ANNUIT COEPTIS - we're in trouble now.............from Rico
Ten states in the US contributed 55% of the national GDP. Six of those 10 states have unemployment rates over 10% (these are the jiggered "official" reported figures, which are low...by about, say, half).
In 2008 the US GDP was $14.6 triliion. Ten states provided $7.89 trillion of that amount ---
the other 40 states $6.71 trillion.
- Drilling-down further, the top five states contributed 40% of the GDP.
Will smaller states (also dealing with high unemployment) pick up the slack, or take the strain? [Forgive my nautical terminology here, but sailors will know exactly what I mean by this.]
Twenty-seven million [?] unemployed and under-employed people have to be asking themselves where the Hell that $13 trillion in bail-outs went. It sure didn't go to create jobs for them!
On a brighter note, I recommend the PUMA Index to you. You can pick the equities market to watch, and IF it is "tanking" that day, the host model loses clothing (until reaching her Puma bodywear)...so, as they say, at least while YOU are losing your shirt so are they!
The Puma Index
As the former Grateful Dead used to sing: "...I may be going to Hell in a bucket, but at least I'm enjoying the ride!..."

Relativism and OIL?....................from Rico
Relativism. That beloved concept of the progressives. Nothing is right or wrong, good or bad, true or false.
Anyone who remembers that (a) Jimmy Carter's solution to our energy problem was to wear a sweater on TV and tell us to bravely suffer and set our thermostats lower because his Department Of Energy would 'free' us of depenence on foreign oil, and (b) it was the WORST thing in the MSM's world when the price of oil hit $70/bbl under that "rich oil man" Bush, is also fully aware that (c) both a & b were complete crap, and (d) the MSM has been really-really quiet about the recent run-up to $80/bbl oil (as they have been mute on ObaMao's insistence the oval office temp. be kept well-above 80F*).
In case you happen to know any "progressive" Democrats (C), I made the above 'simple' so you could explain it to them while helping them button their sweaters and wipe their chins.
*"What is good for ME is NOT for thee" seems to be the overarching message of this administration, but the MSM a.k.a. The Minsitry of Truth hasn't figured out quite how to sell this on TV for mass consumption...yet.
TODAY IS SAINT CRISPINs DAY
On this day, 25 October 1415, King Henry V of England, and his tiny army of nobles, men-at-arms and English and Welsh longbowmen, left the Flower of French Chivalry laying face down in a muddy field in Northern France near the village of Agincourt.

This day is call'd the feast of Crispian.
He that outlives this day, and comes safe home,
Will stand a tip-toe when this day is nam'd,
And rouse him at the name of Crispian.
He that shall live this day, and see old age,
Will yearly on the vigil feast his neighbours,
And say 'To-morrow is Saint Crispian.'
Then will he strip his sleeve and show his scars,
And say 'These wounds I had on Crispian's day.'
Old men forget; yet all shall be forgot,
But he'll remember, with advantages,
What feats he did that day. Then shall our names,
Familiar in his mouth as household words-
Harry the King, Bedford and Exeter,
Warwick and Talbot, Salisbury and Gloucester-
Be in their flowing cups freshly rememb'red.
This story shall the good man teach his son;
And Crispin Crispian shall ne'er go by,
From this day to the ending of the world,
But we in it shall be remembered-
We few, we happy few, we band of brothers;
For he to-day that sheds his blood with me
Shall be my brother; be he ne'er so vile,
This day shall gentle his condition;
And gentlemen in England now-a-bed
Shall think themselves accurs'd they were not here,
And hold their manhoods cheap whiles any speaks
That fought with us upon Saint Crispin's day.
- St. Crispin's Day Speech, Shakespeare's Henry V, 1599

At Classical Liberal: Flight 93 Crescent Points Toward Mecca
Burned by the resulting firestorm of protest, the Park Service to agreed to get rid of the Islamic symbol shapes, but they never did. They added an extra arc of trees, and they call it a broken circle now, but the unbroken part of the circle, what symbolically remains standing in the wake of 9/11, is still a giant Islamic shaped crescent.

Dat' hopen-change thing not be workin' yet............from Rico
So much for the ignoramuses who thought "the Won" was going to pay their mortgages, put gas in their cars, and food upon their tables.
Guess what dummies? You can't eat or spend hope & change!
Now that a 1950 US Dollar is worth about a dime, how many can remember the song "Brother, Can You Spare a Dime?"?
- That's about what I thought, fiddy-two percenters. Dummies!
Socilism brought starvation to the Ukraine (once known as wheat-basket of Europe) under Lenin and Stalin.
- If you didn't agree with policy...or had the "audacity" to complain you were hungry, it was off to the Gulag (prison camps in Siberia) with you.
ObaMaoism won't save your sorry ass...but it sure intends to OWN it (right after it gets done breaking it)!!!

Thinking is so HARD!................from Rico
To truly understand the statement "opiate of the masses" you either have to be a student of Marx, a big fan of Mao, an Alinskyite...or be old like me and know who Marcus Tullius Cicero (106-43 BC) was, and what HE would have said about it; ...but that would mean you had to go to school before the Department of Education was created and hand-in-hand with the NEA made certain that "dead white males" were no longer taught, and their concepts eradicated to make way for the creation of good young socialists for the future brave new world.
Up with Maya Angelou and down with Shakespeare and Plato!!!!!

THE SECRET AGENT
STORMBRINGER presents the story of Jim Thompson, Thailand's most famous farang and one of America's many unknown Secret Warriors.
Recruited by Brigadier General William Joseph Donovan, Jim Thompson served during World War II in the Office of Strategic Services. A fluent French speaker, Thompson participated in missions behind enemy lines in German-occupied France.
At the end of World War II Thompson took charge of the Bangkok office of the OSS, and remained in Thailand for the rest of his life. Although he officially abandoned intelligence activities in 1947, many have suspected he was still a non-official cover. During the Vietnam War, his closest friend, General Edwin Black, was in charge of United States Air Force Special Operations activities over Laos and Thailand.
In 1967 Jim Thompson disappeared under extremely mysterious circumstances in the Cameron Highlands region of Malaysia.
