“But Jimmy has fancy plans, and pants to match.”

I said it once. I have to say it again: Our nation is poorer with George W Bush as president. He comes on TV and admits it. The state of the economy is ill. He says its been feeling this way for years. But a quick booster shot of money will fix it?

Didn’t he say this back in March 2003 to Iraq? It’s time to call his bluff. Why should we believe a word he’s saying. Your telling me the best and brightest in the corporate world can’t figure out a way to get their ass out of this mess? How’d they get us into this mess?

Our nation will be poorer still with a Republican as the next president.

The Big Bailout is only helping those who caused the problem, and it’s going to be supervised by the same people who for the last year have been saying the financial crisis has been contained, in other words, the same people who don’t know jack.

Thanks, Republicans. The political party that preaches fiscal responsibility is the most fiscallyist responsible! The FUCK they are! They also have been scaring the populous about the “Dems going to raise taxes.” Under whose watch again did this massive spending come from? Who’s going to pay? How are we going to pay? TAXES! Makes you wonder if this isn’t some plot by the Republicans to hobble the government with debt then point out that the government can’t run properly. That’s just plain incompetence on that political party. They have no right to even run for dog catcher.

If only you can also get a helping hand from the government. Let’s dump our bad investments on the people. You have that Milli Vanilli CD? Get the government to pay you for it. The best part is they will gladly pay top dollar for it. It’s worth hundreds!!!

Hiking the Dug Trail
Originally uploaded by browsermetrics.
This past weekend was spent in the woods, literally and figuratively. We were in West Virginia at a resort called, The Woods, which is in the woods. We spent time hiking and site seeing. Hiking on this short hike up the side of a rather tall hill. I think it was 600 vertical feet up. Since I stopped biking in August, that was the most exercise done in a while.

Anyway, more pictures on my flickr account. Soon, I will be posting my ghost hunting photos from Harper’s Ferry. 🙂

Link of the Day [9.23.08]It's getting to be that time again. Perhaps, a new blogger template?
Or maybe a move to a real domain and my own garden in the intrawebs.
Anyway, there are some cool color palettes from a Van Gogh painting to
choose. If you don't like 'em, there's more at the main site.
Obviously, I want something in a darker theme, perhaps, "Starry Night."http://www.colourlovers.com/blog/2008/09/20/van-gogh-and-the-colors-of-t

Link of the Day [9.22.08]The Big Bailout is coming, and it will only help the Masters of the
Universe who got us into this mess. I keep hearing from people that
Barack Obama is going to raise our taxes. With this shit happening, our
taxes are going to be raised just to fund the retirement of the Masters
of the Universe. They play around and get hurt, and now they come
crying to the government for help. And we'll let them. Isn't it about
time that those who believe in the free market to let the free market
work? Shit happens. Too bad. Get a job.Anyway, if you're as angry at this predicament, remember this is all
part and parcel of the way Republicans run our nation. They don't take
any responsibility in the mess they make. They want the working man to
clean up after them, but don't want to help the working man themselves.
Vote Obama. Also, contact your Congressman and Senator and express your dismay at
the Big Bailout and the lack of oversight going into it. The last time
the administration said it must act fast, we got the war in Iraq.
Sometime's we have to step back and wonder, "WTF."http://globaleconomicanalysis.blogspot.com/2008/09/lies-from-paulson-kee

You would think a blog titled, “Lawyers, Guns and Money,” would talk about plenty of other things except naval battleships. You would be wrong. Robert Farley, while also an excellent political blogger, done a series of posts on battleships of various navies of the world. He wrote good historical information into those posts. He compares various navies use of the battleship, he writes of the glory days of the battleship, and he got me interested in building little scale models of the Imperial Japanese Navy.

I have the Yamato waiting to be built. I just need some paint.
