SLICK WILLY & THE BILLIONAIRE

Isn't it amazing that Bill Clinton left the White House with a zero bank account and today thanks to friends like (pictured above)

Ron Burkle who is worth billions has given Clinton millions in banks stashed away all over the world. Today's expose on this amazing come back kid in the Wall Street Journal reads like pure fiction. Burkle who has raised millions for the Clinton's elections put his pal (Bill) on the board of his company called "Yucaipa" where they buy out companies & then sell them off to the wolves.....One being Wild Oats Markets. Clinton is just a poster boy for the company and makes appearances at their social functions to impress the gawkers who invest. Here is where it gets really interesting......Mr Clinton is one of three owners of the global fund designed by Mr Burkle. Guess who #3 is?Mohammad bin Rashid al- Maktoum who is the ruler of Dubai. Now that his big fat mouthed wife is making her power play for President, Bill needs to cut ties with his pals because these activities of sovereign wealth funds & giant pools of cash will become a major stumbling block for her chances to win. Bill Clinton's cut would bring him 20 million from the sale of the grocery chain. Where is all that cake Mr Clinton? His handlers say that he still has not settled the issue of his payout. His speeches around the world have earned the disgraced President tens of millions.....But the ruler of Dubai's pay day to Clinton is a big fat number. Interesting huh?

THE ULTIMATE QUESTION I HAVE FOR YOU.....

This is a photo taken of a In n Out Burger location in the Palm Springs area...It is located right off the freeway....Very busy intersection. Now here's the question I have.....If you notice in the photo, located right next to the famous In n Out is a Carls Jr Burger....I think there is also a Taco fast food joint that is also located on this freeway off ramp. OK...I can see if a customer has the total craves for a lousy Taco.....but lets face the facts....why would anyone with half their wits drive into a Carls Jr when there is a In n Out right next door???? Of course the parking lot was jammed at In n Out....and maybe one car in Carls Jr......But I gotta tell ya....This is a true mystery to me. Yes ..I had a double animalized.

WATCHING HILLARY CRUMBLE

Last night I was one of the few (I'm sure) that sat through both debates of Dems & Repubs....I thought Charlie Gibson was going to fall asleep before me! The GOP hopefuls were at least straight forward and threw out their positions on the issues. I thought Mitt Romney looked the most like a leader in this debate.
Let's face it, this guy saved Staples, saved the Olympics from financial disaster and charted many companies from the deep red to black...and was a like able Gov. Romney is a smart cookie and would make an excellent Pres. Yeah he has flipped on some issues, but who hasn't? They are Politicians for crying out loud! Rudy looked good, McCain appeared very old to me which will hurt him with the influx of young voters this time around. Ol Huck is a mystery to me.
I think he will find New Hampshire (liberal state) to be a tougher battle field than Iowa. Now let's turn to the Dems.....It was embarrassing watching that line up of nothing but blah blah blah.......They all pounded the desk a few times and the word "CHANGE" must of been thrown out at least 1,000 times. Not one of them gave a straight view on anything....Bill Richardson looks stupid at this point. Obama really appeared like a cigarette junkie that needed a smoke....Hillary is the most plastic - phony political aspiring hack I have seen.
Loved it when she got real angry & started shouting with that loud obnoxious voice. My God this woman is so dreadful. After watching her over the last year wearing her man clothes, the cackle laugh, the bullshit she vomits daily, the flips & flops.....I FORGIVE Bill Clinton. Nothing made me happier to see that bitch go down in flames (3rd horse!) .........Now she looks desperate with her jabbing at ol Obama. Ya got to hand it to this guy....He has never been held to the fire to get a straight answer on anything, he has hardly any sense of humor,
he has no track record and the voters are checking off his name!
This is a total mystery to me. The young voters like him, because most of them do not read a newspaper and get their information from John Stewart and MTV. They have also forgotten a day in history Sept 11. We better have someone this time around that has balls of steel and it sure isn't Clinton or Obama. Back to Gibson who has to win an Emmy for being the most boring moderator in election history. My bet on this Primary is Obama winning again by a few votes and Romney picking up some steam....Maybe McCain. If they are so stupid to give Huck the nod....GOP is in major trouble. I just hope for Clinton to have another screaming fit in her hotel suite on primary night! The BEST!

A CHAPTER LOST IN TIME..........

This is the movie theatre that I went to as a kid growing up in a cool neighborhood in Portland Or. This movie theatre is still there and pretty much looks the same as when the guys would walk up (or parents would drive us) and see a double feature. What happened to "Double Features" anyway? The first movie was usually a "B" grade sci-fi film with actors you recognized but never knew their names. Then there was the intermission so the weird candy guy that looked totally crazy would load us up with pop & junk to eat during the movie we REALLY came to see. We were still going to this theatre during junior high and that's when it did not matter what movie was showing! We were there for one thing....I don't have to waste your valuable blog reading time for you to get my drift on this.......Today when you walk into the historic Moreland Theatre you see the seats torn, carpet has almost evaporated into the floor, a few light bulbs are out....but that is OK because it has not turned into a Gap or a Starbucks (even though they are across the street!).......And the best news is.....The Moreland still smells like going to the movies by the aroma of the popcorn popping in the old school machine they have there. I hope this wonderful memory of my childhood will still exist for future generations to understand and enjoy what going to the movies is really about. I would like to add to this blog that both of my kids who are now grown also have fond memories of this movie theatre from their childhood. Oh...and YES they play cartoons before the show begins....figure that!

PLEASE MR. POSTMAN..............

We can't keep our doors open at night.....We have alarms in our homes....Mace spray on key chains.......and identity theft is on the rampage ....WE HAVE THIS!

Look at the photos I took (above) at our local drive-up and inside the Post Office. We drive up to send off some U.S. Mail and what do we find????? The mail was so over-flowing it was a pick-heyday for a crook to grab at least 50-60 pieces of mail...and by just reaching in, they could grab hand fills of more personal mail. There was no way I would drop mail at the drive-up, so I pulled up and walked in and what do I see? MAIL OVER-FLOWING INSIDE THE POST OFFICE!!!!!!!!!!! Imagine the I.D theft bonanza a crook could have...or just someone interested in opening other peoples personal mail!!! This was not the first time I have seen this, and it was not just during the busy holiday Xmas card mailing season. The Post Office should have someone pulling the mail more often that twice a day & hardly never on weekends.

Thank's for reading! On another note....Last night was New Years Eve and dear friends invited us over to listen to this.....SMOKE A CIGAR IN THEIR BEAUTIFUL LIVING ROOM!!!!!!!!!!!!! How enjoyable was that experience?
Damn Enjoyable! Cheers to 08.
