"Math Geniuses" at CBS

In case you haven't seen this graphic.

If "other countries" take money out of the US economy, where are they going to invest it? I hear that the Sri Lankan stock market is undervalued or may be that is just valued. Get some historical perspective. The same things were being said when RMN took us out of Bretton Woods and made the dollar non-convertible. I was in Portugal when it happened and dollar transactions were suspended-IN PORTUGAL WHICH WAS AN ALLY. It should be noted that AmEx would not redeem more than $100USD in their own travellers' checks.

Isn't this a wonderful thought? The second worst president of the twentieth century would be silenced by the best president of the twentieth century. BTW if you think that JEC is the best president, you need serious therapy or the really good drugs, and why are you reading my blog?

Pam Ayres, the British Ogden Nash has sold out her entire comcert tour to date.

The Wonderbra
I bought myself a Wonderbra
For fourteen ninety nine,
It looked so good on the model girl's chest,
And I hoped it would on mine,
I took it from the packaging
And when I tried it on,
The Wonderbra restored to me
All I believed had gone.

For a little over seven dollars plus postage, you beloved reader, if there are any, can buy a book titled Rules for Radicals. The author is Saul Alinsky the mentor of William Ayres and, I am told HRC. It is the book which defines what a "community organizer" is and what he is to do. You will find it enlightening. "Community organizers"
are, according to Alinsky, less like Christ and more like Barrabas.

Have a nice day.

From a Michael Smerconish column in the Philadelphia Inquirer on 9-08-08.

I ran into David L. Cohen, executive vice president of Comcast and former chief of staff to Mayor Rendell. David is one of the most politically astute individuals anywhere. When our talk turned to Palin, Cohen told me that he had just entertained Alaska's governor at the brand-new Comcast Center.

In July, Palin was in Philadelphia to attend a reception during the Na tional Governors Association's annu al meeting. Cohen said he first saw her standing on the 43d floor, hold ing newly born Trig. Talk about calm before the storm. Cohen ended up giving Palin a tour of the building.

I asked him for a firsthand assessment of the woman few had[verb edited for tense by blogger] met who was about to make her speech at the RNC.

"Having met her, having met John McCain on a number of occasions, I understand why he chose her," Cohen said. "He sees a lot of him in her. She's a blunt speaker. She's very direct. She's got guts. She's tough as nails."

For the first time in two weeks, I wasn't being fed talking points. Cohen, a Democrat who has rubbed shoulders with every political player on a state and national level, was telling me there was a very special quality in the candidate .

Be sure to read Christopher Hitchens's column on Obamessiah on Little Green Footballs.

According to todays Daily Telegraph, Baroness Warnock who is a government advisor and ethicist said in an interview:

The veteran Government adviser said pensioners in mental decline are "wasting people's lives" because of the care they require and should be allowed to opt for euthanasia even if they are not in pain.
She insisted there was "nothing wrong" with people being helped to die for the sake of their loved ones or society.
The 84-year-old added that she hoped people will soon be "licensed to put others down" if they are unable to look after themselves.

Well, I wonder which one of you will get the license when I am NOT ready to go?
"helped to die" I wonder if that means drugs or smother the old bastard? Lots of questions-few answers.

BTW they are already doing this in Holland. Doctors decide on your Quality of Life and slip you the purple Kool Aid if they think you're not having fun. So all you old Dutch people-Smile your butts off or get to meet the Maker-ready or not.

Thought this was neat. The moon and three planets. You may have to open the link in a new window to see it.

I was sitting in the dayroom of Sheesley Hall when the first plane hit the North Tower. The kids, freshmen, came back to the dorm shortly thereafter. The second plane hit. The boys were reasonably calm until an idiot on a local Pittsburgh station, maybe in response to Shanksville, began talking about Downtown as a target. The kids then went ballistic and tried to call their parents who worked in Pittsburgh or who lived close to Downtown- Mount Lebanon for example. I spent the rest of the day talking to the boys and trying to calm them down.

My Recollections of 9/11 by Uncle Tony

Just saw this on Ann Coulter's column page:

Q: How many community organizers does it take to screw in a light bulb? -

A: Nine. One to screw in the light bulb and eight to organize the busloads of protestors to the nuclear plant that powers it.

Ah-Lipstick on a Pig-no reference to SP. In LA it is illegal to post a McCain sign: see Moxie's blog for the details.

Bones is appearing to be ready to "jump the shark" allowing Booth and Brennan to become an item. Has Hollywood learned NOTHING from Moonlighting.

Mission to Mars was on again last night. I love the part after Tim Robbins dies.

Saw an ad for The Day the Earth Stood Still. If this is a remake of the classic, I may lose my lunch just thinking about it.

On the good side TESB was on.

Well, I have been absent watching the anti-Palin firestorm. The most bizarre charges, contradictory ones even, have been levied. ALL have proven false. Yes she had a baby. No, she did not try to ban books in the Wasilia Library. No, her husband's partner did not try to have his divorce records sealed to hide an affair with Sarah.
I could go on but why bother. This stuff must drive Obamsessiah disciples crazy as it causes blue collar moms-i.e. Reagan Democrats- to become aware of her views.


Drill, Drill, Drill or Palinomics as it is now known.

So long and thanks for all the fish.

I just saw a post that Richard Widmark died in March. He was a very good actor and much underrated. Watch "Pick Up on South Street" or "Panic in the Streets" for some of his best work and Film Noir at its finest.

So Vladimir saved newsmen from a tiger. This is supossed to be a good thing? At least he only tranked the poor tiger.
Penn State won; Pitt lost; WVU won. One hopes that this is a preview of the coming season. Temple plays this Saturday.
I really hate the "male enhancement" ads. "Be sure to seek medical attention if you have an erection lasting more than four hours." Yeah, I would certainly wait that long.
"Punisher" to have a sequel. Well "Toxic Avenger" had one, but it was funny and set in Newark.
