Is Bush Crazy?

I am not saying that the president is crazy, but congressman Dennis Kucinich is questioning the mental health of the president. We have a situation where more and more people believe that the policies of this adminstration are leading us to war with iran. A war that could become WWIII.

Congressman Kucinich questions Bush's mental health based on statements made by the president about Iran and the possibility of nuclear war and WWIII. This has deeply troubled me and I am sure that I'm not the only one.

Oil Soars to a New Record High


I predicted that we would pay at the pump and boy do we ever. The average gallon of gasoline is back over $3/gal and rising. I tell you this because it seems so long ago, back in Jan 2007, this year it was $1.87/gallon, yes under $2/gal for gas, but now we are paying over three.

Today I paid $3.19 per gallon to fill up my tank. It was terrible. It was nearly $40 whereas in the beginning of this year I could fill it for about twenty. The declining dollar is causing a surge in oil prices. Also a decline in petroleum production is boosting costs to the max.

Merrill CEO to quit

Stan O'Neal, the first black CEO of Merrill Lynch, Pierce, Fenner & Smith Incorporated, a New York-based brokerage firm will soon step down. This is because world's largest brokerage had its largest quarterly loss in history since it was founded over ninety years ago.

His role in getting Merrill to take on more mortgage debt during the global credit collapse may be in part responsible for the current crisis. We will soon see a move away from mortgage backed credit and toward less risky investments.

$100/b soon

Oil will hit $100/b soon. I predicted this would happen. Get ready for gasoline to go up in price, you will pay thru the hose. The average price for gasoline is now $2.80 per gallon, and I predict that soon within months you will pay over $3/gal for gas.

The problem is that $4/gal gas is coming soon. In fact, it will be here sooner than most think. The volatile Middle East will make this a reality.

science says global warming cause fires

Those men of science claim that global warming is causing wildfires like the fire in Southern California. Maybe, bu it is easy to pin the blame of greenhouse gases, but much of the blame lies with humans and their suppression of natural fires, so when a fire does occur it has a lot more leaf litter to burn.

Also, they are saying that the polar ice cap is melting. Greenland is losing ice at a rate that the ocean will rise three feet by 2100. This meter rise will flood coastal cities. Greenland has enough water in the form of galcial ice to raise sea levels some 23 feet and cause global devastation. We need to stop global warming now.

Police have evidence that an arsonist started the California fires. A $150,000 reward is available for evidence leading to the arrest of the person responsible for the 25,000 acre fire.

The point of origen of the Santiago fire is considered a potential crime scene. An ongoing investigation is yielding clues. The low humidity and heavy Santa Ana winds made the fire spread quickly.

Football Stadium used as shelter for fire victims

More than 12,000 were left homeless by raging south California fires. They are using the football stadium as a temporary shelter. The fires are still burning down homes.

It is a sad day in LA. People are crowded into temporary tents. The air is filled with acrid black smoke.

1/2 million people evacuate southern California due to wildfires

Tinder dry land and Santa Anna winds add up to a fire of the century. California is burning down because there are fires south from the border with Mexican all the way north to Los Angeles.

Never have I seen such a voracious blaze that is burning down houses and turning them to ash heaps. This fire is apocalyptic. I predict with global warming we will have more fires in the future.

Apple closes at record high

I predicted that Apple would break 200, well it is now at 174 per share and going up like a rocket to the asteroids. The debunkers who laughed at me, can now change their story to "That was obvious." The problem is that they did not invest in Apple.

It is easy to laugh at me, and when my prediction comes true claim that I did not predict anything, but I predicted that Apple would break 200. My prediction will soon come true, just like my prediction that Google would break 600 already has materialized.

Dow drops 367

Is was a brutal day on Wall Street. The high price of oil combined with a looming recession is causing investors to hit the EXIT button.

Time will tell, but we see more and more investors leaving the market and putting their money into precious metals. The price of gold is up 19.75% this year. It will continue to rise in the days to come.

More than 100 dead in Pakistan

A terrorist placed a bomb casing two explosions in ex-Pakistani Prime Minister Benazir Bhutto's motorcade. The po;ular PM had returned back to her home country.

My prediction of a volatile middle east disrupting supply of oil is happening right in frontof us. Expect things to get worse.

Builders are not making as many houses as before. The prices of houses has also plunged. There is much less demand now. People are not able to sell houses. The real estate market is in real bad shape.

Many construction jobs are gone. This will cause more unemployment and a drag on the economy.

Well, Al Gore thinks so, however many science majors do not believe that we have insufficient evidence to prove global warming. Still, this year it as 90 some degrees in Chicago in October a record high. Things are getting hot.

Global warming is real and the debunkers are living in denial.

Al Gore wins Nobel Prize

Today, former VP Al Gore won the Nobel Prize due to his work on global warming. His movie "An Inconvenient Truth" will probably benefit from the talk about climate change. We face a crisis as the world goes warm.

Melting of the polar ice cap could drown Florida and other low lying areas like the nation of Holland. In fact, we see global warming as a problem, one we should solve.

Man arrested for feeding homeless

Eric Montanez was arrested and is in court for sharing his food with less fortunate homeless people. It is so sad that a person cannot share food with the less fortunate. Only an evil government passes laws against the poor. Are we Nazi Germany?

How can giving poor people food be illegal? All people should protest unjust laws. The rich and powerful have for far too long crushed the poor.

England pulling out of Iraq

Prime Minister Gordon Brown will cut British troops to 2500. This means the US is almost alone in the gulf. Everybody is cut and run. We are left holding the bag.

Boom in clean energy jobs

In the future there could be a boom in green tech jobs. Employers might want to expand into new technology that does not pollute and is friendly.

Solar and biofuel could help generate new jobs in the 21st century. As we move away from old tech to new tech many new positions will open. Jobs such as the installation of solar panels cannot be outsourced to India.

The price of corn used for ethanol has doubled since last year. It looks like the future is going to be green. I predict many new advances in clean tech for the future.

Equality decades away

It is calculated that euality for women is 73 years away. The good news is that we are slowly making progress. However, the road ahead is long and hard.

Many companies do not have even one woman on their board of directors, some of these companies like Bear Sterns are doing poorly. The old boys network is very retrograde in their thinking.

Big Banks hurt bad

Citigroup says 3rd quarter profits down 60% from last year and we are not out of the woods yet. It appears that other banks are also reporting that profits are down. The mortgage disaster gets worse and worse.

If something is not done, property prices will continue to plunge and the banks will be swimming in red ink. You can BANK on it!

Barium Oxide Bar Magnet

I was able to find Barium Oxide Bar Magnets on Ebay for $8 each. These bar magnets are very handy. They can pick up iron metal objects. I use them to gather up old nails.

Ghouliani stops at English Only restaurant

Presidential candidate Rudy Giuliani to stop at Cheesecake shop that is English Only. I can still remember reading about restaurants in the 50's that had signs that said "No Coloreds". Racism is alive and well in the 21st century.

We should treat all people with courtesy and compassion. What if a tourist does not know English? This sign is very racist and anti foreigner. We need to march forward into the 21st century, not retreat backwards to the 19th.
