So, apparently the federal government is regulating Credit Card businesses more strictly. We used to get 30 days between our cycle date and our payment due date, now we get 25 days as mandated by the federal government. Thank you, Obama, oh and thanks for making my payment late, because I didn’t notice the [...]
Today I heard about the report being released regarding the decisions made to use certain types of interrogation techniques by the justice department and other senior civilian officials in the U.S. Government.
I have a question: How did the justice department determine that water-boarding was not torture?
The media simply tells us that they made a recommendation [...]
Yesterday I had a trivia question about Fort Knox. We all thought it was in Tennessee, turns out it’s in Kentucky. Anyway we went to wikipedia to check it out. According to wikipedia there is about 4603 tonnes of gold stored at Fort Knox, but it isn’t the largest reserve of gold [...]
This morning on NPR I heard a piece of one of the Big 3 Auto Execs testimonies in front of congress. He told congress that they need 25 billion dollars because there was no way they could have predicted the current economic situation. While I agree with this statement, I would offer up the [...]
Voter turnout in New Mexico was 41% before election day ever made it here. I expect total turnout will be pretty high, but with that many people having already cast their ballots it only took me 15 minutes to vote this morning. If I had been in either of the other two precincts [...]

While, there are some exceptions most people with great wealth worked very hard to get it. [...]
Maybe I said this already but nobody really reads this blog anyway so I can repeat myself if it makes me feel better.
We have a debt driven economy and that is the fundamental problem with the economy. Years ago a business would save money for hard times, they would draw from their savings during [...]
Who is Theora, you ask? If you watched the debate last night she posed the Internet question 28 minutes into the debate. She asked, “What sacrifices will you ask every American to make?”
Ever since I watched “The War” on PBS, I have wondered this same thing. American’s supported the Second World War because [...]
It’s conference time for members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. Twice a year we sit down to listen to the prophet and apostles. At this evenings session the prophet, Thomas S. Monson, counseled as us as they often do to be prudent with our finances and to avoid excessive [...]
John McCain is supposed to be absolutely opposed to pork barrel spending and the addition of pet projects to bills. I would have expected him to vote against the Senate’s new 700 Billion dollar bail out plan with an additional 150 Billion in pork barrel spending, but did he? As president he has [...]
