One Man Gathers What Another Man Spills

 or Play of the Evening

 The Grateful Dead - Aoxomoxoa
It's been a Dead soundtrack tonight as I fold laundry and watch Boise State and LA Tech football on ESPN. Along with Anthem of the Sun, this is one of my favorite Dead albums.

He May Not Have Invented The Internet But He May Have Invented Global Warming

 "Al may become the first man to rip-off a cool billion through government carbon tyranny. When a man becomes rich in the market, it is because he has been highly successful in serving consumers. When a hereditary member of the power elite like Gore becomes even richer through the state, it means he has been very successful in pushing the faces of consumers into the mud. He promotes climate lies and then poverty-producing state intervention because of the lies, and then makes big bucks from special deals with companies he helped enrich through the state. What a monster."

Be Prepared For The Worst

 or Economic/Political Quote of the Day
"Anytime the central bank intervenes to pump trillions of dollars into the financial system, a bubble is created that must eventually deflate. We have seen the results of Alan Greenspan's excessively low interest rates: the housing bubble, the explosion of subprime loans and the subsequent collapse of the bubble, which took down numerous financial institutions. Rather than allow the market to correct itself and clear away the worst excesses of the boom period, the Federal Reserve and the U.S. Treasury colluded to put taxpayers on the hook for trillions of dollars. Those banks and financial institutions that took on the largest risks and performed worst were rewarded with billions in taxpayer dollars, allowing them to survive and compete with their better-managed peers."

Political Quote Of The Day

 "Politicians lie. Voters believe. This is the great symbiotic relationship of democratic politics."
Gary North
Red State, Blue State, Left, Right, Democrat, Republican: there is no difference. We have a one party system with two warring factions trying to grab and maintain power by any means available, legal or not.

No Trick, No Treat

 or It's My Life (cont.)...
Mrs. Metal Dad thinks I was horribly deprived as a child because my parents did not allow us to go out trick or treating on Halloween. They said they did not raise us to be beggars. I never thought twice about it. I guess it was the nonconformity that was instilled in us. The one time I was allowed to go to a Halloween party I just felt weird and stupid.

Our sons used to go out on occasion. I don't have any philosophical or theological problems with it. It's just a foreign concept to me.

I Had A Great Idea

 I'm going to apply to the National Endowment for the Arts for a grant which I'm confident they will provide once they recognize the provocative, cutting edge nature of my proposed piece of work. I will take a figurine of the prophet Muhammad and put it into a jar of camel urine and name this work, "Piss Muhammad." I am quite sure that the elite of the art world and Hollywood celebrities concerned about artistic freedom will defend my right to offend a large portion of the world. It's art after all and I have a right to be funded by the tax dollars of ignorant folks who don't understand art.
