What Really Caused the Current Economic Crisis

You NEED to watch this. No matter what your politics, you need to watch this so that you understand that there are consequences to the idiotic things that they do in Washington DC. They do effect our lives and we need to get rid of the bums that were responsible for this mess.

The has-been media refuse to report these facts. There are no journalists left at the NY Times or Newsweak, or CNN, or CBS or any of the major networks. It's a shame but it's true. The days of tough, independent minded journalists who would dig to find a story are over. Now we have lame media who hang out together and all want to be accepted by each other. That's why for awhile "gravitas" was the word of one election, but now they don't use it. That's why when you hear one false story on one network, it will be repeated on another, even though it's been proven false online already.

They can no longer be trusted. It's a shame.

So invest 11 minutes of your life, and if you have more time, google the information, do your own research and decide if what is reported here is true or not. Thanks to the internet, you no longer have to be anybody's useful idiot. Decide for yourself!

Who's fault is it

A lot is being written about the recent failures of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac. Recently Newsweek writer and NJ resident Jonathan Alter tried to blame McCain and tie him in to the Keating 5 scandal. Unfortunately for Mr. Alter, anyone with access to a computer knows that McCain was cleared of any wrongdoing and even Ann Coulter wrote a more accurate piece than Jonathan which is sad but typical of the Newsweak, NY Times "journalist" lately. When people become desperate partisans for any one candidate, they lose their ability to do their jobs as journalists and all think that they're Rush Limbaugh.

Frank Raines is working on Senator Obama's campaign and the "has-been" media refuses to report the tie-in, but you can watch this video and decide for yourself what is and is not true.

Goodbye Star-Ledger?

This email was sent out to all Star-Ledger employees today stating that if certain conditions are not met, the Star-Ledger will be sold or will shut down January 2009. We certainly hope that will not happen. We know times are tough on newspapers but the Star-Ledger is truly one of the great newspapers and we'd hate to see them go. Here's the email.

To: All Star-Ledger Employees
From: George Arwady
Date: September 16, 2008
Re: Update

As I have previously told you, there are three conditions that must be met in order for The Star-Ledger to remain in business under its current ownership. Although we are making progress toward meeting two of our three conditions (the Mailers have a ratification vote scheduled for September 22), we still are far from an agreement with the Drivers’ union.

Accordingly, since it is doubtful that the Drivers will ratify an agreement by October 8, 2008, we will be sending formal notices to all employees this week, as required by both federal and New Jersey law, advising you that the Company will be sold, or, failing that, that it will close operations on January 5, 2009.

It is most unfortunate that we have to send out this notice, but the Drivers have left us with no choice.
