And My Money On My Mind
A ‘Permanent Fix’ Bailout And Why It Won’t Happen
Texas Congressman Louie Gohmert (R) has come up with an alternative to the $350 Billion economic stimulus package the Democrats are rumored to have ready for Obama to sign on January 20th. It’s pretty innovative and novel. You get to keep what you earn. That’s right. A two month tax holiday from FICA and income [...]
The Black Friday Post
 I saw a K-Mart ad for their Black Friday specials last night featuring Jaclyn Smith.  I have no intention of going to K-Mart any time in the next 365 days.  That is, unless Jaclyn Smith is going to be there.  This woman was hot when I was in kindergarten.  Now I’m old, and [...]
Best Thanksgiving List Ever
I’m not going to even begin to bore anyone with the old cliche’d things I’m thankful for. Family, health, friends, etc.–anyone can think of those. Besides, I wrote a nice Thanksgiving post last year. Nope, I’m going to get real. I’m thankful for a lot of things most people probably aren’t, so why not list [...]
Green, Get the Money, Dolla Dolla Bill Yo
 Are you still waiting on your next check from the gov’ment?  Has it been almost a year already?  A lot of good that did, huh? Instead of waiting on the people who cause most problems to solve them, you’d be better off heading over to KTownLowDown for some great tips on coupon clipping and [...]
I Don’t Get Out Much
 At least not anymore.  But I was out for most of the day today, at least if you consider the mall and grocery store as “out”.  When I say I don’t get out much, I’m talking about the house and my pajamas.  I mean that I literally don’t get out of my pajamas much. [...]
$50B for Automakers Now?!?!
That’s what President-elect Obama is advocating; Yet to be determined is whether most of the money would be drawn from the $700 billion financial rescue package Congress passed last month or from newly allocated funds. I’m only an armchair pundit, but I think I can take a crack at this one with relative certainty. Â This [...]
Joe Six-Pack Going Galt
I’ve heard a lot of talk lately about people “going John Galt” if the changes we’ve been threatened with promised are enacted. What’s interesting to me is that, unlike the situation described in Atlas Shrugged, the captains of industry are not among them. Isn’t it interesting that the people who seem to be most concerned [...]
Planning For “Change” Financially
   The Only Real Change I Expect I am not a financial advisor, lawyer, or accountant.  You should consult with someone with this type of expertise before making financial decisions, but it’s never to early to start thinking about how you should plan financially to survive/improve/thrive with the changes that may occur in the next [...]
Business Fail Because of Banks and Credit Card Companies? C’mon.
I normally wouldn’t comment on a situation like Cindy Fairless Lay’s.  She is closing her privately owned business here locally, and that’s none of my business.  However, Ms. Lay wrote a guest column for the KNS (related article) today in which she explains why her business is closing.  In doing so, she’s put herself out there, [...]
Common Man
Heard on the radio and copied from Dave Ramsey’s site. I Do Not Choose to Be a Common Man.  It is my right to be uncommon—if I can.  I seek opportunity—not security. I do not wish to be a kept citizen, humbled and dulled by having the state look after me. I want to take the [...]
