Some people are happy the Vikings are getting a new stadium and others are ambivalent however many people take issue with the proposal that passed the legislature. Funding was the main reason, with the creation of electronic pulls tabs (no proven revenue track record), to NFL Football tip boards (illegal by federal law). Reports after the fact explain that the Vikings owner will ultimately cough up $25-30 million and the state, $400,000,000.

The French and Greeks have spoken.  Those country have both held elections with crazy results.  In France they have elected new leader who is a Socialist.  At least he said he was upfront, no surprises.  The Greeks were all over the board.  They couldn't even give enough votes to one group to lead the government.  The radicals have picked up steam.  Is this a sign of our future?

Our Secret Service guys are not quite so secret any more.   In fact, the Secret Service has pretty much dominated the news during the past week or so, the guys having found that what happens in Columbia does not stay in Columbia.

                 I thought when then Canidate Obama proposed that he was going to bring us all togather as a campain promise. Now it seems that daily news reports are filled with stories of Race in whatever form they can muster up. I myself am not sure if this is for political reasons or if its just the flavor of the month. I find myself wondering why its ok to place a bounty on another persons head and in the eyes of our justice system its ok.

Well, it certainly looks like we are ramping up the class warfare rhetoric with lead bullets, bodies and a real clown.   My all-time favorite clown, the Reverend Al Sharpton, of IRS and MSNBC fame, has interjected himself into the Trayvon Martin shooting incident in Sanford, Florida.    Successful in working the natives into a frenzy over African-American Trayvon Martin being stalked and shot like a mutt on the street by white vigilente George Zimmerman, the Reverend held a march today in Sanford, claiming that young black men were being executed by white folks.&nbs

Marco Rubio was on "Hannity" last night.  He made an appearance to give his endorsement of Romney.  With him throwing his support toward the former Massachusetts Govenor it makes we stop an ask "Is it time?"  Rubio is the latest GOP heavyweight to sign on to the Romney campaign.  I know what you saying to yourself.  Are Jeb and George part 1, real "conservative" Republicans?  We could discus that but, it may be better in another blog entry.  However, Rubio is one of the new breed, the Tea Partier, one of the names thrown into

While I am well aware of the dislike of the block buster-smash hit know as "The Hunger Games",  I think it prudant to examine the movie closer.  Admittedly,  I am a huge fan of the written trilogy and was very excited to view it on the big screen.  As time got closer to the anticipated release so did the increased distaste.  The plot for those of you who are not yet aware is a futuristic North America which has been broken into 12 districts.  As a reminder of the failed revolution of the districts against "the Capitol" 74 years previously, t

In seemed to take forever, but  the bankrupt country of Greece has been formally declared to be in default on its sovereign debt. 

Coming back from the grocery store the other night, I was having illusions of stupidity.    How, I wondered, can the prices of grocery items be increasing so much when the Federal Government is telling us worker bees that inflation is not a problem, running at about only 2 percent per year.   Dumb as I may be, I could not do the math in my head while in the grocery store, holding and salivating over a $30 hunk of red beef, which I had to put back, ending the dream meal.   Then it was on to the frozen shrimp aisle where what used to be a 16-ounce bag of fro

The presidential election coming up on November 6, 2012 will probably be our last election prior to collapse of the world's debt-based fiancial system.   Of more importance to Americans, it will mean collapse in the value of the dollar.   It will also mean the end of low-cost borrowing by the Federal Government.  Assuming no change between now and November 2016, U.S.
