Philly

A town whose symbol is cracked, whose QB is an ex-con and a sadist, a population where 25% is close to the poverty line, and whose idea of Haute Cuisine is Cheez Whiz based. Let freedom ring.

But what a starting rotation!

Weak dollar

A weak dollar helps our goods compete overseas. We are doing great, huh.
It increases gas prices, so that the federal government can come off as
all concerned. Perhaps for the welfare of the energy traders,who can
barely afford their exotic car collections. So let us keep the dollar
low and then push through Cap and Trade, the coming mind blowing scam
to save the world and benefit the exotic car collections of the traders
of that. In the meantime, lets make it impossible for the poor to fill
up their economy cars and ratty old pickups and pretty thoroughly
destroy the rural lifestyle. When everyone has moved into the cities,
people with exotic car collections will finally be able to really enjoy
them, out on the very open road.

Christmas spending

Spending this holiday season seems to be up about 5% over last season. Those with jobs seem to feel better about their future and are willing to spend. Good for them.

Unemployment benefits have been extended for those who have lost their jobs. I am all for that. It's just that many of these jobs probably aren't coming back. 30 or more years ago, Playtex had a factory in Princeton W.V.. It closed in a cost cutting move.Those jobs weren't coming back. Global businesses move production all the time. They don't need the United States to produce goods. Food yes, and corporate farming needs less people to do that every year. Soon, unemployed because one is overqualified will be not a reality, but only a conceit.

Global piracy

As the Irish t-shirts said, 'The IMF took me shirt'. Greece and others could well wear the same shirts. After agreeing to severe cuts in spending, trying to recover from what their banks helped foster, their bond ratings are downgraded to junk status. Maybe it's fair, but maybe it has just been brought about. By globalists, of monetary and other ilks.

When globalists run a nation, ruination is not unlikely to follow. When done with intention, such leadership is treason.

Florida wetlands

You can't see the yellow flies.

Good Bye Urban

Urban Meyer has given Gator Nation 2 national titles in his stay in Gainesville. We wish him the best. But if that's what it takes to get rid of Steve Adazzio, the fans are way ahead on the deal.

Ireland and the I.M.F.ers

The I.M.F.  will now help decide Ireland's fiscal fate. After playing in the world economy, and making their bankers happy, they are under the sway of World Bank. The true extent has yet to be outlined , but self-determinism and learning from mistakes can safely be ruled out. Even ex I.M.F.ers agree that is probably not a good thing. It is not truly a global system yet, but Spain and Portugal are next on the hit list. Can the U.S. be far behind. It is amusing that Britain, which is not directly tied to the euro, shall have to help their old buddies out. Since European nations are obligated to crushing bailouts if everything goes south, just who will own everything that is left.
