Bowling for Change..........from Rico
Ok, yeah...my slug line [Bowling for Change] is a blatant thumb-in-the-eye of that fat Commie-loving ass who made the film "Bowling for Columbine" (among other films insulting to sentient life forms and wet rocks).
Looking at the graphic of 'Left Coast' America made me mindful of a truly GREAT film by the Coen brothers..."The Big Lebowski" and the Newport Beach Sheriff scene Treehorn draws a lot of water...etc).
- Yup! Newport Beach has an average per capita income (PCI) of $86,586.
- Compare that to the US average PCI of $27,589.
Enough of the 'rest' of the US wanted "change" ....well it is here. Look at the sign on the factory gate. Now you "hope" it will go away. Shmuks!
- You're looking at a NO PCI future (unemployment), or one that is vastly reduced by Carteresque stagflation, or a hyper-inflated Mugabe-Zimbabwean lifestyle.
Good luck, suckers. If you don't throw the bums OUT at the polls this Fall, you deserve whatever you get.

British Cyclist Deliberately Run Over in Saudi Arabia
A British man has been killed after youths allegedly rammed a car into a group of friends who were cycling in Saudi Arabia.
John Currie, who worked for BAE Systems – formerly British Aerospace – is believed to have been one four cyclists who started being "cut up" by local youths in two cars on a main road on the outskirts of Riyadh, the Saudi capital.
Initially, it is understood that one of the cars clipped a cyclist causing him to fall off his bike. Then, however, one of the drivers is alleged to have turned around and deliberately ploughed his car into the cyclists...

How to enjoy..........from Rico
Economists are clueless, but average people KNOW (a) how hard it is to find work, and (b) what is really going on.
If you're in the construction trades, or only have a year or two of college....you're out of luck. You may have to "retire" before you ever get back to work.
Household incomes have gone nowhere in the last decade.
Stocks, too, have had a "lost" decade.
Stimuless, didn't do squat for job creation or anything else (save make the payments on a 20-something Wall Street hot-shot's Ferrari and maybe Jamie Dimon's humble hacienda; Vikram Pandit just didn't pay for a few months).
Ben 'the Beard' says "be careful" ...the 'recovery' is not such a sure thing. Timmy ain't talking.
So. How do you enjoy a depression?
- Make sure that you are not in its way.
Video of the Day: Video of Charles Lindbergh's flight
Win Perkins, a real estate appraiser who specializes in airport properties, has posted on his web site a video he created of Charles Lindbergh's preparation and flight, including the famous and risky takeoff in the Spirit of St. Louis . According to Perkins, this is unlike any other presentation of the takeoff footage. Perkins said he assembled news footage from five cameras that filmed Lindbergh's takeoff from Roosevelt Field, Long Island and mixed it with enhanced audio from the same newsreel sources.
When you click on the website address below, you get a photo of the cockpit gauges in the Spirit of St. Louis . It seems like you are in the plane with Lindbergh flying the plane. Episode #3 comes up ready to play.
But there are 4 sequential episodes. I suggest you first go to full screen to view the episodes. Then click on "Contact" to the left and select Episode #1, then watch them in order, #1 through #4.
I was glued to the screen through all four episodes.
I knew Lindbergh was seeking to be the first to fly the Atlantic and win a cash prize, but I did not know that two other aviators were at the same Long Island aeroport preparing to try the flight and win the prize. Lindbergh was the first to take off.
What guts it took for Lindbergh to overcome the odds against him and accomplish this amazing feat.
Select "Contact" after each clip to choose the next Episode

MOVIE REVIEW: THE HURT LOCKER
Early into my military experience, my buddies and I learned that the Army ruins war movies for you, for life. Atomic hand grenades, pistol rounds that cause bodies to explode, etc. This film is at least SOMEWHAT realistic, from a technical point of view.

Surrounded...........from Rico
During the 2008 Presidential Election campaign, then Sen. Barack Obama actually said to an audience:
"Judge me by the people with whom I surround myself."
OK, let's do exactly that whatever-your-name is, you Metrosexual-Marxist-Muslim.
