Wall Street Was Stunned. Washington Was Stunned. Everyone Was Stunned.

To win this election (which is not to imply that his winning the election would do us much good, mind you), John McCain needs to hammer the fact that he was calling for regulatory reform of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac for years -- that the folks who stood in the way of that reform were the Democrats who were on the payoff list, big time, for the lobbyists and PACs of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac: Chris Dodd, Barack Obama, John Kerry, Hillary Clinton.

And he needs to announce that his first appointment will be a secretary of the treasury who still wants to know why we need a "Federal Reserve Board" to replace real gold and silver money with increasingly worthless green fiat "dollar" coupons, at all -- Republican Congressman Ron Paul.

But he won't do that, will he? They wouldn't even let poor little Sarah Palin point out that global warming -- which is a good thing since it will allow us to grow wheat 50 miles further north, but unfortunately isn't likely to last long -- has nothing to do with "man-made greenhouse gases."

WALL STREET WAS STUNNED

Am disappointed in the recommendation of Ron Paul for SecT. No sir, not by a long shot, someone is needed who really does know the financial ropes. My choice is Michael Bloomberg. Don't argue politics with me. Argue proven records and businesses built.

Bloomberg? Gag me with a spoon.

Bloomberg? Gag me with a spoon. That guy should be tried for treason for all his anti-gun nonsense in NYC. I'll gladly volunteer for the firing squad that carries out his sentence.
