Back at the Ranch

Well, as people get used to the recent turn of events and forthcoming changes, the market is down a little bit more - just where I like it. It will hover around 8500 for a while then start to shoot back up. Buy 100,000 shares of anything conservative. Don't get into any penny stocks - too risky right now. In six months, you can reinvest some of your profits in some cheap, high-risk stuff, just for fun. Meanwhile, back at the ranch, it appears Putin wants to get back in the driver's seat some time in the future. Communism may have changed, but totalitarianism sure hasn't. That's not him to the left, by the way. That's someone else - from another time and place - Angela, an opera singer. Ciao.

White House Wedding

I would not presume to know, but do you think it just might be possible that Sarah Palin's daughter, Bristol, and her boyfriend might be contemplating a White House Wedding? Who really knows? Of course, the Republicans would first have to win the election. Perhaps this might win them the liberal youth vote, since most young people now believe that having a baby out of wedlock is no big deal. It might even be considered chic. Who really knows? Senator McCain must be getting deeply thought out advice at this very moment. Of course, many candidates have faced very difficult personal circumstances before, going all the way back to Jefferson, Jackson, Lincoln, and Kennedy. We should never be smug about such things.
