I like quite a few of these, actually...and to be completely honest with you IF I cannot get Ted Nugent to run for President, the Hermann Cain is my next choice.
Romney? Meh. He might as well be a Dimocrat as far as I can tell. I'll never forgive this assclown for Romneycare, and a lot of other stuff. He's just a RINO like McCain is...small wonder the Communists (D) and the media love him.
- I registered Independent because BOTH parties now stink, and it's only a matter of to what degree on what issues and I fear the Republicrats will go with a sure 'loser' like Romney instead of Cain.
Put up or shut up, you might fairly say to me. What am I gonna DO about a 'no' choice election?
- Here's what. I'm working on a second passport* right now, just-in-case O-numbnuts and the Marxists actually 'win' because the RINO's threw the election away.
I am NOT liking this Police State we are fast becoming!

Never ending crisis................from Rico
By my count, the saviors of EUrope and the Euro are meeting again in the 14th "crisis summit" in 21 months.
- You have GOT to be sh*tting me!
This alone should tell you these people have no earthly "clue" how to 'fix' the unfixable.
- They still haven't grasped the Law of Holes: when you find yourself at the bottom of one, stop digging!
Well, perhaps we should be grateful that this thing is looking like a slow-motion train-wreck because when the crash does happen, it won't be pretty.
- This seemingly never-ending crisis will end, and it's gonna hurt.

Forget Greece, watch Germany!...............from Rico
So far over the course of the last two years, the focus has been on the prospect of Greece leaving the EU...or being kicked out.
Forget Greece...watch Germany!
Something very bad is happening behind the scenes, behind the happy-face "Greek Problem Solved" pronouncements for the umpteenth-time in two years.
Multiple sources (not just 'one' but several disparate and credible ones) are telling me that Germany is printing Deutsche Marks!
Why? In preparation for Germany to leave the EU.
Dr. Pippa Malmgren, a former advisor to Deutsche Bank says the printing has already been ordered in anticipation of a withdrawal from the EU.
If Germany pulls-the-plug, it will collapse the Euro and the EU.
Prepare for systemic failure in weeks or months...?
- Europe's Banks will crash, proving that 2008 was only the prelude to the REAL disaster coming in the next 14 months. And, it will involve corporate, financial, and sovereign bond defaults.
This is a horrible time to be in the "safety' of bonds!
- Have you paid attention to all the 'haircut' talk bond-holders are going to be asked to take recently? Decapitation is much more likely.....

Probably, but it's not like he's repairing relations with the conservative base, or anything.

Iraq: The UnAssing
The logistical hello about trekking tons of gear and troops to Kuwait to load up and ship out also presents ops for enemies to claim they ran Great Satan out of Dodge - not unlike a Saigon redux:
"Late afternoon, a large convoy of nearly 200 vehicles approached the bridge spanning the Euphrates near the town of Abu Sukhayr, around 11 miles SE of Najaf. Roughly half the convoy had crossed the bridge, at which point Shi'ia militia forces opened fire with small arms and Anti Panzer Guided Munitions (ATGMs) on the convoy from both sides of the river. Simultaneously, a dozen or more IEDs were detonated.
A firefight ensued between Great Satan's troops caught on both sides of the river and elements of the Mahdi Army. Fighting raged into the evening and throughout the night, as Army attack helicopters and Air Force strike aircraft rushed to assist the convoy's defense.
Around 2300 hours, as the convoy's soldiers manned a "thin green line" defensive perimeter at both ends of the bridge, a heliborne rapid reaction force arrived, landing some 500 soldiers 2 miles from the battle scene. Shortly before 0200 hours that night the relief force broke through to the besieged force and enabled it to hold it's position against repeated militia assaults until morning, when a column of M1 panzers arrived - the lead elements of a brigade combat team, one of only two such units remaining in Iraq.
57 Americans died in the Stand at Najaf and over 300 were wounded. While it is not known how many militia causalities were suffered, independent estimates put the figure at about 2 thousand killed and twice that number wounded. 2 Americans earned the CMOH, 11 other GI's earned 3 Silver Stars and 8 Bronze Stars that day for their heroism in battle which at several points witnessed massed charges by the militias and scenes of intense hand to hand fighting.via GrEaT sAtAn"s gIrLfRiEnD
Much of the battle was videoed by the Mahdi Army. While the quality was poor owing to the fact that most of the battle took place at night, both the initial stages and the the aftermath - a long line of burning wrecked vehicles - were widely available on the internet and shown repeatedly on Arab television. Arab media, in particular, picked up on Mahdi Army's line: "America's Highway of Death."

Leverage..........from Rico
With the World awash in 'liquidity' no one has seemd to notice that it's all in the form of leverage or cheap debt, and not real capitol or equity.
The US banking system is leveraged at 13:1.
BUT, EUropes banking system is leveraged at 26:1. [This borderlines Lehman's 30:1.]
- At these levels, a 4% drop wipes out ALL equity.
Japan's banks are leveraged 23:1. Fwance's 26:1. Germany's 32:1.
Got the idea?
WORSE, the FED is leveraged at 53:1!
The Quote of the Decade:
“The fact that we are here today to debate raising America 's debt limit is a sign of leadership failure. It is a sign that the US Government cannot pay its own bills. It is a sign that we now depend on ongoing financial assistance from foreign countries to finance our Government's reckless fiscal policies. Increasing America 's debt weakens us domestically and internationally. Leadership means that, "the buck stops here.' Instead, Washington is shifting the burden of bad choices today onto the backs of our children and grandchildren. America has a debt problem and a failure of leadership. Americans deserve better.”
~ Senator Barack H. Obama, March 2006

Talking vs. Doing...............from Rico
People...both Americans and EUropeans...are slowly coming to understand that there is a vast difference between 'talking' and 'doing.'
While O-Barry and Merkozy, et al flap their gums and gas endlessly, nothing...I say again NOTHING...is getting 'done.'
- Well, unless you consider being 'talked to death' an accomplishment.
Greece cannot be 'saved' from itself. Not by anyone else, not Merkel, not Sarkozy, and not the EU combined.
- If they are not already printing Drachma's, then the progeny of Aristotle is brain-dead.
The cancellation of this Wodenstag's "summit" is just one more admission that the 'solution' to the Greek problem cannot be either agreed-upon, or reached, or even attainable.
- This is SO bad, it cannot be fixed.
Forget Greece, and the PIIGS. It will now be all about PIIS.
- Portugal, Ireland, Italy, Spain.
EUropa will be having it's "golden shower" moment imminently.
- Got Gold?
It beats PIIS!

Global Warming: An Obituary
The October 25th edition of The Wall Street Journal sports an editorial titled “The Post-Global Warming World” commenting on the fact that the 17th annual United Nations-sponsored climate change conference in November is likely to be an even greater flop than recent ones. Few, if any, nations will sign on to the huge hoax of reducing carbon dioxide (CO2) to save the world from burning to a crisp.Considering the long years of media-driven drivel about global warming, the hoax should have been over by now, given the exposure in 2009 of thousands of emails between the UN Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) conspirators an growing body of evidence that everything they asserted was a great steaming pile of horse manure.
