Definitely the Quote of the Week
"Frankly, I don't know what it is about California, but we seem to have a strange urge to elect really obnoxious women to high office. I'm not bragging, you understand, but no other state, including Maine, even comes close. When it comes to sending left-wing dingbats to Washington, we're number one. There's no getting around the fact that the last time anyone saw the likes of Barbara Boxer, Dianne Feinstein, and Nancy Pelosi, they were stirring a cauldron when the curtain went up on 'Macbeth'. The three of them are like jackasses who happen to possess the gift of blab. You don't know if you should condemn them for their stupidity or simply marvel at their ability to form words."

P.O.N.Z.I.................from Rico
I understand that most folks "think" The Federal Reserve (FED), the Central Bank of the US, is a governmental entity.
- Why Congress is even debating the reappointment of Ben Bernanke to another term as FED Head, right?
WRONG.
While cleverly named, the FED is a private bank owned by private individuals and is just as "Federal" as Federal Express or my box of Federal shotgun shells....in a word, it's NOT.
- Those pretty green slips of paper in your wallet commonly known as US Dollars are Federal Reserve Notes. Bank scrip. The FED can print as much of it as it wants or needs to.
With this in mind, consider that fully eighty percent (80%) of US Treasuries [read: US government debt] sold in 2009 were bought by the FED because there were no other willing buyers.
- So, printing money to finance unsellable governmental debt is just like using a credit card to pay off a credit card. It is a scam, a PONZI scheme. Like all such schemes it cannot go on indefinitely, but has to end. This will end badly.
And Congress has just raised their 'credit line' to about 14 trillion dollars...
- They borrow & spend it, and you pay it back with interest. Nice gig, just not for the likes of us kulaks.

The Confessional
An Irishman goes into the confessional box after years of being away from the Church. There's a fully equipped bar with Guinness on tap. On the other wall is a dazzling array of the finest cigars and chocolates.
Then the priest comes in. "Father, forgive me, for it's been a very long time since I've been to confession, but I must first admit that the confessional box is much more inviting than it used to be."
The priest replies: "Get out. You're on my side."
