Opening Stuff:

Massing of information has changed societies, and nothing masses it more today than Twitter. Marketers use twitter to build mass hysteria. ISIS uses it to recruit participants in mass murder. Faceless irritants send crude and uncivilized messages from the depth of hell. Celebrities extol their virtues as if given from heaven. The untruths from twitter can crumble the reputation of a person. Twitter finds guilt without a presumption of innocence. Twitter is a scourge that can rape and maim. Why would I ever want to Tweet to an unknowing world that I put my chewing gum on te bedpost overnight.

 

Simple Fact, Department:

If everybody oi the world stood up, there would be no more laps.

 

Eyes should be firmly affixed upon the world’s interest rates as more and more large countries are lowering theirs (India just hopped aboard hat locomotive) as The Fed is mulling the long expected increase here. All this does is strengthen the dollar which some are saying could be a big negative for the USofA. A stronger dollar could ignite the economy forcing Yellen to raise interest rates faster, and possibly higher, given impetuous to an inevitable market crash. Of course the stronger dollars makes imports cheaper, which could hurt domestic producers and jobs.. In other words, while we dance in fields of daisies in anticipation of spring, the silent mechanics of economics could be eroding our financial comfort. It’s a little like high blood pressure you can’t see or feel. There’ always something.

Let’s see if I have this straight: Confession of Massachusetts teen (Who slashed teacher to death with box cutter and raped her) was thrown out because after freely admitting all when  alone he seemed to be more hesitant about admitting guilt to that vicious crime when his mother came into the room. To this pragmatist, legal wrangling just seems to make trials longer.

 

Humming birds are intriguing little creatures, if you can see them

 

You have to wonder if the Ferguson police were committing “routine” civil rights violations because crime was routine in their city.

 

When you move into one of those Florida condominiums for a few weeks of warm sun in the winter, the rental agent will invariably mention, “We have our alligator in then pond”. I guess it’s an attempt to make you feel like you are living dangerously.

 

Wall Street gets excited about adding private sector jobs which nowadays pay less than government jobs probably because the government is sucking up so much of the available cash t o pay for the higher priced jobs that are multiplying rapidly. So, why again is Wall Street excited?

 

Now The Lala-Pelosi knows what we feel like when she speaks – yesterday she said she was near tears  listening to Bibi.

 

Demographics work because people are more similar than they are different…and that includes contrarians like me…avant-garde artists, disestablishment communities, intellectual elites and Joe six packs.

Lap dogs never made much sense anyhow.  Or, are they yap dogs. Sorry lap dog lovers, I just couldn’t resist it.
