Former Mayor Guiliani's speech at the RNC was something to be watched, in addition to  Palin's.  It was strong, dynamic, and quite funny.  But...

here's all the proof you'll ever need:

THIS JUST IN:  RBA is not sinking!  REPEAT: RBA is not sinking!

(Though Louisiana RBA members may have basement flooding)

I have a new analogy I would like to offer in the matters of self reflection on the health of this site, by the members of this site who care to engage in self reflection.

RBA was once a larger ship, with two captains!  That ship did indeed sink!  But the story does not end!

I, like most, would love to see more activity and interaction on my blog.  OK, I'm going to use the silence to my advantage; to help make my points...

I lived in Illinois before Barak Obama received the gift of an effectively unopposed Senatorial campaign.  (Anyone who counts the carpetbagging Alan Keyes as competition is being silly).  I continued to live in Illinois after B.O. packed his Gucci luggage to head to Washington DC.

To begin, we are confronted with a significant energy crisis; this could be directly addressed with nuclear energy. The application of the implementation of nuclear energy plants is now decades-old and benefits from having witnessed the potentials of failures and errors. (It is now a mature technology) The modern dilemma with nuclear energy revolves primarily around the DISPOSAL of the resulting NUCLEAR WASTE.

So what do we do with the waste?

Hollywood is the chain smoker, who has quit and now drinks too much; and preaches ad nauseam about bad oral habits, while simultaneously being a total lush.

Gosh it's easy to just be a good person and go about your day with a smile, huh? You don't have to be weary, or on-guard, 'cause between our government and our places of commerce, people sure seem to want to treat each other right. Except of course for that giant segment of our nation and the world that will never stop trying to scam you out of anything you own of value that you forget to clutch and hold close.

I guess you probably should be sorta careful. Maybe some folks aren't so good-hearted.

I think we have a monetary "Lord of the Flies" scenario in our present banking institutions.  In a fiscal jungle seemingly absent of authority or law, there are a few banking institutions which appear to seek reasonable and ethical working relationships with their customers.

There have been so many passionate assertions throughout the nation as to the character and activities of our sitting president -- but there is a WIDE gap between the two common themes!

A) He’s an EVIL GENIUS:

You're taxed when you earn your money. You're taxed when you enjoy your earnings. You're taxed when you invest your earnings. You're taxed when you own or attempt to own property. You're taxed when you purchase mandatory licenses. You're taxed when you pay for necessary utilities. You're taxed when you die.

And our Tax codes are FUN, aren't they? To be prosecuted or fined for not following tax laws that are too complex for common men to comprehend is fascinating. Send me to jail for breaking laws that are effectively designed for me not to be able to understand?
