Before 9/11, we had none of the following:  (Thanks to Bob Wyman) War in Iraq, “detainees,”  War on terror, Sky Marshals, Patriot Act,, Warrantless searches of bank accounts, phone records, library reading, incredible searches of everything before plane boarding, thousands of servicemen dead, hundreds of thousands of Iraqis dead, war in Afghanistan, upcoming war in […]

Now I can tell you about the new 24 karat, .999 pure, (no hardener), Gold Eagle Coin.  First of all it looks nothing like the current Gold Eagle.  It looks exactly like the old Buffalo Nickels!  The buffalo and head are exactly like the Buffalo Nickel, only it is one ounce of pure gold.  It […]

All four are termed ’commodities,’ but all four are different. Let’s examine them all briefly, and see what attributes, liabilities, and chances one takes in investing in them. OIL Most oil is held by Muslim nations it seems, and in general they don’t like America. This does not mean they won’t sell us their oil, […]

And now for something completely different.  We all know that George Bush is not a mental giant, and for that matter, none of the family is.  That’s bad, and it has gotten us into a world of trouble.  However, George is true to his wife, and as far as any of us know, he is […]

CORRECTION:  Israel bombed IRAQ, not IRAN, in 1981, not 1980.  Sorry! Memory served me wrong. In July, the space shuttle will be launched again, and hopefully will land back on earth in one piece eventually.  What a joke.  That outdated contraption is about as safe as a canoe going down the Colorado River through the […]

First of all, it is not illegal for Iran to enrich its own uranium.  They are violating no laws.  I know, it’s because they think Israel should be wiped off the map, and everyone’s afraid they’ll bomb Israel if they have an atomic bomb.  They wouldn’t dare to do that, because it would spell the […]

It’s really difficult to be objective about something one despises so much, but here goes. Why hate a bureaucrat or bureaucracy? Simply because they are so inefficient, self serving, wasteful, costly, and pervasive, if that’s reason enough.. Let’s examine the problems with one, and see how they are literally destroying the dollar we all measure […]

Well, this day after election, many a good man will find he has been replaced because he failed to bring in enough government loot from Washington.  Did you ever figure what constitutes our modern representative?  It’s the one that can bring home the new Federal Post Office, even it they wasn’t using the old one.  […]

We all know that the dollar is being recklessly printed, and numbers increased by all possible means. These include bureaucracy, bonds, T-bills, foreign investments, and every known way to spend, and debase the currency. Bureaucracies are one of the most offending, currency debilitating devices known to man, be they in the private or public sector. […]

I have often wondered whether politicians gave a second’s thought as to what their speeches, remarks, and actions would have as far as the future of the world or their own nation.  Take Bush’s Sate of the Union speech of a few years ago, when he came out with the now famous “Axis of Evil” […]
