ART OF THE AMERICAN SOLDIER
More than 15,000 paintings and sketches created by over 1,300 American soldiers in the line of duty - in curatorial storage in Washington, D.C. for decades - these powerful works of art will be on display at the National Constitution Center from September 24, 2010 through March 31, 2011. The exhibition, featuring a never-before-seen collection, was created by the Center in partnership with the U.S. Army Center of Military History and the National Museum of the United States Army. Following its world debut at the Center, the exhibition will begin a national tour.
Official site: Art of the American Soldier.

Pale ALE................from Rico
Our 'new' normal will be BIFLATION:
- Debt-based assets (like homes) will continue to lose value.* The 'bottom' has not yet been reached. Some are saying we have 30-50% to fall yet. Look at the attached chart and decide for yourself...
- Essential goods (like food and energy) will continue to rise.
*In Japan over the last twenty years, real estate has lost 70% of its value (inflation-adjusted).
Pale ALE.
- No, not the kind where "time, gentlemen" is called, but Assets-Liabilities=Equity. Students of accounting know this well.- Home ownership for many has become a liability and not an asset. The same is becoming the case for Federal Reserve Notes (aka Dollars). They are NOT a 'safe haven' when you look at the attached chart showing the downward movement of the Dollar over time. Is Alexander Hamilton smiling from his grave? John Maynard Keynes surely must be spinning in his.
Take away?
- Real estate and Dollars may actually not be the best assets to hold. Think hard commodities, and skills. The new reality is that farmers and gold miners are more of a natural aristocracy....let's say meritocracy than the paper-pushers on Wall Street or in the FED or Treasury.

Feminist Resistance
Just sharing something I found when writing my latest post on the #MooreandMe feminists.
Here's a 1994 flashback from the New York Times, "Mrs. Bobbitt is Symbol of Feminist Resistance":To the Editor:
Hmm, feminist innovation.
Like most of the American mass media, you have framed the Lorena L. Bobbitt affair as an issue of penile mutilation. You ignore the social context of Lorena Bobbitt's actions.
Prof. Catharine MacKinnon of the University of Michigan and the writer Andrea Dworkin long ago pointed to the institution of marriage as a legal cover for the act of rape and the permanent humiliation of women. Lorena Bobbitt's life has been a poignant instance of that nightmare, which elicited a bold and courageous act of feminist self-defense.
As one who recently returned from a conference of feminist activists in Europe, I can assure readers that the Lorena Bobbitt case has galvanized the women's movement worldwide in a way the Anita Hill case never did. No feminist is advocating emasculation as the weapon of first choice. And some women question the political prudence of "sociosexual vigilantism." But whatever the judgment of America's patriarchal legal system, Lorena Bobbitt is for most feminists no criminal. She is instead a symbol of innovative resistance against gender oppression everywhere ....

Yeah. Sure.
Syria can do no wrong
...you gotta give BHO credit, he realized that this move was so ludicrous that he did it while the US Congress was in recess (thereby removing the otherwise needed congressional approval for ambassadorship).
The US pulled the ambassador six years ago after Syria killed the Lebanese Premier Rafik Hariri. But that's not all. They are actively aiding Hezbollah in taking over Lebanon and waging war against Israel (smuggling weapons, missiles, and fighters). They imported terrorists into Iraq to kill US troops. They are actively rebuilding and updating their huge, horrible chemical weapon arsenal...

The lamest generation................from Rico
The GREATEST generation was followed by the LAMEST generation. Smug, arrogant, childish and child-like. Irresponsible.
- As Nasty Pelosi once said "it's for the children!" She oughtta know. Irresponsibility on Botox.
Now we have the "boomers" beginning to retire.
- The median retirement account these mental midgets have accumulated is $2,000.
- 1 in 3 Americans has $0 [zero] dollars in a retirement account....not ONE rapidly eroding Dollar! Groovy, man. Far out.
Is it any wonder that this electorate turned over the Nation's purse-strings by electing a Democratic Congress in 2006? Cool, huh? The debt accumulated by the 110th and 111th Congress under Reid-Pelosi has dwarfed that of the 100 previous Congresses. Irresponsibility writ large.
Neither Banks nor Nations are TBTF [too big to fail]. Repeat after me: Weimar, Zimbabwe, Argentina...
