POPS#youmightbedivisive if...... (more) TWEET your own thoughts if you're sick of partisans taking every new concept that gets uncovered with regard to how the parties are just tools of Corporatist/Government urges to allout tyrannical oneworld nannyism but using each one in the same old R vs.D paradigm. You know, like when you realize that both parties are vehicles to drive us away from a true American marketplace that thrived before the boom & bust bailout days (like,..oh,..pre 1960's, maybe pre 1970's) and each party is master of different aspects of the same Post-American end, and then someone says "Yea. Like Cheney & Haliburton. With Obama things will get better now." -OR- "Yea. Obama & SEIU & multi $T debt bailouts. Repubs. will get us back to the free-market."

POPSThe Ghost of Lawrence Welk
"Stop the bubble machine." It takes an amateur sometimes to sense a concept in their soul without a bunch of technical knowledge to get in the way and cloud a person's insights. There just seemed something fake, artificial "built on sand" about the tech and housing markets. And to fit the evolving puzzle, the next piece had to be global in scale; had to have emotional and convincing sponsorship; and had to step up the stakes in terms of a sense of necessity if not desperation -- and that piece -- that new bubble -- is YOU GUESSED IT -- GLOBAL WARMING. If you haven't been suspicious of the promotion of this thing your head is....well, you've been played. Or something. The growth of the tech industry was not the way business grows in a healthy manner; people's squandering of every new dollar of their wildly inflated, on-loan home equity was as self-destructive as a cocaine addict blowin' the month's pay in one night; and -- NOW -- the corporate world being in an unnatural perverse int
