This dragon means business. If you're stupid enough to go in a "No Trespassing" zone when you know this dude might be lurking, then God help you for your stupidity.
Hope they don't kill the dragon for defending his, or her, territory...

U.S. - with firms - to buy 'bad' assets
"WASHINGTON (CNNMoney.com) -- The Obama administration on Monday will formally unveil a program to help banks clean up their books by subsidizing private investors' purchase of troubled assets."
Subsidizing private investor's purchases...
"Under the new Public Private Investment Program
(What is a "Public Private Investment Program?" It's either "Public" or Private", right?),
taxpayer funds will be used to seed partnerships with private firms to buy up assets backed by mortgages and other loans."
Using taxpayer dollars...
So when you write that check in April or look at how much money you've paid in to the government this year out of your income, know that what is not already used to support illegal immigrants, is being used to prop up wealthy real estate investors.
This starts off a work week on a useless note. Maybe by the time I get to Thursday, I will be working for me - not illegals, and not wealthy, greedy, ignorant investors.

Sarah Palin - One Sick Bitch
From: Defenders of Wildlife
There is NO REASON IMAGINABLE for this level of violence against ANY LIVING THING!
When people think of Alaska, they think of its amazing wildlife and natural beauty. But Alaska has a terrible secret: Each year, the state permits private citizens to chase down and kill dozens of wolves using low-flying aircraft and high-powered rifles.
Alaska Governor Sarah Palin and anti-wolf officials in the state have worked hard to obscure the truth about the aerial gunning program, even going so far as to earmark $400,000 in state funds to "educate" Alaskans about the state's baseless aerial gunning program.
This woman must be stopped - she is totally out of control.
Take action, NOW!

Something has to change and fast....
Climate is #1 threat to polar bears
Photo: By Jonathan Hayward, The Canadian Press/AP
I can not believe anyone can look at this picture and not want to do whatever they can to help these animals. However, if the comments on USA Today are any indication, many of the uneducated have swallowed the Kool-Aid and feel that higher gas prices will be the major human "cost."
This is not only a selfish but short-sighted and erroneous response to the problem. No matter the ignorance of Governor Palin who decides that there is and then isn't global warming based on her current self-interest, there is the potential loss of this great animal, forever, in North America.
The storyline fed to many is that Exxon and every other gas and oil lease company in the US HAS to drill and explore and rape and pillage the land in order to keep fuel prices down. This is not true. Every consumer has a huge ability to make long-term decreases in what we use which lessens the power of the fictitious stories fed to the masses by the oil and gas industries.
It may be easier for some to play deaf, dumb and blind...dumb being the operative word if corrections are not made in the way we make use of the natural resources we have available. Time will soon be running out for more than polar bears if not.

Mexican's Bully Mentality
Mexico to raise tariffs on US exports
Mexico' officials are going to raise tariffs on 90 exports to the US because:
"The new trade measures are in retaliation for the cancellation earlier this year of a U.S. commercial trucking project and will target U.S. industrial and agricultural products delivered to Mexico, Mexico's state-run news agency said."
Meaning: We fought so hard to keep their unregistered trucks from driving on US roads beyond a specified commercial zone.
These are trucks that are not required to comply with US rules for emissions, insurance or anything else the average legal American driver is required to meet. This would have been simply an approved method for allowing more Mexican illegal activity in this country and it was rightly, denied.
It shows the bully mentality of the Mexican government, which already has the US supporting so much of it's "native" population, that their first response is retaliatory. Their Export Secretary sounds like he has drug cartel training. NOT what we want in this country - enough already...
Too bad no one in a role to make a difference will just tell them to keep their exports until they can act more civilized.

Nothing but contempt for all legal US citizens
Citizens, illegal immigrants jostle for jobs
Once again, this particular reporter for the Raleigh, North Carolina News & Observer conveniently adds and then deletes the word "illegal" before the word "immigrant" - depending on what slant she wants to promote. This is a major part of the problem revolving around this whole issue of immigration.
Legal US citizens should NOT:
I am not an idiot and neither are you. I know what the word illegal means and I know I am not supposed to take part in anything that is. Now, my country, the United States of America, is telling me that not only is illegal GOOD for me, but that I have to support it with my tax dollars.
The government confirmed this again this past week by removing the requirement for employers to use the E-Verify system before getting any stimulus (read tax) dollars. This means an employer can get free money and STILL not have to use the system to verify a legally-hired worker - and they do NOT have to use the very system OUR tax dollars paid to have developed.
They are playing us all as fools. They take our hard-earned money in ever-increasing taxes and use it to constantly bolster people who should not even BE in the United States.
Most of the media is either biased towards illegals or flat out lying about the true cost of this problem. Citizens are forced to pay for illegals, while they send money back to Mexico. Why not? They don't need it here!
I really think it is time for a revolution.....

Legal US citizens should NOT:
- be footing the bill for illegal's health care
- be taxed for schools for illegal's children
- be competing for jobs with illegal workers
- be expected to condone illegal activity through enforced taxation
- be TOLD that we "need" illegal workers
- be treated with such total contempt and lack of respect

Increase in foreclosures should be a given...
Rise in foreclosures a shock
Considering the direction of the finances of this country and it's citizens for the last 4+ years, it is hard to see why anyone would be shocked at the current situation.
Housing valuations went through the roof in 2005 and 2006. People living in the "here and now" and using little common sense, refinanced every dime they could get from their homes - based on unrealistic values provided by the real estate industry and it's appraisers.
Mortgage lenders stepped in to build the calamity by providing easy loans and quick cash to those with minimal proof of ability to re-pay. Why?
Because they received fees from every single loan they placed.
Then the real estate market began to return to reality. However, the economy itself, stressed by the real estate, mortgage, banking and finance anomalies, went into a nosedive. People began losing jobs. All that "cash-out" money is now tied to high interest credit debt - not even tax deductible - as was the mortgage interest.
So now people have a $200,000 mortgage on a house worth $150,000. They have a new car payment and a bunch of new credit card debt for all the new toys they bought.
I'm sorry but I feel NO PAIN for these people. You were living in a dream world when you refinanced - while you were on that Bahamas vacation, I was not. Now you'll have to suffer your own consequences for poor decision-making and for letting yourselves be manipulated by the government, the banks, your realtors, and your mortgage brokers.
