Write in Ron Paul this fall. If 100 million of us do that- the elite won't get their way. The FED won't continue. Crony capitalism will be crushed, the deficit will end. The mongrel party will lose. Or be a coward, vote for one of the two big parties, and get the same result that we always get. A whole bunch of suck.

Bush Creates Tax Cuts for the Crony Elite, Now Wishes His Name Wasn't Attached to Cuts
You simply can't make this shit up. Former President Bush wishing that his name wasn't attached to the tax cuts his administration gave to his wealthy and elite cronies- just a decade's worth. http://money.cnn.com/2012/04/10/news/economy/bush-speech/index.htm?iid=GM
Of course every Republican will tell you that the rich create jobs. Unfortunately, that is pure bullshit. It's the same ridiculous bullshit that Obama and his administration spouted- while handing out a trillion dollars- allegedly for employers to create jobs.
Consumers and demand create jobs. Without consumers, there is no demand. That's why Apple rocks. And that's why Solyndra, Fannie and Freddie, and GM don't.

If You Want To Say Nice Things About Castro, Ozzie Guillen, Find a Country That Believes in Free Speech
For chrissakes Ozzie, this is America. If you want to say nice things about foreign dictators- you are going to have to find someplace that actually believes in free speech. Maybe England, Switzerland. Or France. Some place that doesn't get all butt hurt every time someone utters something.
All speech in America is approved in advance by the central planners, statists, and moonbats. You should have asked them first- if you could say a nice thing or two about Castro. You are lucky you still have a job.
Ozzie's horrific and offensive comments here. http://www.suntimes.com/sports/11816415-419/ozzie-guillen-suspended-5-games-explains-fidel-castro-comments.html

Parlaying 16 College Credits Into Ten Milion Dollars a Year
That's an excellent return on investment.
Brian Williams could fall into a toilet and come out with a trout.
Williams says his greatest regret was not finishing college. I giggled when I read that. He should have just focused on completing a second semester, or maybe one year.
So for Williams, the second place prize is a gig making 10 million a year. TV been "bery, bery" good... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brian_Williams

Newsflash! Associated Press Discovering That ObamaCare Adds To Budget Deficit, Rather Than Reducing It
Wow. This level of unconsciousness is mind numbing. Are all liberal arts majors this stupid?
Adding 40 million un-insured people with pent up health demands might actually swell the deficit rather than reduce it? But that's not what Obama and Pelosi said.
The AP just now catching on. Hoping the Supreme Court and then the voters- throw out the baby and the bathwater. http://news.yahoo.com/study-obamas-health-care-law-raise-deficit-025042189.html

"I Love To Drink and Gamble"
The first time I ever laid eyes on Butte, Montana... I fell in love. It was the summer of '68. I was nearly 8 years old.
Butte is the coolest, most historic mining town in the western United States. It's like a giant museum. The architecture is fantastic, the brick walls of uptown Butte still have 120 year old ads painted on them.
Moving to Butte as a child was like going to the big city. I was simply in awe. There were these strange "head frames" everywhere. Giant black and iron megaliths dotting the hillside. There were at least 50 of them. Head frames that lifted men, cages, and ore out of subterranean tunnels more than a mile deep. I think of them as "iron angels." They kind of haunt me still.
The city streets were absolutely packed with cars and pedestrians, businesses flourished. Bars were filled shoulder to shoulder and seemingly around the clock. There were miners everywhere. Butte was the epitome of a mining camp in every way, shape, and form. Butte had hundreds of bars, watering holes like the Acoma, the M and M, the Helsinki Club. People gambled in every tavern but the standout was always the M and M. Punch boards, pinball, slot machines, poker. Whore houses nearby on Mercury St. All of that was supposed to be illegal in Montana- and as I look back on that formative part of my life- maybe I dreamt it. I wonder now if I can tell the true from the false.
I had my first drink at 11. That was perfectly normal and acceptable in Butte. I learned to play poker that year. I also learned to play golf and shoot pool. By the age of 12, I was chewing tobacco, swearing regularly, and gambling. That's just how it was back then. We hustled everyone we could. Evel Kneivel was a big deal. His son Robbie and I were friends. About the time Evel Kneivel reached his zenith- copper prices plunged. The Butte economy plunged as well. My family was forced to leave Butte. I have missed it my entire life. I often wonder how differently things might have been had I stayed.
So out of that nebulous cloud that was Butte, came a young man that loved to drink and gamble. I chewed mostly and cursed a lot too. And for a brief time in my life, a little over a year in 1988, I met Bill Smith and played cards with him often- in Las Vegas.
Most folks, even a few professional poker players, don't know who Bill Smith is. Bill was a gentleman and although he had won the World Series of Poker- he played in a cheap 4-8 game at the Gold Coast Casino. I played with him many, many times. After a few beers, Bill was a force to be reckoned with. In fact, Bill was often unbeatable. And since I knew him well, I cannot argue at all with this wikipedia entry about Bill Smith. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bill_Smith_%28poker_player%29
Country of Origin: United States
Bill would drink beer and smoke cigarettes for hours. He frequently had a gal with him but I don't think they were married. I never saw him get angry. Somebody once asked Bill Smith what he liked to do best. He replied unashamedly, "I love to drink and gamble." The problem with all that drinking, gambling, smoking, sitting, and late hours is that it kills you. Bill Smith, one of my heroes, died at the ripe old age of 62. That was a shame.
I still love to drink and gamble. I just don't do it anymore. It's a zero sum game and in the end- those bad habits come and reel you in. Maybe that's the lesson guys like Bill teach us.
I take all those lessons and all that history with me now.
Later on this month, I am hoping to return to Butte. I love to wander amidst the ruin and decay that spawned the misadventures of my youth. I see the ghosts in places like Hennessey's Department Store- and the old YMCA. I have a writing project to start and finish. I can't think of any better, more inspiring place than Butte. It always feels like home.
More photos. The last whorehouse. The Dumas Brothel. Shuttered in 1983.
The scene of the greatest mining disaster, 1917. The Granite Mine. One hundred sixty eight miners died. They removed the head frame for scrap. That was a shame.

Rigging the Presidential Election
Never ask a question unless you already know the answer.
It doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure out that President Obama was a bought and paid for banker shill. It's just a matter of tracking his associates and his money. That's how he went from obscurity to prominence. A puppet that would do the elite's bidding which in 2008- meant not prosecuting thousands of fraudulent bankers. That was the deal. Bankers bankrolled the two year political veteran and thus they managed to stay out of jail. It was that simple.
This time around- the elite offering is a rich and like minded banker or an incumbent- who given his lame duck status- will surely destroy the United States because only a few of us are paying attention.
I am convinced that President Obama is sick. Spiritually sick. Obama pretends to be a decent human being. He dresses up the kids, plays sports, tells jokes, and acts like a normal, well adjusted person. He's not. He's just as fraudulent as his hidden history hints at. He is an actor and that's what our culture worships.
Look at the Republican offering. It's a two headed beauty contest that has been repeating itself, seemingly forever. We are given our two shitty choices by the status quo elite and thus we keep electing people like Paris Hilton because those are the offerings.
I cannot tell you how much I detest this system. It has morphed into the perfect way to rig elections. Instead of finding one sympathetic and shitty candidate, all big business and the status quo need to do- is find two of them. And pay for them.
There isn't a thimble's worth of difference between either candidate. Both candidates suck just like they do every Presidential election. That isn't a coincidence. It's a PATTERN, people. They want it that way because it's always about the same two things. The people with money and power- want to keep their money and power. Money and power is why this buffoon is running again. The elite and status quo "haves"- like the two party system just the way that it is. They offer up a couple of shills each election cycle to make you think you have a choice...and it works beautifully.
I spend hours each day reading the ridiculous rants of the left and the right. All of that wasted time and energy. All of that writing, posturing. These are not stupid people. They are simply unconscious. They go about their lives in some unconscious fashion, following the lead of the people before them. They cling to some party memory that hasn't had any meaning for decades. They still blame the other side like there is some solution in that. It is lunacy, idiocy. Yet intelligent people with degrees from Ivy league schools- make lots of money talking about a system that hasn't worked and has failed it's citizens for at least the last half century. Wow. Good for them. I do the same thing for free.
I don't win over readers when I tell them they are suckers.
You are wasting your vote and doing precisely what the status quo wants you to do- when you select one of their two shills. One of them is going to become your President. That's how all good plans are designed and executed. Rigging an election isn't hard- it just costs money.
I wouldn't vote for either one of these candidates if my life depended on it- and it just might.
