James W. von Brunn is the sort of individual who gives Radical Right-Wing Extremist Nut Jobs a bad name. I'm going to submit a motion that he be excluded from all future meetings.
Even though he is already 88 years old, I can only hope he survives his gunshot wounds and lives an amazingly long, completely lucid, and miserably pain filled existence. Granted that much, conviction would only be a pleasant bonus.

W.O.R.M.S.
Whip Our Recesion Most Swiftly
Since debasing the currency is clearly of no concern to the current administration, let's go ahead and turn this economy around tomorrow. Two quick steps would put people back in the stores immediately and spur spending like this world has never seen.
Step one - add three zeroes to the balance of every non-commercial bank or savings and loan account in the country. Immediately the housing market rockets to levels never before imagined, and it will be all but impossible to keep merchandise on the shelves.
Step two - send a book of blank Stimulus Checks to every American to be used as they wish. Be sure to include all those non-traditional citizens on the mailing list. Economic stimulus is too important to our survival to discriminate against someone whose only shortcoming is having entered the country illegally and remained here without proper authorization. Not everyone has the luxury of a bank account, and it is important that everyone be able to do their part to drag us away from the abyss! The checks can be written in any amount for any purchase, and the government will honor the transaction.
Lest the business world feel left out, they can agree to a temporary three month period of paying twenty percent of all gross revenues as a special windfall economic stimulus contribution. Foreign bondholders can be paid off and the United States will once again be the dominant economic powerhouse on the planet.
No doubt there are some anti-success economists out there who will wail about inflation and other evils and pitfalls inherent in the plan. They need to get with the program. An era of Change has dawned upon the world, and the old rules simply don't apply any more.
Hail to the Thief . . . er, Chief!

What's the Secret?
There are many "Secret" sites out there, such as PostSecret and SecretTweet just to name two.
What is most interesting about reading these sites is coming to the realization that no matter how "unique" one's personal drama that "no one else has ever experienced or could possibly understand" is, many others are going through exactly the same thing.
Does that diminish or further humanize our pains?

It's What's for Dinner
No, not beef.
The other white meat.
Pork.
Yeah, that's right, I eat pork and continue to do so. Pork spare ribs last night. Pork sausage with breakfast. Pork loin tonight. (Happenstance, not planning or political statement!)
Just because the rest of the planet wants to panic over the fact that "swine" shows up in the name of the flu strain that's out there doesn't mean I have to play. News reports indicate that avian and human flu strain genetic markers are also present. Has anyone checked to make sure that people who have contracted the bug and recovered don't have a sudden compulsion to engage in acts of bestiality?
No? I didn't think so.
Tell the media where they can stick their global panic. Exercise common sense hygiene practices - the same ones you should be exercising without thought even on days we are not all DOOMED TO EXTINCTION BY THE (CATASTROPHE DU JOUR) PANDEMIC!!!
Now, go out there and think for yourself.
Here kitty, kitty, kitty . . . ..
