I'm amazed he has lasted this long.
Sooner or later- they're gonna get his ass. The greatest fraud ever foisted on the American people.
It's odd when you know something is wrong. Even when you lack proof. For me it started when the very first executive order Obama gave- was the one that sealed his personal records and data.
Simply stated, Obama ain't who he says he is. He never has been. He is one giant fraud. You'll love the following link. Pravda is a better source of information than our own media.

I Still Have An Idiot For An Editor
I've been working on a number of projects lately- some very good ideas. I have a fantastic book idea but quite honestly- the idea is better than my writing skills.
I have been editing stuff for a couple of days and when I come here- I see more mistakes. I'll tell you one other thing from an editing point of view. It's a helluva lot easier to see someone else's mistakes.
My editing proves two things. We make the mistakes we make because often we don't see our own mistakes- which is obviously true in this space. And...I still have an idiot for an editor.
So I am going to try and find an "A" game. That is a level that I am not sure I have ever found. I may leave town for Montana. I feel like writing in an old creaky hotel. Maybe I can find an "A" game in the Finlen Hotel. Lindbergh stayed there. So did JFK. Ugh, even Nixon.
During the past two weeks, I've had a difficult time posting stuff. You see, I am tired of writing about crooked politicians, crooked bankers, and a whole host of fraudulent shit that goes on- day in and day out. I'm not sure how people like Yves keep doing that at places like "naked capitalism." It seems such a waste of time. But I know it's not. I've learned a lot there. It's just that I am only one grain of sand on a really big beach. Perhaps, I am just burned out.
Maybe I need a second wind, some new ideas, a decent editor, and some Prozac. So, I got that going for me.

Cyber Bullying Laws, Statism On Steroids
Arm the victims.
If any of you have ever wondered how a person becomes a Libertarian, please read this latest insanity out of Arizona. http://gma.yahoo.com/annoying-offending-language-online-crime-under-arizona-bill-171544046--abc-news-topstories.html
Briefly, in the 60's and 70's when I grew up, we had bullies. Bullies have been with me all of my life. In fact, I expect bullies to be with us forever- despite these ridiculous laws.
So clearly, laws cannot remedy every societal ill. You cannot lock up everybody for being an idiot. Idiots do not know they are idiots and even if they did know- they are too stupid to seek the solution. That's why they are idiots.
Being an idiot is not a crime. Even though Arizona thinks that it is.
The solution is not in investigating untold millions of would be bullies and censoring free speech. Society does not need to pay the price for what I am hoping is still a minority stake of idiots. The solution is in the spiritual education of our children. We arm the victims.
We have a cyber bullying problem not because bullies are some new invention but because the people they attack have no defense. We need parents with wisdom- to provide a workable defense. There was a time in my life when my only defense was a counter attack. Today, I devote an entire blog to the premise of emotionally arming and preparing yourself for a hostile world. It works. I can't control the exterior world. However, I have a spiritual defense system that allows people to act and behave just as insanely as they wish without drawing so much as one flaming arrow from me.
Unfortunately, we have lost our tribal knowledge. We no longer possess the skills needed to deal with this insanity nor do our adults have the appropriate wisdom to pass along. We lack the courage to stand up and ask if passing laws is the best thing to do. Passing a law every time something goes awry- even things which go frequently awry- is not always the best solution. In fact, it rarely is.

Our Tax System Is a National Disgrace
Very often, I have written about how the rich and elite have managed to create the worst tax code the modern world has ever seen. Why?
They want it that way. That's why it doesn't change. It seems other people, even billionaires, have figured this out as well. http://money.cnn.com/2012/04/03/markets/taxes-carlyle-rubenstein/index.htm?iid=Lead

The Gold Thread
I read for at least 3-4 hours each day. Often, I read the entire comment threads of subjects that interest me. The comment thread on a blog is the cumulative voice of like minded individuals excluding trolls and lunatics. Sometimes I stumble onto a comment that absolutely captures the essence of a subject.
Central bankers hate precious metals. They cannot counterfeit gold and silver. Gold and silver represent real money- not the shit they print. So without further adieu, I want to present a comment I stole from Dave in Denver's blog, The Golden Truth.
Buckler writes: "It is interesting that many of the same people who are now abandoning stock markets because of their 'volatility' over the last few years are the same people who become affronted at the slightest mention of the possibility of precious metals price manipulation. A moment's serious contemplation should make things clear. The precious metals and gold in particular have always been the 'alternative' to government promise based on and created out of thin-air money. As such, the precious metals have always been Public Enemy No. 1 as far as the money manipulators are concerned. Anyone who aspires to intervention in an economy and the political power that it gives is and always has been an enemy of gold. As long as there is a central bank manipulating money and interest rates, all markets are manipulated by definition. To imagine that the precious metals would be overlooked is ridiculous."
The same with Jim Grant, publisher of the Grant's Interest Rate Observer letter and perhaps the only gold advocate with enough respectability to be frequently invited to speak at respectable forums, like CNBC. Grant may have remained this respectable by refraining from too much pointed criticism of the financial powers.
But interviewed this week on CNBC by Maria Bartiromo, Grant got very pointed indeed. The Federal Reserve, Grant said, "is in the anti-capitalism business. ... The Fed ought to get out of the manipulation business. ... They ought to forswear the intervention in markets." Grant strongly implied, for what may have been the first time, that among the markets being manipulated and intervened against is the gold market. The interview is six minutes long and it's posted at CNBC here:

The World is Fat
My world anyway.
A few years ago, I was sitting at a breakfast buffet in Branson, Missouri with my ex- wife. I had never seen so many fat people in all of my life. In fact, I did not see one person who I considered to be less than 50 pounds overweight in the entire restaurant. The restaurant was huge.
Now to be sure, an all you can eat buffet is going to draw a skewed percentage of obese folks. I would expect the opposite effect in a health food store or farmers market.
You wanna see something that will blow your mind? In 8 years, 75% of all Americans will be obese. Wow. http://www.zerohedge.com/news/your-country-fat-presenting-14-years-exponential-american-obesity

April Fool's Day Will Never Be the Same
As a young kid, I never missed a chance to pull pranks on my little sister. Her absolutely predictable behavior made April Fool's day a wonderful day.
I guess my favorite prank was putting salt in the sugar shaker. The first year I did that, my sister poured her usual pound of sugar over her cereal and took a bite. She got this funny look on her face. I saw her take a second bite, smacking her tongue, and then I watched as this nasty and contorted look overcame her. She proclaimed that the cereal was sour.
By that time of course, I was laughing my ass off. I enjoy pranking people but getting pranked- not so much.
The absolute worst prank ever pulled on me was by my cousin Scott. In fact, it was nearly 40 years ago and just thinking about it- still pisses me off.
After school, Scott and a friend (Kelly Kneivel, now that I think about it) were walking near St. Ann's church in Butte. Scott was holding a bottle of Mountain Dew. I should have known something was wrong when that cheap bastard offered me a swig and like the gullible kid I once was, I took a gulp.
Let's just say that swig of Mountain Dew was about 98.6 degrees and tasted real salty. Although I have never consumed any piss on a regular basis- I can honestly say that I've tried the stuff once. I didn't care for it.
My little sis lives in Seattle now. My cousin, the piss pusher, lives in Kansas City. I gotta square that account one day. Something really vile and disgusting. In fact, as I sit here, my mind is wandering with wonderful thoughts of revenge. Maybe I will send him a little package at X-Mas... heh.
Make sure you go out and pull some shit on someone today. There's no point in having April Fool's Day if you can't have a little fun at someone else's expense.
