  • Makes Me Laugh -- Elites With Furrowed Brows AT LAST - -

    So, the FDIC Chairman is a female children's book author from Massachusetts, who started her new job running security for our Nation's bank deposits since 2006? How fortunate for her. I am a Massachusetts/New Hampshire working guy going back to 1990, originally from the Midwest, with some college but no degree, and I have been ''getting ...

  • Blaming speculators for high oil prices

    I don't agree with this article not because of the fact that I know a lot about oil but I some how think the same rules applies as do to the livestock industry. I have been around cattle my whole life (50 years so far) and seen cattle sold at the sale barn for as much as a dollar a pound but also a lot less, now figure into that about a 40 percent ...

  • Regarding the Wall-E article...

    ''Wall-E tells us that if we don't change the way we live, we'll all get really fat and destroy the world.'' You'll find no bigger supporter of the first amendment than me. However, I think the statement above, quoted from the article is a little biased. To me, it sounds like someone who is just looking for a reason to look down on ...

  • Re: The economy is so bad that the folks are buying

    The really tragic point of this post is that no one notices that there is no public transport to speak of. Have a car or a bike because there will be no other alternatives. Except for a couple of cities in the states, no one is ready for a gas crisis for real. The rest of the world is though and has been for a long time.

  • Re: What difference will it make?

    kgsbca: So the politicians should stay out of this, if they know what is good for the US economy. They probably won't, though, for if the company is acquired by a foreign owner, they will lose a valuable source of local campaign contributions, and we know that is the most important issue for politicians. No one yet seems to have noticed ...

  • Guns baby, gangs trade in your spray cans for weapons.

    It has always been legal to own a gun in this country. Nothing really new about this, accept small town laws vs the big boys in long robes making it official now. Every member of the street gangs, the Latino gangs who once sprayed everything with their black spray paint, like dogs peeing to mark their territory, will now shoot up freely with ...

  • Why Can't I drink your Milkshake?

    Where are all the ''real'' Americans? The ones that made this country great? By subjugating and enslaving the masses - profiteering at astounding rates? Henry Plainview where are you when we need you? JP Morgan needs to be Fed Chairman and how! Rockefeller never owned an oil country and we all got rich! Paying $5 a ...

  • Economic Liberalism to the Rescue?

    Economic liberalism basically calls for: deregulation, privatization, globalization, and reduced governance. While it may appeal to certain ideological purists, the actual application of these concepts have unforeseen, unintended, and negligently estimated consequences. I've spent much of my Sunday morning listening to explanations of the ...
