U.S. Senate’s Strategy in Infamy

On Thursday, October 6th, the U.S. Senate moved one step closer toward sending the Currency Exchange Rate Reform Act to the House for its consent. This legislation has quickly and silently made its way through the approval process with nary a token objection or open discourse as to its merits or more importantly, its dangers.

Debt Ceiling Limit: The Cover Story

At the moment, media coverage of the proposed Debt Ceiling Limit increase has taken back stage to the events in Egypt, Obama apparently kicking his smoking-habit and various other mindless up-to-the-minute news snippets. For this reason, I suspended further commentary on the subject until the subject reemerged. Well, at least until today!

The Hu Doctrine

The passage of time will need to record a far greater measure of future events to ultimately determine the durability of China’s standing amongst the nations of the world; though the current regime has only been in place since the late 1940’s, the maturation process of the Chinese culture can be traced back well before 7000 BC.

Missiles of Miss-Direction

I’m not prone to comment on these types of day-to-day events, they come at a seemingly increasing rate that in the processes attributed to overwhelming the senses of reason, these types of news stories have become a pandemic threat. Still, I just couldn’t pass this one up, I had to express my frustration with what has become the government-approved explanation, primarily for its absurdity:  “It was from the contrails of a commercial aircraft.”  Oh dear god! A statement this benign can only be intentional!

A Day at the Market

5/7/09

It was an interesting day in the Financial Markets! I’ve received a few interesting phone calls and emails in response to a few commentaries I made the other day.  It was one of my first ever call in radio events and I was a bit nervous,  once I forgot what I was doing,  I seemed to settle down and resolve to a measured degree of coherence.  I hope.
