The Dems were already retreating on healthcare legislation Tuesday before the polls had even closed in New Jersey and New York.

No vote in the senate is expected this year.

Same for Crap N Tirade.

Is this good or bad for the dollar?

My own take is that this is bad for the buck. I've viewed healthcare and energy taxes as nothing more than thinly disguised revenue generators since they were first brought up.

As a real estate developer, I'll have to admit that business has been slow for the last year or so. But that's about to change.Due to the budget shortfalls in California, I've stumbled upon an outstanding investment opportunity.

Just north of San Francisco is a lovely wooded area known as the Muir Woods. It is truly spectacular and you should see it.  I'm going to turn part of it into a world class golf course and country club.

Muir Woods Country Club will offer golf, tennis and fine dining amongst the giant Redwoods and Sequoia.

The facilities will all be made of state of the art green technology and use only redwoods that are harvested on site. Preliminary engineering estimates that the entire, all redwood, 120,000 square foot clubhouse and 500 car parking garage can be built with timber that will be processed from the clearing of the front nine holes. The timber from the back nine and driving range areas will be sold to lumberyards and cover the cost of most of the construction costs of the club.

If you share my dream of world class golf amidst the grandeur of these giant trees, let me know and I'll forward a prospectus and club membership details.

In spite of my solid balance sheet, this is a rather large investment and banks have been tight as a clam so I need help .If any of you have any interest in this and can afford to invest at least $500,000, for a period of five years, let me know.
 

When asked during the question and answer section of a recent beauty contest what is most important to her, Miss Alabama replied "world peace".

Given that President Obama was only in office about three weeks when he was nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize back in February, and hasn't really done anything for world peace since then, I think that Miss Alabama could be a formidable competitor next year.

Granted, she hasn't made a slide show, like Al Gore, which gets you an automatic Nobel Peace Prize. But, I still like her chances since she was emphatic that "world peace" is a really big deal and, if achieved, would be so awesome. 

I can't remember her name, but, given her outstanding resume, my selection for the Nobel Peace Prize 2010 is Miss Alabama!
