Will the tea partiers force the conservatives to force us into a depression?

THE DEBT CEILING MUST BE RAISED NOW! We use the word depression because despite a HFT algorithmic market unfortunately there are still to many "working folk" out there that are not "recovered"!  The sad truth of the matter is that due to bank and corporate malfeasance and the resultant taxpayer dollars fed to guilty parties as a reward for their crimes, the money for the "recovery" never got down to those who "NEED IT!"

DESPITE THE PROPAGANDA OTHERS WOULD HAVE YOU BELIEVE, the 2008 crash and it's resultant transference of wealth from the those who can least afford it to those who already have it is a direct result of "DEREGULATION".  There, we have uttered the nasty truth.

From derivatives market gone wild to workplace deaths look to "deregulation" as the culprit.  It is an irrefutable truth that it is not big governments or small governments that are evil!  It is incompetent, corrupt governments that destroy societies and nations.

Presidents from Teddy Roosevelt to Dwight Eisenhower  warned us of carpet baggers, banks and the military/industrial complex would steal us blind.  

Public corporations that should be returning money to shareholders are using it for mergers and acquisitions, share buybacks and Inflated corporate bonuses. Iphone king Apple has more money than most countries in the bank and still refuses to pay a dividend to it's shareholders.  Good, tax their ass and make them give something back to the country that allowed them to prosper!  Do it to all the corporations.  Close the freaking tax loopholes of the wealthy and make the SEC and IRS do their freaking jobs and go after some value added folk instead of focusing on the ones they know they can afford to beat in court, the workingman/woman.

Read this letter from Treasury Secretary Timothy F. Geithner to House Speaker John A. Boehner and if congress ain't moved in a week, sell all you own and buy ammo and food!

Ouzts thunder beach Sunday in Newport

If your heading east and south on Hwy 98 then Ouzts Too is your last stop for 50 miles.  Maybe not for gas. But for anywhere else you may want to be.

And though the traffic coming back from Thunder Beach in Panama City Beach ran em out of beer, this is pretty much what a Sunday afternoon looks like at Ouzt's , in Will-kill-ya county, Fl.

A new band, Canopy Roads, was liking it so much they decided to hang around and play and extra set.  So if you were of the folk we seen driving by just looking and not stopping, you got another chance come Saturday, May 14 for the Newport Jam (see flyer under events). Stop in and tell Misty we said hey! Click here for more picsAdd to Technorati Favorites

Bin Laden Is Dead, so will the Patriot Act be repealed???

Not likely as already the mass media is being swamped with "experts" advising that we can't let our guard down.  It's pretty much a truism that giving freedom away is easier than giving it back.  Then of course the other question is, since we did not let Pakistani officials know about our intention to raid Bin Ladens hideout due to lack of trust, will we get back any of the 1.5 billion dollars a year we give them?

A good take on this story is on ZeroHedge here:
An unsolicited word about ZeroHedge. We consistently say if you want to know truth follow the money.
Zero Hedge is one of the sites we frequent.  You will note most of the posts are anonymous. There is a reason for that.  But you have to follow the site for awhile to figure it out.Add to Technorati Favorites

Reporter Lara Logan 60 minutes interview about her assault in Egypt-a portait of strength

It is nothing less than heroic that Lara Logan was able to go on national TV and speak about her ordeal during the protests in Cairo, where she was repeatedly beaten and raped. There are just to many lessons to be learned here. God Bless your Ms. Logan


transcript:
The night of Feb. 11, the Egyptian dictatorship of Hosni Mubarak was falling. More than 100,000 people filled Cairo's Tahrir Square in wild celebration. Among those in the crowd was our "60 Minutes" colleague, correspondent Lara Logan.

Lara, a native of South Africa, is an experienced war reporter, but Tahrir Square became her most hazardous assignment.
