 The only "wasted" vote is one not cast. Yes, the two-party system is a rigged facade, with third party alternatives standing no chance whatsoever of actual electoral victory (at least for national offices). That said, all votes cast for alternative choices are nevertheless tallied and included in the final election statistics that history records. Consequently, third party ballots cumulatively represent a public declaration of no confidence in the transparent farce that the two party system has degenerated into. That certainly counts for something.
Also, don't count third parties out forever and ...

 I (REALLY) hate to quote James Carvell, but "It's the Economy, Stupid". If dumbass McCain doesn't address that SUBSTANTIVELY first and foremost in tonight's debate, it's all over.
People's 401Ks and nest eggs are going up in smoke, and this guy wants to talk about Bill Ayres. People fear for the security of their financial situations right now ... and that's what they want to talk about - not some washed-up old system-dupe hippy.
Everybody who cares about Obama's dubious past associations is already voting for McCain. I personally have nothing against ...

From the Howard Stern Show: Sal in Harlem |
|
|
|
|
 I haven't listened to Howard Stern in a long time. Granted, I don't have Sirius satellite radio, but even if I did, The Stern gang would probably not be very high on my list of regularly-listened to shows. I'm certainly no prude, but the truth is that at (early) middle-age, I just find the stripper and sex stuff (which is about 90% of his show) boring. Granted, I thought that it was a hoot when I was a teenager (OK, let's be honest - when I was in my twenties ...

 Meltdown. That's the best choice of words to describe the current state of the stock market ... not just here in the United States, but globally. Why? The politicians keep pointing fingers at defaulted sub-prime mortgages (and each other) and related investment products gone sour ... but that's only because that's the limit of what the majority of the public can understand and relate to. The mortgage mess may be at the root of the problem, but in and of itself it could not cause anywhere near the degree of ...

 I'm going to start by apologizing in advance for any profanity or offensive comments that this post may include ... I'll probably regret posting this tomorrow, but the fact is I'm mad as Hell about all of this. Other than the passage of the federal reserve act in 1913 (which was after all, the genesis of all of this), this "bail-out" may well qualify as the biggest swindle in World history ... and it's only the beginning.
So let's cut to the chase: what's this REALLY all about? Two Words: ...

 The following message was emailed by Congressman Ron Paul to his supporters on Thursday, September 25, 2008:
Dear Friends:
The financial meltdown the economists of the Austrian School predicted has arrived.
We are in this crisis because of an excess of artificially created credit at the hands of the Federal Reserve System. The solution being proposed? More artificial credit by the Federal Reserve. No liquidation of bad debt and malinvestment is to be allowed. By doing more of the same, we will only continue and intensify the distortions in our economy - all ...
