POLITICAL: Sorry, I’m not laughing! (Too much playing with the turth.)

LUDITE’S WIFE SENT ME THIS:

*** begin quote ***

Barack Obama says:

Simple-minded John McCain cannot use a computer.

John McCain’s question is:

Has Barack Obama ever landed a jet plane on an aircraft carrier at night?

*** end quote ***

Many a true word is said in jest.
A quick google search on: obama+mccain+”computer use” pops:

“1982. John McCain goes to Washington. Things have changed in the last 26 years, but McCain hasn’t,” says a voice-over in the ad against shots of a Rubik’s Cube, a disco ball, a massive cell phone and an old computer. “He admits he still doesn’t know how to use a computer, can’t send an e-mail, still doesn’t understand the economy, and favors $200 billion in new tax cuts for corporations, but almost nothing for the middle class. After one president who’s out of the touch, we just can’t afford more of the same.

The main stream media may be able to dupe some folks with this drivel.
But, I personally took note of their derision of how he waves (i.e., due to his war injuries), his age exploited in the photos of Obama shoveling dirt into the sandbags (i.e., Regan’s line about taking advantage of my opponent’s youth and inexperience comes to mind), and most of all Obama’s / McCain’s respective records in the Senate (or lack there of).
Like when they called Bush an idiot, I’d suggest that go up to any fighter pilot today and call them and idiot. Then they can report to the ER for a broken nose.
No, this election has crossed over the boundaries of ‘fair play’ several times. More from the left, than the right! Unfortunately, the main stream media has it’s own opinions it is propagandizing. It would be interesting if there was a fair score being kept.
Hopefully, the Great Scorekeeper is going to even out the game in the end? If so, a lot of people are going to be roasty toasty!

MONEY: Why not deal directly with the Treasury?

A Question

*** begin quote ***

Some years ago, I signed up for U.S. Treasury press releases regarding bond and note sales. I don’t remember why I did this, and generally I never bothered to read the e-mails.

*** end quote ***

Once upon a time, Treasury debt, specifically T-Bills, were only available in 10k$ denomination. Once upon a time, FDIC insurance was only available up to a very limited amount. (I remember it as 10k. But that was a long long time ago.) Obviously, there was some payoffs — legal campaign contributions or illegal graft — and “insurance” was raised to 100k.

Why do we need FDIC?

Small depositors can deal directly with the Treasury via Treasury Direct!

So, explain to me again WHY we need any FDIC insurance?

Is it a payoff to banks who make contributions? Or is there another scam going on?

Sigh!

As you might guess, I have my ‘agents’ spread far and wide across the internet looking for any hint of a Jasper. They are wrascally wrabbits doing all they can to hide. What I find personally very frustrating is when and ‘agent’ calls home with a great story. I go to ‘collect’ it and it’s NOT accessible. Argh! IMHO the engines should not index content that is not reachable. TO me this is a flaw in Google and Live Journal. Argh! And, Gina may not be aware that she has NOT posted a heartwarming tribute for the word to read. She just writing to her friends. I hate to be teased. Sigh!
