SHORT TAKES FOR JANUARY

SAD AND LONELY AIRPORTS:

America's Airports are such sad and lonely places these days.

Even when they're crowded--which they usually aren't.

Indeed! What could be more sad and more lonely than standing in line with 300 other people to get your shoes x-rayed!

And, Americans are all so Fat and Frumpy looking now.

Shouting into their stupid cell phones. Americans are starting to dress and act like Russians in the Soviet days! Egad....., is American Decline now a fashion statement too?

And all that costing cutting and airline bankruptcy talk is scary. These days a high class airline is one that is going broke SLOWER than the others.

Many airports are starting to look run-down and frayed around the edges too. And, all that security has really taken the fun out of it. How I long for the old days. The Friendly Skys. Ya know?


THE CHECKS IN THE MAIL:

Those seeking to have influence in D.C. after November, had been have their checks in the mail to John Kerry for President, A.S.A.P.

Why?

Well, even the Elites are starting to slowly abandon Dubya & Chums!

And, the Republican "Bubba Vote" is in flux because of the economy.

And remember, with the country "evenly divided," all Kerry has to do is peel off 3 to 5 percent of the Southern Bubba Vote to achieve a LANDSLIDE VICTORY.

The real question for '04 is will the Democrats take the Kongress too? Health Care, Jobs, Pensions, and WHAT NEXT IN IRAQ are the REAL issues.

Dubya has no credible program on the first three! And, he's still trying to JUSTIFY THE WAR! NOT CONCLUDE THE PEACE! So, Ground Hog Day? Pitiful really.

And, it's kinda sad to watch the Dubya Voters struggling with themselves over this election.

They seem to be saying:

"If I'm not a Republican, does that mean I'm pro-gay? How can I vote for a party that has so many Blacks in it? What will people say about me at the bar down at the golf course. Does it mean I'm now officially a failure?"

COME OUT OF THE CLOSET DUBYA VOTERS! I GIVE YOU PERMISSION! REALLY!

AND, THAT'S WHAT KERRY HAS TO DO!

SIMPLY TO GIVE OLD DUBYA VOTERS "PERMISSION" TO VOTE DEMOCRATIC!

BECAUSE, IT DOESN'T MEAN THAT YOU'RE PRO-BLACK, PRO-GAY, OR LOOKING FOR A GOVERNMENT WELFARE CHECK!

IT MEANS YOU WANT TO HAVE A VIABLE US ECONOMY LEFT FOR YOUR KIDS TO LIVE AND WORK IN!! THAT'S ALL!

The alternative?

Perhaps, give your kids those Chinese lessons that mega-investor, Jim Rogers has suggested!

CISCO EARNINGS:

Are there that many new routers and switches being sold? I don't think so.

These pieces of IT heavy equipment are like CAT Bulldozers. It only takes a few to move a lot of dirt!

Perhaps Cisco will do well on it's "investments" instead?

Who isn't these days!
