The poor Dow! It sits about exactly where it sat six years ago. Gold and silver, of course, are way up, even at today’s low prices. I wouldn’t own stocks if my long dead grandma came back to life and told me to buy some. This includes mine shares too. I have had a lot […]
I will never change my mind about the utter hopelessness of the Israel situation. You Biblical scholars know, as do I, that Israel was there first, but being practical, so what? The Indians were in America first, and the Aborigines were in Australia first. Interpreting Biblical history and prophecy is opinion, and varies from religion […]
That’s an interesting subject, isn’t it? Just about every consumer item we wear or use, be it TV, shoes, clothing, or parts of all sorts, are made in China. We have a huge trade deficit with China. So why have all the jobs gone to China? Perhaps a better question might be, why is everything […]
I remember the “Neutrality Act of 1937” from many many years ago, but before I wrote about it, thought I’d better find out more. So I did. It was passed during the Presidency of FDR, perhaps the worst President America has ever had, (Lincoln, LBJ?) so I wasn’t surprised to find out that the Act […]
Ten years ago, TWA Flight 800, bound for Paris, was accidentally shot down by the US Navy, who was practicing war games off of Fire Island, New York. Over 700 people saw the rocket go up and strike the plane, which broke in two and crashed in flames into the water, killing over 200. A […]
I am terrified at what is going on between Israel and Lebanon and Palestine. When someone kidnaps a couple of soldiers, is this a reason to bomb TV stations and airports? Suppose a bunch of bearded Muslims landed in say Kansas or Rhode Island or Colorado, and said “Everyone out. We are authorized by the […]
You remember the old song, don’t you? “Foot bone connected to the ankle bone, ankle bone connected to the leg bone, leg bone connected to the thigh bone ” etc. Goes all the way to the top, or from the top down maybe. It’s been a long time since I heard that song, but the point […]
You geezers out there, you do listen to “Prairie Home Companion,” don’t you? I mean 6PM Saturday or Sunday morning, surely gives on time to turn back the clock to good old radio days and listen to home-spun humor and great music. Well, if you are a fan of Garrison Keeler and “Prairie Home Companion,” […]
You remember, don’t you? Now that there is a new government, complete with Constitution, all will be well in Iraq, and Dubya’s War will prove to be effective. All will go well, there will be democracy, peace, and prosperity…when the new government is in place. And pigs will also fly and Niagara will stop falling […]
It was a year ago that terrorists bombed the London subway killing dozens and injuring many. That was a real terrorist intrusion into ordinary lives. I also believe that the first World Trade Center bombing was a terrorist act. But the 9/11 happening, which has been attributed to terrorists, is a total fraud, and as […]
