Miscellaneous

A guy who predicted our current economic mess makes even worse predictions for the future.   In case you don’t watch it I will summarize:  1. The dollar’s current spike is temporary.  Soon it will “fall like a stone”.  (I agree).  2. “The world has learned a valuable lesson: Don’t lend America anymore money.”  (Possible, no evidence yet.)  3.  Gold is your best investment.  He forecasts $2000/ounce next year.  (I’ll bet against that.) 
His bottom line:  It’s going to be much worse than any of us are thinking right now.

The story you won’t hear about today’s Obama economic press conference…  He had four people standing behind him.  Three were economic heavy weights well known and well respected by the markets.  The fourth was Melody Barnes who will head the “Domestic Policy Council”.  I have never heard of her OR the Domestic Policy Council.  The reason she was on the stage was Obama’s attempt to throw a bone to the left wing of the left wing of the Democratic Party.  Many progressives have been rumbling that all of his appointments have been mainstream… you know, grown-ups.
This group will only be satisfied with Dennis Kuchinich as Secretary of State.

Have you ever heard of 16th Ave. Music?  I must live somewhere near it but I’ve never heard of the company.  One thing is certain:  They love the Obama campaign.  They were paid $84,601 for staging sound and lighting.
