LIBERTY: Air America is a campaign finance law end run

Special treatment for Air America
By John R. Lott Jr. and Bradley A. Smith
Published October 26, 2006

When is a campaign donation not a campaign donation? Apparently if you spend the money to run a radio program instead of paying for campaign ads that run on that same program. Just look at Air America. With $41 million in losses since 2004, and $9.8 million owed just to Robert Glaser, RealNetworks chairman, Democrats who bankrolled this “company” weren’t so much investors as campaign contributors. The losses are seen as simple business ineptitude,but Air America effectively, and perhaps intentionally, cleverly avoided the campaign finance limits which Democrats had worked so hard to pass.

Keep all that dirty money out of campaigns. Except for incumbents and friends of incumbents.
My rule: No vote for incumbents. No votes for Big Gubamint candidates. Small Government! All the time; no exceptions.

JOBSEARCH: A web-base Office clone … free
Friday, October 27, 2006ThinkFree is web-based tool.
For seekers, who are “out”, this might be a way to get a “microsoft office” clone that wouldn’t require having your own pc or paying for software.
In my thinking, the baby turkey doesn’t want to start the computing trek right after getting nuked, by having to go buy a computer. Basically, they go from using their employer’s to having to select, operate, and learn their own.
(One reason why I tell turkeys who are “in” to address this need before they are put “out”.)
I’m sure that they take the easy way out — when they have so MANY other problems — and just replicate what they had at their employer. That drops a bundle when they can least afford it.
Anyway, ThinkFree could fill the niche for computing need without investment. For example, usually the local library, or any library, has internet access for free. And there are inet cafes around.
The money that a baby turkey would drop on a replacement of the employer’s desktop would buy many library or inet cafe sessions. Or, at the very least, allow them to buy the cheapest computer and inet connection.
For seekers, who are “in” and not delusional that their current gig will last for ever, this may be a solution to lots of issues. Want to write and send an email without leaving a trace on your work top? Want to send an email from your worktop with out using your employer’s email.

TECHNOLOGY: Get a feel for the Web 2.0. Do it and grok it!
Friday, October 27, 2006Someone asked me to formulate a demonstration of Web 2.0 and the power of XML.
Let’s go BLOG 2 FEED 2 EMAIL.
Free.
AND, completely independent inet web services that speak XML to each other.
SO we’re going to tie WORDPRESS (a great blog site) to FEEDBURNER (a great feed generating site) to FEEDBLITZ (a great feed 2 email site).
Without cost and in minutes.
==== BEGIN ====
Start a free blog
Let’s create “loveconquersallthings”.
It’s now at:
http://loveconquersallthings.wordpress.com/
Put in a message at:
https://loveconquersallthings.wordpress.com/wp-admin/post-new.php
You’re now a blogger.
Go to a different web service site, and create a feed:
http://www.feedburner.com/fb/a/home
and it now tells you that the feed is available here:
http://feeds.feedburner.com/wordpress/RPsI
Now you have a blog and a feed, lets ship it to email:
and it tells you here’s the link to add an email output:
http://www.feedblitz.com/f/?Sub=115156
Plug in your email address and respond to the challenge.
It sends an email to confirm that the owner of the email wants it.
Confirm your subscription with the link in the email.
==== DONE ====
Now write a post in your blog. And the next day, it appears in your email box.
Why?
You have put the email recipient in true control of their subscription to your blog. You don’t need to know their email address. No chance for spam.
That’s the promise of web 2.0!
I hope that helps.

MONEY: What does FDIC insurance really mean? Not much imho!
Friday, October 27, 2006What Does FDIC Insurance Really Mean?
Clarifying the Top 10 misperceptions
Published: October 23, 2006
***Begin Quote***
To help depositors avoid repeating the mistakes of others, FDIC Consumer News has compiled this “Top 10” list of misconceptions that some people have about FDIC insurance. This list is based on discussions with FDIC deposit insurance specialists, including representatives at our toll-free, which handles hundreds of calls a month from consumers asking about their deposit insurance.
***End Quote***
Misconception 11: That when the “barbara striesand” hit the fan you’ll be OK.
When the banks start failing, the FDIC will get hit with so MANY claims the Federal Reserve, which is neither Federal, nor does it have anything in reserve, will have to subcontract to Charmin Toilet Paper to get more “dollars” to placate everyone.
What would cause the banks to start failing?
Loss of confidence in the Federal Reserve Bank Note. (Affectionately called the furbie or FRBie by it’s detractors!) When the foreigners stop sending toyotas for pretty green pieces of paper, then we’re in a world of striesand! When the sheiks want gold of oil, then we’re in a world of striesand! When WalMart wants metal aot furbies, then we’re in a world of striesand!
The Real Estate market falls off a cliff. When McMansions can’t sell at any price. Debtors will walk away leaving the house for the bank. What’s the bank gonna do with it? When the depositor walks in to get their cash, what does the bank do? Give them a basement, bedroom, or kitchen. I don’t think so. Now, we have some experience in bank runs from the Great Depression. And, some modern history in the S&L debacle in the 80s. Every homeowner ASSUMES (and we all know what that means!) that their house will increase in value and that they will be able to pay off their mortgage with dollars that are worth 5% less every year. What if that’s not true?
We, the people, in order to form a more perfect union, decide that we want “real money”. As a nation, if we stop using “dollars” and shift to say gold coins … err medallions … since the Mint thinks that only they can coin … so we use ounces of gold and silver as our “real” money. Envision that you have ten gold coins in your pocket and 70 hundred dollar furbies, which will you dump first? Yup, those furbies. That will KILL the banks. People will not be “saving” furbies with them but converting furbies to medallions. That signals the end to the era of fiat currency.
Misconception 12: That when the “barbara striesand” hit the fan, the Federal Government will stand behind the FDIC
Hmmm, politicians be counted upon to keep their promises. There’s a losing strategy!

XPfails – luggable – slows to crawl
Friday, October 27, 2006LUGGABLE needed a reboot. It slowed to a crawl. FFOX2 appears to be the culprit with all applications entries not responding. Nuking everything in sight didn’t seem to help. Argh!

Note the garbage line that looks like bad format.
Note all the advertising. (Yuck!)
Verdict: Would be a good feature. Not properly implemented. Obviously not tested.
