Here is a collection of a lot of different Videos I have seen that have compelled me to support Ron Paul’s candidacy 100%!!! Take the time to watch. Try to digest the truth in what he stands for. As you think about it, try to think about the rest of the campaigns. Do any of them even come close tpo being as substantive as Dr Paul’s?

Hey Friends & Classmates…                               Dec 28, 2011

Important email so you will be ready for the 2012 New Year!

Wow!     Time is running out!      2012  will be here very soon!

Have you bought your vittles yet?                 Did you know?

    Vittles  was code name given to Berlin Airlift operation 1948-49,

      strangely using a rare word by usually colloquial Americans.

Stock up on:     Black-eyed peas, a.k.a. Hopping John,  sauerkraut,

                   pork, bacon, collard greens, hog jowls and corn bread!

Pork,  pigs move forward! NO chicken or lobster they move backward!

Bacon:    To add more flavor to your greens and peas of course!

Hog Jowls:  hog jowls traditionally eaten in the south to ensure

                             good health, prosperity and progress.

Black-eyed Peas:   peas, or cowpeas are also symbolic of money.

               Their small, seed like appearance resembles coins that swell

       when cooked so they are consumed with financial rewards in mind.

    Southern custom of serving peas & rice (hoppin john) with cornbread

  or biscuits is a tradition that is actually healthy, but carbohydrate heavy.

Cooked greens, including cabbage, collards, kale, and chard,

                      are consumed at New Year’s in different countries

          for a simple reason � their green leaves look like folded money,

                         and are thus symbolic of economic fortune.

Sauerkraut:   Made from cabbage!   Has German heritage!

Cornbread:    Heck, everyone knows it is easy to make, tastes good,

                             keeps for a long time, and is very useful for

                         mopping up the gravy and sauces after cooking!

                                         a l s o…

Hoe Cakes or Johnny Cakes:

  Origin of the name is the method of preparation:

    Field hands cooked it on a shovel or hoe held to an open flame.

     Can be used, like bread with a meal or can be

       covered with honey or syrup and served as a dessert!  yummm!

Ok CREW…     Hope this bit of info will help you decide on your

                 New Years Day menu and if you follow the instructions…

      You may have a very Healthy & Prosperous NEW YEAR! 

Opps!       almost forgot…  have plenty of COLD BEER!  ;-)))

                   The preceding New Years Menu has not yet been approved

                                              by our favorite Southern Bell and fantastic Chef,

                                                             Ms.  Sandee Natowich! 

                                                                                       luv ya Sandee!

Take the time and read this.  

It will certainly give you “cause for pause” as you

contemplate fixing the economic ills of our nation!

Here’s a sample:

For me, a poignant moment of recognition came this month.

Bloomberg news published an article based on confidential sources about how Henry Paulson, the former CEO of Goldman Sachs and the Republican U.S. Treasury secretary during the financial crisis, held a secret meeting with the top 20 hedge-fund managers in New York City in late July 2008. This was about two weeks after he testified to Congress that Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac were “well-capitalized.”

I knew for a fact that what Paulson told Congress wasn’t true. I wrote my entire June 2008 newsletter detailing exactly why Fannie and Freddie certainly had billions in losses that they had not yet revealed to investors – $500 billion in losses, at least. There was no question in my mind, both companies were insolvent – “zeros,” as I explained.

And yet, in front of Congress, the U.S. Treasury secretary was saying exactly the opposite. Either I was a liar… or he was.

Then… only a few days later… what did Paulson tell those hedge-fund managers?

He told them the same thing I had written in my newsletter. He told them the opposite of what he’d said publicly to Congress. He told these billionaire investors that Fannie and Freddie were a disaster… They would require an enormous, multibillion-dollar bailout… The U.S. government would have to take them over… And their shareholders would be completely wiped out.

What do you think?

I have just spent three hours trying to get a refund from AT&T  an online cellular  service I ordered  that failed to get to me after my waiting 9 days (when it was to have taken 2 days).   I spent almost 6 hours yesterday trying to activate a phone service  on a handset I bought from WalMart .. one that I bought because the one shipped by AT&T didn’t show up (until today which was too late  … inasmuch as I had already signed on with a new provider) .   Hence the refund I am trying to get.

To make a long story short, AT&T’s Customer Service Reps are trained to come on the phone asking (and I paraphrase)  How They Can Make Me The Happiest Shopper On Earth.    What kind of BS are they trying to peddle?  There is nothing more maddening than having a customer service rep say that when the only thing that matters to AT&T … and Verizon and all the rest as far as I am concerned … is to place as much cash in their stockholder’s  and executive’s wallets as that possibly can.

Customer service went to hell in a hand-basket  as soon as automatic answering systems operated by idiots (i.e., computer systems that have no common sense and no ability to make rational, logical  decisions) began to take over the function.

I would like for a discussion to begin on the subject of how we can rid the universe of such attrocious did-services.

Let’s hear from you!!

Hello CREW…                                                                          12-15-11

It’s Officially Over!    BAGHDAD — Secretary of Defense Leon Panetta

    marked the end of the U.S. war in Iraq at a highly symbolic ceremonyThursday.

     U.S. soldiers rolled up the flag for American forces in Iraq and slipped it into a

       camouflage-colored sleeve, formally “casing” it, according to Army tradition.

          Most of the remaining Military Folks will be home for the Holidays!
