RANT: Where are the bananas?
Monday, February 11, 2013I must be getting old and stupid?
I read the artcle that said make bananas last longer by separating the siblings. And, wrapping the tops in saran wrap.
So I bought a bunch green at WalMart.
Gottem home, separated them, knotted each individually into its own walmart bag, and stored them in different places. IN the crock pot, in the microwave, in the dish cabinet, in the food cabinet.
Now I’m concerned I haven’t found them all. I think there are two unacounted for?
Argh!
When my executrix cleans out the place, I’m sure she’ll find them.
LAFF!

MEMORIES: Growlers
Sunday, February 10, 2013In my never ending quest to rediscover the old dives of my childhood — yes, I frequented bars in my high school days; one of the advantages of working real jobs with real men — was the discovery of quaint places that were friendly and welcoming.
Unlike today, where it’s a gooferment regulated expensive hustle.
Beer in high school was 20 cents; 10 cents if you had id. It was as cheap as soda. The bars then would turn a blind eye to age. And you’d get bounced forever if you were “rude”. BUt I digress. When I went into my regular place, the regular tender made a big deal of proofing me. Wonder how he knew? And I got the “legal” price.
But I digress.
I happened to try the “Mad Fox Brewing Company” in Fairfax for “dinner”.
And, incomes a patron buying a ‘growler’ of beer.
Boy, did that bring back old memories.
My father-in-law didn’t care for canned or bottled beer; said it gave him gas. So every night, and I mean every night after the family dinner, he go downstairs to the tavern with his ceramic / metal container. I was informed is was a “growler”. Conveniently, the tavern was located next door to the apartments. A while later, he’d return with a growler full of draft beer.
When the growler was “dirty”. (It had to be cleaned and seasoned. Never learned what all that was.) He’d get cardboard ones. But they deteriorated quickly.
SO, any way, as much as I try to escape the past, it seems to haunt me.
Girls basketball on TV too.
Just in case I might forget.

GOLDBUG: Gold, Gold miners, and anything “honest” in China?

Marc Faber: I’m Buying Gold Because I’m Fearful of a Systemic Crisis
by Constantine Gardner
Dr. Marc Faber the Swiss fund manager and Gloom Boom & Doom publisher believes markets will punish central banks, at some stage, for their extensive monetary easing. This could materialize as a bonds market collapse or a stock market bubble.
He reckons investors should enjoy the rally while it lasts, and says he is already unwinding his long positions because when ‘euphoria’ builds up and everybody is investing, markets turn down. He also thinks investors who don’t own gold are in “great danger”.

MONEY: Banking cartel is a bandit that doesn’t move; how stupid are we?
Friday, February 8, 2013http://lewrockwell.com/orig9/polleit5.1.1.html
Banking and the State
At other end of the spectrum is the stationary bandit. Like the roving bandit, he also holds the monopoly of coercion over his victims.
However, the stationary bandit has an encompassing interest in society’s welfare. He wishes to keep his victims producing: the more his victims produce, the more there is to take for the stationary bandit.
Sharing in society’s losses, the stationary bandit will make sure that his thievery is limited. The higher the losses in production from thievery are, the lower will be the level of aggression at which the stationary bandit’s take is maximized. The stationary bandit’s time preference will therefore be lower than the time preference of the roving bandit.
*****
A great discription of the Federal Reserve System, (which isn’t Federal; reserves nothing; and only a ‘system’ as like OPEC for money!), “stationary bandit”!
Argh!

GUNS: AK47!
Thursday, February 7, 2013http://lewrockwell.com/gun-reviews/ar15-or-ak47.html
AR-15 or AK-47?
They’re both fun to shoot, but here are the big differences, says Hickok45
*****
Best survival shool demo of my life:
Envision OLDER than dirt 4 stripers tells us noobs: “If youre unfortunate enuf to wind up in Re PUB lick of, ‘acquire’ an ak. Here’s why!” He proceeds to drop an AK in mud, stands on it with his foot, while he fires an AR15. Then picks up the AK twirls it once around his head, and fires.
MADE an impression on me.
Screw that. If I was unfortunate enough to hit the meat grinder, I knew what I was doing. (Other than kissing my a double q goodbye!)
Argh!

Clinton: Benghazi Won’t Affect Whether I Run For President
February 1, 2013 8:02 AM
WASHINGTON — Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton is leaving office with a slap at critics of the Obama administration’s handling of the September attack on a U.S. diplomatic mission in Libya. She told The Associated Press that critics of the administration’s handling of the attack don’t live in an “evidence-based world” and their refusal to “accept the facts” is unfortunate and regrettable for the political system.

“What does it matter?”
I think it does.
I think she took SOS ,aot a spot on the Surpremes, thinking that the she needed “foreign policy” on the old resume for 2016. Instead, she got a “black eye”.
Argh!
Feel sorry for her; she tried.
Best laid plans of mice, men, and women gang aft a glee.

RANT: The four insideous taxes
Sunday, February 3, 2013”“Florida is a state of choice,” said Thalius Hecksher, global development chief for Apex Fund Services, who moved many of his operations to Palm Beach. “It’s organically grown. There’s no need to drag people down here. It’s a zero-income-tax jurisdiction.”” http://buff.ly/WszLB0 Should have done it year ago!!!
‘Wall St.’ flees NY for tax-free Fla.

Don’t forget FOUR insidious taxes that you don’t see: (1) the inflation tax — the FED has destroyed 99%of the value of the dollar in the last three or four decades; (2) the gas tax — gets added into every product sold and into every capital good used to make products, or deliver them; (3) the corporate tax — corps don’t pay tax, people do, they just pass it on; and (4) the estate tax — that turns productive assets into legal fees and schemes to avoid it as opposed to capital investment that improves society’s wealth — say goodbye to the family farm or a families’ small business. I’d assert that (a) the true tax rate is incalculable because it’s so well hidden; (B) it crushes the poor and middle class; and (c) some years we pay more than 100% of an annual year’s earnings in taxes! The loss of purchasing power means real savings goes down DESPITE rising account balances!!!!!!!!!

SERVICE: TWITTER hacked; change passwords
Saturday, February 2, 2013Dear Twitter User:
As a precautionary security measure, we have reset your Twitter account password. Check your inbox for a separate email from Twitter with instructions on how to reset your password. If you don’t see an email, you can go to this page in our Help Center to request a password reset. More information is below.
We recently detected an attack on our systems in which the attackers may have had access to limited user information – specifically, your username, email address and anencrypted/salted version of your password (not the actual letters and numbers in your password). Further information about the attack can be found in this blog post.
Since your password has been reset, your old password will not work when you try to log into Twitter. We strongly encourage you to take this opportunity to select a strong password – at least 10 (but more is better) characters and a mixture of upper and lowercase letters, numbers, and symbols – that you are not using for any other accounts or sites. Using the same password for multiple online accounts significantly increases your odds of being compromised.
For more information about making your Twitter and other Internet accounts more secure, read our Help Center documentation or the FTC’s guide on passwords.
This attack was not the work of amateurs, and we do not believe it was an isolated incident. The attackers were extremely sophisticated, and we believe other companies and organizations have also been recently similarly attacked. For that reason we felt that it was important to reset your password and publicize this attack while we still gather information. We are also helping government and federal law enforcement in their effort to find and prosecute these attackers to make the Internet safer for all users.
