No problemo!...................from Rico
More market breakage?
- System error?
NOPE. Nothing to see here. Just move along. All is well.
The IBEX (the Spanish exchange) was down for about five hours today. The reasons are still vague and unclear.
Let's see: MFG, PFG, LIeBor, Facebook's IPO faceplant, Knight, the IBEX, now Japan?
- As Japan 'opens' ALL Tokyo derivatives trading is down. TOPIX and JGB futures have been halted. Systems errors are being blamed.
It's a real shame so few took Ann Barnhardt seriously enough.
Think "Lehman x 10" approaching.
U.S. drought: 'Water water every where, nor any drop to drink'!...from Mike Haltman at TPC
Drought conditions cover about 64% of the contiguous United States but for those of us not directly affected it's a situation that can be out of sight out of mind.
The fact of the matter is, however, that the potential exists that we will all be affected in a very real and extreme way if the problem persists as some predict it will!

"Progressive" double-standard, again..................from Rico
The Ft. Hood shooting by the Muslim Army Maj Hassan wasn't terrorism, but was immediately called an "isolated incident" according to Gruppenfuhrer Napolitano of the DHS.
- One of many Uber-clowns in the current regime.
Yet, in almost seconds, the Sikh Temple shooting in Wisconsin has been labeled "domestic terrorism"....
The "progressives" have a very clear and transparent agenda at work, just as it is with fascism...which isn't fascism when THEY do it...neither is it terrorism when one of their 'own' do it (if Maj Hassan or any other ass-in-the-air five-times-a-day Islamofascist scumbag or Paleswinian commits the act, that is).
You'd almost 'think' our radical Commie friends are deliberately trying to 'provoke' a backlash to their behavior in order to create an excuse for their own Reichstag fire and domestic crackdown.
Janet 'from another planet' Napolitano, Barry and fwends are ALL terrorist enablers (how about their using our tax dollars to fund the Muslim Brotherhood and Al Qaeda, etc?) and should themselves be arrested and detained under the NDAA.
Honor Flight Doc Remembers World War II Heroes
In 2009, Reason's Dan Hayes produced a Veterans Day video about the Wisconsin chapter of Honor Flight, a nonprofit that flies World War II veterans gratis to Washington, D.C. to see the memorial dedicated to them. The video is a powerful statment on war, remembrance, gratitude, sacrifice, and the almost-casual heroism of the Greatest Generation.
Since that original piece, Hayes and producer Clay Broga founded Freethink Media and have created a feature-length documentary, Honor Flight, that will premiere at Milwaukee's baseball stadium, Miller Park on Saturday, August 11th. More than 28,000 tickets have been pre-sold, which means that Honor Flight may well break the world record for the largest film screening.
Hayes and Broga sat down with ReasonTV's Nick Gillespie to discuss what initially drew them to the story, how to honor soldiers without glorifying war, and why it's a great time to be an independent filmmaker.

Details on Gunman in Sikh Temple Shooting
See: "Wade Michael Page Identified as Suspect in Sikh Temple Massacre."
The killings are being horribly politicized by the left, as usual. I tweeted on this yesterday:
Neat how#WI shooting called "domestic terrorism" so soon. After Ft. Hood we were told by DHS that it wasn't terrorism just "isolated" case.

Apparently, women can't be prohibited from going without a shirt in New York City. And I'll tell you, we need to educate the feminist public about the law!
Check that video, possibly NSFW.
That lady's a looker!

Waiting For Obama 2.0................from Dan Friedman
[“The Palestinians” know a crypto-sympathizer when they see one. So from now until our elections they’re not going to do anything to force their man in The White House to show his hand. Conversely, Israel can’t wait for the real Obama to stand up after the elections - a lame duck president can be himself in a second term. For that reason, Israel needs to strike Iran well before November, while the upcoming election still has Obama hamstrung. df]

Graphic of business success: Which one of these candidates do you want leading the country?...from Mike Haltman at TPC
A great graphic that highlights the business successes of Mitt Romney who had skin in the game were they to fail.
On the other side are the business failures of Barack Obama and his administration investing the taxpayers money.
As a politician the President faces no blowback or ramifications when these investments fail!
And therein lies the difference between the public sector and the private sector!
Check out the list at The Political Commentator here.
A talking horse? Is this really what the election has come down to? (Video)...from Mike Haltman at TPC
This video of a talking horse supposedly belonging to Mitt Romney represents more of the attempt from the left and the MSM to deflect this campaign from the real issue which is the failure of Barack Obama.
And while Mitt Romney earned his money the old fashioned way plenty of the loudest politicians including Harry Reid made their money through hazier ones. Politicians in glass houses should not be throwing stones!
