I find this a little ironic that Sarah Palin makes this comment, "It's a symptom of government run amok, though, Greta. And it's, like, you know, who's minding the store around here?"

When she has an unmarried daughter who was living under her own roof that was obviously engaging in sexual activities with "boys will be boys". So much for the grizzly mother keeping her own daughter from running "amok".

It just strikes me as a little more Republican disingenuous babble.

My bailout plan...

I don't think that we should even consider bailing out Wall Street. If I default on my credit I'm done. If I file for bankruptcy I'm done. If I don't pay my mortgage I'm done.

Why should it be any different for Wall Street.

During the 90's I got burned by the AMT (Alternative Minimum Tax) when I exercised some stock options on the anticipation of the company going public. It never happened and I ended up paying income tax on $90,000 in 'paper' profit. In 2004 the company got sold and my common shares were worthless. Lesson learned.

In 2004 I thought that I would contribute to my personal IRA the amount of $4500. The company that bought my never-went-public-company didn't have any pension, 401K plans. This is what happened.

I have an intelligent friend who I've known for over 10 years now. In almost every respect he is a thoughtful person except when it comes to politics. We're in agreement on most topics except for politics. I've had these discussions with him numerous times and it always ends up with us at polar opposites in our political views.

On March 23, 1775 Patrick Henry before the Virginia House of Burgesses made a dramatic argument for a resolution to send Virginia's troop off to fight the British in our country's bid for freedom. He ended the speech with the famous, "I know not what course others may take; but as for me, give me liberty or give me death!".

All the diaries surrounding Moore's Sicko movie and I found out what he is talking about. I'm not anywhere close to those who are truly without insurance or suffering financial insolvency due to some medical crisis. I don't have some preexisting illness that disqualifies me from getting medical insurance. I've got medical insurance from my employer but here is what happened when I had my annual physical.

China executed Zheng Xiaoyu for corruption and grave irresponsibility with regards to his duties as Drug and Food Safety Chief. While this is coming from China and I no way condone his execution it started a question for me about how many of our elected officials would be executed for taking bribes and grave irresponsibility to their duties if this nation was run by a Chinese type government.

There was a huge amount of discussion generated by bonddad's take on globalization. Today I ran across an interesting article in Business Week called The Myth of High-Tech Outsourcing. This is an area I'm familar with and have been in the midst of since the dot-bomb bust.

90 years ago this November in a small town on Puget Sound a confortation between the I.W.W. (Industrial Workers of the World) and an armed citizen group of about 200 sworn deputies headed by Snohomish County Sheriff McRae met the passenger ship Verona at the docks in Everett. What ensued was called the Everett Massacre. The factors surround on the day of the massacre are still being fought. Only the principles have changed. Read More

This is the same crap excuses that our government used after Katerina devastated the poor in New Orleans.
Israel has bombed the village of Qana and justifies the killing of the over 60 of the villages 'desperately poor hardscrabble farmers including the aged and infirm and children ' and excuse this 'collateral civilian causalties' because they dropped pamphlets demanding that all civilians leave.

Last week I had a causal contact with someone who was working in the construction industry and doesn't have a SSN. In other words, an illegal alien. Imagine that you're in the country illegally and getting paid minimum or below hourly wage. On top of that you don't speak English very well. This is what I found out. Read More
