who owns his mortgage
Man makes ridiculously complicated chart to find out who owns his mortgage - Yahoo! News
You do have to wonder how they got it some screwed up. The key problem at heart remains that certain members of congress, mostly of a certain party, set policy and directed Fannie and Freddie and banks of all kinds to approve loans that could never be paid back. From that one wrong-headed policy with the good intention of providing "ALL AMERICANS" with "home ownership" the trap was set that would eventually ruin home ownership for those they intended to help and millions more who were caught in the falling valuations. Therein lies the root cause for the international financial crisis. And you know what is funny? The primary people who pushed the policies that did this are NOW in power (at least the congress will change out in January). The perpetrators remain in charge of the SENATE and the Presidency. Now that is just so funny you have to nearly bust a gut thinking about it.

The Pink Ribbon Rant
The rant below comes from an oncology nurse so she sees this every day. I think I can see her point in that it is very common for "non profits" to become profitable tools of the "industries" they represent. It is of course common for the management of many "non-profits" to be paid exorbitant fees. Enough of me. I know this nurse. Read her rant:
"can't help myself, everytime I see pink I turn red thinking about the enormity of the deception perpetrated by the cancer industry...countless funding drives, donation events, people running swimming walking across cities, countries, continents...and for what...we already have the cures for every cancer imaginable ... problem is the cancer industry has become so huge they have succeeded in pressuring governments to make the cures unattainable through various underhanded ways...and with the enormous influence they have over the medical industry, they don't even allow a doctor to discuss any alternative cures except for there own radiation, surgery chemotherapy method...you see it is the method which pays them the highest amount through insurance companies (est. range from $400,000 to $800,000 per patient) and it guarantees them a return patient for life...sorry for the rant...I'll stop now because the red is turning purple...happens when you loose loved one to these corrupt bastards...of course you can be my friend... and the pink was the ribbon in the background of your profile pic..."

Poverty Hypementary
This is a much more accurate presentation of the poverty issue in America than any Democrat will ever own up to. Yes there are truly poor in America but nowhere near the government figure because of the huge subsidization of poverty. In one of the latest TARP redistribution schemes to put money in consumer hands (not in the tax payer hands) the influx of cash rapidly went to nail salons, expensive tennis shoes, and plasma tvs, jacking the consumer index up very high for a couple of months. The people who received the redistributed income did not invest in new jobs or spend on items that would create new jobs in America, and the money simply evaporated after the temporary spending spike. The money did not go for food or shelter or to help the truly poor.
READ the article in the link above. It helps to clarify the issue.

In 2001 and 2003, Congress enacted several tax cuts for investors, small business owners, and families. These will all expire on January 1, 2011.

- The 33% bracket rises to 36%
- The 35% bracket rises to 39.6%
* Higher taxes on marriage and family: The "marriage penalty" (narrower tax brackets for married couples) will return. The child tax credit will be cut in half. Other tax burdens for families will also kick in.
* The return of the death tax: The families of those dying on or after January 1, 2011 will face a 55 percent top death tax rate on estates over $1 million.

Obama Stole Election
It is a bit funny that the Democrats who supported Hillary are now up in arms about the stolen election. Actually, I think Hillary had the rug pulled out from her in the South Carolina primary when John Edwards took away her steam roller momentum. Obama was the benefactor of that. It is funny to me since only weeks later the whole Edwards scandal took HIM down, leaving Hillary devastated and Obama in complete control of the Democrat Primary. Now that Obama has managed to bumble and stumble and crumble with zero leadership into an agenda propped up by his empty suit and the destruction of America. - Even Republicans are wishing Hillary had taken the reins and won. Americans like to be LED ! Obama cannot lead although he pontificates well. Hillary - at least- would be LEADING us to destruction vs our stumbling to it.

"Where is the birth certificate?"
Nobody said he is not a citizen. Surely he is. There is some question about dual citizenship with US and Indonesia. There is also some question why 95 percent of all his personal records are locked from public view - which just simply begs the question as to why his "live birth" recognition from Hawaii is at odds with birth records in Kenya. This is NOT about US citizenship. It is about the constitutional requirement that the PRESIDENT of the UNITED STATES must be a NATURAL BORN citizen.

Relief Well Operations Overview
- 27 June 2010Impressive engineering and planning to kill that well. This is obviously post disaster and you can say a lot about errors up to the disaster, and containment efforts to date, but this bottom kill method is now much more clear to me - explaining how it works and WHY this is about the only real option to work as needed. And it probably will work.

Cap and Trade:
There are Soooo many issues with Cap and Trade. I cannot list them all. The final analysis is EVERYONE, poor and rich will be penalized for EVERYTHING they do or buy. In the end the poor will be subsidized to ease the burden. The so-called fund development to create "new energy sources" will never materialize because the funds will become merely another means to buy votes for Democrats.

Oops! Obama tells another nativity fib?
Oops!
Obama tells another nativity fib?
As yet no release of any transcripts from Harvard or Columbia or other schools. And it is believed by some that Obama's great great great grandparents on his Kenyan side were slave traders ( a major Muslim enterprise at the time) who sold their countrymen into slavery. The official history ALWAYS refers to the American "slave holding" white ancestors of Obama but NEVER makes note of the Kenyan ancestors.

TET Offensive - Anniversary
Anniversary of the TET Offensive of 1968. I was in my second year of college at the time. Our college orientation professor told us to "look to your right and left - those people will not be here next year, they will be in Vietnam (meaning the draft would get us since we were going to flunk anyway). Sort of turned out that way. By '69 a lot of guys were gone from campus. This kind of footage was on the news all the time. I was working for a retired Marine who had been in Vietnam only a couple of years before. The job as a photo assistant helped me pay my way through school. Eventually I served in the Navy as an officer on a frigate - firing some of the last rounds of the last American battles in Vietnam in early 1973.

It was the real thing from the first day of recruit training until retirement some 30 years later. It was filled with real Sailors, Chiefs and officers dedicated to fulfilling the Navy's only true mission -

Female Army Soldier - a book
Echos and Premonitions
Poetry (gag me now is my normal response) and Prose. In this case, I am most pleased to report that even those of us poetometopiaphobes who avoid the elite world of classic pentameter will be pleasantly touched by the works of Rachel Brune. And the book is not ALL poetry. Over half is well written and thought provoking prose that enlightens, entertains, and educates.I recommend it. One chapter in particular - I have recommended for professors of photojournalism.
Rachel is all ARMY now. "Pwned" by the cammies, you know. Her - photos - poems and prose - are introspective, sensitive and intelligent. Some of the grit in her prose is, I suspect, a direct result of her having "seen the elephant". She has the street cred to say what she says. It is worth hearing; worth reading. Worth an investment of your time. Echos and Premonitions
