Obama's re-election odds are up to 57.6% on Intrade, my guess is that it is being driven by negative ads among by GOP Presidential hopefuls, and the supposedly rosy jobs picture.I am taking a class on national security strategy that has helped me look at some world problems in a different light.

My son had a few cracked ribs and a neck injury, but no permanent damage. He had been at a leadership conference in the Bay Area and fell

Charles Schwab: the Dirty Fed is destroying the economy
Published on 2012-02-06 17:46:00
America's grandfatherly champion of the small investor on the Dirty Fed:Average American savers and investors in or near retirement are being forced by the Fed's zero-rate policy to take greater investment risks. To get even modest interest or earnings on their savings, they move out of safer assets such as money markets, short-term bonds or CDs and into riskier assets such as stocks. Either that or they tie up their assets in longer-term bonds that will backfire on them if inflation returns. Th

What a great day Saturday - so many volunteers pulling together to sell so many seed potatoes - the tables were busy most of the day with many people buying seed potatoes for the first time plus those who are experienced growers trying new seed and old. First to sell out were the organic Sarpo potatoes - Alys Fowler had recommended them in The Guardian a couple of weeks ago - see

Be forewarned: The establishment wants us to despise the occupy movement. The goal is to paint everyone who opposes big government control as like Occupiers. I am not an avid Occupy Movement supporter. I do fully support the Tea Party Movement.

First, change the media narrative away from the Constitutionalist Tea Part
