of mine so directly pointed out, our buddies on wall st are now fighting Congress (you know, the opposite of progress?) to prevent legislation barring speculation and trading on foreign exchanges. These people have the gall to state that speculation is not the reason for oil and gas prices going through the roof. As I've stated before, supply and ( Read more... )

about the Flood of 1993. I lived in Saint Louis at the time, had never lived anywhere else, and didn't even own a computer. I remember that the water got so high as to go three- quarters of the way up the steps of the Arch. (I know, I was there for Fourth of July weekend watching fireworks.) All 93 counties in Iowa flooded that year, but nearly not ( Read more... )

and this could just be alarmist. I was reading a story about gas theft, and people are getting more brazen with their theft. These people aren't just siphoning gas, they're robbing gas tankers and drilling holes in gas tanks of people's cars to get gas. (Which means the gas tank is now unusable. How fun is that ( Read more... )

or something.... I gave up writing a while ago, but I think I'm going to start again. I've been contemplating a tale of the apocalypse... (and no, it isn't revelation...) I won't go into too many details, but the storyline happens after it.... The tale itself is based on prophecy as written by the egyptians, celts, mayans and chinese. (And yes, ( Read more... )

I was thinking, as I always do about something, about the economy today, and I was thinking about the question that is the most important for our next president that will not be asked, or even addressed... Here it is... What would you do as president to rectify our currency's decline versus the rest of the world's currencies? (Our monetary policy ( Read more... )

my roommate is a retard. there's a guy who calls our house 20-30 times a day. this guy, i'll call him Juan, is a piece of shit. I had finally convinced my roommate to change her phone number and be rid of this retard, but instead of waiting for the home number change to go through, she calls verizon and cancels the phone number change because she ( Read more... )

No, not really, but... Wait, politics suck, too... there are rumors flying that obama and clinton fundraisers are talking about joining forces... I would laugh my ass off if obama got her fundraisers and gave her the finger when it came to the vp nomination (a likelihood given how much they 'love' each other...) Anywho, that's really all I have to ( Read more... )
