Cuba used to be the playground of America. During the ’Big Band Era’ there were lots of songs about a ’Weekend in Cuba’, I remember words to a lot of them. It was a fun place to go in winter. Lots of Cuban Rum, Cuban cigars, and a merry time. A quick flight of about […]
Appearance is all important to the human or animal species. Ever watch a peacock strut his stuff to impress the dour female? With the exception of humans, the males seem to be the most beautiful. That’s not the point of this however. Us humans will exert lots of energy and money to appear, often what […]
My Church sent a dozen daring souls to St. Petersburg Russia a couple of months ago to help ’plant’ a new church. They worked hard, passed out 10,000 leaflets, had public meetings, and now it seems to be working. Not going myself, I bought a large coffee table type photo book of St. Petersburg, and […]
The good news is that Gonzales has resigned, plus America has again won the Little League World Series. The bad news is that we are still mired in Iraq, the dollar presses still run night and day, bring on eventual hyper-inflation and economic chaos. Now for something completely different!

Helicopter Bernanke has reneged and joined the crowd. The presses were running overnight all around the world, including America. Trillions of yen, bucks, euros et al have been printed and “injected” as they like to call it, into the world’s economies. What could have been a real market action, has now been turned into just […]
70% of the world’s toys are made in China, and 80% of U.S. toys are made in China. The Chinese don’t give a good damn. They refuse to follow directions, formulas, and instructions. They are out to glom as many bucks as they can without their bad habits being discovered. When they are discovered, guess […]
Briefly, what has happened is due to greed and carelessness. It starts at the bottom, with real estate sales persons wanting to sell, and inept, poor, exaggerating, lying, bad credit rated, maybe unemployed or making poor wages, would be buyers, wanting a home. The sales person, wanting to make a sale, probably bribes an appraiser […]
