No Comments...???


(*SHRUG*)

I understand.

Hey... as I've made clear... I can barely stand to post - and this is my blog!

I mean... what's there to say? The politicians - with plenty of "help" from both the corporatists and the unionists - have turned this nation into a pale shadow of its former self. Think "Atlas Shrugged Meets 1984."

(*SHRUG*)


What... too pessimistic?

(*SNORT*)

I don't see any counterpoints to my various observations nor viable rebuttals to my predictions of greater agonies to come.

(*SHRUG*)

The Dow was up a bit earlier this morning; as I write it has now reversed course... moved into negative territory. Whether by the closing bell today it finishes up or down, the reality is that intelligent, rational, reasonable individuals understand there's no reason why the market should go up... so if it does... the upward tick symbolized nothing more than insider gamesmanship and the speculation of financial market as casino.

Barak Obama is President. He's President today... he'll be president tomorrow. If I had to bet I'd bet that he'll be President through 2016. Even as he "Carterizes" the American economy over the next few years enough of the mob will refuse to stare reality in the face so that chances are... with the mainstream media behind him and no Ronald Reagan to oppose him... Obama will be re-elected for a second failed term in 2012.

Will Charlie Rangel end up in jail one day? Perhaps. For now though... he remains Chairman of the House Ways and Means Committee.

Chris Dodd and Barney Franks? Yep. Still two of the most powerful men in Washington. Chances are they'll remain so for the foreseeable future.

(*SHRUG*)

That incompetent tax cheat Geithner? He's Treasury Secretary today... he'll be Treasury Secretary tomorrow. God only knows how long Obama will stick with him. And when he goes... there's nothing to stop Obama from replacing him with someone even more incompetent.

Bernanke? Let's not even get into it. Reid... Pelosi... best case scenario they've only got two years to dismantle capitalism and traditional American ideals.

(*SHRUG*)

So, yeah, folks... I get it... no comments necessary.

(*SIGH*)

Atlas Shrugged is one dimensional in the sense that the message is the goal of the story.

If I were to re-write Rand's masterpiece it would end up going from over a thousand pages to maybe a few hundred, since I would have had the Galtites (*WINK*) use all their skills and resources to overthrow the looters early on before they had truly established power.
