Stock Market Tumbles; Cruise Ship Vanishings; Gop Debate; & Space Junk

23 September 2011


The Sky Is Falling Today
Upper Atmosphere

Today is the day to keep your heads down and your eyes wide open !

Some hefty pieces of Made In The USA space junk just might be coming "home".

To screwily twist and paraphrase a famous Shakespearean line:

"We shot some space junk in the air... where It lands, we know not where !"

--------------------------------------------------

Vanishing Cruise Ship Passengers
United Kingdom

Now this is weird... at least 165 people have vanished from luxury cruise ships worldwide... during the cruises... since 1995 !

Granted, that is only about 11 people per year... but, HEY... that's 11 people every year!!!

The report gives no answers... only speculations about falling overboard accidents, or maybe suicidal acts, or maybe even foul play as bad as pushing someone overboard.

They just don't know... still BIG unsolved mysteries !

I've been on several cruises over the years... (my favorite was the 2-week Disney Mediterranean trip)... and I can tell ya...

from now on, I'm carrying a life jacket with me at all times wherever I go on a cruise!

U.S. Stocks Tumble... Again !
Wall Street, NYC, USA

Here we go again !

The stock markets are getting slapped around again... in the U.S. and worldwide !

Can't us poor, regular slobs... who are small time investors in stocks... EVER catch a break ???

Down another 391 points yesterday !!!

Most countries around the world revolve around what happens in the U.S. economy... and it ain't pretty at all !

President Obama needs to get on the ball... (NO... NOT the golf ball)... and get some workable job-creating programs going in America.

He needs to stop playing golf...
stop playing at being President...
and quit pushing his job-killing "agendas" !

Get us some American jobs, Mr. President !!!

--------------------------------------------------


GOP Debate In Florida
Orlando

Well, verbal punches were thrown all night.

With Governor Perry and former Governor Romney taking most of the air time...

all the candidates were slugging it out and trying to throw verbal mud on each other in "sound bite" chunks.

I don't care what they say or said or are gonna say...

they just need to get somebody solid who will soundly DEFEAT OBAMA and his wayward, haphazard policies in 2012 !!!

12 OCT 2008... Felons, Voter Fraud, Prostitutes, Obama, McCain, Palin, Economy, Stocks, Hookers, Global Warming, Earn Money with Web Ads, Abortion,

Prostitution Has Not Suffered Drop-off Despite Economic Downturn!
12 OCT 2008, (NY Daily News)

Hmmm...
I guess some guys are just budgeting their "entertainment" expenses a little better in New York lately! They've apparently got their priorities in order.

Maybe the world's oldest profession is doing a "service" for the country by relaxing the panicky investors and relieving tensions (certain ones, that is) on Wall Street.

It's at least good to hear that American workers somewhere are doing a brisk business and keeping busy... even without a big government bailout.

Don't talk too loud about this, though...
the government might hear you and want to buy into this "business" too!

(Come to think of it... there's not much overhead and there usually IS a profit... that would sure be a different story for our U.S. Government)

McCain Letter Demanded 2006 Action On Fannie And Freddie.
12 OCT 2008, (HumanEvents.com)

Finally... there is something in writing that shows the Senate Republicans were worried and warning colleagues about the Fannie Mae/Freddie Mac bad possibilities TWO YEARS ago!

Now, how is Sen. McCain going to get this point across to the American public in the next 3 weeks? I don't think he can count on the big media or his fellow senators to help him.

AND he needs to start getting angrier ...and ANGRIER ...about this during this week's Presidential debate!

During the next debate, Sen. McCain needs to bring up this letter (that was signed by only Republicans) and flat out confront Sen. Obama by asking him why he personally, and none of his Democrat buddies, would not agree to sign this warning letter.

Start putting Sen. Obama on the back-peddling, excuse-making, white-washing defensive for a change! Start naming names and tell how you, as President, would investigate, pursue, and prosecute those individuals found guilty of running this economy into the gutter for the sake of their own greedy, money-grubbing profit.

Get MAD ...and put Obama on the defense!!!

Put this huge "economic monkey" on the backs of the Democrats... right where the majority of the blame really belongs!

Boise Gets Earliest Snow On Record.
12 OCT 2008, (IdahoStatesman.com)

Gosh, I guess we won't hear much about this from the Global Warming crowd.

The earliest recorded snowfall in Boise, Idaho since 1898... when they began keeping records!
Not just a dusting either... at least 1.7 inches of heavy wet snow with 25-40 mph winds to boot!

This kinda goes along with the premature 14 inches of snow the mountains near Denver got a few days ago.

Sounds more like Global "Cooling" to me... but, then again, I'm no Global Warming "scientist".
==================================================

Palin Criticizes Obama On Abortion At PA Rally.

12 OCT 2008, (My Way News)

Gov. Sarah Palin kept up the pressure on Sen. Obama yesterday at a Pennsylvania rally.

Using straight talk, she pointed out that a vote for Obama is a vote for activist courts... and she said Sen. Obama's ideas and votes favoring abortion are "radical".

There is a lot at stake here. It was simply "Right-To-Life" versus "Pro-Choice".

Now, which way do you think the fetus... (the unborn human baby, that is)... would vote if he/she were only given the chance to continue growing up?

Go, Go Governor Palin...
keep hammering on the stark, moral differences between the campaigns!

Many Convicted Felons Remain On Voter Rolls.
12 OCT 2008, (SunSentinel.com)

Just great... the swing-state of Florida still has 30,000+ convicted felons on their voter rolls!

These folks should have been barred from voting and yet, due to bureaucratic backlogs (and/or bumbling), ...they may have a chance to greatly swing Florida to the Democrats in November.

The felons tend to vote (illegally) or are registered to vote at a 2-to-1 Democrats over Republicans percentage.

Between this oversight and the enmasse voter registrations recently dumped on Florida (and many other states) by the ACORN Group...
we are facing big possibilities of political voter-fraud lawsuits before and after the election.

What a fine mess "we" have gotten ourselves into... with no way out in sight!

Markets Routed In Global Selloff !
6 OCT 2008, (FT.com/Financial Times)

Ka-Wham !!!
Ouch, my portfolio just took a body blow today of over $2,500 down... at least it's only on paper so far. It's down too much for me to sell out now. I'm like almost everybody else and will just have to dollar-cost-average my future stock buy-ins and wait it out till prices creep back up.

The whole world's markets are taking a strong hit in the nose with this "bailout" uncertainty and fallout.

What a "great" job our U.S. Congress has done these past few years watching & helping all those predatory lender companies and unqualified mortgage recipients get giant loans they had no ability (and maybe no intention) to pay back.

Bravo, Congressmen, Bravo!
I'll be sure to vote you guys back in office come next election... NOT !!!

Obama Youth - Junior Fraternity Regiment
6 OCT 2008, (You Tube)

Look out... the Obama Youth Junior Fraternity Regiment is coming our way! This is only a group of 10 Black teenage boys in a Kansas City public school, afterschool program... but... how many more of these little "groups" are out there in inner cities across the U.S. swearing an oath of allegience to their mentor and leader Sen. Barack Obama?

It might initially be seen as a group of minority youth espousing their admiration for their larger-than-life inspiration (Sen. Obama)... but... the "uniforms" of battle dress army camouflage pants, black t-shirts and combat boots are quite disturbing. Their fists-clenched together "salute" as they give their individual "because of Obama" chants is not a German "Sieg Heil", but it also isn't a mild Boy Scout hand salute either.

Is this just a community organizer-type event or the growing seeds of minority groups in lockstep, who have sworn allegience to one great inspirational "leader"? Where is the teacher or local organizer responsible for the "guidance" or teachings of these teenagers?

I know it is a far cry and big leap from the 1930's Germany (the Brown Shirt youth), 1940's Russia (Stalin's KGB), or even 1960's Cuba (Fidel and his boys)... but... innocent groups sometimes get blinded and misled and before you know it there are small groups like the Black Panthers, Weathermen Underground, Hell's Angels or Simbianese Liberation Army.

I'm NOT saying in any way, shape, or form that this is a sprouting radical group, but... Don't ever say it just can't happen here to us in our good old U.S. of A.

Similar to what the kids chant in the video "Yes It Can!"
=================================================
Pit Bull !
6 OCT 2008, (My Way News/Drudge Report)

Wow, Gov. Palin has sunk her 'pit bull" teeth in and is not letting up! She is putting the bite on the Sen. Obama campaign by getting the topics of William "bomber" Ayers and Rev. Jeremiah Wright out in the open where they ought to be. These shady associations need further discussion and the broad American public deserves to be informed of Sen. Obama's mentors.

These continued, weekend accusations heated up the campaign rhetoric Monday and now Obama's camp is dropping threats out there that if McCain doesn't call off his "attack dog" (Gov. Palin) he (Obama) will bring up the Keating 5 scandal from McCain's past.

This should make for a bare-knuckle discussion at tomorrow night's Presidential debate... it just depends how the topics are broached and who gets the first (and most memorable) right-cross in there to his opponent.

No light jabs will do for tomorrow night... some knock down blows are called for and need to be delivered whenever an opening is given! No more pussy-footing around the "sensitive" subjects... just Go Get Him! This could finally get interesting.

Al-Quaida: U.S. Economic Crisis Equals Muslim Victory
6 OCT 2008, (Yahoo News)

Sickening ! An American-born guy turned Al Quaida member is trying to claim our U.S. economic crisis is because they have bled us infidels too much in Iraq and Afghanistan... Bullcrap! Our own Congressmen are the ones financially bleeding us over here.

As for the former American (now Al Quaida) traitor, he can go take a flying leap off a big cliff... maybe with a little helpful American nudge to get him going.

I just watched today the History Channel broadcast of "102 Minutes That Changed America". Disgusting, depressing, and especially infuriating!

I would recommend that this film... graphic as it is... be watched at least twice a year by every patriotic American.

There would be no further questions about supporting our troops, or why we are over there and why these crazy, cowardly, Al Quaida zealots need to be fought in every location around the world in which they hide.
