I was scrolling through the depressing news on CNN about our economic future and as I was reading an artcile about 7,000 more people losing their jobs and executives taking pay cuts and wage freezes something occurred to me. What if this is that wall that everyone was talking about?
For decades people have been saying [...]
That Wall Everyone Was Talking About
Recession Is A State Of Mind
This recession, like pretty much every recession before it, has its genesis in some event or government policy that went financially wrong. People got burned and suddenly the market went crash and people started losing their jobs. This one can be traced back to when the government deregulated the banking industry and allowed the banks [...]
Dear Governor Paterson
Hey man,
How’s it going?
Look. I just read this statement of yours on CNN.com:
http://www.cnn.com/2008/HEALTH/12/18/paterson.obesity/index.html
I hope the link works because it is a brilliant piece of political baloney and I want to be sure my readers get a chance to savor the baloney flavor as well.
You know, it isn’t so much that I mind that my can [...]
I Remember Christmas
Have you seen those car commercials yet that have people in their late 30’s or early 40’s re-living childhood memories while looking at the new car they just got for Christmas? The one with the kid riding the Big Wheel through the house reminded me so much of my childhood Christmases that I actually enjoy [...]
Showing The Bills The Door
Ok. That’s it. I’ve had enough.
Call me a “fair weather fan” or whatever makes you hardcore Bills’ fans feel better but I have seen enough of the Buffalo Bills to last me a life time. You all know that when Ralph Wilson passes on that the Bills are going to be sold to the highest [...]
Taking A News Vacation
There is a lot going on out there and some of it really makes me wish I had never accessed the news in any way. Last week a couple of kids were arrested because they had decided that it would be funny, cool, whatever to kill people based on the color of their victims’ skin [...]
Up, Down, Up, Down
No this isn’t about marital acts.
I got to thinking the other day about the stock market. I know I am not unique in taking the time to think about the stock market the last few weeks but I did notice something that I’m not sure many other people noticed.
Did you notice that there is nothing [...]
Politics As Usual
It is nice to see politicians pointing fingers and blaming each other for the near total collapse of the United States economy rather than working together to fix it.
This financial crisis is a shining example of how impossible it is for politicians to truly work together to solve problems and how desperately we need to [...]
Please W Just Stop
Yeah I know I have been complaining about George W Bush a lot lately but I can’t help it. Today there was word that Russia is stepping up its attempts to strengthen relationships with Latin American countries such as Venezuela. In fact, Russia is so serious about this that they are sending troops and supplies [...]
Line Of Credit
The United States is in big financial trouble. Our books don’t balance and there is definitely a bleak future ahead of us if something is not done. In past years, whenever one of our allies would experience the same situation, instantly millions or billions of dollars in American aid would show up and save the [...]
