Phony Marine at Phony Vietnam Blumenthal’s Presser
Clarice Feldman

*** begin quote ***

Doug Ross spots a ringer. One of the merry band of brother “Marines” at the presser of Connecticut Democrat Senatorial candidate Blumenthal evidently is a phony soldier.

*** end quote ***

“Stolen Honor”!

Phony candidate has phony supporter!

Disgraceful.

Where’s the AG Holder? Oh yeah, he’s a D, so rules don’t apply.

And he is the CT AG!

SERVICE: Why don’t ISPs validate all return addresses?

Thursday, May 20, 2010

Don’t the ISPs have the capability to do a domain look up?

We need to revise the email handling protocols. (imho)

ISPs should insist that peers do some validation.

For example, if say COMCAST and YAHOO are peers, then, at the very least, COMCAST should not accept any email with a Yahoo return address that doesn’t originate from Yahoo. Yahoo should validate every email it peers to COMCAST has having originated from a valid email address. If COMCAST Users mark it as spam, then that fact should be fed back to Yahoo for appropriate action.

And, visa versa.

(I laugh sarcastically when I get spam with a Yahoo bogus return address.)

ISPs like Comcast and EMail providers like Yahoo could “cut off” offenders.

It would seem to be in everyone’s best interest to truncate the flow of bogus email.

Seems easy to me?

POLITICAL: More bailouts until the pig-gy bank is busted

Will the PIGS blow up Europe?
Posted: May 18, 2010
Pat Buchanan

*** begin quote ***

The ECB seems to be substituting itself for the banks as the chump to be left holding the bag when the defaults begin.

*** end quote ***

Whatever you think of Pat as a Presidential candidate, he has a knack for identifying global trends.

Transnationalism, ethno-nationalism, and economic nationalism I think I understand. What he misses in this short piece are the formation of religious nationalism (i.e., Muslims carve out part of countries and align them…selves with their religion as opposed to the country) AND the liberal politically correct non-nationalism. Maybe he covers these in his book.

In any event, a thought provoking one pager.

Clearly, the US Taxpayer is on the hook for this bailout. All to benefit the banks that are stuck with the deadbeat’s bonds!

When this all fails, what happens?

POLITICAL: Filling out my list of the “worst” Presidents

Wednesday, May 19, 2010

A fellow alum posited that:

*** begin quote ***

“If you were to be trapped in a cave for 30 days and had the choice of ANY dead president to chill with…who would it be and why.”

Probably George Washington or Lyndon B. Johnson.

Washington so I could fill him in the shit state of the US today.

Johnson because he was an incredibly important figure during the Vietnam War and the Civil Rights movement. I guess I’m not over my thesis. Still emotionally attached. Sigh. I would just like to talk to him about his true feelings about the war as well as the civil rights and black power movements.

*** end quote ***

Washington was unarguably the “best” President.

But I’d assert that LBJ is pretty well down there for worst. “Civil Rights” was forced on him by the “evil” republicans to get more funding for Vietnam. (I remember reading about it in the papers.)

My “worst” list:

(1) Lincoln (Civil War over secession ending the “America Experiment” on liberty, corrupt railroad lawyer figuratively in bed with Northeastern power brokers and literally in bed with some “interesting” people whole presenting a different image to the folks, First Amendment violations, Income Tax, )

(2) Wilson (duped us into WW2 after running on a “peace platform”, racist, Progressive, Federal Reserve, Income Tax)

(3) Truman (ABombed defenseless civilians)

(4) FDR (Progressive, the “social security” scam, End the Gold Standard, may have lied us into war, Harrison Narcotics Tax Act of 1914.)

(5) LBJ (Gulf of Tonkin to expand the VietNam war, expanded the draft, put the Welfare / Warfare state on steroids)

(6) BHO (Healthcare, Porkulous, GM, Wall Street Bailout, started us on the road to socialism)

Also rans (Not even close to the “big” time):

(*) Nixon (Expanded Drug War on the inner cities, ended the international Gold Standard)

(*) Bush41 (“No new taxes”)

(*) Kennedy (Expanded the VietNam war, Bay of Pigs, permitted a trip to Dallas)

(*) Regan (Deficits, ran with Bush41)

(*) Jefferson (Demonstrated that absolute power corrupts even the best men)

(*) Bush43 (Started the Iraq war)

(*) Clinton (Whitewater, “Slick-ness”, Monica IN the Oval Office, lot of “little wars”)

Comment?

Adding Teddy to #7 ahead of the “also-rans”!

(7) Teddy (Crazy, “world’s policeman”, “master race”, “trust buster” of the unfavored business, “food safety crisis”, “conservation”, and worst reviving the income tax.

RANT: TV ads are gross!

Tuesday, May 18, 2010

Can you believe what they advertise on TV? Trojan personal massager. Sorry, but that’s unbelievable.

What can we learn from this? Anything sells.

GOLDBUG: Just because there’s an obvious bias, doesn’t mean what being said is wrong

Tuesday, May 18, 2010

http://www.kitco.com/ind/GoldReport/may32010.html

*** begin quote ***

In terms of preserving the purchasing power of your assets, the best thing I can think of is physical gold. That’s worked over the millennia. I’m not per se a gold bug. It just happens to be a circumstance in which it’s the cleanest asset around for that. You don’t need to put all your assets into gold, but hold some. Hold some silver. I’d look to get some assets out of the U.S. dollar and look to get some assets out of the U.S. When I say outside of the U.S. dollar, again, I look at the Canadian dollar, Australian dollar, Swiss franc in particular. I think they will tend to do particularly well, whereas the U.S. dollar is going to become effectively worthless.

As the dollar breaks down, you’ll also likely see disruptions in supply chains, including shipments of food to grocery stores. People should consider maintaining stockpiles of basic goods needed for living, much as they would for a natural disaster. I sit on the Hayward fault in California. I have a supply of goods and basic necessities in case something terrible happens—natural or man-made—that will carry me for a couple of months. It may take that long for a barter system to evolve, which I think is what you’re going to end up with; at least until a new currency system is reorganized and you get a government that’s able to bring its fiscal house into order. No currency system in the U.S. is going to work unless the fiscal conditions that drove it into oblivion are also addressed.

*** end quote ***

Ignoring for the moment Kitco’s inherent bias, (just because they’re biased, doesn’t mean they are wrong), it would seem that buying 1,000 ounces of silver rounds (about 19K$) is good “inflation insurance”. Remember Zimbabwe used silver, gold, and American dollars when their currency collapsed. A lesson form the Mormons about food storage; it’s be nice to keep a year’s worth. And, an urban yute discouragement device or two with a sufficient of individual reminders to go away, and you have a nice “insurance police” in case crazy as a loon Ferd is right once in his life. Remember forewarned is fore armed. Or, four armed. As I see it, fjohn

GOVEROTRAGEOUS: 1099’s galore?

Monday, May 17, 2010

http://www.americanthinker.com/blog/2010/05/democrats_bring_death_by_a_tho.html

May 16, 2010
Democrats bring death by a thousand new regulations
Ed Lasky

*** begin quote ***

The absurdity of this approach is clear in the ObamaCare legislation. Among its features are a requirement that all businesses file 1099s for any person or vendor that they pay $600 or more over the course of the year. This will be a nightmare for many small businessmen already laboring under the impact of existing rules , as well as other ObamaCare impacts, as this Investors Business Daily column makes clear.

*** end quote ***

Has anyone thought about the absurdity of all this paper being mailed around. Is this some type of subsidy to the Post Office? And, how about all the IRS workers that will have to be hired!

Argh!

INTERESTING: Just had a windshield star repaired; easy, cheap, and effective

Monday, May 17, 2010

Had some time to kill. (Lots of that from time to time.) Did the Safelite Auto Glass thing on my “star”. Worked well. THe insurance company waived my deductible and paid the 138$. (Why I don’t know? I had high deductible so they would never get bill for the windshield. So why did they pay? A process failure? Maybe they need a BPR consultant? You know “bothering people relentlessly”.)

RECOMMENDED!
