Maggie's Farm

We are a commune of inquiring, skeptical, politically centrist, capitalist, anglophile, traditionalist New England Yankee humans, humanoids, and animals with many interests beyond and above politics. Each of us has had a high-school education (or GED), but all had ADD so didn't pay attention very well, especially the dogs. Each one of us does "try my best to be just like I am," and none of us enjoys working for others, including for Maggie, from whom we receive neither a nickel nor a dime. Freedom from nags, cranks, government, do-gooders, control-freaks and idiots is all that we ask for.

Wall St. Fun

Palin: How Congress Occupied Wall Street - Politicians who arrive in Washington as men and women of modest means leave as millionaires. Why?


And this: Damn It Feels Good to be a Banker. I'd rather be a kick-ass banker than a Consultant - or an OWS lowlife, but really do not wish to be any of those things:

Palin's column, in a sane world, would leave me optimistic that her line of reasoning could be the string that ties the TEA Party and the OWS "movement" (those two or three articulate members, at least) together in an effort to truly reform things. The root cause is, after all, the career politicians, the Barney Franks and Richard Nixons all. I'm not confident it is a sane world.

The 17th Amendment was a game changer for this young Republic. If you haven't watched this previously posted video interview yet, do it now.

Now, excuse me while I put on some Bob to get that rap tune out of my head.
