Yesterday, all my dreams.....

-To be honest, the frig is still stocked, and I only watched snapshots of the DNC Convention, last evening.  Rather than waste a complete evening, my wife picked up some DVDs earlier in the day.  Now she is not deeply involved in geo-political issues as I,  she never the less selected one DVD, entitled, "The Iron Lady".
A title the press/others gave Margaret Thatcher, the PM of England, during the Reagann years.  She, Reagann, and Pope John Paul II  history records,  were the driving force in the defeat of Communism.  She was one tough Conservative, the only lady in a highly socializeed Parliament.  Her battles chiefly were with her own countrymen, similar to the policital stage in America today.
-My take away from the DNC last night:  More BS than substance. What the various speakers said was elementary,  regardless the author or pass the facts check , that all things can be accomplished by "government investment" i.e. more taxes and spending.  The magic aanswer,  tax only the top one or two percent solves everything. ..<$100 B/10yrs.  Sure thing Mr President.  Where did the $10.3B go, the HSS reported collected in the last 3 years by clamping down on Medicare/Medicaid fraud.?
-MamaO got high marks for her speech about pp.  I ask, if not her who else knows these details.  VJ in the WH?   But you know something...she didn't write that speech, someone else did it for her, I bet.
-Here is something you might not know, the $16Tdebt was reached last Friday, but Treasury decided to hold release of info until and  after the Labor Day week-end, just before commencement of the Convention?
Tonight they roll out the Keynote Speaker, the grey haired, red faced "The Zipper".  I suppose, by magic, the Zipper will set the table to recreate the 1990's economy into the second decade of another century.  Do you know this, the Zipper didn't create the 1990's economy boom someone else did.  Congress,set the stage,  another Bill (Gates) harnessed the Internet, so joe blow ( maybe that not a good analogy, J.Q. Public) could use it, Windows was invented.  Billion upon billions of dollars were expended, both private and public, to avoid a computer crash -- when the clock ticked to Yr 01/01/2000 ( didn't happen) plus all the New Century  parties here and around the world created a boom in it's self.  It also happened when the Zipper and Greenspan began to fettle with the economic cycle,  increase tax if economy rose is too fast and reduce credit when the economy begins to tilt downward.  Since interest rates were so low, people spent there money rather that to save.  Plastic money took off  like a rocket.  And anyone could purchase a home if they could afford it or not, and we know the result in 2008 and still today.
-Don't be surprised come Thursday evening when the DNC moves to the BOA Panther Stadium for pp's acceptance speech.  pp will be  dressed in just a Depends Dipper siting cross-legged on a rug in the middle of the football field on the 50 yard line, in deep prayer .  No one is on the field except pp and Merlin the Magician.  Wild beasts, of all sorts , circle the new Gondi , and Merlin the Magician., as he prepares to read from parchment paper, a text he didn't write himself,  but someone else did it for him.  Trumpets on high , blare >85dBA  at a 1000 ft distance for an hour (outside acceptable OSHA limits and punishment by fine or iimprisonment or both to someone in charge. That seems to be the problem, who is in charge?)  The New Gondi begins to speak, Merlin the Magician continues to stands to his left side approximately where Clint Eastwood empty chair stood at the RNC.  The 75,000+ people in the stadium watch on jumbo ddigital TV of a speck on the field.  New Gondi speaks, the speakers blare,  but no one can hear him for the hour long ttrumpets deadens there hearing and Merlin the Magician can not cast a spell to unplug the aattendees ears. pp is hoping that another Hurricane Isaac to appear soon.  Let the game begin!
-High twitter response reported by FSC, during MamaO speech.  But no one knows who these people are, maybe they are kids < voting age, or just having fun screwing up the stats, but definitely a younger generation and more response that recorded at the RNC.
