For Those Asking Me (Again) About The Bail Out…Here

This site Wall Stats breaks it down as basic as possible. And I’ll try to find some documentation in “regulease” to explain how it was actually “$5 Trillion” and how most of that was spent for a new bloated 2009 miliarty budget. (I don’t even want to know).

Diddy Co-Signs On High Gas Prices

It appears Diddy is saying hell no’s to private traveling. At least $200K per round trip to LA & NY. My thing, if Diddy is feeling the pinch, imagine how much “Non” Diddy rappers are hurting, trying to front. Even more than usual, this is not the time to stunt like Diddy. Makes one think, [...]

Finally, A Kanye I Believe

Kanye West is very much on first-name terms with Louis Vuitton. “I’m here for Louis,” drawled the rapper at Paris’ Jardins de Bagatelle Friday, disclosing that he’s collaborating on a men’s shoes line for the brand. He’s obviously in a creative mood: West was dressed head to toe in his own designs, and said [...]

Refined Mess

Since the steady $4 gas prices, people have become geniuses overnight on why gas prices are so high and how it can be fixed.
Lets see, offshore drilling. The politicians say yes, we need more oil. Environmentalist say no, what about the Caribou. I say bump the damn deer and the assumption its increase in oil [...]

I wondered, big oil has to pay for everything, will they just simply own everything? Just this week, congress performed a show on [...]
