Sticking it to the system: If you are like me you rather enjoy someone out there in the shadows of society - a real nobody - sticking it to the system. Even if they are a "somebody" but not among the really elite you still cheer when they succeed. For instance Martha Stewart got lucky and made an oppertune stock sale just before the price of that particular stock crashed. That's not supposed to happen. Only those true blue insider traders are supposed to have that kind of information. Maybe it was just a lucky guess, or she heard a roomer, but she took action, and "the man" prosecuted her for that and she served jail time. Then wasn't there a party crash of Elizabeth Taylor's outdoor wedding to Larry Fortensky in December of 1991 at "Never Land" Ranch - where somebody landed a hilocopter on the premisis during the wedding- - or was that just a Simpson's cartoon sketch. Now you have this couple who crashed an elite White House Dinner with all the usual pomp and ceremony and eliteness of it all. The couple got right past security and everything. They went through the metal detector so that was no problem. But now they want to take legal action against the couple. Nobody is allowed to have their "fifteen minutes of media fame" without paying a price.

Now stocks all around the world are crashing, or at least having a really bad day from Japan to Hong Kong to Europe, and in this country. Two factors are cited as the cause. There is an economic bust in the kingdom of Dubai - - boo hoo! I'm sure blacks in the ghetto are just really emoathetic about that. But this is causing a lot of worry. Also the US dollar is sinking to new lows. Many fear a dollar plunge. But if you're really worried about it, just invest in gold. People can make use of "the system" themselves. It may be rigged against them, but you know what they say. Black people can succeed; they just have to try a little harder than Whitey does. Of course if you're a fan of Adam Smith you should welcome a cheap dollar because that means our US goods "should" - - and I use the term advisedly - - should be more competetive on the foreign markets and that's a good thing because it will help our trade balance. If you're traveling to Europe - - it's not such a good thing. My advice is to stay here and vacation in America. They used to have a slogan, "See America First". Spend those dollars domestically and be a good American. But like I say. I'm about as worried about that as I am black people walking the streets without a hat in the noon day sun and getting sunstroke tomorrow. I believe an inflating dollar is the last of our worries now But I do think our President has a lot more negative news on the horizon I'm sure he isn't looking forward to dealing with.

Cap and Trade is now Dead: This was the headline yesterday on the internet, but so far this bit of highly relivant news has eluded the TV media. Some E mails were intercepted and the admission has come to light that the figures on global warming since 1998 have been "cooked" or skewed to give the mistaken impression that we have global warming, when actually since 1998 we have been on a cooling trend. What this means is that we can forget about a carbon tax and don't have to worry so obsessivly about our "carbon footprint". The world is not going to come to an end by 2050. The pure fact of the matter is that that dreaded term of the left, "Market forces" will themselves dictate increased fuel and energy efficiency in cars and appliances. So we are all sweating for nothing - sometimes literally. Corporations understand the economic advantage of "being ahead of the learning curve". But the bottom line is that in this economy, pulling out of this recession is Job One. It should be our number one priority. This means that we forget about this health care bill morass for the time being- - till some bright boy actually drafts a plan that can really work, most likely involving single payer- - and a number of drastic cost cutting measures - that the average citizen will hardly notice. This means we have to scrap "wars of choice" such as we are contemplating now in Afghanistan. If the service men don't get injured, we can save in health care costs paying for them. This means that it's absurd to speak of cutting "consumption" as a goal, when the recession has obviously done that FOR us - in case nobody bothered to notice.

The Federation is releasing the following compilation album today, with the front photo of the untouched original shot of the Yesterday and Today cover, before the background was air brushed. The Federation has asked me not to make any coments on changes I would like to see made in this compilation but to print it as is. So it's being released today on Black Friday, just in time for the holidays. The Federation has hinted that Paul Mc Cartney may have an untimely death in the next couple of weeks - and they even picked out the date of December 4th. for that. This would go against the Federation's long standing claim that Paul would be the last Beatle to die. They have been saying this since the spring of 1981. I see the software kept the same formatting. Usually it reverts back. Or maybe it will publish differently.
