CREATIVES UNITE!
News that Bruce Springsteen and other music groups will be touring
for "a change in leadership" is interesting. Sprinsteen's op-ed in
the NYT is a MUST READ! This election could pit INTELLIGENCE &
CREATIVITY against WEALTH & GREED; in a titanic contest for the
hearts and minds of the BUBBA VOTE! Yeah, it's come down to that.
Think about it......
ARAB CONCENTRATION CAMPS?
Reports of a "terror plot" found in a New York Mosque could be
ominous. During WWII the Japanese Americans were impounded for the
duration of the war. Could the same thing happen to Muslim
Americans? Well, if Dubya is re-elected and there is some kind of
new attack on America; I would bet that a call for expulsion or
incarceration of Muslims will be made.
TOUGH LOVE FOR ISRAEL:
Jeffery Goldberg's op-ed in the NYT today is another MUST READ! Few
Americans know the realities of Israeli politics. The religious
right in Israel and Osama ARE BOTH ON THE SAME PAGE! They BOTH want
an all out war between Muslims and Jews. And, I hold to my
prediction that an attack on the Dome of the Rock looms! Perhaps
even this year.....,but after the defeat of Dubya, its even more
likely.
If you think about it;
THE WHOLE WORLD has been in the grip of the GLOBAL RELIGIOUS RIGHT-
WING RECENTLY......
IN THE US, IN ARABY AND THE EMPIRE OF ISLAM, AND IN ISRAEL!
PUTTING THE GLOBAL RELIGIOUS FANATICS IN CHARGE IS DANGEROUS! VERY
DANGEROUS. IF THIS IS THE "NEW CONSERVATISM" GOD HELP US ALL!
OIL SPECULATION:
If oil was at $40 in the 1970's, shouldn't it be somewhere in the
80's now? Just a thought...............
THE LOOTING REPUBLICANS:
Malpass in the WSJ today is a perfect example of the economics of
Looting Republicans. By explaining why the economy and the dollar
didn't go "supernova" yesterday, the assumption is that all of the
concern about the "twin deficits" is just Chicken Little Talk! Well,
it isn't. Economies "rot" from the inside out. Things will look
great; until they don't. Then the Looting Republicans will probably
say something STUPID like: Let them eat Cake! Talk about Risky
Business!
GREENSPAN IN OZ:
News that the real economy is slowing even while Mutual Funds are
AWASH IN NEW CASH is GREENSPAN IN OZ! The WSJ reports today that
Mutual Funds have more money than they can invest thanks to The G-
Man's Pro-Rich Pro-Wall Street monetary policies. While wages are
punk, the rich are awash in cash they can not invest!
The Result? See above on Oil Speculation!
BLACK FRIDAY:
The Jobs Report tomorrow could be the most important in years! After
the "spring surpirse" that crashed the bond market and much else,
there is really little hope for a lot of new hiring. In fact it's
possible that those "lawn and garden" jobs in Minnesota could be
disappearing about now! I think 50,000-80,000 new jobs feels about
right.
But, I reserve my right to be OFF BY MILES, just like
the "professional" Wall Street economists!
Stay tuned............for "Short Takes" to come.
