Been gone,

for awhile, because I have posted enough anti-Bush stuff, which IS my main passion lately. Because of this idiot's ineptitude, in SO many areas, we are entering a 'perfect storm', for the economy. Just this last week, oil went over $110/barrel, the dollar reached new lows against other world currencies, gold went over $1000/ounce and there was a 'run' on Bear Stearns, one of the largest financial instituions in the country. If not for Fed intervention, and J.P Morgan stepping in, they would have 'folded' within the day. Just my humble opinion, but, with the unfolding housing/mortgage/credit situation, I think we are in for some real, near term, trouble, and this is just the beginning. As for putting my $$ where my mouth is, and staying with my policy of financial disclosure, I am continuing to sell out of the stock market and getting further into the precious metals market. Earlier, it was gold mining stock and now it is physical silver. Specifically, I have gotten into silver bullion and Silver Eagles, which are .999 silver, one ounce coins. I think the gov't is going to have to continue to print money as fast as they can, to try to delay this recession, which is rapidly turning into a depression. If they do, and they WILL be forced to, this will further weaken the dollar and silver should go up. If they don't, the economy will crash even faster and silver will REALLY go up. In 1980 we had a similar scare, though things weren't NEARLY as bad, and silver went to $48/ounce, in 1980 dollars. Only time will tell, BUT, that's my story, and I'm sticking to it. Good luck to all....

Great 'bargains' at the local Sprouts store

where we picked up asparagus and baby back ribs. Carol and I went for the same stuff (serarately, today), cuz it is so good, AND a great price. Had it for dinner tonight. WOW. One of my fav dinners, as the ribs start out in the crock pot, then finish on the grill, with fresh asparagus. (and bread pudding for dessert) I LOVE this time of year...

Because I'm sorta stuck in an Anti-Bush rant.. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D99NHb6B03s Can you imagine all those rapper stars with these things? Of course, they'd have to have theirs with 'da bling! Can't be standard, gawd no! And of course, Britney's gotta have one in her car. Paris with her pooch totin' one on the red carpet at some fete. The boys in 'da hood will have a field day on their daily drive bys. P Diddy will wear his on a chain around his neck. You suppose there will be special pockets made in jeans for these things? Trailer trash folks will have 'em camouflaged. Jeff Foxworthy will have to come up with some fresh Redneck stuff. Think George W. will get one, each for the twins? Don't forget Dickie boy for those spur of the moment huntin' trips. Of course Ma Babs will have hers with pearls. Think it will affect the Royals? I can imagine Charles and Camilia on their fox hunt...........ah yes, and Prince Philip, too, must include the

You think the Repub brand is tarnished now?

Just wait 'til Bonehead leads us all over the cliff, to save his 2% buddies having to pay a little higher tax. The Pubs keep thinking the American public is stupid, and they can get away with their phony political crap. They keep forgetting we're not all a bunch of FOXNews sheep, who'll swallow whatever swill is shoveled to them. A once proud party, like a beast in it's death throes, striking out to harm whatever's close, threatening to shut the gov't down, (again), over the debt limit, which is just paying the bills they already ran up. Political hacks, pretending to be patriots. So sad...
