Cedar season starts today

To all my fellow Texans, as I look out on this blesses land I can't help but to notice the Cedar trees outside my office window. They are turning that dreaded orange color once again.

Cedar Season has started!

Ted's bogus adventure

Anyone remember Ted Haggard? Remember......come one...I know you remember. Ok, here is a hint: He got caught snorting coke off of some male hookers wanker. Ok, I lied...it wasn't coke. It was meth. Still, you should remember him for his good deeds, such as demonizing homosexuality as leader of the Evangelical church.

AAAhhhh, know you remember. Yeah that guy. Well it seems that Ted "Teddy bear" Haggard wanted to pop his head up just enough for some spot light attention from the media. He assures us that his "sickness" still haunts him and that his struggle continues. He asks for your prayers....and of course financial donations can be made out to him directly.

Edit: forgot to include the link: http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/28303033/

Come on Ted, if you gay your gay. Its fine, just admit it. It not cool to cast down damnation on gay's and then turn around and bounce balls off your chin. Its what we call a hypocrate and frankly Ted.... you haven't been elected to congress yet.......yet.

OPEC

Here is what the headlines read yesterday

OPEC approves biggest ever output cut

Trouble in Toyland part 2

Seems I wasn't to off the mark on my initial prediction on China's economy. My only fault was my own doubt and not saying it was going to happen sooner. My alarm came from a sweeping layoff across the mainland (remember they have Hong Kong now) of China. Recognizing that those affected would be mainly the middle class. You know....the middle class....the people who's shoulders we are putting the government securities bailout, Banking bailout, and the automotive bail on! Those people....

Watching the news today, CSPAN or CNN or Market watch or whatever was on while I play my videos games during my vacation, was talking about a major recession in China. The central planners seem to be scrambling to figure out a solution. See, their economy is closely tied their own exports AND how well the plan. Well a lot of their planning comes from buying American debt. Debt that until now was paying interest and was rock solid. Now I could say that their understanding of economics and proper fiscal planning is more than what it used to be, that of a high school loaning money to a friend. Problem is that we are not much better.

Our monetary policy is an absolute joke. Only 50 or 60 years ago, a father (typically) could support a wife, 2 kids, a car, investment fund, and a house on just one job. Now it takes two parents working 40 hours maybe even a third job, massive debt, day care, student loans, etc, etc. The connection between that last statement and the monetary policy is that our buying power of our dollar is weak. Very weak and it gets weaker by the day. We print money, we in debt ourselves to others (China, Germany, etc), issue treasury notes, and the litany of capital raising methods continue. All to pay for the program OUR OWN central planners have put forth.

Writing something to close this verbal vomit escapes me at the moment. I do want to note that when given the means to manage our own economy we did quite well. With the pervasive government we and China has today we are seeing a back lash of poor planning happening at the same time the government failed to enforce laws that protected people from having their own rights violated.

This economic recession is not failed economics, its failed government

Trouble in toyland

News has it that China is getting a swift kick in the wedding tackle. China has seen a lot of set back with a series of poor quality control, dangerous materials in the manufacturing process, and anti-Chinse sentiment. Now China is going to experince a very unpleasant slow down in their economy as a result in our economy. we are buying less and thus they are forced to sell less....and thus fire people...and thus close factories...and thus take a hit in their GDP as their export fall below their imports (which is weird since they almost never import anything)...and thus question their relance on the US market...and this question their faith in the US currency...and thus question why they buy so much of our damn debt...and thus start calling in their debt...and thus prolonging this recession.

Maybe this is a long series of lack of faith in our currency policy. Maybe its just that crazy old guy [Ron Paul] said a bunch of things that were going to happen and now.......now he is right and doesn't seem so crazy.

I don't know....maybe I am just rambling.

Sign of the times

Das link: http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/28191199/

Sign of the times I suppose when we make criminals into a defensible class of citizens. I've always been of the mind that if you violate a mans rights by entering onto his property [without his approval] that you are taking your life into his hands. Usually that hand is holding a S&W self protection security device.

However, it seems that this man is in trouble with the law. After informing a horde of two legged varmints of their trespassing crime, then giving them a tongue lashing to further exasperate the point, he finally turned his urine filled super soaker on to the critters for a bathing in respect for other. Nevermind that he had the right of mind to NOT shoot them with a .38 and thus avoid causing them serious permanat damage or outright turning them dead-like. Nay, only a slight inconvience of poor judgement and a bruised ego.

However, now HE is in TROUBLE with the law for all of this. Let us not forget that his actions were provked after the police inept behavior of not thwarting these fun-loving criminals in a long series of absues. No, he is in trouble for defending himself

I am calling on the parents to this cabal of teenagers to bring their children into the public spotlight for only a minte. A minute where they publically spank their children and then apoligze for letting their off spring behave in such a manner.

New tunes

I added some new tunes to my playlist on the side. Go buy some of the CD's and stimulate the economy. Lord knows we all need a lil' stimulatin' every now and then....

No good piece of junk

This is the type of stuff that makes my hair stand on end. This is one of the few things that send me into white knuckles and clinched fist.

MINNEAPOLIS - A man has pleaded guilty to answering an online advertisement for baby-sitting work and then using the client's child to make a pornographic video.

............The plea agreement says Lemon filmed the child in St. Paul after seeking the baby-sitting job through Craigslist. St. Paul police say the victim was a 2-year-old girl.

I say, just from an emotional response that I can give at the moment, 30 years should be the minimum. Ruining some little girls life just so you can make your pecker happy for 20 seconds....you better thank the police for keeping you safe from other people. Otherwise I would be happy to stand trial for ripping your pecker off and cramming it down your throat.

No good son of a biscuit
