Tower Dogs

This job would be interesting but the pay is hardly worth it. Approx. $13/hr for beginners and $20/hr for experienced climbers. Yeeesh.

The Mount Merapi Eruption

Amazing pictures. Check it out...

Commercials

While watching tv with the kids, I remembered this great quote from Alfred Hitchcock:

[introducing commercials at the end of the show] I hope you have enjoyed our program. Seeing a murder on television can help to work off one's antagonisms. And if you haven't any antagonisms, these commercials will give you some.

UN Calls for International Taxes

UN Calls for Taxes

Notice it isn't "global warming" now but "global change". The US should completely disassociate itself from the United Nations. The arrogance of the organization, who feel like they should tax for their questionable belief system, is overwhelming. 

Here is an idea...instead of using coercion through taxation, why not allow human freedom and economic freedom be an essential part of the funding for global change? Let people elect to distribute their money to the cause. Anyone who is supportive of the United Nations and its position on global change will freely donate to the cause.

If Only...

If only the Democrats would have been as creative in their election campaigns. Something along the lines of "Jesus had healthcare insurance" certainly would have been as convincing as Jesus was HIV positive.

Can Paul Successfully Take on the Fed?

Fed Commits to Creating $600 billion

While attention for most was on the elections, the Fed announced it will increase the money supply by another $600 billion.

When the Fed increases the money supply with money and credit it creates out of thin air, it causes economic problems. The value of the dollar decreases and therefore we all become poorer.

Ron Paul explains, "By increasing the money supply of money, the Federal Reserve lowers the value of every dollar that already exists. If the supply of Mickey Mantle baseball cards were suddenly to increase a million-fold, each individual card would become almost valueless. The same principle applies to money: the more the Fed creates, the less value each individual monetary unit possesses. When the money supply is increased, prices rise - with each dollar now worth less than before, it can purchase fewer goods than it could in the past."
