WHAT! Bernanke, Man of the year?

Time announced that Ben is the person of the year for averting a financial catastrophe. I feel that Ben is the problem with the economy. Why not have the Fed audited? We are in a false bull market with no solid underling fundamentals. The value of the dollar is falling and the gold bulls are on fire. I'm curious Ben. What will you do when commercial real estate collapses in 2010 and a second round of residential mortgage foreclosures occurs. Write a check and let the taxpayer pay the bill.
Make no mistake we are in for a world of hurt and Ben Bernanke is part of the problem not the solution.

BROKEN XBOX 360? Who You Gonna Call?

Having your XBOX break down is frustrating, especially for the second time and when it is out of warranty. Most gamers will do an internet search to see how to fix their broken, but beware there is a heap of bad advice out there. So what do you do? If your unit is under warranty send it to Microsoft and they will fix it free. This generally takes about 3-6 weeks. Or if the 360 is not under warranty or you don't want to make microsoft richer there is a guy in Mid-Missouri who fixes them cheap and quick. Jeffrey Painter (aes.recovery@yahoo.com) He used to work for MS and knows his stuff. He drove 30 miles, picked up my Xbox, replaced the sister board and interior wiring harness, cleaned the dust and crap out and re did some solder joints, and brought it back in two days for $120. Now I can waste more time on line. Thanks Jeff.

Here is why the New TV shows are CRAP!

James Hibberd asks "Summer of fail: Why are new shows bombing?"
Well I'll tell ya. They are reality based programs and people are getting tired of watching such drivel. If the networks don't want to spend money for decent programs then you get CRAP or reality programs, take your pick. Their ratings are dropping like Obama's poll numbers and now they think they can improve they ratings share by using a new program.

Top US media companies and marketers have created a consortium to challenge the dominant force in TV audience measurement.Nielsen controls the measurement of US audiences through the polling of 18,000 homes, where viewer habits are measured by clicks of a special remote control.

Youtube can also be blamed for dumbing down of American television. Why wait for a crappy show to come on when a click of a mouse brings up better crap. One other thought, Maybe people are fed up with the "Drive By" media's Left wing radical political views and are showing their displeasure.

Clair McCaskill runs and hides

Clair McCaskill was to have a town hall meeting this Tuesday in Jefferson County but decided to cancel.

The school district sent a news release stating that the “reasons for the cancellation by the school district are due to concerns for the safety and security of its staff, community members attending the event, and for the students who would be on campus during that time.”

There should be concern for safety. The White house wants Obama supporters to punch back twice as hard. Obama has sent his thugs out to squash any opposition to his socialist agenda. WATCH VIDEO OF BEATING OF A BLACK CONSERVATIVE

Ask Clair when she plans to reschedule.

It is now or never . We are losing our freedom and I am sick and tired of it.

California tax officials have lost their mind!

California tax officials say a state proposal to tax and regulate marijuana like alcohol would generate nearly $1.4 billion in revenue. Marijuana retail sales would bring $990 million from a $50-per-ounce fee and $392 million in sales taxes.

Well that's just brilliant! We all know how well California has been run into the ground by greedy politicians with absolutely no economic sense, why should this be any different. Besides the fact that weed would still be grown illegally and in larger quantities, now you have an entire state full of under achieving pot heads financing the forthcoming I.O.U.s
We would have to start giving free snacks with each pot purchase so they could continue to smoke without interruption to generate even more revenue. Oh and how is that going to work out down the road when the same lawmakers claim "Smoking Marijuana causes cancer" canceling the very program they think is a good idea.
Watch the mass exodus from California coming soon to a theater near you.

Using Epoxy to Protect the Garage Floor










After twenty plus years of using epoxy to waterproof foundation cracks in Columbia Mo., I have found that epoxy is wonderful for protecting concrete including garage floors, patios, sidewalks etc. It really should not have come as a surprise to me as I know the qualities of epoxy. There are several brands to choose from: Rust Oleum, Valspar, Krylon, Behr, Quikrete...I won't make a recommendation as to which brand is best, but will strongly recommend preparing the surface properly. (in other words, follow the directions). Some of the advantages of using epoxy coatings is it will improve the appearance by giving the floor a uniform color and completely hiding small cracks. It makes future cleaning easier. It also helps to act as a vapor barrier if condensation is a problem. It adds value to your home.

India Inroduces new "COW PEE" soft drink


India's Hindu nationalist movement is launching a new soft drink made from cow urine. "mmmm"

The drink is the latest attempt by the RSS to cleanse India of foreign influence and promote its ideology of Hindutva.

I got to tell ya, from a marketing angle I don't see this going over so well. The reason Coke and Pepsi do so well all over the world is because of good marketing and THEIR SOFT DRINKS ARE NOT MADE FROM COW PEE! But hey what do I know-got to go, time to get back to my delicious snack of pickled pig's feet.
