Have the Banksters finally gone too far?

Isn’t the reason you put your money in a bank to keep it safe? That’s what I was always told, at any rate. Banks have those big vault-thingys with massive thick steel doors and bars and locks, so they’re much safer than a sock filled with cash stuffed into the mattress, right?

E tu, Facebook?

Alas, poor Facebook! The giant social media company, whose stated mission is “to give people the power to share and make the world more open and connected” is the reigning king of social media. Hailed as one of the “best of the decade” by Entertainment Weekly in their December 11, 2009 issue, it passed MySpace as the most used social network in April 2008. Now with over one billion users, the Facebook IPO was hailed as “the most hotly anticipated stock debut at least since Google, and maybe ever”…and then, it flopped.

Voter Fraud Follies or A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Election

I have cast the bones. I have consulted the cards. I have watched the stars, drunk the tea, read the leaves.

Welcome to Bernankeville, the City of Jokernomics

"Where were you when the dollar died?" That's a question people will be asking you in the not-too-distant future. The past few weeks have seen several events transpire that spell the inevitable ruin of the dollar. As usual, only some of these events have been reported in the mainstream press, leaving most Americans blissfully clueless about the catastrophe roaring towards them.

Why Romney is Right

By now, everyone who matters has heard about the videos of Mitt Romney that were shot (illegally, but that's a whole 'nother can of worms) during a fund-raiser in Florida¹. Most people have either heard or read a transcript of the video, or already been told what to think about it.

Pressure Cooker Days

SUMMARY and PREDICTION: An Israeli strike on Iran either on Rosh Hashanah (Sept. 17th) or Yom Kippur (Sept 26th) is more likely than not. Top off your gas tanks this weekend, because such a strike will give us $8/gal gas here in the US.
