The Sad State Of California – State of the State

Share Button

Like the “State Of The Union”… I didn’t watch it. Given that I’m not a Jerry Brown fan, I have to say so far he’s done all right. He’s been pretty realistic about the state of the State. And what he’s proposing is much less gimmicky than that of his predecessor. Don’t think he’ll be […]

“I WAS WRONG!!!!!” There, I Said It!

Share Button

Just so my little brother can see that I’m willing to issue a mea culpa when I make a mistake. Here is my comment on a friends Facebook page this morning. He asked: ?”Is Amazon’s Book Censorship Going Too Far By Banning Only Gay Rape Fiction?“ I said: No. Any merchant should be free to […]

Greek Prime Minister – Financial Advisor To Europe?

Share Button

Well, he is helping French President Nicolas Sarkozy push a Climate Change carbon tax, to be imposed on financial transactions. Now, maybe it’s just me, but, given the financial condition Greece is in (oh, BTW, in case you haven’t been paying close attention, it’s worse than we thought), I’m thinking that listening to this guy […]

Dr. Strange-Recession – Or How I Learned To Love The Pension Bomb

Share Button

More proof that unfundable pension funds are poised to nuke our economic recovery. Many progressives will be pissed about Obama caving (yet again, as they’ll say) and spending ANY money on the nuclear arsenal. But this is what caught my eye: The offer was for a boost of $4.1 billion in funding between 2012-2016 for the nuclear weapons complex […]

That’s the headline. But it’s not all a loss – We’ll still get the brunt of the blame for all the global warming and stuff.

Stupid Headline Of The Day – “Your move, GOP: What about the empty houses?”

Share Button

Good Lord!!!! When you read this piece, it’s clear that the headline should be something like “Obama’s failed housing policies helped ensure GOP victory”. The writer spends most of the time being critical of Obama and the Democrats lame efforts to “keep people in their homes”. They failed miserably. Yet, it’s only two days after […]
