Bakley's Blog

Words from my life South of the Border in Mexico City for friends and family. I intend to post artcles and other things that are funny or interesting. I am a huge soccer fan, like to cook and am currently consumed by politics. I work in finance and am busy trying to get my Spanish to the next level. Hope you enjoy.

Another Point

On Bush's visit to the West Virginia "IOU" building.

I think everyone who wants to call themselves a pundit or a politician (or both) should take and pass Econ 101 and 102 Micro and Macro.

period. end of discussion i am tired of this silliness with talk of IOU's what the fuck is a bond anyway? and if a bond is and IOU a stock certificate is an "I Hope to IOU" and that is what Bush and team want us investing our SS insurance money in.

Follow up

So several weeks have passed since my original post on Schiavo and I have to say that the things that happened since have reaffirmed my utter hatred and contempt for the nuts. My mom suggested Texas succeed. I said not before all dems re-populated the former Solid South, but after that I am sure that Mexico would be happy to have it back.

I wrote a nasty email Coryn (or whatever) and his staff didn't even write me a little "thanks for writing" email.

anyway. what have we come to with politicians and other should-be-respected types threatening federal judges with murder. Unreal.

I think enough has been said but I wanted to go on record as sick to my stomach.
