Martin Luther King, Jr.'s daughter made a speech recently in conjunction with the erection of that "Made in China" statue of her father in DC. In it, she claims that Abe Lincoln signed the Declaration of Independence.
What can you say to such . . . ?

IRENE
The way the media is talking you'd think that Hurricane Irene was a Cat 5 instead of barely a 2. In fact, when she gets as far north as New York City and Massachusetts, she likely will have been downgraded to a tropical storm. Yet you'd think it was the end of the world.
If she was bearing down on Biloxi, Mobile, or Pensacola, then there might be a mention on the news channels and some decent coverage on The Weather Channel (where every weather "event" beyond a summer thundershower is cause for panic). But now that Irene is headed for the northeastern corridor it is a potential national disaster in the making. Is there anywhere up there that hasn't been evacuated already (before the first raindrop has fallen)? I suppose that tells you a lot about how the mainstream media see the north versus the South. One place important, the other not so much.
One thing I never want to hear again is smug Yankees laughing at Southerners trying to deal with a snowstorm. Natural disasters cut both ways, bitches . . .

ONE BAD POLICY DECISION . . .
The economic meltdown in the US (and hence the world) is only one bad policy decision away. Don't get caught holding too much fiat money.
Buy gold and silver . . . and take physical delivery.
I suggest contacting Franklin Sanders at moneychanger@wildblue.net. He is trustworthy and has been in the business for many years.
Oh, this weekend offers many opportunities for someone to make that "bad policy decision."

A LITTLE "NATURAL DISASTER" HUMOR ON AN OTHERWISE BORING DAY
The US government, through its Department of Homeland Security, has deemed the 6.0 earthquake that shook the financial-political corridor (otherwise known as the Axis of Evil) from Washington, DC, to New York City as a "domestic terrorist."
A spokesman from DHS said: "The very fact that this natural disaster would choose to strike at the very heart of America, from the Pentagon to Wall Street, shows its intent to disrupt the business of America, which as we all know is as necessary as the air we breathe if the earth is to be kept spinning properly on its axis. This act of domestic terror will not succeed, despite all the shaking. Rather, it will cause the American people, once they're clearer to return to their workplaces, to stand firmly together. We recommend that all Americans get out immediately and show their patriotism by buying something on a credit card or by opening a checking account at Bank of America."
We also learned that Congress is contemplating an updated version of the USA Patriot Act that would outlaw unauthorized geological events and those who summon them through what a spokesman called "imprecatory prayer." (Yes, go ahead and blame it on "the Christians.")
On a related note, Hurricane Irene is headed north toward the mouth of the Potomac and likely will make landfall before the weekend.

Could this be the day (or week) that Bank of America goes under? Its CDS is being hammered thus far today. Perhaps the market is determined to force the banking system to deal with reality instead of the alternate "reality" of "cooked books" that has been the recent stock-in-trade of the Bernankes and Geithners of the world.
An admission that Bank of America (which has the most deposits of any US bank) is indeed insolvent would be a very big and severe event.

JUST ANOTHER NAIL IN THE ESTABLISHMENT'S COFFIN
Between 2007 and 2010, the US Fed gave away in secret some $1.2 trillion in public monies to their bankster friends, some of them foreign.
We, my friends, have been duped. And we will continue to be duped as long as these criminals and their cronies in the DC political arena are free to continue doing "business as usual." When will justice be done? And who will make sure it's done in a timely manner?
If real justice is not meted out to these criminals, then perhaps there will be a revolution in America. And I'm talking about one where the old, corrupt order is completely destroyed and replaced by one based truly on the consent of the governed. That's how our Founders intended this polity to work.
But from a personal standpoint, I'd perfer that the States simply secede and leave DC, Wall Street, and their sorry allies with no one to abuse but themselves. It can be done if we can only summon the will. We surely have the ways and means.
