  • The Hindenburg Omen (Extended) [View instapost]
    I have come from a very tough and vulgar life. Not meant to be abusive towards anyone just the words that were use. 18 years as a Marine brat followed by 20 years in the Marines. I did not grow up in a catholic school nor did I serve in one.

    Foul language was and has always been a part of my. I am sorry if I have offended anyone but that is just who I am and who I will die as. I never have directed it at any of you and I have stated in the past that I would not call any of you a dirty name. I make that a point that is important to me.

    As far as racial slurs I have used them in jokes. Ethnic jokes. But never directed at anyone directly. I have two children that have suffered horrible racial slurs at them because they are half Japanese. From
    chink, gook, hong kong boy, to many others I have had to watch my children deal with those issues. I would gladly choke the living life out of the boys and girls that have said those things. I can't!!

    I have lived in Hawaii to Japan and have been subjected to racial slurs myself because I was not the local race. I have seen both sides of the line. It is not a good line no matter the side and should never be drawn.

    I would hope that my frustration and language is never directed at anyone on SA but when referring to our crooks (I'm being nice) in Washington I can't make no promise there. I am angry and from what I said on my Patriots March on Washington to numerous comments on this site about Washington I find it very difficult to come up with good alternative words to describe what I feel is happening and what I feel needs said. Sorry folks, for the past and for the what will occur again. I can not help myself. One does not change 38 years of life overnight. I will work on it but that is the best promise I can commit to.

    Rocks I don't think what you have ever said has bothered me. Again I say that with the understanding that I look no farther than the feeling of a statement and spend NO time looking for any farther meaning unless the comment is directed at me and it is a very deep discussion. I must add I am not very good with deep discussion. Just ask my wife.

    I still hope that we can get over this and get a fresh start. I am seeing a glimmer of hope here. I am optimistic. One of my faults that I prefer over the opposite option.

    Sorry my post is so late in the weekend, It has been a busy weekend. My life is not perfect and needs tended to at times. This has been 2 weeks of issues.

    Best wishes and contemplate well with a clean clear heart and reflect upon your own life prior to making overly harsh judgments. We will all be judged someday. I hope like hell I get a lot of mercy and leeway. I am going to need it.

    Today veterans are selling poppy flower in places all over America. Support the veterans today if you are out by donating and wearing your poppy flower as a show of support.

    I am off to to do my part in handing them out and collect donations. Its a good cause. I go every year, its a long day standing and talking to people. Some support the troops whole heartedly, sometimes I get the dumbest looks from people and sometimes its just contempt. Unfortunately our troops can not pick the Americans whose freedom they fight for. I am sure that would change the equation rather quickly.

  • Bailed-out banksters complain (vaguely) that restricting bonuses causes their talent to flee, but Bloomberg nails down where they're going: Nomura and Barclays. Derek Thompson feels some sympathy for the poor devils - after all, a talent exodus will hurt taxpayer-owned institutions - but figures a solution may be to make the bailed-out firms back into retail banks where the brain drain is less likely.  [View news story]
    Maybe we will get some leadership with morals once all the cockroaches flee the light of day. To bad we can't spray them down so when they leave they would kill the nest.

    If its because of a stronger dollar, double silver and double gold.

    It its because the end is coming. I would buy a DPMS Panther LRT-SASS. Just in case, but only just in case.

    If its just a correction YH took the best idea.

    Usually there is a temp hire surge before Christmas followed by the layoff later. Wonder how that is going to work out this year.

  • Wall Street Breakfast: Must-Know News [View article]
    WHO made the rule to prevent under capitalized banks from offering higher interest rates to depositors? Prevent the banks from seeking the very capital they need and keep us citizens from getting a decent interest rate, presently nearly nothing.

    This just smacks of corruption from elected officials trying to collect more reelection bribes from the too big to fails in an effort to strengthen said TBF's.

    We hear Dodd, Frank, et al talking like they are going to save the consumers with new banking regulations and this is what we get.

    Watch what they deliver on not what they say. Our congress and senate are so corrupt they no longer hide anything if you just don't listen, instead WATCH it will become crystal clear..

    The title of that website is "Market Skeptics" that should be a hint.

    Rocks, I feel bad for what has transpired between you and Freya. Hell I have not been a saint with my posts here myself. I am especially "vocal" in my disgust with our congress and the corruption in Washington. Probably should tone it down. I will work on that but ITS OUR COUNTRY THEY ARE DESTROYING.

    Freya please let me know if that has offended you. As I have said before, I have thick skin and will take my chewing out in stride. Sorry If I have been a participant in upsetting you. Oh Gee you too.

    Rocks, I have found that the yellowish night driving glasses help me figure out the shadows from the monsters. I hate night driving and it only gets worse if there is rain or snow.

    2 years ago I drove to PA and got in at 2:00 AM 6.5 hours driving after work and it snowed from the halfway point and getting worse the farther we went. I felt very disoriented with the night, snow and wipers going wide open. When I got out of the truck I fell down and could not walk. I had a very severe case of vertigo. It was a very miserable week. I can't believe I was actually driving. Maybe the snow just looked like it was going sideways. I suffered 2 more 1 week bouts of that over the next 3 months till I got it cleared up.

    Rocks, Drive carefully . Watch out for the moose, meese or any plural you wish to use. I am still curious about the HO and will be waiting to see its next occurrence and the effect if any.
