posting that shows there are more powerful and sinister forces behind our government and our economy. If you are or were an investor, then you will be seeing red when you finish reading this. It will also make you a more cautious viewer of CNBC and some of its minions like Larry [...]
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.

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. [...]
Brainwashing By Political Parties and Religious Motivational Charlatans
This is a posting about what lemmings we’ve become when it comes to listening to political parties and religious and motivational leaders. They’re all harmful to America’s recovery.
LAS VEGAS, NV (April 7, 2009) – The two political parties have a monopoly on our thinking. Here’s what they have us thinking.
The Republicans have us believing that [...]
Las Vegas Economy and Real Estate Still Not Good
This is a posting after I attended a real estate information forum Monday night here in town. I’ll give you some of the highlights – some good, mostly bad. This information is important to many of you outside Las Vegas because when the economy returns, it will most likely happen here first. There’s also a [...]
