Barney Frank being interviewed on Fox News this morning by Neil Cavuto is truly listening to one of the biggest bullshit artists to ever grace the halls of Congress.
This Congresscritter should be in jail for his actions against the American financial system.

Betty Dorene Marquart Parisian
There's nothing special about today except today would have been my Mom's 83rd birthday. It's just another late July day in Georgia. Hot, steamy and bright. There's nothing special about her birthday, just a reason to touch base with my sister and Mom's older brother, Don, in Renner, South Dakota. Why do we always talk on Mom's birthday? I guess it's because we can always hear her and see her. Some of the memories Father Time hasn't erased. I wish we could share a slice of cake, a smile and some coffee together tonight, you know, some family time and talk about way back when, way back then.
Happy birthday Mom. Your light and the bright you brought shines eternal. Dad really loved you.
I miss you.

Thank God for guns..........
Chicago police have pulled weapons and shot 41 perps so far this year.
Thank goodness they were properly armed.
Thank goodness they were properly armed.
Kicking the can..........
Congress kicking this debt fiasco down the road is par. Would you expect any less of a White House that is only concerned about reelection? There is no real spending cuts. The wars go on. The Military-Industrial complex thrives. The Too-Big-To-Fail banks continue their record bonus payments.
It's like life on most Indian reservations. Things don't and won't change. The status quo remains intact.
It's all about the boys at the top who call the shots. The American taxpayer gets the short end of the stick.
My feeling is that if you don't pay federal income tax you should not be allowed to vote. Chew on that.

Utterly disgusting display of hubris.........
The assholes up in Corruption D.C. running our government into the ground are nothing but spend/tax addicts. If you are an incumbent in my voting booth you are toast.

Obama Comedy............
Senator Barack Obama 2006
"The fact that we are here today to debate raising America’s debt limit is a sign of leadership failure. It is a sign that the U.S. Government can’t pay its own bills. It is a sign that we now depend on ongoing financial assistance from foreign countries to finance our Government’s reckless fiscal policies.
Over the past 5 years, our federal debt has increased by $3.5 trillion to $8.6 trillion.That is “trillion” with a “T.” That is money that we have borrowed from the Social Security trust fund, borrowed from China and Japan, borrowed from American taxpayers."
"This rising debt is a hidden domestic enemy, robbing our cities and States of critical investments in infrastructure like bridges, ports, and levees; robbing our families and our children of critical investments in education and health care reform; robbing our seniors of the retirement and health security they have counted on. Every dollar we pay in interest is a dollar that is not going to investment in America’s priorities."

Theatrics......
Obama's press conferences are so theatrical. Obama's only plan will be one gigantic shotgun blast of dollars into the economy before the 2012 elections. He will give anything and everything away to make his chance for reelection happen. Chaos will certainly be the result from the madness and he could care less. Take away his plastic and he has a tantrum. Shakespeare would be amused.
Steve Wynn calling the kettle black...........
During the just completed Wynn earnings calls we witnessed what is without doubt the most blistering and scathing critique of Obama's administration to date by anybody in the public domain.
From the call transcript:
I believe in Las Vegas, I think its best days are ahead of it, but I'm afraid to do anything in the current political environment in the United States. You watch television and see what's going on on this this debt ceiling issue. And what I consider to be a total lack of leadership from the President, and nothing will get fixed until the President himself steps up and wrangles both parties in Congress. But everybody is so political, so focused on holding their job for the next year, that the discussion in Washington is nauseating.
And I'm saying it bluntly that this administration is the greatest wet blanket to business and progress and job creation in my lifetime. And I can prove it and I could spend the next three hours giving you examples of all of us in this marketplace that are frightened to death about all the new regulations, our health care costs escalate. Regulations coming from left and right. A President that seems, you know -- that keeps using that word redistribution.
Well, my customers and the companies that provide the vitality for the hospitality and restaurant industry, in the United States of America, they're frightened of this administration. And it makes you slow down and not invest your money. Everybody complains about how much money is on the side in America. You bet. And until we change the tempo and the conversation from Washington, it's not going to change.
And those of us who have business opportunities and the capital to do it, are going to sit in fear of the President. And you know, a lot of people don't want to say that. They say oh, God, don't be attacking Obama. Well, this is Obama's deal. And it's Obama that's responsible for this fear in America.
The guy keeps making speeches about redistribution, and maybe's ought to do something to businesses that don't invest, they're holding too much money. You know, we haven't heard that kind of money except from pure socialists.
Everybody is afraid of the government. And there's no need -- there's no need, you know, soft pedaling it. It's the truth. It is the truth. And that's true of Democratic businessmen, and Republican businessmen, and I am a Democratic businessman and I support Harry Reid, I support Democrats and Republicans, and I'm telling you that the business community in this country is frightened to death of the weird political philosophy of the President of the United States. And until he's gone, everybody is going to be sitting on their thumbs.
And if anyone should know about a comparison between capitalism and communism it is Steve Wynn: after all the biggest growth prospect for his company, and the only reason why his company trades at the multiple it does, is currently located roughly 12 time zones away in Macau.

Cramer back to his Democratic mantra.......
Jimmy boy it just gets old. You telling the world this morning on CNBC what a leftist, socialist Steve Wynn is, is well, rather putrid. Steve Wynn runs global companies, employs thousands upon thousands and you denounce him. No wonder everyone I know thinks you are an asshole. Obama is the worst President in the history of our great nation. Get over it. You must have something on the heads of NBC because it is impossible they would keep a blowhard like you on the air. You are a terrible stock picker, a terrible market timer...and to boot, you lie out your ass on a daily basis. What the world wants to know is how much of the 10-year performance figures of your hedge fund were from big commissions "paying" for IPO allocations?
"Jim Cramer is a charlatan. He turns the serious issue of personal financial security into a complete joke. There is nothing that comes out of James Cramer's mouth that allows people to make intelligent investment decisions."
A quote from David Swenson in the December/January 2009 issue of Worth magazine. Mr. Swenson is the chief investment officer of Yale University.

Cramer finally got something right!
Who made these statements this past week?
- Powerful managers use ultra ETF’s of mass destruction to push stocks around.
- Performance of stocks has become disconnected from performance of the underlying companies.
- If you go swimming in this market, there is no lifeguard on duty.
- The SEC, who favors high frequency traders, is not doing their job protecting the little guys.
- Our markets have been captured by high frequency traders, and the EXCHANGES.
- TheSEC has approved all kinds of innovations that make the market less legitimate, and less safe.
- The SEC has approved all kinds of things that make the markets more dangerous, and more difficult for you to save money for your kids.
- If you think the SEC has your back, think again.
- If you think the Exchanges are on your side, think again.
- In the old days Exchanges used to be non-profit; now they want their large institutional hedge funds that trade high frequency to make money, because that’s how they make money.
- Until you get the SEC to start looking at the markets through the prism of your IRA or 401k or 529 plans instead of through a prism of market manipulators, don’t be surprised by any outrage or flash crash. It can happen again.
Did you guess the guys at Themis Trading? If you did you would be wrong. They did make those statements in almost 160 other weeks, but in this past week it was not the great team at Themis. Rather, those statements were made by CNBC’s Jim Cramer on Mad Money this past Friday evening.

Dean Parisian caught in Carmageddon
I was expecting the worst. Coming up I-5 to Orange County I had a couple of options. Run west on the 73 to Orange County John Wayne or take the expected traffic on the 405 and hit it smack straight on until I got to the airport.
It was a breeze! Easier than finding a parking spot in Del Mar at 7p.m. Who would have thought?
It was winning for everybody.

Unbelievable: Out-of-touch Minnesota Democrat Gov. Mark Dayton lists his chef and housekeeper as "essential" government staff during the Minnesota government shutdown.

Atlanta Cheating Scandal
The NEA Union sat silent. That says it all.
Where's J. Jackson and A. Sharpton when you find such blatant "abuse" in the classroom? The inner city students fall further behind. And few if any fathers are part of the solution.
Epic fail.
Beverly Hall should be brought to account, even though the system of justice and common sense in the country seems to be severely lacking.

My perspective on Casey Marie Anthony.
A mother doesn't report her child missing for 31 days and she is found innocent?
After she hits the clubs for a couple weeks she'll start working on her book. I hope the words miscarriage of justice in the dictionary will have the pictures of Casey Anthony and O.J. Simpson.
The best fix would be Seal Team 6. Instead, up next? Casey Anthony on DANCING WITH THE STARS.
