It's an Evil Web We Weave Thing

Dear America,

played hooky yesterday -- went into recess, as some say; or, more like what many of you commonly call taking "a personal day."

My baby girl is out of town with her daddy this week, so it was a day for taking a little liberty with my liberty, if you know what I mean -- lounging around the house, only turning on my computer to check email (albeit late in the day -- while giving way to making a full disclosure here -- I shouldn't even have gone that far, what a tactical error on the day that was...oh well)... but let's see, what else...

...caught up with my man for a wee slice of the afternoon, painted flowers and squiggles and hearts and moons all over a piece of furniture that was just begging for a makeover, and made myself a vodka cocktail on the rocks with three olives as the sun went down.  It was a good day.


I let my mind escape from it's troubles for what amounts to something less than a fragment of my life, allowing the floodgates to open up to let the spirit flow and fly free anyway she wanted.  And I did.

But back in the real world, fresh eyed and rested, with a certain buzz lifting me out of what feels like months on the battlefield galactica, watching the ridiculousness of the debt ceiling debate and what came out of it -- it is back to vigilance.

There must be something wrong when both China and Russia join forces to tell us, America, that we screwed up.  That we must be more responsible with our debt.  That we can't keep going on like this.  These parallel universes, appearing like they are for us before they are against us, undoubtedly spell trouble.  Putin says that we "...are living like parasites off the global economy and [our] monopoly of the dollar."  For a crib notes version of China's view, watch this. [fyi: this commercial was produced by Citizens Against Government Waste.  It is now banned, deemed too controversial to show on TV]

But how 'bout that market today?  down 300 points with three hours to go...that's gotta hurt.

Once Obama comes back from his birthday parties and vacationing, he plans on beginning a bus tour -- to go out to talk to the American people about the economy and jobs.  The tour is set to begin August 15th, with the plan to span mostly the Midwest...ergo hitting up the swing state vote.  Don't you just dig this president's transparency as much as G?

When asked a few stellar questions backing Carney into a corner of his milky way, a CNS.com reporter asked him "is that a campaign event or a presidential event?"  To which Carney responded, "Negative.  That is an official event." And then, it just unraveled from there, and quoting the rest of that conversation:

CNSNews.com followed, “So it is being funded by taxpayers in battleground states?”

Carney responded, “He’s the president of the United States.”

Another reporter followed up about whether there was a political nature to the trip.

“The air of cynicism is quite thick,” Carney shot back. “The idea that the president of the United States should not venture forth into the country is ridiculous.”

The reporter said, “I didn’t say that.”

Carney said, “No, but you implied it in your question. It is absolutely important for the president – whoever that person is, in the past or in the future – to get out and hear from people in different communities."

Hey, you know who just recently came out and endorsed Obama? -- and thinking to myself that you will just love the full circle connection here -- is the communist party USA!   yea!  hip hip hooray!

"We are keenly aware of the fact that the agenda of the far right is to bring this administration and country to its knees, with a heavy dose of racism, lies and economic sabotage, setting the stage for a full blown return to power of the most reactionary, racist, anti-labor, anti-women, homophobic and militarist grouping in U.S. politics."

Sam Webb, Chairman of CommunistPartyUSA

Yikes!  He forgot to call us "right wing extremists" "terrorists"  -- like Joe Biden did.

Now if you ask me, it's that Webb guy who seems a wee bit 'reactionary' and high strung -- perhaps he needs to take a personal day?  And I am beginning to think there is distant family relation somewhere -- given the thin air of superiority and the propensity of aligning with just flat out lies, propaganda, and name calling to string his talking points along and bully opposition beliefs into submission -- the tactics and rhetoric are all too familiar within even my own family.  

But whatever, let us quickly moveon.org -- now if this American president is pleased by this endorsement for the second time around, that should tell us everything we need to know about the man. right?  How could he stand up and say thanks guys, knew I could count on you and be totally okay with it?  Is he getting his American rhetoric/talking points confused with his dreams from my father by chance?

SO his bus tour is just one big meet and greet, to calm the people down, to comfort them in the face of 9.2% unemployment, while glaring at a debt that is basically too high for all the tea in China, now sitting at 16.7 TRILLION dollars.  While Washington Establishment hasn't learned a thing.  Do you really believe we can solve a debt crisis with more debt?   It's an absurd notion.

Over the last ten years, federal spending has ballooned 46%; government is growing 3.5% faster than our ability to sustain it.  The federal reserve is simply planning on printing more money -- when they do -- we, the people, sustain immediate financial hardship, having the value of the dollar diminished right before our eyes.  and all of it is out of our hands.  Catch this short video on the Federal Reserve (just four minutes)

One more thing to cling to before the weightlessness of the political atmosphere pulls me out to Pluto, this was in the morning mail from The Daily Bell:

"We are going to pay for it with massive inflation. We're going to have to run the presses 24/7 to buy up all this additional debt, which is massive inflation, which is a tax on this generation..." Peter Schiff, being interviewed on Freedom Watch with Judge Andrew Napolitano

China and Russia are absolutely right about us -- Americans are being screwed over by the establishment in general, the Power Elite in particular, with both sides of the aisle guilty as charged.  They are laughing at us and can't wait for us to burst into 300 million pieces.

According to word on the street, the establishment may have to consider raising the ceiling right around the next elections; even Nancy Pelosi considers that raising the debt ceiling another 2.4 Trillion dollars is only good for a mere eighteen months -- and her numbers have never added up -- they are usually far worse -- it is just that we are left in the dark until we have had a chance to read the fine print in the light of day before we know any better.

Okay, so my links got out of hand today; consider it making up for my lost in space day of yesterday...or is that today?  do do dodo do do dodo

You know, the GOP promised the American people they would post new legislation for 72 hours before a vote so that the people could read it, and respond to their congressmen complete with all the intelligence and matter at hand.  We did not get that this time around, did we?  The "manufactured crisis" on the day was simply too great, the oncoming asteroid was about to hit us and set off "Armageddon,"  we were told. When push came to shove, there was simply no time to follow through with their word.  What a shame.

And now they are on recess.

typical.

Holy Crap.  The market is down 400. Leaving G leaving on a low point...atypical; consider it just something totally out of my control.

Make it a Good Day, G
