Hola. What a day. I like Rush, though he has moments of stupidity. His just gets blasted all over the world because - well, be is a celebrity. I'm glad I don't have that curse. I'd like the money though!

I don't want my country to fail - I DO want people to wake up and smell the naivete of this administration and get us out of it as quickly as we can. I respect his position, I find it hard to respect him much of the time, but I won't be a screaming banshee - I'll call out when I find his actions troubling (GM - that is a huge issue for me). I don't expect everyone to agree with me, and that's OK too.

I do not think it wise to be quiet about Sotomayor, though, if you find her record troubling as I do. I don't want her to fail, but I do want her bid to SCOTUS to fail - again, not because Obama picked her, but because I don't like the things she has said and done. I was equally vocal about W's asinine attempt to put good Ole Harriet Miers on the bench.

I went to the grocery store to get a salad for dinner, I've been so very good on my diet - until I saw the blueberry apple cobbler.

Mobile phone / pay it forward story:

Last weekend I went to the Sprint All Star NASCAR race in Charlotte. After the race, walking back to the hotel, found a mobile phone by the side of the road. Thinking I could call the last number and reconnect the phone with the owner, I took it back to the hotel, but neither mine or my son's charger was compatible. I wound up taking it back to Houston with me, and charged it up at home. My wife found that the contacts included about 30 female names, and one listing for "Mom." She called Mom, and soon had the surprised owner on the line, amazed that someone was going to mail his phone back to him for nothing. That was a week ago.

Today I picked up the mail and found he had sent us a thank-you note and a gift card for $50.

Good evening.

The 10 year treasury yield is up to 3.76%. Just a few days ago it was 3.55% and in April was 2.70%.

The inflation many have been expecting is arriving and is destined to stay around for a while.

For those too young to remember what high inflation is like, eventually folks start buying stuff now before the price can go up further, which chases the prices up even more. Wages fall behind price increases cause no employer can provide double digit raises year after year. The purchasing power of fixed incomes is eroded, the elderly are especially impacted.

Back in the 70's and early 80's we tracked the "Misery Index", which was unemployment rate + inflation. I can see that starting again (but not by the MSM).

re: #60 reine.de.tout

I think we saved his 'little black book.'

Getting here late as usual.

It's obvious that the million (starving) strong North Korean army is receiving heavy reinforcements from their usual allies, the western media. The objective is to force the Republic of (South) Korea and the US to essentially surrender without a fight, since if it does come to a fight, Kimmie's decrepit forces will be smashed in short order.
How to recognize Nork propaganda:
1. Discounts or ignores the RoK forces
2. Ignores the presence of US troops in the peninsula now
3. Cites the Russian S-300 missile system as an all-purpose impenetrable shield against American airpower.
4. Cites the Norks' "powerful" fleet of submarines without mentioning that most of these are basically of World War 2 design (based on Soviet "Romeo" type, a post-war derivative of Doenitz's Type XXI U-Boat.)
5. Last but certainly not least, the incessant and terrifying references to Seoul being within range of humpteen thousand Nork artillery pieces and rockets on the DMZ. Folks, it's 40 miles from the DMZ to Seoul and it is impossible that the Nork artillery could be deployed that close to the line anyway. The only weapons in the Nork arsenal that will reach that far are their tactical missiles, not their ancient tube artillery or MLRS rocket systems. They have a few hundred such missiles, which could cause a great deal of damage but not on the apocalyptic scale claimed even in the unlikely event that they are used against no other targets. Compare to the results, or lack thereof, we saw from Saddam's Scud offensive in Israel in 1991.
This is a bluff.
If it comes to war, Pyongyang's only hope will be to cause enough civilian casualties for the usual suspects in the media/NGO cabal to bring pressure for a premature cease-fire on Nork terms.

Another inflation hedge - make your own power.

If you can swing a Solar PV system to supply your electricity, do it.

I am getting ready to go off grid entirely.

Cap and Trade will amp your electricity bill big time regardless of where you live and what your power co burns to keep your lights on.

Another suggestion for anyone in the midwest / east coast - get a geo-thermal heat pump. Sounds exotic but it is simple - a heat pump that doesn't exchange heat/cold with the air but the earth instead. Makes your heating/cooling all electric and requires much less energy since you only have to heat/cool relative to the temperature of the Earth.

Realize that these systems will go up in price along with everything else. If you buy now you "lock in" a lower price per btu for heating/cooling well into the future when the dollar cost will have tripled or quadrupled.

The 10 year treasury yield is up to 3.76%. Just a few days ago it was 3.55% and in April was 2.70%.

And Bernanke was gruffly saying he was personally going to keep rates really low for a long time.

Ha.

I think 4% is about as low as the 10 year should be, and we'd have to push the 30 year back above 5%, even 6%. And he should let the 90-day money go back to 3%++ also.

If (and when) the 10 yeare goes above six percent, that will be a sign of the inflationary apocalypse approaching.

We had the little doggie funeral for my beloved Roswell yesterday. My daughter, her boyfriend, Roswell's regular groomer, and our neighbor Mrs. A all came and we buried him at the local pet cemetery.
I know some jerk somewhere will fault me for spending "all that money" on a little dog when there are poor and needy people, etc., but he was one of God's creatures and a faithful, loving, and endlessly fascinating companion for 15 years.
Besides, I made that money myself; facilitating corporate greed and economic imperialism, oppressing the masses, and exploiting the poor by finding the energy they need for their SUVs and plasma TVs (which nobody, btw, forced them to buy at gunpoint).

You have my condolences. Our aged Shih Tzu has been at death's door three times since December but pulled herself out of her tailspin at the last minute each time. It's wreaking havoc on the whole family's emotions.

Seeing as how this started as a music thread, I'm gonna make an offering. It's in response to Charles' recent featuring of the Finn Brothers, some of which made me think of this album. It's high on my desert island list. Maybe, just maybe, this will be my chance to hip Charles to some music that he likes, but didn't already know about it. I doubt it though. This isn't all that obscure.

Sorry, no video there. Just audio and a chance to stare at the album cover.

re: #123 Shiplord Kirel

I won't fault you. I spent multiple thousands when my Jack Russell died on the necropsy, cremation and burial, not to mention the emergency vet with the no holds barred effort to save him. He had Addison's disease that was misdiagnosed. I loved that dog. Oh he was bad (but house trained!). He was an interior decorating Jack Russell - you never knew what inventive decor he would come up with while you were at work - pillows in different rooms, stuffed animals in the bath tub, he was a riot.

One of my cousins spent most of her adult life in Colorado; but she and her husband managed a motel in Abilene Kansas for a couple years, during which time their beloved dog died. They stored him in the motel freezer for a few months until their next trip back to Colorado. "I loved that dog," she said. "I wasn't about to bury him in Kansas."

Many thanks for your kind responses, folks. It was a real blessing that Roswell was happy and healthy right to the last day of his life, with no chronic illnesses or pain. He was very old though and it was just time for him to go. I like to think that he and his original master, my late wife, have been re-united now. My daughter certainly thinks so.

I like it! We usually put the Kennel name where the dog was whelped first. Like: "Green Acre's No Training Wheels Here" Actually, our breeder requires it --that way it's easier to follow the lineage in the pedigrees and trial results. Most of the time the kennel name is shortened to fit. If you don't show your dogs, it probably doesn't make a difference.
