    Can He Run For Office? An Eleven Year Old I'd Vote For Was On Happy Hour Tonight

    In case I haven't been perfectly clear, let me state it explicitly -- I can't tell a difference between the so-called "left" and the so-called "right".

    The Democrats and Liberals and Left people pretend they have all these principles like being for the little guy and against the big corporation...until they decide to vote for the TARP package that's so far sending $2.25 trillion of your hard-earned tax dollars to the biggest banks and also risking tax dollars by loaning money to the biggest corporations in the world in the commercial paper market.

    And the Republicans and Conservatives and Right people pretend they have all these principles like being for individual accountability and free-markets and small government...until they decide to vote for the TARP package that's so-far socialized trillions of dollars of individual free-market losses and nationalized the entire banking, investment and mortgage industries in, oh, just the last few weeks.

    So I've said it before, and I'll say it again -- vote out every single incumbent, especially those who voted for this ridiculous theft of a bill called TARP.   Vote independent if you can, but vote out the TARP incumbents for sure.

    If you are gonna sell out and vote for one of those colluding Democrat and/or Republican party members how pretend they aren't all on the same team, then check out this lesson I got from an eleven year-old today.  You just gotta love these young students from Ron Clark Academy on Happy Hour today teaching me about the left and right...and then their song at the end?  Classic.  And keep the comments about how bad my dancing is to a minimum, ok?  I was trying to mimic the kids and it took me a minute for crying out loud.  What, am I being defensive?  Watch the clip here.

    PS.  I had the honor of meeting one of my heroes on ABC's 20/20 last week.  Here's the clip of my appearance with John Stossel.

What a great time to invest. All major US automotive companies are on the verge of bankruptcy and we're talking bull market. Proof that the markets have truely lost their reliablity. Loved the kids, just awesome.

Cody: Just thought you'd like to know you received at least one write-in vote in Kentucky's U.S. Senate race. Wouldn't vote for the incumbent (who voted for the bailout) and couldn't hold my nose and vote for his opponent (the lesser of two evils is still evil). Keep up the good work, and give Lobo a scratch for me. jat P.S. -- a shout-out to my hubby, Dan, who turned me on to you!

Been saying for years the 2 party system sucks and I am dang tired of voting for the lesser evil. Jesse Ventura is supposed to run in 2012 at least I can vote then for some one I actually can stomach. The other 2 idiots this year both voted for the TARP and 1 is going to be president. Major cities are all preparing roit squads as they feel no matter what there will be roits after today. Have to wait and see. I just spent the week end cleaning and oilling the guns up just in case. Hope to see y'll on the other side. Keep up the good work Cody and something to invest in the future maybe dance lessons.
