<p>The teaching prospect said, &#8220;Let me see if I&#8217;ve got this right:</p>
<p>You want me to&#8230; Go into that room with all those kids,</p>
<p>1. Correct their disruptive behavior,<br />
2. observe  them for signs of abuse,<br />
3. monitor their dress habits,<br />
4. censor their  T-shirt messages,<br />
5. and instill in them a love for learning.</p>
<p>You want me to..</p>
<p>6 &#8211; check their backpacks for weapons,<br />
7 &#8211; wage war on  drugs and sexually transmitted diseases, and<br />
8 &#8211; raise their sense of self  esteem and personal pride.</p>
<p>You want me to&#8230;.</p>
<p> 9 &#8211; teach them  patriotism and good citizenship, sportsmanship and<br />
      fair play, and<br />
10 &#8211; how to register to vote,<br />
11 &#8211; balance a checkbook, and<br />
12 &#8211; apply for a job.</p>
<p>You want me to:</p>
<p>13 &#8211; check their heads for lice,<br />
14 &#8211; recognize signs of anti-social behavior, and<br />
15 &#8211; make sure that they all pass the state exams.</p>
<p>You also want me to:</p>
<p>16 &#8211; provide them with an equal education regardless of their<br />
       handicaps, and<br />
17 &#8211; communicate  regularly with their parents in English and Spanish<br />
       by letter, telephone,  conferences, email, homework hotline, web<br />
       page, midterm newsletters, and  report card.</p>
<p>You want me to do all this with a piece of chalk, a  blackboard, a<br />
bulletin board, a few books, a big smile, and a starting  salary that<br />
qualifies me for food stamps.</p>
<p>You want me to do all this and then you tell me&#8230;&#8230;.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>If True or Not I can&#8217;t verify, but I know I&#8217;ve had similar experiences when calling emergency services.  Nothing like calling a hotline and being put on hold soon as they find out no one is dead or dying.</p>
<p>George Phillips , an elderly man, from Meridian, Mississippi, was going up to bed, when his wife told him that he&#8217;d left the light on in the garden shed, which she could see from the bedroom window. George opened the back door to go turn off the light, but saw that there were people in the shed stealing things.</p>
<p>He phoned the police, who asked &#8220;Is someone in your house?&#8221;He said &#8220;No,&#8221; but some people are breaking into my garden shed and stealing from me.</p>
<p>Then the police dispatcher said &#8220;All patrols are busy. You should lock your doors and an officer will be along when one is available.&#8221; </p>
<p>George said, &#8220;Okay.&#8221; </p>
<p><span style="font-size:16pt;">He hung up the phone and counted to 30. </span></p>
<p>Then he phoned the police again.</p>
<p>&#8220;Hello, I just called you a few seconds ago because there were people stealing things from my shed. Well, you don&#8217;t have to worry about them now because I just shot them.&#8221; and he hung up.&#8221;</p>
<p>Within five minutes, six Police Cars, a SWAT Team, a Helicopter, two Fire Trucks, a Paramedic, and an Ambulance showed up at the Phillips&#8217; residence, and caught the burglars red-handed</p>
<p>One of the Policemen said to George, &#8220;I thought you said that you&#8217;d shot them!&#8221; </p>
<p>George said, &#8220;I thought you said there was nobody available!&#8221; </p>
<p> </p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><strong><span style="font-family:Arial, sans-serif;color:red;font-size:24pt;">Don&#8217;t mess with old people</span></strong><span style="font-family:Arial, sans-serif;color:black;font-size:10pt;"> </span></p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><strong></strong><strong><span style="font-family:Arial, sans-serif;color:red;font-size:24pt;">Live well, laugh often, love much!!!</span></strong><span style="font-family:Arial, sans-serif;font-size:10pt;"> </span></p>
<p class="EC_MsoNormal" style="text-align:left;"><span style="font-family:Arial, sans-serif;font-size:10pt;"><strong></strong></span></p>
<p class="EC_MsoNormal" style="text-align:left;"><span style="font-family:Arial, sans-serif;font-size:10pt;"><strong>The above story has NOT been able to be verified as factual.  However, part of it did occur in September 2003 when a Pastor in Odessa, TX felt the police were taking too long to respond.  He called back and said he was holding hostages threatening to kill them. Police were pulled off three other calls to respond.  He went to jail for a false report.  Here is the proof:  </strong><a href="http://www.snopes.com/crime/safety/response.asp"><strong>http://www.snopes.com/crime/safety/response.asp</strong></a></span></p>
<p class="EC_MsoNormal" style="text-align:left;"><span style="font-family:Arial, sans-serif;font-size:10pt;">DO NOT FALISFY A REPORT FOR FASTER &#8220;SERVICE&#8221;!  911 CALLS ARE PRIORITIZED BASED ON LIFE, LIMB, PROPERTY IN THAT ORDER.  FORCING YOURSELF ABOVE IN THE LIST CAN HURT SOMEONE ELSE.  NOT TO MENTION YOU GO TO <strong>JAIL</strong>!</span></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Somewhere along the way in the last 25 years or so, America changed and started throwing the economy away along with our future. We produced little but consumed voraciously. We have become complacent and lazy asking not what can we do for our country, but what can we do for ourselves.</p>
<p>Think about this, we have become a disposable society. We have very little of value on average. Very little of REAL MONETARY VALUE! Clamoring for cheaper and cheaper quality has all but disappeared as mfrs. shift to meet demand. So we have furniture, electronics, cars and clothing that are not made to last. In years past, your used TV or Sofa or Clothing was worth a lot more than it is today. In fact, back then what you paid for it used, you now can buy it new for today in many cases. Corners are cut everywhere to lower costs. It&#8217;s not going to last for years. Part of it is panned death so mfrs. can sell more product, but mostly it is us. We got exactly what we wanted.</p>
<p>For the past generation or two, we have spent and spent AND spent on electronics, clothes, shoes, TV&#8217;s, cars, etc&#8230; It breaks we throw it away and buy another one. We have NO assets in our households on average that have any type residual value. Used vcr? $10, used dvd? $20, used TV? $100-$300. Used sofa? $50 Used dining table? 125 maybe.</p>
<p> We have spent 4, 5 or 6 times on the SAME THING in the past couple decades. A LARGE part of that money WENT OVERSEAS! So we took OUR jobs and threw them away. Then we bought cheap goods over and over and threw the money away every time we threw that thing away that broke or wore out and got a new one. We have consumed ourselves into this depression this time.</p>
<p>We spent our money, have nothing to show for it and just threw it all away on nothing but living good. When things get rough, we have to tighten but there is nothing to tighten so then what? We crash is what and that is what has happened. Not only did we cut our throats on the manufacturing and consumer end, we became a service economy but we all but eradicated that ourselves.</p>
<p>Throw it away, don&#8217;t fix it and you put all the service businesses out of business. It&#8217;s not the &#8220;Lonely Maytag Man&#8221; because of high quality. It&#8217;s the BANKRUPT repair man because of poor quality and no work! It costs $149 to fix a camera you can buy new for $189! It costs $1,800 to replace the flat panel display on that TV on your wall but the TV only costs $1,699 to buy it new! Bookshelves cost $255 to repair when you broke it apart moving, BUT you only paid $85 for it at Ikea!</p>
<p>We threw our economy away. We spent all our money on hollow assets that don&#8217;t last and were just expenses. Now that it&#8217;s broke, we can&#8217;t fix it because it costs too much to fix. But we also can&#8217;t buy a new one becasue WE are broke. That leaves the factories unable to sell anything. Then the moneygrubbers, er uh brokers, found a way to make more money with paper. Another hollow asset!</p>
<p>Well just like our consumer goods in durables that AREN&#8217;T durable crashed, so too did the markets right along with mfrg. Why do you think you still had your parents AND grandparents furniture for so many years AFTER they had it? Why did your parents keep that B&amp;W or Sepia TV for 5 years AFTER color TV&#8217;s came out? Because they WORKED! They had 78&#8242;s and record players played all THREE speeds for decades because the RECORDS LASTED!</p>
<p>Why did mom iron on those patches in the knees or our jeans or stitch the seams? Because the rest of them were still new! Why did we have shoe repair places around almost every neighborhood? Because the shoes were great and it was less than 1/4 the cost to resole or repair and the rest of the shoe was in GREAT condition. No need to throw them out.</p>
<p>But for the past 20 years, we spent and spent AND spent but buying and rebuying the same things. It took BOTH parents working to keep up. Pay the bills, eat, and keep buying. Our &#8220;durables&#8221; were consumables. Washing Machines that used to last 20 years we had to buy every 2 or 3 years. Dishwashers that lasted 10 years (even though it was horrid green or yellow on the outside) worked great on the inside but today&#8217;s models start to go between 1-2 years.  Extended warranty&#8217;s on so many small electronics are half the cost or more of buying a new one.</p>
<p>Mom had the iron that she got from Grandma and it had STEAM too! You may not even own an iron but if you do I&#8217;ll bet it&#8217;s your 4th one! In the past 10 years I know I have gone through at LEAST a dozen assorted types of food processors.  None worked right or as intended and none lasted more than a year.  I remember the one mom had.  She had ONE and lasted 4 years until I moved out, it was still in the kitchen cabinet. </p>
<p>We used to save up and buy quality. We would get a loan to pay for big purchases. The washer and dryer, or the sofa, or the TV, even the car! ALL of them would be paid for LONG before they became useless. ALL of them were repairable at reasonable prices. No longer today. Sure, we still finance all our &#8220;big purchases&#8221; like these. The problem is we are paying 3 years to 5 years for things that break, die and are replaced before the darned thing is paid off! Nothing like making payments on something you don&#8217;t have anymore AND making payments on the new one you bought to replace it!</p>
<p>We threw it away, ALL of it! We need to return to quality of yesterday regardless that it costs more. Factories need to plan and work their production according to what is NEEDED and can be sold rather than build it and try to sell as may as possible. Find the need and DELIVER IT! Let the big money brokers lenders and financial markets crash! Let them go bust.</p>
<p>It was stupid for us to spend WAY over a TRILLION DOLLARS and AGAIN WE HAVE NOTHING FOR IT BUT DEBT!!!! (The total price all added is over a Trillion and we&#8217;re not done spending yet).   You take THAT cash, distribute it to ALL THE TAXPAYERS and they will buy from the companies that fill their needs. The factories will get new orders and the economy will flourish. Bankers, lenders and paper peddlers will get crushed. So what! Better to let them fail and belly up compared to all the citizens in America going belly up!</p>
<p> WAKE THE FUCK UP AMERICA! Get our country out of the trash and stop throwing things away. WASH THOSE DISHES and stop buying paper plates. Tell them PAPER and to hell with plastic. Recycle the paper. We didn&#8217;t use many trash bags as kids. But we learned to empty our containers before throwing any away so as kids we didn&#8217;t have to carry out the nasty soggy tearing open brown garbage bag. Bring back the deposits on bottles AND cans! Some things we have today may be better but not really in the whole scheme of things. Hybrid cans may last long and be a little cheaper. But they last long and that costs more on the environment. Not only that, they are not recyclable.</p>
<p>Much better to see rusting cans at the dump than nice bright composites. At least you know it&#8217;s going back where it came from.  WE need to go back to where we came from.  Something is wrong when it&#8217;s cheaper WITH freight to get something from the other side of the world than it is to get it here.  Oh yeah, lets not get started on slave labor and govt. subsidized operations.  There is disparity sure.  These things have to be reviewed and worked on over time.  But for now, STOP THROWING OUR FUTURE AWAY!</p>
<p>BUY AMERICAN but BUY QUALITY!  I don&#8217;t mean quality of workmanship but the whole package including quality of materials and durability.  Don&#8217;t buy anymore &#8220;disposable&#8221; anything.  If it&#8217;s not going to last you 5 years, don&#8217;t buy it!  You know that a sofa that costs $399 at Rooms to Go is NOT going to last long.  Save the money and buy something that costs $1,200 and you know is going to last 5 times as long.  THAT is your value.  Buy a timeless style not a &#8220;fad.  Buy something that it is worth recovering 5 years down the road.  Spend that $800 to recover the good sofa.  Don&#8217;t spend $399 on a crap sofa and think you have $401 left to spend on &#8220;fun&#8221;.  It don&#8217;t work like that.  The sofa is gone a year later, the fun is gone the next day, you are out $800 and no sofa at all.  Of course this is an example but the pricing and comparisons percentage wise are accurate.  In fact, don&#8217;t buy ANY furniture at Rooms To Go!  Hang out at their warehouses, all the trucks are from overseas.  That is their crap coming in and our money going out.  STOP IT!  Don&#8217;t shop Ikea either!  Stop buying the cheap crap. </p>
<p>Don&#8217;t buy it just because it says &#8220;Made In USA&#8221; either!  Buy it if it is good quality and built to last.  It should have a warranty on it that you shouldn&#8217;t have to play twister to get covered if you need it.  You should have to buy a warranty either.  Those warranty services are mostly jokes when it comes to furniture.  Same with all the small electronics.  Those are nothing but profit centers for them.</p>
<p>LEARN AND STUDY, STUDY AND LEARN!  The internet is FULL of free expert guidance on just about anything!    Become informed, buy quality, buy it for an intended purpose and need.  Buy it for the expected life.</p>
<p>I don&#8217;t know HOW the hell we are going to get out of this mess we are in now.  WE threw it all away.  NOW we let politicians take over, rule and throw it all away.  The American People are duped and just go with the flow.  Running on fumes and fear we are like sheep and quick to follow anything if we are told it&#8217;s ok.  Don&#8217;t be so damned gullible!  Read, study and learn all you need to in order to have a better tomorrow.  Otherwise you will have thrown away tomorrow too!</p>

		<description><![CDATA[Take a look around!  People are STILL losing their jobs and homes.  Businesses are still closing up and cutting back.  Unemployment is still climbing as well.  Growth is reversed and production is way down as is consumption.  Yet prices are not declining much, in some cases they are climbing.  While consumers have MUCH less on average to spend today, the cost of living has not dropped creating a larger gap than before<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=thecompletebuzz.wordpress.com&amp;blog=6453365&amp;post=318&amp;subd=thecompletebuzz&amp;ref=&amp;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>
			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>March Record Budget Deficit Over $192 Billion</strong></p>
<p>The budget deficit shot up $192.3 billion in March nearing $1 trillion according to numbers released by the Treasury.  We&#8217;re only halfway through the budget year but the cost of Stimulus, Bailouts and the Recession (Depression) soar.  The deficit shot up over $42 Billion more than expected say economists.  The deficit soared over $42 Billion more than leading economists expected.  It&#8217;s already over $956 Billion the first six months of the budget period which is also in record territory.  Obama&#8217;s people project a deficit topping $1.75 trillion by the end of the budget year. (About 4 times the record deficit of the previous budget year)</p>
<p>Nearly $300 billion went to the nation&#8217;s banks and other companies to deal with the financial disaster.  But millions of homeowners still lost their homes!  Where the hell did the money go and for what purpose?  It didn&#8217;t pay off these loans and let people keep their homes that&#8217;s for sure.  Wells Fargo reported a tremendous profit for the first quarter this year.  They also received billions in cash from the bailout.  So the money went to save the bank, the investors, the note holders and the instrument writers and guarantors.  The homeowners lost their home, the bank holds the hard assest and sells it for the cash, the bank has the money from the Fed to replace that which it was losing due to default, but the property is taken over, the loss was on paper and the only one losing is the homeowner.  The bankers have cash in BOTH fists!  One from the Fed and the other from the assets it took and sold.  Some one is getting screwed and it&#8217;s not the financial moguls that caused the problems and have their hands out.  It&#8217;s the Homeowner and the American Taxpayer.  How else can you explain a bank that goes from the verge of bankruptcy and losing billions of dollars to a total turn around and billions in PROFIT in just a few short months?</p>
<p>In addition to all that in the bailout fund, another $46 Billion was pumped into Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac last month.  So far about $60 billion since October has been injected into these agencies.  I say agencies because they were both taken over by the government late last year after they had combined losses in the billions of dollars on mortgage loans.  So somehow the private sector bank can turn around into a profit in a few months but the fed is still running at a loss with it&#8217;s own lending agencies?  Something smells here.</p>
<p>In all over $700 billion of bailout funds Congress approved has disappeared into corporate coffers.  Primarily to banks, although insurance giant American International Group Inc. and auto companies General Motors Corp. and Chrysler LLC also have received assistance.  Funds also were and are being dispersed to states for billions of dollars for all the &#8220;approved&#8221; programs.  Some went to the public to be realized mostly through this year and off into next year in tiny drops for the average American Budget. </p>
<p> </p>
<p><strong>Still In A Classic Depression Economy</strong> </p>
<p>Take a look around!  People are STILL losing their jobs and homes.  Businesses are still closing up and cutting back.  Unemployment is still climbing as well.  Growth is reversed and production is way down as is consumption.  Yet prices are not declining much, in some cases they are climbing.  While consumers have MUCH less on average to spend today, the cost of living has not dropped creating a larger gap than before.  Credit would be utilized to fill in the gap until things could equalize.  But there is very little credit available.  Many consumers have had credit lines reduced or cut off entirely so now there is nothing to help fill the gap to get through this fiasco.  Recessionary times with inflationary markets, choked off money supply, asset base depletion all this is pointing to depression. </p>
<p>The fed is creating a potential huge monster bubble in the US dollar.  Borrowing now, underwriting the economy but getting very little ROI and revenues are shrinking.  Tax revenues totaled $989.8 billion which is down 13.6 percent from a year-ago same period.  Since World War II this is the longest &#8220;recessionary period&#8221; every recorded.  The downturn began in December 2007 according to some pundits.  According to my writings I first noticed a &#8220;downtrend&#8221; in the fall of 2007 around September/October.</p>
<p> </p>
<p><strong>Some Bailout Money Trickles Through To The Public</strong></p>
<p>At least some of the billions from the stimulus plan is finding it&#8217;s way to the general public where it&#8217;s needed.  While the numbers seem high, for the teeming masses it is meant to serve, it is a literal drop in the bucket.  Medicaid, Medicare, Unemployment Benefits and Food Stamps are ways the fed is getting it down to the people along with some tax breaks. </p>
<p>The Treasury also reported benefit payments from the unemployment trust fund totaled $44.6 billion so far this budget year which is up from $19.4 billion last year.  However, it should be noted that this isn&#8217;t a lot of new money from the stimulus plan going to the people at all.  The majority of it is coming out of the unemployment trust fund which was already in existence and heavily funded by employer contributions (payments by the employer) to the fund. </p>
<p> </p>
<p><strong>Obama&#8217;s False Claims</strong></p>
<p>Just a couple months ago Obama put forth his budget proposals and told the American public we would have a $7 Trillion deficit over the next 10 years.  Yes, you read that right, TRILLION! </p>
<p>However, last month, only a month after Obama&#8217;s budget proposals were put out, the Congressional Budget Office estimated that Obama&#8217;s budget proposals would produce $9.3 trillion in deficits over the next decade.  This is $2.3 trillion MORE than Obama said it would cost.  The CBO said Obama&#8217;s budget will cause deficits around $1 trillion annually through to the end of the year in 2019.</p>
<p>The administration still says it is confident its claims are accurate and the presumed declining deficits over that same period could be achieved.   The thought is nice, but that is exactly opposite of what is happening and has happened in the past.  Private economists feel those claims are false due to the fact that those estimates are relying on faulty economic assumptions believed to be too optimistic.</p>
<p> </p>
<p><strong>Expect War</strong></p>
<p>While it has been typically a Republican tool, the Dems are going to have no choice.  For all his peace spouting propaganda and trying to get in bed with the muslim world, Barack is going to have to adjust his thinking and his actions to real world facts.</p>
<p>War generally follows economic turmoil and a period of prosperity follows caused in part by the war machine economics then in the rebuild post war feel good and happy economy.  Bush AND his daddy screwed that up.  Not realizing how far reaching and long lasting a war has to be to recieve the same historic stimulus and economic boon of prior wars they fell far short of requirements with the Iraq campaigns.  Desert Storm and Desert Shield both fell short of completing and worthwhile goals.  The current effort was a waste of Amercian Life and resources and did nothing in the grand scheme of things.  The first Bush attempt was the most succesful but in the wake of the event the combination of cutting it short and then stepping in too fast too much in inflationary moves which was continued through into Juniors years just messed up the economy.</p>
<p>Things were moving forward and they kept killing the goose toying with numbers and supply until the economy became confused, wary and just gave up deciding to stagnate then crash in the end.  The government is now stepping in trying to shore up the collapse and stabilize it to grow.  But the fools are already talking about raising rates and we are not even in the first stage of recovery yet still seeing declines across the board.</p>
<p>To take focus off of internal screw ups the administration will have to shift focus.  It&#8217;s already taking protective steps and shifting focus saying they have nothing to do with todays problems, they are just trying to fix it.  That isn&#8217;t going to work.  Obama SHOULD know that the only way the economy is going to turn get attention off of his office is to get the people behind him in some thing and to be looking elsewhere. </p>
<p>A war will create jobs, increase production, free up the money supply and stimulate a lot of action and movement.  Industry will vastly increase over it&#8217;s near standstill level and consumers will again be able to consume.  When the war is over and &#8220;Johnny/Jenny Comes Marching Home Again&#8221; it will be hurrah time.  Families reunite, new ones start, baby boom, more work, more services, more money, etc&#8230;</p>
<p>But in reality, for it to work, it has to be a sizable war of real duration.  It can&#8217;t be some &#8220;Storm Trooper Operation&#8221; police action quick snatch and grab go in , destroy, leave.  Nor can it be some ill conceived plan without a clear goal and become drawn out over time without any discernible benefit or goal being accomplished either.</p>
<p>Afghanistan, Iran, Iraq, these postage stamp pipsqueak events aren&#8217;t going to do the trick.  There is a lot of saber rattling going on over the Korean arena&#8230;.</p>
<p>Not that I condone war or hope it would occur mind you.  It&#8217;s just that it is what politicians think they have to turn to in order to take care of their problems.  The real truth is if they honored their promises to the people and if they did the right things and spent money the way it should be, if they let the money-changer robber-barons belly up and put the Billions of Dollars direct to the people, if they told the banks they would give them the money to bail them out but they also have to apply that money to the defaulted homes of homesteaded homeowners, if the public got the money in their hands, THEN you can have your turn around and post tragedy economic boon without going to war as the motivating tragedy.</p>
<p>But we&#8217;re dealing with politicians and a would-be despot, a wanna-be king that are power hungry power monger control freaks.  I don&#8217;t really expect them to do the right thing to fix the nation and the economy, to save American Jobs and Homes.  Nope, I don&#8217; expect that will occur, I expect war.</p>

		<description><![CDATA[Ok, so which is it"?  Is jobless rate up or down?  Well one thing to keep in mind is that these numbers are always "seasonally adjusted".  So numbers are never telling the "real" story.   Fact of the matter is unemployment is at a record high and not on it's way down anytime soon.<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=thecompletebuzz.wordpress.com&amp;blog=6453365&amp;post=296&amp;subd=thecompletebuzz&amp;ref=&amp;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>
			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>Jobless Claims Are Down, no wait they&#8217;re UP!</strong></p>
<p>Well it depends on what numbers you are looking at and how you word it.  But a person can make numbers do just about anything to tell a story and sell whatever they want to sell.  Take a look at today&#8217;snews articles with opposite headlines about the Jobless rates.  One claims &#8220;Continuing Jobless Claims Climb To Record 5.84 Million&#8221; while another reports &#8220;New Jobless Claims Fall More Than Expected To 654K&#8221;. </p>
<p>Ok, so which is it&#8221;?  Is jobless rate up or down?  Well one thing to keep in mind is that these numbers are always &#8220;seasonally adjusted&#8221;.  So numbers are never telling the &#8221;real&#8221; story.   Fact of the matter is unemployment is at a record high and not on it&#8217;s way down anytime soon.</p>
<p><strong>Record Unemployment Is The Real Story</strong></p>
<p>The &#8220;total&#8221; number of laid-off Americans rose to 5.84 million, that is those receiving unemployment.  It was standing at 5.75 million.  This is the most it has been on records dating from 1967 plus it is much higher than analysts expected.</p>
<p>With so many people on un-employment and the massive layoffs and company closings the past 12 months it stands to reason that &#8220;NEW&#8221; claims filed for unemployment would drop off.  New jobless claims are down to an adjusted 654,000, it fell from the previous week of a seasonally adjusted 674,000 . </p>
<p>So this is the &#8220;glass is still half full&#8221; thinking.  New jobless claims are dropping YAY!  It sounds nice doesn&#8217;t it?  Except the harsh reality is that almost 3 million Americans will lose their jobs over the next month time span (4.33 weeks).   This will keep the &#8220;continuing unemployment&#8221; rate climbing even while &#8220;new jobless&#8221; claims fall.  We can only so much further as a nation before grinding to a halt. </p>
<p><strong>Jobs Taken From Americans, Assets Handed Over To Foreigners</strong></p>
<p>What the numbers clearly show with the high level of continuing claims is that those unemployed workers aren&#8217;t able to find new jobs.  I wrote abo0ut this months ago too concerning the ancillary fall out of the auto industry devastation.  King Obama is showing his ignorance about big business and needs to get out of corporate America.  The auto industry woes and continued forced cuts, layoffs and closings to appease the King is a driving factor in layoffs in the auto and all manufacturing related industries.   It also is one of the big reasons no one can find a job and stay on unemployment because the jobs were eliminated.  Kentucky had the largest jump in new claims followed by Michigan, Illinois, Ohio and Tennessee reporting the next largest increases.</p>
<p>While I agree we can&#8217;t just throw money into Auto Industry without getting safeguards in place, forcing accountability and seeking better results from that sector.  We still have to back OUR people on OUR soil!  Fund Chrysler to keep it American not get a foreign entity into it.  AIG got the biggest benefit and they are global so a vast amount of US funds benefited foreign entities in that deal AND IT&#8217;S STILL SUCKLING AWAY asking for, and receiving, more money!</p>
<p>All this does it take jobs and American Assets away and hands it over to foreign entities.  It doesn&#8217;t help America or it&#8217;s future by carving up slices of the pie and giving it to others.  Later when the pie is gone, we will starve.  It&#8217;s going to come back and haunt us in the future.</p>

<p><strong>More On Their Way To Jobless Status</strong></p>
<p>Along with other gloomy news prospects announced this week, newspaper publisher A.H. Belo Corp., which owns the Dallas Morning News, will eliminate 500 positions.  This equates to roughly 14 percent of its entire labor force.   Ancillary losses still bleeding out from the auto industry crash continue with Goodyear Tire &amp; Rubber cutting another 5,000 jobs.  That is roughly, 7 percent of its remaining employees that will be gone this year.   </p>
<p><strong>More Stimulus Money &amp; Jobs To Foreigners</strong></p>
<p>What is really shocking is that Heavy Equipment maker Deere &amp; Co. will lay off 160 employees later this month at its plant near Des Moines, Iowa.  They said it is due to reduced demand.  The stimulus package was designed to increase demand by funding large scale public works project.  So something is off here.  Either that or buyers are going overseas to Kubota or comparable.  So once again, Stimulus money is going to foreigners, Americans pay and get screwed out of money AND jobs.  They need to plug this leak ASAP!  Stimulus money is to be spent in America on American Goods and Services and hiring of Americans.  When will we learn?</p>

<p>These companies are misleading the public from the start beginningwiththe name of their outfit.  There are hundreds of officialsounding companies that are using words from current news and official government programs to mislead the public.  Just like the old &#8220;free grant money&#8221; scams that offer to sell you information about real government grants.  They now are selling you &#8220;Stimulus Grants&#8221; and it is the same old false hype.  Information about legitimate grants is available for free so you are paying for a cover letter and semi-sorted search results plus a lot of useless fluff. </p>
<p>The FederalTrade Commission filed cases against two other companies last month: Hope Now Modifications LLC and New Hope Modifications LLC.</p>
<p>According to various government officials, scams like these are taking advantage of desperate borrowers and those in danger of default or have already defaulted.  They do so by charging them upfront fees of $1,000 to $3,000 for help with loan modifications that rarely, if ever, pay off. </p>
<p>While it is possible to renegotiate, modify and otherwise work out a deal to save your home, these scam outfits aren&#8217;t going to be doing it.  Bankruptcy is an option to buy time and reorganize to save a homesteaded home.  Depending on where you are it can range $1,500 and up for an attorney to do it plus costs.  That is a marketing ploy for a number of attorney&#8217;s right now.  They promote saving your home getting your information for court records when foreclosures are filed.  They present themselves as mortgage or loan specialists able to renegotiate, modify or otherwise save your home.  When you go and meet withthem it&#8217;s free initialconsultation.  They talk with you for 15 minutes and give you a prepared &#8221;info pack&#8221; from a nearby stack.  All about bankruptcy and they tell you  that is going to be your best option.   They don&#8217;t save your home through any programs or negotiation at all.  They handle your bankruptcy case for you.  While that is an option, it is not necessarily the best or only option you might have.</p>
<p><span class="yshortcuts">In related news, the FBI</span> is investigating over 2,0<span class="yshortcuts" style="background:none transparent scroll repeat 0 0;cursor:hand;border-bottom:medium none;">00 mortgage fraud</span> cases said A<span class="yshortcuts">ttorney General Eric Holder.  This is </span> says the , a 400 percent increase from five years ago.  &#8220;If you discriminate against borrowers or prey on vulnerable homeowners with fraudulent mortgage schemes, we will find you, and we will punish you,&#8221; Holder said.</p>
<p><strong></strong> </p>
<p><strong>King Obama</strong></p>
<p>Last week he told the major automakers he didn&#8217;t like their recovery plans.  He told GM and Chrysler specifically they might need to just file bankruptcy.  He wasn&#8217;t going to give them any bailout money unless they changed what they were doing and gave up more control of the company to the Fed.  The Fed also demanded GM&#8217;s Top man to step down and get out.</p>
<p>Who the HELL does he think he is?  He&#8217;s supposed to be president and head of our government.  He is acting like he IS the government and it&#8217;s HIS money he&#8217;s dishing out!  He has no power or authority to be making these statements and demands he is making.  That is up to lawmakers and the houses of government officials to do.  He is stepping nicely into the role of King and throwing off the shackles of Constitutional Government instead making his own rules as we go along.  To get the stimulus bills and programs passed there were a lot of secret negotiations and closed door meetings.  Most of the plans and programsthat have been rolled out have no voting on them by elected officials and no voter approval was given.  Most are privately drafted policies, rules, guidelines and programs that were given to the president for approval even though his approval wasn&#8217;t required.</p>
<p>He has no background in big business and needs to stay out of the corporate boardroom.  He really should stick to politics and helping the American People with plans and programs.  Forcing his will upon corporate America and wresting control of private industry away from the private sector by tying it up with money strings is going to have long term detrimental consequences for the entire world.</p>
<p>The administration will protect consumer warranties from General Motors and Chrysler vehicles and make sure parts are available to quell fears in consumers which could prevent them from purchasing a new auto.  So Obama is now going to be in the car repair biz?  They have NO way to back this up other than to either fund or take over a bankrupt company to make good on this promise.  Obama is also telling Chrysler to sell out to a foreign entity and then he will give them up to $6 Billion in aid.  If they don&#8217;t sell out, he is not putting any more money into the company.  WTF is that all about?  Sell off America to foreigners?</p>
<p>Barack Obama refused any more Fed bailouts for GM and Chrysler,  saying the companies needed to get more deals from the unions and the automakers creditors among others before any more money will be approved.  He did say that in bankruptcy if that is the way it goes they would look to speed up and expedite the process.  Wow, how nice to just take over the nation and LITERALLY take it over telling everyone how to run their business, their life, and in the case of government agencies and politicians,  how to think and what to approve or disprove.</p>
<p>He is essentially taking command of GM and telling Chrysler to merge with a foreign competitor or cease to exist.  As I posted in the past couple weeks, Obama is using economic conditions that are evidently dire enough to warrant a new level of government involvement in the management of corporate America on a level that has never before been even dreamed of let alone enacted upon.</p>
<p><strong></strong> </p>
<p><strong>King Obama&#8217;s New Declaration</strong></p>
<p>King Obama is again abandoning the United States in favor of Muslims with his new declaration, the U.S. &#8220;is not and never will be at war with Islam,&#8221; amid other racially and ethnically charged comments during his meetings and speeches.</p>
<p>What planet has this this guy been on the past 20 years?  Iran, Iraq, Afghanistan come to mind in regards to being Islamic nations.  While Obama conceded there are still tensions over the <span class="yshortcuts">Iraq war</span> but said Muslims worldwide have little in common with terrorists such as <span class="yshortcuts">al-Qaida</span>and have much to gain in opposing them.   Why is he bothering &#8220;politicking&#8221; these foreigners?  Half of Islam are fundamentalists and half of them (if not all) would like to destroy the USA if they could.  He also spoke of his own Muslim background once again stepping over the boundaries of a US president AND abandoning entirely the principles our nation was founded upon.</p>
<p>&#8220;We seek broader engagement based upon mutual interest and mutual respect,&#8221; Obama said in a speech to Turkey&#8217;s Parliament.  DUDE!  There is no WE!  It is YOU that is interested in joining up with Islam.  The rest of America wants the United States to remain the strong, independent world power it has always been.  ALL Americans that are true Americans want a constitutional government Of the people, By the people and FOR the people.</p>
<p>&#8220;Our partnership with the Muslim world is critical, not just in rolling back the violent ideologies that people of all faiths reject but also to strengthen opportunity for all its people,&#8221; he said.  He portrayed terrorist organizations like al-Qaida as extremists and not at all representative of majority of Muslims.  He must be blinded by his recent self crowning as king because that is simply a fallacy on his part.  It is also something that is seen right through by any muslim anywhere.  While the militants are a minority, the beliefs and thought processes are the same for the majority.</p>
<p>Why are we kissing up to this mongrel country?   Remember, Turkey barred U.S. forces from going through its country to attack <span class="yshortcuts">Iraq and was vehemently opposed to our &#8220;invasion&#8221; of their air space</span>.  They should be ignored and trod upon as they do with their own and how they ignore the needs and desires of the rest of the world so too should theirs be ignored.</p>
<p> Obama further pumped their egos stating, &#8220;Turkey&#8217;s greatness lies in your ability to be at the center of things. This is not where East and West divide — this is where they come together&#8221;.</p>
<p>He further declared,   &#8220;I know that strain is shared in many places where the Muslim faith is practiced. So let me say this as clearly as I can: The United States is not and will never be at war with Islam.&#8221;  No, just a host of Islamic countries and organizations.</p>
<p><strong></strong> </p>
<p><strong>USA not the USI</strong></p>
<p><strong></strong>Obama pronounced his own heritage: &#8220;The United States has been enriched by Muslim Americans.  Many other Americans have Muslims in their family, or have lived in a Muslim-majority country.  I know, because I am one of them.&#8221;  Obama&#8217;s Kenyan father and grandfather were Muslims, and he spent time as a child in <span class="yshortcuts">Indonesia</span>, the country with the world&#8217;s largest Muslim population.</p>
<p>There was a strong hearty ovation near the end of his speech when Obama said the U.S. supports the Turkish government&#8217;s battle against the <span class="yshortcuts">Kurdish rebel group</span>PKK.  Boththe USA and Turkey consider them a terrorist group.  Of course he got a rousing ovation when he said America was not at war with Islam.</p>
<p>Turkey is a member of both the G-20 and <span class="yshortcuts">NATO</span>and is trying to get into the EU with the help of the U.S.  Instead of trying to get in bed with the muslims in this Isalmic country he should USE this fact and leverage it to OUR advantage as a bargaining chip.  They NEED us, we don&#8217;t need them.  OUR advantage as in the UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, not the kingdom of Obama Hussein and the USI (United States of Islam).</p>
<p>Obama stongly supports the Turkish bid for membership in the EU.  He reiterated it this past Sunday at the meeting in <span class="yshortcuts">Prague by the G-20.  In so doing he </span>has raised the ire  of many long time USA allies, epecially France and Germany, which rightly point out that America has no say in the matter.  Back-pedalling quickly, Obama conceded the point saying he waonly speaking &#8220;as a friend&#8221; of both Europe and Turkey.</p>
<p>&#8220;Turkey is bound to Europe by more than bridges over the Bosporus.  Centuries of shared history, culture and commerce bring you together,&#8221; he said. &#8220;And Turkish membership would broaden and strengthen Europe&#8217;s foundation once more.&#8221;  Maybe he forgot the pivotal roles Turkey had in the crusades, the dark ages, World War I, World War II the support of terrorist groups and countries so long as it didn&#8217;t consider them terrorists or enemies against them.  Though Obama held to his 2008 statements that Ottoman Turks carried out widespread killings of <span class="yshortcuts">Armenians</span> early in the <span class="yshortcuts">20th century, </span>he stopped short of repeating the word &#8220;genocide&#8221; that he has used in the past.  While not a reversal it is clearly another back-pedalling maneuverto foster a union with the muslim country.  &#8220;Well, my views are on the record and I have not changed views,&#8221; was all Obama said.</p>
<p>It&#8217;s officially estimated that up to 1.5 million Armenians were killed by Ottoman Turks in the years prior to and into <span class="yshortcuts">World War I which is an</span> event viewed by many scholars as the first genocide of the 20th century.  Turkey don&#8217;t deny the deaths but denies that the deaths constituted genocide.  Just like some claim the holocaust didn&#8217;t occur and the death count was inflated.  Turkey claims the toll has been inflated and the casualties were only victims of civil war and unrest.</p>
<p>Mingling during a dinner Monday night, Obama met privately with the <span class="yshortcuts">foreign ministers</span> of Turkey, Armenia and <span class="yshortcuts">Switzerland</span>, according to a senior <span class="yshortcuts">White House </span>official.   Obama commended their efforts to normalize Turkish-Armenian relations and further urged them to complete the talks &#8220;withdispatch,&#8221; the official said.  Publicly, in his speech to the Turkish Parliament — what used to bey the Turkish Grand National Assembly — Obama said, &#8220;History, unresolved, can be a heavy weight.  Each country must work through its past.  And reckoning with the past can help us seize a better future.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;I say this as the president of a country that not too long ago made it hard for someone who looks like me to vote. But it is precisely that capacity to change that enriches our countries,&#8221; he said which clearly alluded to his heredity and the black race. </p>
<p>In his news conference with Gul, Obama commented on the rift in U.S. and Turkish relations concerning <span class="yshortcuts">Iraq</span>.  &#8221;I do not think they ever deteriorated so far that we ceased to be friends and allies. What I hope to do is build on what is already a strong foundation,&#8221; he said.</p>
<p><strong></strong> </p>
<p><strong>Depose and Dethrone the King</strong></p>
<p>Basiclly he insuated  &#8221;I&#8217;m a black muslim and in my country&#8217;s past people like me had no rights.  Now, I&#8217;m king of the place and trying to solidify my position by aligning with muslim nations so in the future my power cannot be usurped.  So I am puffing you up with this semi-transparent fluff and politics hoping you buy it.  I have America over the barrel financially.  You want me to back you and I will flex my powers, but you need to back me as my friend because I am backing you now.</p>
<p>Get on the phones to your elected representatives, tell them to step forward and take control of their own office and follow the constitution in coming up with rules, policies and regulations.  Tell them  to take control back from Obama.  Depose him as king and put him in his place as the President of the United States, it is a title, entity and office which he holds and was elected to fill and take care of according to the people for the people in accordance with the U.S. Constitution and all our laws in existence today.  If he won&#8217;t step down as King which he is trying to become, then impeach the man for trying to take over the country as a despot.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>$200,000 Guaranteed Prize Pool With Minimum $30k for 1st!  WOW! </strong></p>
<p><a href="http://en.wordpress.com/types-of-blogs/">Full Tilt Poker </a>  started this a couple months back and they call it the Double Deuce.  It starts at 4:22 pm, costs $22 to enter, 2200 chips to start AND it&#8217;s a double hundred grand guaranteed prize pool.  Kind of a neat playing event because it&#8217;s not so cheap that people just throw chips around in a meaningless fashion BUT it&#8217;s extremely affordable for even a beginners budget to slip in once a week.  The payoffs are big and attract a number of top name world class pros every week too so you get to play alongside some of the best.  There&#8217;s anywhere up to a dozen big names playing it.  Here&#8217;s another incentive for you.  If you end up taking a pro out the tournament you get a bounty cash prize equal to the buy in back!  So if you take a pro out in this one you get $22 cash back in your poker account.  I took a pro out last year and besides getting the bounty refund they sent me a cool T-shirt saying I KO&#8217;d a pro. </p>
<p>This is a big field event and often sells out before it starts.  So if you want to get in it click on the link and follow the instructions on setting up your player account and registering for the tournament.  Good luck at the tables!  So far the the pros that are registered are:</p>
<p align="center"><span style="font-size:small;color:#366100;"><em>Esther Rossi</em></span></p>
<p align="center"><span style="font-size:small;color:#366100;"><em>Sigi Stockinger</em></span></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>SWEET!  $10,000 Guaranteed Minimum Prize Pool!</strong></p>
<p><a href="http://en.wordpress.com/types-of-blogs/">Full Tilt Poker </a> has just started a new super prize tournament but set it super CHEAP!  They are running it twice daily and minimum cash prize pool is $10,000 guaranteed for EACH game!  The one in the afternoon at 3:15pm Eastern is a rebuy with unlimited rebuys until the first break then one add-on allowed at the end of the rebuy period.  That&#8217;s ok if you like rebuys.  But people play them a lot looser knowing they can just buy in again if they mess up.  It&#8217;s best to set a limit for yourself though or you could spend 10 times or more the amount of the buy in.  My preferred game is the freeze out tournament.  Basically you buy in once and when a player is out they are out.  Keeps some of the craziness down.   That is the main one that plays every night at 8:15pm.</p>
<p>Last night the pros that played it were:</p>
<p align="center"><span style="font-size:small;color:#366100;"><em>Karina Jett</em></span></p>
<p align="center"><span style="font-size:small;color:#366100;"><em>Michael Craig</em></span></p>
<p align="center"><span style="font-size:small;color:#366100;"><em>Lee Watkinson</em></span></p>
<p align="center"><span style="font-size:small;color:#366100;"><em>Gabriela Hill</em></span></p>
<p style="text-align:left;"><span style="font-size:small;">You never know who you might sit next to.  Besides, it&#8217;s only a BUCK!  Where else can you have hours of fun and the chance to win back $1,000&#8242;s in cash for only $1?</span> </p>
