Rental Car Gas Options

What’s the story with these options? I took a photo at my recent trip to a car rental place: So if you read the fine print–or if you just use common sense and figure the car rental place isn’t going to sell you gas at below-market prices–then it looks like pre-paying for a “full tank […]

Obama Has Lost (Jon) Stewart

Not sure how long this clip will stay up on YouTube, but it’s good. He starts with playful O’Reilly banter, but you’ll see where he’s going with it…

A Nuanced Point in the Outrage Over Cyprus

I meant to remark on this a few days ago, but I’m a busy guy… When the Cyprus bailout-plus-tax-on-depositors was first announced, most people flipped out, saying it was stealing money from the average Joe in order to rectify the bad investment decisions of the fat cats.

The forcing event […]

At […]

Prison Break From the Historical Narrative of Webster Tarpley

I don’t even want to post the YouTube here, but if you are curious here is the link to “PrisonPlanet” host Alex Jones’ interview with Webster Tarpley. I am commenting on this because different people emailed me asking me for a reaction, since Tarpley shares their views that an elite group of bankers is taking […]
