More on "Life".

Well after much thought I am close to a life altering decision. I have felt for sometime that I want to do more and should do more to make a better world, even if it is just simply the world nearest me and those I love. I plan to give tremendous weight to the responses I receive from everyone who shares their thoughts on this matter (As long as I know who you are that is). I will soon begin a journey into politics, let me know what you think.

Life

Well classes are finished for the summer, took two classes. Made an A and a B so I am pleased. Now I shall spend the next month or so planning/thinking for graduation next June and what comes after that. Along those lines I sit and wonder if at my age am I kidding myself? So what, I will have a college degree a BA. Is that such a big deal in the current world in which we live? I feel like I have been in school so long I can't imagine what comes next, seems funny at my age. More to come on this matter.

WOW the results are coming in.

Damn I must be an economist. The following is more on the sad state of affairs on Wall Street. Notice how nobody seems to ask who the criminals are yet. By TIM PARADIS, AP Business Writer 12 minutes ago NEW YORK - Wall Street turned higher Wednesday as another drop in oil prices helped offset concerns about a jump in inflation last month. The Dow Jones industrial average rose more than 150 points. Stocks drew support from oil prices that pulled back for a second straight day on concerns that a slowing economy will curtail demand for fuel. Light, sweet crude fell $4.09 to $134.65 on the New York Mercantile Exchange, compounding a drop of $6.44 on Tuesday..... Investors also remain worried about the economy and specifically the financial sector. This week has brought fresh attention to potential trouble spots in the mortgage market. Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, the government-chartered mortgage financiers, remain a concern, as do regional banks that could have bad mortgage debt on their b

President Bush is correct.

Yeah I said it...GW has either started or has stopped listening to someone about the economy. He actually has made a few true statements. i just wonder if it is too little too late. ...He also called on the Democratic-run Congress to follow his example and lift a ban on offshore drilling to help increase domestic oil production. "I readily concede it won't produce a barrel of oil tomorrow, but it will reverse the psychology," Bush told a White House news conference — his first since late April. Bush said the two troubled mortgage companies play a central role in the nation's housing-finance system and that government action to help them were not bailouts because the two would remain shareholder-owned companies. "I don't think the government ought to be involved in bailing out companies," Bush said. The administration and the Federal Reserve announced an emergency rescue plan Sunday to bolster Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, which hold or guarantee more than

Enough is enough.

Can someone explain to me how an entire population of consumers can be so easily and totally duped. EVERYDAY WE ARE GIVEN THE EXCUSES FOR THE PRICE OF FUELS yet nobody questions the sources for this bullshit, nor do they question those who transmit said BS. The following is more BS By George Jahn, Associated Press Writer , which I will follow with my thoughts (BS?). Light sweet crude for August delivery was up 50 cents at $145.68 a barrel by afternoon in Europe in electronic trading on the New York Mercantile Exchange. Earlier, oil had traded above $146 a barrel. The contract rose 10 cents in Monday's floor session to close at $145.18 a barrel, just over a dime short of the all-time settlement high. It has traded as high as $147.27 a barrel, a record set last week. Threats to supply in Brazil, Iran and Nigeria have been keeping oil near the record levels hit last week. A five-day strike by Brazilian oil workers that began early Monday has cut the production of Petroleo Brasileiro

Miss Who Cares

News Flash!!!!! Miss USA tripped and fell on stage during the Miss Universe pageant. This happened while performing the highly difficult task of.....WALKING. She should have won as it is the most interesting thing any of the contestants did that night (Well during the show). Side note, you would think at this point world peace and hunger issues would be resolved.

Kiss my Ass

Well here is more proof the most populace state in the US should become its own country. On Saturday 12 July, some 8,000 people gathered in San Juan Capistrano, CA to "Moon" Amtrak trains as the passed. I relate this to be as useful as the "Running of the Bulls" in Spain. I think this yearly event (Moon over Amtrak) started the year after everyone (Or at least 8,000 of them) became really stupid in California.
