I read "NEW YORK - President Bush sought to assure anxious world leaders on Monday that the United States is taking "bold, aggressive, decisive action"" in my RSS feeds this morning...and thought, "bold aggressive, and stupid".

Have the lost the concept of "free market" an idea that has been the envy of the world?

The bright side - We don't have to think before making financial decisions anymore, the government will bail us out!

Well there goes "free market"

Bush Team, Congress Haggle Over $700B Bailout

WASHINGTON — Strapped homeowners could get government help renegotiating their mortgages as part of the $700 billion financial bailout legislation taking shape in Congress.
...
Lawmakers on both extremes of the political spectrum assailed the plan as a massive, poorly conceived bailout. Conservative House Republicans and liberal House Democrats both huddled privately Monday to express their concerns, and they were drafting their own legislative alternatives.

"Poorly conceived", I'd say taking a large portion of a "free market" and putting it under government control is "poorly conceived"...maybe more like idiotic!

This is really a good read and makes sense if someone from the president on down will read before making taxpayers responsible for bad business decisions...and past "bad governing" that got us here in the first place...

The Corner on National Review Online

It’s time to end the silence and clear up the confusion.

Congress has an obligation to protect the taxpayer.

Congress has an obligation to limit the executive branch to the rule of law.

Congress has an obligation to perform oversight.

Ain't going to be a season for the record books...at least not for the desired reasons!

Florida dominates Tennessee again

KNOXVILLE — Tennessee quarterback Jonathan Crompton kept repeating the phrase over and over, as if he were in a trance or in denial.“We shot ourselves in the foot, we shot ourselves in the foot,” he said after No. 4 Florida jumped up 17-0 in the first quarter and coasted to a 30-6 victory over the punchless Vols before a Neyland Stadium mob that booed loud and long before heading to the exits early.Indeed, Tennessee (1-2, 0-1 SEC) gave a whole new meaning to “bang-bang plays.”

By the way, I ain't a big McCain guy; however the alternative is...well communism? At the very least, the other guy is anti everything American, like freedom.

Looks like McCain lost Richard Cohen's vote - Do you really care? I am sick of media types, liberal or conservative, thinking they have so much power... Face it, readership is down, people are going to other sources, and no one who thinks for themselves really care what they think - Face it MSM ain't got the juice it once had!

Now that I have tested this mobile utility, I just may post more...

I know when I was real active posting (2004) it was mainly political stuff and opinions, but I really got sick of some of that - So if I do get started going again it will have some opinions and some tech and some sports. None of which will be to interesting, but I may have fun and that is what is important ain't it.

NO Kidding?

We are blessed to have such smart people and a medium to share the "genius" with us - Like we didn't know the obvious. Amazing how this mathematical fact, "more cannot go out than is coming in", doesn't seem to be so obvious to the "genius" and the "media" when it comes to Social Security. Interesting how that works, ain't it!

Greenspan: No McCain tax cuts without reduction

WASHINGTON (AP) — Alan Greenspan says the country can't afford tax cuts of the magnitude proposed by Republican presidential contender John McCain — at least not without a corresponding reduction in government spending.

Remember - With a Moment of Silence

None of us should ever forget! Where were you when you heard?

Take a movement to remember those lost - to remember what we are up against - remember what America stands for!

Bush to Mark Sept. 11 With Moment of Silence

The moment of silence at the White House on Thursday will occur at 8:46 a.m. — the exact time in 2001 that terrorists slammed the first of two jetliners into the World Trade Center.
