The republicans are turning our country into a communist country with the constant excuse of fighting terrorism. The president can lock people up forever without a right of appeal, and he can wiretap whomever he chooses. This way if he is doing something amoral he can always cover his tracks. The Republicans are taking away our rights, and turning this country into a communist country.

Goal Is To Raise $500,000 In One Day
"They Have Waited Long Enough"
August 21, 2006 - (NASHVILLE, Tenn.) - Recent Rock-n-Roll Hall of Fame inductees Lynyrd Skynyrd and hot country duo Big & Rich will team up with KICKS 101.5 and the Eagle 106.7 at the HiFi Buys Amphitheatre in Atlanta, Georgia on Saturday, October 7, 2006 at 6:00PM (doors at 4:00PM), for a fundraising concert that will include performances by John Anderson, Cowboy Troy, The Lost Trailers and others. All profits from the show will go to the building fund for the 173rd Airborne Brigade National Memorial. The memorial is to be built at the new National Infantry Museum campus in Ft. Benning, Georgia. The goal is to raise $500,000 in one day. Tickets are available through www.TicketMaster.com for pre-sale, Wednesday, August 23, 2006 at 10:00 AM EDT thru Thursday, August 24, 2006 at 10:00 PM EDT and to the general public, Friday, August 25, 2006 at 4:00 PM EDT. Prices range from $15 lawn tickets to $1000 VIP packages that included premium seating, an autographed guitar and a private event with the artists. (tickets available for $15, $30, $45, $60, $150 & $1000)
"They have waited long enough," stated John Rich of Big & Rich. "We're just glad we are in a position to help these guys out," chimed in his partner Big Kenny. "These guys have put their lives on the line and over 1700 members of the 173rd have lost their lives serving this country. When we heard that they expected it to take 3 - 5 years of a capital fundraising campaign to build the memorial we decided we had to find a way to raise the money in one day. Then the guys in Skynyrd heard about it and we decided we'd jump in on their scheduled concert down there and now it's growing everyday. We look forward to an amazing show," continued Rich.
"Lynyrd Skynyrd is honored to be part of this event," said Johnny Van Zant of Lynyrd Skynyrd. "It's the least we can do to help build a memorial for the 173rd Airborne who have lost so many and helped protect this country. We look forward to sharing the stage with Big & Rich and playing for one of our favorite towns - Atlanta, GA. It's been too long!"
Originally, October 7 was scheduled to be a Lynyrd Skynyrd show at the HiFi Buys Amphitheater and Big & Rich were looking at October 8 for an event in Atlanta. When the legendary band heard about the proposed event they gave up their paid date to join forces with Big Kenny and Rich for what is turning into an amazing lineup.
"We thought raising funds for the memorial could take five years or more. Now, because we can make it happen in one night, many more Sky Soldiers will be able to see its dedication," said Terry Modglin president of the 173rd Airborne Brigade National Memorial Foundation.
The memorial to the 173rd Airborne Brigade has been in discussion for the past two decades. Its design was recently approved and the location at the National Infantry Museum at Ft. Benning was chosen. It will feature a central circle with all the names of those from the brigade and allied forces who have lost their lives or are missing in action inscribed along with key brigade achievements. The centerpiece will include a column that rises above the memorial as a beacon topped by a steel sculpture of the wing and sword, central elements of the Brigade shoulder patch. Construction of the project is expected to take 12 to 18 months after funds are raised. With an estimated budget of $650,000 everyone involved was making plans for a long-term fundraising effort when Big Kenny and Rich stepped in.
"We knew we wanted to do something to help," said Marc Oswald, Big & Rich's manager. "So I picked up the phone and called Victor Sansone, who runs KICKS and the EAGLE down in Atlanta, and is a Vietnam veteran himself. He had already expressed to the guys and me that he felt like '8th of November' was an important song. So I knew he was the right guy to talk to and in the right place to do a show. It was a short conversation. I barely got the idea out before he said 'I'm in. Just tell me what we need to do.'"
"Marc had me at hello," said Sansone, president and general manager, WKHX and WYAY Atlanta. "This was honestly an easy decision for our staff and a natural extension to the commitment that Big and Rich have made in bringing closure to Niles Harris. The timely tribute that we are able to give to the 173rd in its entirety, is flawed only by the five-year timetable they originally anticipated. It's heartwarming that everyone in this loop from Hi-Fi Buys to radio to Lynyrd Skynyrd, John Anderson and the Lost Trailers...simply everyone's immediate reaction is 'Let's get it done...NOW.' And we will."
Ranked as one of the best-selling artists of all time by the Recording Industry Association of America and recent Rock & Roll Hall of Fame Inductee's, Lynyrd Skynrd is still going strong with almost 65 albums recorded, 26 million sold to date, and over 80 performances annually. The band is currently writing the follow-up to Vicious Cycle, the band's May 2003 release on Sanctuary Records that spawned the single "Red White and Blue," which was the band's strongest in over 25 years. To date, the Southern anthem "Sweet Home Alabama" has passed the 1,000,000 mark in downloaded master ringtones, proving that Lynyrd Skynyrd is a major industry icon that appeals to all generations.

A truly recession proof play:

http://www.yikers.com/video_guy_hack...ree_money.html

[Thierry Martin]

of course these folks are bullish on PMs (kitco is a bullion dealer) but filter the noise and look at the credit market debt vs GDP as % graph:

BIG PICTURE –The US is widely adored as the world’s greatest empire, yet few realise that the emperor has no clothes. As the masses look up to the nation in admiration, they are fooled into believing that it is swimming in wealth; the reality being that it is up to its eyeballs in debt. The US economy is living on borrowed time and judgement day is inevitable. No nation in history has ever managed to escape such economic imbalances and I suspect the US won’t get away with it either. Let’s take a look at how this imaginary cloak has been woven:
The economic recovery since the 2001 recession has been manufactured by excessive credit-growth and consumption. For the first time ever, a central bank has purposely engineered a credit bubble with the intention of bringing artificial prosperity via rising asset-prices. The Federal Reserve dropped interest-rates and the majority of Americans became the proverbial kids in the candy store, unable to resist the temptation of cheap credit. This is evident from the fact that over the past 6 years, US household debt soared from $6.99 trillion to almost $12 trillion – a staggering increase of 70%! However, some economists today discard this record debt-explosion as irrelevant because the net-worth of US households over the same period has surged from $42 trillion to roughly $54 trillion (largely due to the housing boom). In other words, due to rampant credit and leverage in the economy, asset-prices have risen much more rapidly than debt levels. But the key question is whether this is sustainable and at what cost?
In my opinion, asset-prices can continue to rise for a long time if there are willing borrowers and a central bank armed with an endless supply of credit. However, you have to understand that rising asset-prices only give the illusion of prosperity. The truth is that rapid monetary inflation and credit growth always impoverish a society as money becomes abundant and therefore less valuable. So, everyone may feel richer as their homes and stock portfolios appreciate in value, but it’d be a mistake to confuse rising asset-prices in an economy with real wealth creation. After all, wealth is a relative concept and if everyone else’s homes have also risen in value, how wealthy have you really become?

Given the levels of debt in the US, I have no doubt that the Federal Reserve wants to keep the game going for as long as possible. It will achieve this by continuing to inflate the supply of money and credit. Under this scenario, the US dollar will surely depreciate against other major world currencies and especially against precious metals whose supply can’t be increased at the same pace.
In order to assess the US economy’s prospects, the most important issue to understand is that the recent economic expansion hasn’t been typical. The US wage growth has been extremely poor and the capital spending by American companies has also been dismal. In fact, real disposable income growth is now almost zero and over the past 5 years, capital spending has increased by a paltry 12%. So far, the US consumer alone has carried the baton through record-high indebtedness and consumer-spending; with home prices no longer appreciating, you have to wonder where the future borrowing-power will come from.
In my view, the US looks more and more like a bubble economy, a banana republic of some sorts, which is desperate for ever-rising asset-prices for its very survival. Should American home and stock prices stall, let alone decline, the fate of this great bubble will be sealed. Depreciating asset-prices will act like a dagger in the heart of this artificial recovery, so the Federal Reserve must continue to inflate at all costs.

Figure 1 clearly shows that in the US, the total debt as a percentage of GDP is currently at an all-time high. It is worth noting that the last time the US faced a meaningful contraction in debt relative to the size of its economy, it coincided with the depression years of the 1930’s. So, you can bet your farm that Mr. Bernanke & Co. will try their best to avoid a repeat of such a disaster by continuing to aid deficit spending through their ultra-loose monetary policies.
Figure 1: Gigantic debt-bubble in the US!

Darn, I did not know this: "Mad Money's producer used to oversee the Jerry Springer Show" http://www.kiplinger.com/personalfin...09/cramer.html

As a Cramer Robot, here are some of his Nasties I live by:

>Bottom Spotting:"There was no reason to panic and sell the stock, but panic [people] did" as analysts "knocked it down with their downgrades," Cramer said -- The lesson to be learned is that people should pay close attention to analysts as their comments, upgrades and downgrades can affect stock prices, but folks shouldn't just blindly follow what analysts advise -- "Bottoms are created by too much negativity," Cramer said, adding that when there is this type of "bear raid," people should do their own homework on the company and stock -- "When you see a stock hit with multiple downgrades and it plummets -- that's when you should swing into action and see if it deserves to be down or if it's just because of the analysts."

>Speculating
Penny Stocks: companies with no earnings or issues trading on the Pink Sheets, a loosely regulated trading system that handles mainly small firms -- Avoid those, along with the names traded by way of the over-the-counter Bulletin Board, he said.

"There's a sweet spot in the speculation business -- the $2 to $10 spot," he said. "This is where you'll make all the money." Should there be a stock that interests an investor but trades above $10, "you might want to consider using options to speculate." As on the previous show, Cramer emphasized that speculation must be done only with discretionary money -- that is, money that won't be missed if it's lost -- and never money in a retirement account. Speculative stocks grow very quickly, but they can die very quickly as well, meaning investors must keep an eye on what he called the life cycle of the company.

Out of desperation, I "Googled" this: "faith healers and stocks" and came across a new help: here's hoping...

Dear Reverend <John Doe>:

Through Pay Pal, I am sending you $19.95 to pray over my stock symbol "q," whch goes up and down in the $8.75 to $9 range--I need for it to break through its 52 week high of $9.22...Can you help?

With kindest regards,
Z

My Dear Z:

Thank you for the email and your love offering. I have added Quest's stock symbol to the "cemetery." During trading hours, I raise dead stock. FYI, when this occurs, normally, the stock holder sends another love offering of 10% of the amount earned, because, obviously, my service is prayer intensive.

Can I have a witness,

I bought a package of 12 Dollar General razors for, dah, a dollar

Right off, I was obviously pleased to get two bonus razors!

(There is a gawd, and he is just at times)

The basic metric here then is hard to establish, because, obviously 12/$1 does not work--I am not sure how to factor in those 2 bonus blades to get a solid metric

I also sported for a can of Gunk Liquid Wrench, which is DG's knock off of WD-40 (sorry, my Master (Cramer), I did not go for Best of Breed) at $1.50

I bought one can of DG shaving lather for $1

Thus, the next metric is Tot Cost ($3.50) compared to CVS's $6.49

Once in the shower, I lather up and move to my next metric I am testing: how long should I wait before shaving after lathering up...I am sensing the metric here is 61.98723 seconds--but I have not completed my homework, so I could be wrong (Master Cramer is no help, alas)

Once I complete a Shave, I scrub down the razor, dry it, and then give it a good squirt of Gunk, for I have established what dulls a razor is oxidation and not shave-qua-shave (to be philosophical)

Once a week, I run my DG razor through the dishwasher (along with all my dishes) to give the blade what in the car biz is called Detailing...Once done, two squirts of Gunk for the "shine."


I can report my razor is going strong after 3-months! And in this Conference Call, I expect this razor to last through the next quarter. I am still establishing in my R&D program how many squirts of Gunk is in a can, as well as in the shaving cream can. With powerful savings in sight, the upcoming holiday season should be more joyous with the added $0.08 I am saving Total Costs Per Shave. DG razors, Gunk, and shaving cream are definite buys at this time!

Pirate Capital Says Half of Investment Staff Resigns (Update4)
By Katherine Burton and Jenny Strasburg
Sept. 28 (Bloomberg) -- Pirate Capital LLC, a $1.7 billion hedge fund, said five of its 10 investment professionals resigned or were fired, two weeks after the firm came under regulatory scrutiny for possible securities-law violations.
Pirate founder Thomas Hudson, in a letter sent today to investors, didn't say what led to the departures. He'll close the Norwalk, Connecticut-based firm's funds to new investments, and concentrate on managing money rather than courting clients and overseeing his staff, according to the letter.
``My goal is to focus on returns, not the size of the assets we manage,'' he wrote.
Pirate may have violated securities rules by belatedly disclosing the sales of its stakes in OSI Restaurant Partners Inc. and Freightcar America Inc., lawyers not involved in the matter said earlier this month. The firm said it eventually publicly reported the stock sales after being contacted by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission.
The SEC is investigating Pirate, according to a person with direct knowledge of the probe, who declined to be identified because the inquiry isn't public.
Hudson, 40, built a reputation as an activist investor by taking stakes in companies and pressing for changes to boost their stock prices. Recent campaigns against companies including James River Coal Co. and GenCorp Inc. have fallen short.
Hudson declined to comment when contacted by e-mail.
`Mischaracterization'
The letter said analysts Zachary George and David Lorber resigned on Sept. 26, and Carl Klein, the firm's fixed-income portfolio manager, quit the next day. Hudson then fired analysts David Muccia and Matthew Goldfarb, the letter said. All will leave after a 30-day transition.
``What Hudson wrote in the letter to investors is a blatant mischaracterization of the circumstances of our departure,'' Goldfarb and Muccia said during a phone call this evening. ``We are currently exploring appropriate legal remedies.''
Still at Pirate are Stephanie Tran, Peter Desloge, Glenn Haberfield and Chadd Kirk, according to the letter. Hudson said he may hire a new analyst.
At the end of August, the firm's Jolly Roger domestic fund was up 3.3 percent for the year, while the offshore fund returned 5.2 percent. Both the onshore and offshore Activist funds had climbed about 2.8 percent. That's below the 5.8 percent average return of equity hedge funds this year, according to Hedge Fund Research Inc. in Chicago.
Holdings Decline
Shares of companies that are among the funds' largest holdings declined today. CEC Entertainment Inc., the Irving, Texas-based owner and franchiser of Chuck E. Cheese pizza restaurants, fell 2.7 percent to $31.92 at 4:16 p.m. in New York Stock Exchange composite trading. Pirate held 3 million shares, or 9 percent, as of August, according to regulatory filings.
Shares of PW Eagle Inc., a Eugene, Oregon-based maker of polyvinyl pipes for water and sewage systems, fell 3.9 percent to $29.98 in Nasdaq Stock Market trading. Pirate owned 2.7 million shares, or 22 percent, as of this month.
Pirate owned 7 million shares, or 10 percent, of CKE Restaurants Inc., the Carpinteria, California-based parent of Carl's Jr. and Hardee's restaurants. The shares fell 2.5 percent to $16.61 on the New York Stock Exchange.
In a September newsletter for investors, Hudson called James River Coal the ``shipwreck of the month.'' He pushed the Richmond, Virginia-based company to add three new board members in August. The stock has since tumbled 28 percent.
Earlier this year, Pirate won a proxy contest at GenCorp Inc., a defense contractor based in Rancho Cordova, California, gaining three board seats. The shares are trading at $13.06, down from the firm's average cost of $13.50 a share.
Hudson, who has more than 90 percent of his own net worth in the fund, said he would hold a conference call for clients on Oct. 3.
