...Lets say you have a neighbor who buys brand new expensive cars all the time and is always throwing lavish catered parties and the trash ends up all over your yard. While you are sleeping his kids are breaking into your home and stealing things from you, and he parks his car in your front yard because he doesn't have enough room. But the poor guy loses his job, so he comes over and gives you a sob story and asks you for money...Having politicians bringing these people in front of the big screen so they can pretend that they are watching out for us is a farce...I have been reading newspapers and watching news on television long before CNN was in business. A big percentage of advertising money for TV and magazines and newspaper has always come from oil companies, car companies, banks, and insurance companies. So who's side do you expect them to be on?...read_article

I Had A Stroke and God Is Mean

By Phil Staudt

March 27, 2009

I had a stroke while I was driving a taxi in Las Vegas...They looked at me weird, and so I said, "okay". I figured that was weird, but I thought I was just tired. I was driving fine and knew where I was going...When I got to the hospital there was a security guard at the desk. I figured I would have to fill out forms and wait for a long time in the waiting room to see a doctor, but when my room-mate told him that I was having trouble speaking, they zoomed me into the emergency room and started rolling me around from one machine to another. They take this stroke thing seriously...Maybe I have been worse off because I did not get to the hospital right away. If I could go back and do it again, I would have dropped my passengers off at The Venetian and then sit down on their driveway and look sick until their security got me an ambulance. The problem with not being able to speak is that you can't speak...My hope is that I make enough to pay more for health insurance what most people make in a year, because I live in the United states, and insurance company profits are more important than human beings...read_article

Why I Write Blog Articles

By Phil Staudt

March 27, 2009

Why do I write blog articles? Because I can. It won't make me popular, because 47% of voters are Republican and 47% of voters are Democrats, and both of those political parties disgust me. I disagree with most people who are considered to be religious, and I disagree with most atheists, and don't agree with most opinions expressed on news programs and in news articles. My opinions are like spitting into the wind. However, I have an appreciation for the fact that I live in a country where I am still free and allowed to write my opinions...read_article

We Pay Taxes To Fix The World

Plus Interest Added

By Phil Staudt

March 27, 2009

...I keep hearing things about how this generosity being displayed by the fools in charge of the United States will somehow make the United States better by improving our image around the world. If we sent a billion dollars a day to each and every country in the world, they would be our BFFs for about as long as it takes to get a lap dance, and then just like an exotic dancer, they will expect more, and then they will not like us again until they get more money. This is our current foreign policy...read_article

Clinton Blames United States For Mexico

Border Violence And Drug Money And Guns

It's All Our Fault

By Phil Staudt

March 26, 2009

Apparently Hillary Clinton has been smoking something good with Mexican President Felipe Calderón. That explains why she said, "How could anyone conclude any differently? . . . I feel very strongly we have co-responsibility," according to The Christian Science Monitor today. Hillary Clinton was talking about her conclusion that "Our insatiable demand for illegal drugs fuels the drug trade. Our inability to prevent weapons from being illegally smuggled across the border to arm these criminals causes the deaths of police officers, soldiers and civilians." Have another hit, Hillary. Hillary's above statements might be the stupidest thing I have ever heard anyone say in my life...read_article

Is The United States Too Big To Fail?

Another Day, Another Trillion

By Phil Staudt

March 23, 2009

...This President job seems pretty simple. Keep spending a trillion a day on things like toxic assets and hope it all works out okay. In the midst of the news stories and the jousting back and forth to decide whether or not the trillion dollar toxic asset spending spree of the day will work, there is very little attention being paid to the increased debt and how, and who, will pay for all of this...read_article

Obama's Slip Up On Jay Leno Show

And There Is My Aphasia

By Phil Staudt

March 21, 2009

After my stroke it took me many months to learn how to talk again. I had never heard of aphasia, much less understood it. But I have been able to pick up on it with people who I would have previously thought were "under the influence" or mentally challenged...read_article

The Real Enemy Combatants

Are Greed And Selfishness

By Phil Staudt

March 19, 2009

We are being made fools of by the people we are electing. By keeping Americans divided as Republicans and Democrats, the crooks can band together in Washington by deceiving hard working honest decent folks into thinking that there is hope that their political party is on their side and is coming to their rescue...Then we might end up not electing Harvard grads who have never held real jobs, such as the last two Presidents. We might even get some good people in office who do not belong to the "good ol' boys and girls club"...read_article

The Big Heist Of 2008

By Phil Staudt

September 25, 2008

Last night our President made a speech. As I listened to the wise words of George W. Bush, and as I observed him saying the opposite of everything he has been saying about the economy and Wall Street and banking for the past eight years, and as he was speaking as if we are all so stupid that we cannot see this, all I could hear him saying was, "SHOCKED!!! I am shocked that gambling is going on here!"... I have been waiting and watching to see how our current lame duck would get his piece of the pie. But this scenario is over the top. For all those who have said that Bill Clinton lied to the American people, and therefore it was imperative that we should vote for our President based on "character", which was the GOP code word in 2000, I have never seen more lies coming out of a politician's mouth then what came spewing out of GW Bush last night...read_article
