I received this from a good "friend" of mine. It was not supposed to be released yet! Don't check your spam folders....yet.
This is what happens when the best and brightest shun pubic office for the private sector because the election process has become such an invasive circus, leaving only the Super-Egotists with mediocre ability run our country.
Make Warren Buffet Secretary of the Treasury! Except he wouldn't waste his time going through the invasive and public scrutiny and media show of a confirmation hearing.
And that's why China holds over $1.2 Trillion in Treasury issued debt, Japan holds almost half a trillion dollars in Treasury issued debt, and the American economy is tanking.We are only staying afloat because if the United States goes Chapter 7 and defaults on it's debt, the entire world economy will crumble.
Meanwhile, with the dollar so weak against the Euro, real estate, corporations, and former American Institutions like Lehman Brothers are being bought up by Europe at bargain prices.
The American Citizen and Taxpayer? Losing their homes, their jobs, their lives.
To paraphrase Ronald Reagan, I see a shining city on a hill....but it's not in America anymore.

Sarah Palin: A brilliant move by John McCain?
Governor Sarah Palin would not have been my first choice: only because I never heard of her before now. But that doesn't make her a bad choice at all.
In fact, if McCain wins, it will go down in history as one of the shrewdest and brilliant political plays of all time.
And if the mainstream media can be used as a barometer, she was a great choice.
Almost everything printed or broadcast from the mainstream media goes out of it's way to paint anything and everything about her in a negative light. If she ran in front of a car to push a child to safety and the car hit her, the headline would be "Palin Damages Car".
With Joe Biden, on the other hand, the press seems to be suffering from a collective memory loss spanning his entire political career. Biden has made so many politic gaffs, had so many errors in judgement, that it would take a week to Google them all.
But the press only has nice things to say; or those with any shred of ethics left simply don't mention him much.
So McCain's choice of the Governor of Alaska may be sheer genius. Say what you will about McCain, you Obama and left wingers, but he's politically savvy. He didn't throw a dart blindly at a map: he knows her lack of elected experience is going to dampen that line of attack on Obama. Other than his flip-flopping and "it depends how you define 'is'" statements of late, lack of experience was and is one of Obama's weak points. I know that, you know that, and you can bet John McCain sure does.
Yet he gives up valuable ammunition and chooses Sarah Palin as a running mate. There's a real good reason. Pieces of it are out there, but McCain deliberately chose her for a reason.
I'm actually starting to get interested in this election again....and maybe that was McCain's whole point: to wake up the voters already bored by this seemingly never-ending campaign. I don't know....not yet. But Marc Chamot, one of my favorite commentators, thinks he does.
Marc explains we he opts for "Brilliant" in his article. Click "read more" ..

LinkedIn.com Swedish Snus Enthusiast Group Announcement
I'm posting this because LinkedIn.com has been invaluable to me professionally.
As to the Swedish Snus Enthusiast Group, they give me the opportunity to introduce Henry Waxman's recent Bill H.R. 1108.
It was overwhelming supported by both parties in the House but the fall break stopped it from making it the Senate. The bill will put tobacco under FDA control among other things.The Bill will be reintroduced next year, pass both houses of Congress, and either McCain or Obama will sign it.
It has huge ramifications not only for the 46 million American cigarette smokers, but for users of "reduced-harm-tobacco" products like Swedish or Swedish-Style snus, and other forms of tobacco.
This will be a very large issue and point of contention during 2009 and I'm just laying the groundwork. Remember you heard it here first!
For those of you unaware, LinkedIn.com is the ultimate and largest networking site for professionals in practically every field. Membership is tiered, but starting with FREE. LinkedIn is not for everyone: it's a business networking site.
