My Vampire Weekend
Posted on 02. May, 2010 by Brad.
[ad]After my first taste of the band Vampire Weekend, I bloody well don’t need a second one. There is more angst in their music than any ten vintage grunge bands combined could have come up with. On top of that there sound is like an over produced 1950′s Bobby Darin record. What is the use [...]

Both Barack and Hillary are smart people, but there is a difference. Barack is too smart sometimes and thinks you are too. This works with me, his [...]

The Creature From Jekyll Island
Posted on 03. Jan, 2010 by Fred L Smith.
I’m reading a very interesting book called the “The Creature from Jekyll Island” subtitled “A second look at the Federal Reserve”. About one hundred pages in the book is very easy to understand and interesting to read. It begins with a brief overview of the events of an initial meeting at Jekyll Island by a group of men who represented at least one fourth of the world’s wealth including the Morgan monopoly and the Rothschild family.

This guy doesn’t need my help nor do I get any consideration for recommending this book. But this is a thoughtful straight forward view of how we can help the economy, create jobs, and retool America to get out of this economic slump while repairing the environment.

Posted on 03. Jan, 2010 by Don Robert.
