Guess I have been remiss. Haven't updated the site for a week now. It's summer and it's hot. Damn global warming and George W. Bush are to blame. Seems like those two issues are the cause of everything bad that has ever happened since Billie-bob and his willie left the White House. Hang on because Mrs. Willie has designs on living in there once again. I'd say there is better than a 50% chance the Broom Lady will get there.
Anyone watch the YouTube debates? Too bad I couldn't see them. I think it would have been hilarous.
Dems Face Blunt Questions on
Iraq,
Draft; Jul 23, 2007; By NEDRA PICKLER
Associated Press Writer
Really folks, let's get serious for a moment. We are talking candidates running for the most powerful position in the world here, taking questions from Frosty the Snowman.
Young, Internet-savvy voters
challenged Democratic presidential hopefuls
on Iraq, the military draft and the
candidates' own place in a broken political
system, playing starring roles in a
provocative, video-driven debate Monday
night.
The hype alone makes you want to toss your breakfast. "starring roles�? Sort of like tuning into the Super Bowl to watch the commercials.
To Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton of
New York: Are you feminine enough? "I
couldn't run as anything other than a
woman," she said.
The question is absurd on its own, but the best answer came from:
Her answer drew a challenge
from
former Sen. John Edwards of North Carolina,
who said he was the best advocate
for women among the contenders. "I have
the strongest, boldest ideas," he
said.
What Edwards wanted to say was, he was the most feminine candidate.
The debate featured questions
submitted to the online video community
YouTube and screened by the all-news
cable TV network. A talking snowman, two
rednecks and a woman speaking from her
bathroom were among the odd, Internet-age
twists to the oldest forum in politics-
a debate.
I believe the liberals let an opportunity slip through their fingers. No one entertained questions from that famous Off-Broadway Westside Theatre group called The Talking Vaginas. You remember the Vagina Monologues, don't you? It might have added a little color to the debates. Well, surely it would have improved the smell.
How awful the economy is!!!!!
The mass media moguls have pulled out all stops to tell us how terrible things are going. It's part of the agenda. It doesn't mean you have to believe it.
Wall Street Caps Worst Week In 5
Years; Dow Jones Industrials Drop More Than
500 Points Over 2 Days;
CBSnews.com; July 27, 2007
If you look at the headlines you might be tempted to believe that things are terrible. But LOOK at the headlines and put this into perspective. Five years ago the Dow average was 7200. In effect, half of what it is today. Where was all the reporting when the market price doubled?
Wall Street extended its steep
decline Friday, propelling the Dow Jones
industrials down more than 500 points over
two days after investors gave in to mounting
concerns that borrowing costs would climb
for both companies and homeowners. It was
the Dow's worst week in nearly five
years.
Let's look at the percentage drop, that's a whopping 3.5%. (For all of you liberals you take the stock market price before the drop and divide that into the $500 drop.) Now where is/was all the reporting about the market rise?
Although the market has often
rebounded after a steep drop - and has done
so in recent weeks - investors
appeared unable Friday to set aside their
concerns about a weakening housing
market and tightening credit.
Of course the investors would be in shock. If not, then we will have to create a shock. It's American to be in panic mode (i.e. global warming, George Bush).
But a Commerce Department
report
that the U.S. gross domestic economy rose
at a better- than-expected pace in the
second quarter appeared to do little to quell
investors' unease Friday. GDP increased at a
3.4 percent annual rate, indicated that the
drag from the housing sector lessened.
Economists had expected an increase of 3.3
percent.
Now there is the true measure of the economy, GDP. I am surprised that CBS actually mentions this.
"The 14,000 level is going to be
tough for this market to get back above,"
Frederick said.
Well, let me make a little wager here. I will bet the market is back over 14,000 before the end of next week. Why is that Eye? Why
is that? Are you a stock market guru? No I'm not. I am a liberal guru. Simply because they want it to go down and stay down, it won't. There are no fundamental market reasons for it to stay down, but to a lib, facts don't matter. Sort of like global warming. Every time they make a prediction it has the opposite affect. It's divine intervention.
