Peter the Prognosticator

My good friend and old hunting partner Greg Linville sent me this interesting article on Peter Schiff from Fortune 500.

While he does get some kudos, there is a subtle anipathy toward bears. . . I think.

Take a gander.

Who Knew?

Who knew that the federal government made $20 billion off of the mandated switch from analog to digital?

I did not until tonight when Heard it on News Hour with Jim Lehrer. As of now, I have no link to support this, but as the report indicated, the government auctioned off the digital "signals" and "earned" around $20 billion.

I have been wondering the whole time why this was a federal government issue, now I know. . . REVENUE.

More Power To The Fed?

The headlines read,
"Fed may win sweeping financial oversight
Some worry plan would give central
bank too much power."


Can the central bank really have too much power (satire)?

Look on the bright side maybe this will hasten the empire's demise.

Just Another Day For Politicians...

Dr. Nathan Hoeldtke's thoughts for the day:


"John Edwards ran for president while his wife was terminally ill and he was fathering a child with another woman. Governor Blagojevich openly invited bribes for Obama's Illinois senate seat, even though he knew he was under criminal investigation. Eliot Spitzer enjoyed numerous encounters with prostitutes after spending years criminally prosecuting others for the same activity. And Charles Rangel, the man who serves as chairman of the committee that writes the tax code, "forgot" to pay taxes on his Dominican Republic property for 20 years!


And people are always talking about Christians being hypocrites! The arrogance exhibited in the above panel is breath-taking to say the least. . . (and they are all Democrats--but maybe that's just a coincidence)."

As always, thanks Nate.
