Depression

9/14/11
Depression
Yes it makes one sad that the country is in a depression. Like the Great Depression. Unemployment is high, perhaps 20% or more. They don’t use the word depression or count persons who have stopped looking for work in their statistics.
The price of gas hurts the individual and the large economy. If business picks up, commuters and other demand will put upward pressure on price and drag on prosperity. Also I want to buy a big old car so this is cramping my style.
While I’m on the subject of personal complaints, I may mention that quality and availability of products is questionable. For example, it is difficult if not impossible to find Tylenol brand pain med. Milk and beer are toxic if not poisonous. And it matters not if these brands are imported or domestic.
Heck even Tums are suspect. Furthermore its probable the Bad Guys have gotten to my pharmacy to make daily living dicey. But it’s OK; I can go walk the dogs now.

Ground

Ground Bin Ladin
We should elect a president who will get or ground Bin Ladin. The current one has lost the body and hidden pictures, and therefore lied. Maybe Hillary or Lindsey Graham will do better.

Fools

Fools Do Fall,
Charlie Rose, George Noory, and David Brooks have a lot to learn. When someone in Tucson shoots their mouth off, maybe the stupid should remain silent.
Charlie was here talking to a Chinese fellow, Charlie in a wild striped suit maybe attempting to spread New Jork fashions. Here I am trying to follow the lead, but it becomes clear these jerks are just a bunch of jerks.
Can you say “Cover Up?”
The shooter was not diagnosed or treated. He was a Big Jerk. He has nothing to do with me.
Big Jerks do fall and some media hounds disgust. Reiterate that these shits pick on the less fortunate. No more “I love you’s.”

Blame

11/6/10
Blame the Mafia
Blame the Mafia for the recent election fiasco. There is no reason to vote Republican otherwise. And I don’t blame you. Tonight I got poisoned twice with a bottle of sherry and a six pack of beer. They were meant to kill pain but made things worse. The country needs infrastructure, but if the bad guys get money for steel and concrete, forget them. We need education, but if the teachers’ union gets mob money, forget them. Manufacturing jobs? All the employers held out to extort Republican victories. Why – do you like mafia extortion? I don’t. They can go “F” themselves.

Lucy, you’ve got some ‘splaining to do. Tit for tat is what I’m saying the employers did. The rich need to be taxed largely because this country historically demands it. I’m talking about 95% like done during the Roosevelt years when he saved the country. And I explained to my counselor that historically the rich get taxed the SAME as the poor, with marginal rates. Which always happens according to 1985 rules.
Anyway, let’s soak the rich for 70% of the marginal rate of their income. Otherwise we need to come up with jobs…

Veins

Veins
Your so veins, you probably think this post is about you. Ha! That’s a joke related to my favorite singer on the one hand, and true if you are a citizen of America on the other hand. What we have here is a two handed economist (me,) promoting the book Open Veins of Latin America by Robert Galeano. The news is about a year and a half old and I don’t feel comfortable attempting a full fledged review of Chavez’s book gift to Obama. But I can say something.
It’s not like I’m trying to be a Socialist, but the word is Imperialism. It’s not only the English speakers; what the Spanish did to those indigenous Indians is massive mortal sin in my humble opinion. For example, the poor were worked to death in the mines. Thus veins as in mineral deposits. Furthermore here is a list from the Index of natural resources and products that have been taken from way south:
Aluminum (Bauxite,) Animal products, Bananas, Beet Sugar, Cacao (chocolate,) Cattle, Cigars, Coca (cocaine,) Coffee, Copper, Cotton, Diamonds, Gold, Guano, Gypsum, Hides, Indigo, Iron, Lead, Manganese, Mercury, Molybdenum, Natural Gas, Nickel, Niobium, Oil, Opium, Pearls, Pepper, Petroleum, Pyrochlore, Quinine, Rubber, Salt, Saltpeter, Silver, Spices, Sugar, Sulfur, Thorium, Timber, Tin, Tobacco, Uranium, Zinc
Other fruit too is an example where the laborers get paid pennies, and wholesalers in countries like the U.S., England, Portugal, and Spain get the big bucks in dollars, pounds, etc. Coffee is another example. The entire above list serve as examples where the poor stay poor and the rich get rich.
This isn’t a review, it’s a description of a difficult to read masterpiece. If you are an economist, it’s got statistical data out the yin yang. While I’ve heard there are lies, damn lies, and statistics, I feel these numbers are helpful.
Maybe historical conspirators are our guys as they hail the red white and blue in American English. Maybe we can afford a more fundamental fairness as the hombres eek out frustrating dangerous livings. The book cries for evenhandedness.
Which reminds me, I haven’t railed at the mafia lately. For my fans I promise to return to well deserved punishment of the bad guys.

Bloody Black Earth

8/17/10
Bloody Black Earth
Hi! I left a comment on another place where I said Islam should be stomped into the bloody black earth. I was virulent and buzzed. However I do not retract that Muslims are some of the most intolerant people. It is in the Koran. Thankfully my girlfriend has consented to read Infidel.
My hero Margaret Warner reported today from the site of a bombing in Iraq where the blood ran in pools of water seven feet wide. It was red and I probably would have barfed in person. I’m not such a tough guy, but I want to get my shots in. The bombing was by intolerant radical Moslems.
The thread over there perhaps implied I was Christian or even Church defending Catholic. Forbid. The insensitive church closings show that maybe one should punch an insensitive priest or bishop for Jesus. When I went to school they never apologized for the Inquisition, or promised it would not happen again. I hope a woman or man does not get burned at the stake for growing medicinal herbs in the back garden. We need to be vigilant.
The U.S. pays lip service to being free. May you be forever clear of Evangelicals. On a radio show I heard an every day variety Mohamed phone proclaim that they would triumph. Perhaps I will need their help against a certain Mafia. I recently heard Machiavelli got his ideas from the Arab east before the Sicilians. Turn to stone. My pain speaks volumes on a bloody black earth.

Eliot Ness

7/7/10
Eliot Ness
This is to complain that the beer that I bought, paid good money for, is poisoned and created pain for my testicles. The beer is called Eliot Ness after the Cleveland Safety Director. He fought the Mob. The Mob is still fighting back, I believe, because they are evil incarnate.
So, Great Lakes Brewing Company, do you want to sue me?
Payback is a mother on the street.
Your friend,
Sam
