Short Takes

Events that need review

Supreme Court Enables fascism
Why we need conservative Judges on the Supreme Court. This stinks. Drifting towards the USC (United State of Corporation) Of the corporation, for the corporation, by the corporation shall she ever be.

I'm sick of Senatorial Grandstanding
This kind of BS in a hearing is nothing but sound bite generation. Please, Senators, go back behind closed doors and get some work done. That's what we pay you for, not this idiocy. CSPAN, Please turn these DIVAS off.

Karl Rove tells the Truth
In North Dakota we used to say that if you throw a stone into a flock of chickens the only one that squawks is the one the stone hit. Karl told the truth about the Durbin comment and the chickens squawked.

$60 Oil Best thing that could happen
My old business partner Larry Ristvedt used to say, Trees have Tops. That means that what goes up will come down. Oil will come down. Short term pain, long term gain. Don't you think for a minute that there aren't people around the globe pulling bunnies out of their hat to capitalize on this. It's $15 soybeans. Every back yard in America would be planted with them if that happened. This will settle down. June 2006, gas at the pump,. $1.99
Book it.

This bothers me, The Chinese are not our friends (just friends with WalMart)
I don't know why people in Washington fear the Chinese so. We will face them sooner or later. Let's take them on (not militarily) while we can. They buy UNOCOL. Another brick in the wall. Revalue the YUAN. Level the playing field. Tell Wal-Mart to butt out. I'm convinced Bentonville has lobbyist in there somewhere.

LAST by no means least:

Catch Tucker Carlson on MSNBC.
If I did a TV news show (8pm Central weekdays) it would look like this. Plus, Tucker is my brand of Conservative Christian. I haven't disagreed with him on anything to date. This is really good. Catch It!

Thhhhats all folks.

Larry Ristvedt, a friend of mine, used to tell me, "nothing cures high prices like high prices."
We'll see. That was the "olden days."
