Tales from the Outback

Top 10 Things I’m Thinking About Today

1) Michael Jackson died. I don’t care. Is the world a better place without him? Probably, one thing is for sure though, there is something seriously wrong with the media for blowing this thing up.

2) California is a laboratory for “How-to-not-run-a-State”. They have a fiscal crisis because they believe in a bizarre, bottom-up economy where productive members of society get taken to the woodshed while the wagon-riders get free everything. I think it’s funny that they have to print IOU’s. The day (and its coming soon) that the responsible States have to bailout the socialist States is the first day of the 2nd American Revolution.

3) Unbelievable conditions have lead to stupendously happy corn and spring wheat fields. Grain carts will be very busy if we can hook a few more rains.

4) My brothers and I bought some heifer pairs last spring. With all the grass and need for critters to eat it up, hopefully the endeavor will convince them (and more importantly my sisters-in-law) to do more of it. I’m very proud of our brand it’s AU (the elemental symbol for gold) with a little symbol on it.

5) Al Franken, former comedian, is now a senator. All this proves is my long-held belief that when the Plains States decide to secede from the Union, we sure as the world must leave those goofy Minnesotans behind.

6) Cap N Trade – I don’t know what to say. This new legislation will add $3,000 per household per year to utility bills, and it unfairly impacts northern States like SD because we need to keep warm in the winter, all because some folks think they can change the weather. The inmates are clearly running the asylum.

7) Australia may be a good place to escape to as this country self-destructs. “Muslims who want to live under Islamic Sharia law were told on Wednesday to get out of Australia, as the government targeted radicals in a bid to head off potential terror attacks.” reads the news there. What a great idea!!

“Audit the Fed” is a bill stalled in the House, and stalled in the Senate. This REALLY burns me. Don’t kid yourself, the most powerful force on earth is the banking cartel we shamefully call the Federal Reserve. This shadow government (the Fed) has ZERO oversight, zero regulation, and affects the day-to-day lives of all Americans profoundly. The Audit the Fed Bill has huge support, and just yesterday it was brought to the floor for a vote, but Senator Ben Nelson of Nebraska pulled some strings to stop it.

9) I will post my letters to Senators Johnson and Thune in this newspaper next week concerning the Audit the Fed Bill.

It’s insane we worry so much about whom politicians are sleeping with. I’ll tell you who they are toying with, its you and me. We will have zero economic prosperity until the puppet masters at the Federal Reserve are brought to heel.

10) We had a super Independence Day Celebration in Woonsocket. I’m thankful the planners included the log rolling contest and the tri-athalon this year.  I encourage more people to do the tri-athalon next year, as its not about racing, its about  saying “No” to the advancement of old age. I hope next year they include WWE-style wrestling in a big ring with ropes a person can bounce off of. It would be fun for local community members to body-slam each other.
