A brighter tomorrow!

Ever have one of those days where you wake up feeling lousy, look outside and see your car's feeling badly too. Like it's been through a paper shredder? But you know that can't be right because you live in a rubber, sheet metal, plastic world? Yeh, well, that's why I stopped and snapped this picture awhile back.

I suspect much of our angst is brought on by sick people making us feel iller. I mean, what the hell can we expect when two of the biggest, baddest leaders in all the world live in our very own White House and go by the nicknames "Fart Boy" and "Turd Blossom"?

Well, relax. If you're concerned for your future under such leadership because you feel so alienated from such aliens, your entire security is at risk, as well as those of your folks maybe, or your kids, take heart. If you can't support the future being created for us all, maybe you can at least try to secure a little of it but emulating those creating it, like our own vice president.

If that sounds like a bright spot in an otherwise dark day, let me offer up a portion of a recent article I discovered on Information Clearing House which sheds light on Dick Cheney's financial acumen, to wit:

NeoCon Continental

For all the contempt that the NeoCons shower upon "Old Europe," they sure seem to find it a good place to invest and even live. Vice-President Cheney likes to tout how great the American economy is, but he and his wife Lynne don't have much confidence in the dollar. Kiplinger Reports took a close look at the Cheney's financial disclosure report recently, and found that the Second Couple is betting against the U. S. economy. The biggest chunk of their estimated $96 million in change is bet on a fund that specializes in predominately European bonds and had only 6% of its assets in dollar-based investments when Kiplinger took a look.

How nice for them. If the Vice-President's relentless push for a new war against Iran succeeds, and oil prices skyrocket to two or three times the previous record, with a resulting collapse of the dollar, it won't be the Cheneys who suffer.

I thought this might help any of you out there suffering the same angst as I. Ooooh, holy jesus, I can't wait for the markets to open tomorrow to transfer my wealth and secure my future!
