I read an article today that thoroughly explains what is happening in our financial markets – my son-in-law Torben clued me to it: The Financial Crisis: A look behind the wizard’s curtain. The purpose of this financial crisis is to take down the United States and the U.S. dollar as the stable datum of planetary finance. READ IT ALL…

Over 1000 Tea Parties in 1500 cities are now being scheduled. The one in Orlando, FL this weekend was a stunning success: Orlando Tea Party – Doing The Right Thing For America. Got tea?

And from one of my heroes comes an echo on my viewpoint concerning the AIG bonuses – Neal Boortz: Off With Their Heads

Key excerpt:

This is nuts. I mean, really folks … we have gone bat-guano insane over this AIG bonus brouhaha. You’re being manipulated. The wealth-envy is being stoked. What we have here is a phony outrage wholly generated by the political class to take the minds of the dumb masses (if you’re reading aloud, do so slowly) off of the spectacularly irresponsible bailout, stimulus and budget bills that have been passed in recent months. We have an anti-capitalist Democrat party working with a president who thinks that America’s greatness is based in government, together with no small number of Republican sycophants, spending this country into oblivion … and looking for ways to distract your attention in the process.

And as we are now clearly in the financial twilight zone, the Dow is up 300+ points. Why you ask? Because we are going into debt another 1 Trillion dollars – let’s see 3.6 T plus 1 T – gee, we are at a deficit of 4.6 T with this. I know! Let’s print more money! Obama’s $1 Trillion Plan to End Bank Crisis – Treasury Secretary Tim Geithner Hopes to Attract Private Investors to Buy Toxic Assets. Yeah, that’ll fix it – these people are on crack… Kroft to Obama: Are you punch-drunk?

And just in case you wondered who those 85 Republicans were who voted with the Dems to do an unconstitutional Bill of Attainder on the bonuses of the AIG execs, Michelle Malkin has it: Roll call vote breakdown: The 85 House Republicans who supported Rangel’s 90 percent bonus tax. More on it at The New Editor: A List of US Reps who Voted for HR 1586, Imposing a 90% Tax on Bonuses for TARP Recipients. By the way, Dean Heller of Nevada should be ashamed of his vote…
