Got a letter published in the New York Post today on the Republican debate on CNBC.

Got a letter to the editor published in New York Post today( 10/30/15) on the Republican debate on CNBC. This is what appear in the:" The lame-stream media was really on display the debate.
 The big loser in Wednesday night's Republican debate was the panel of three moderators.
  Not only were they bias and unprofessional, they also lost control of the debate like I've never seen before.
   All and all, the debate was a food fight not between the candidates, but rather, between the candidates and three moderators. Maybe next time, adults will be the moderators."
These are words of my edited out of letter: As the Sun raises so did the Cubans (Maro Rubio and Ted Cruz) and Jersey Boy (Chris Christie).
Jeb Bush try to bush-whack Rubio but it backfired. Uncle Ben (Carson) was OK and the dump Trump movement didn't gain ground but didn't lose ground either.

Are we edging toward war?

The world maybe edging to war, if the Chinese building islands in the South China Sea claiming waters,hence, putting block on free sea lanes could lead to war.
And Syria where Russian fly boys could shoot down an American plane such things lead to war.Many of war starts by accident remember World War One!

When I went to Donald Trump's parents home.

In the 1970' I went to home of Donald Trump's parent. It was in Jamaica Estate and struck me was the house of outside didn't look that big, but inside it was huge. and ironic that is, the egocentric Donald Trump who is very big in outside and little small on inside.

Got a letter to the Editor published in the Record on 10/19/15 on Ben Carson,guns and the Holocaust.

Got a letter to the Editor published in the Record( the largest newspaper in Northern New Jersey) on 10/19/15 on a reply to piece by Alfred Doblin, "Ben Carson spews dangerous rhetoric about the Holocaust" publish on 12/10/15.
This is what I wrote:" Ben Carson is like Richard Wagner's music: it's not as bad as it sounds. Carson, not being a polished politician, may not give good sound bites. However, if one listens to him for any length of time, one is impressed with his intelligence.
I think Editorial Page Editor Alfred P. Doblin got two thing wrong in his column. One, undoubtedly, is that if Jews has guns, many in Nazi Germany would have been saved. One cannot help but think that if the Jews had been better armed during the Warsaw ghetto uprising, it might have succeeded.
Second, Doblin is wrong about the Founding Fathers.
They believed the right to bear arms was a way the people could protect themselves from tyrannical government."    

Is GE a buy?

GE stock has been moving up since it came out that Nelson Peltz has buying shares.GE earning report just came out a day or so ago, and profits are up.Leaving the financial business which use to be a real cash cow before the financial meltdown now industrial part business that growing. Question is how safe is dividend?    

Wal-mart stock drop six dollars today and in U.K no inflation maybe sign of economy downturn.

Wal-Mart (which many believe to be bellweather of the economy) drop six to 60 in market today. In U.K prices are dropping maybe a sign of downturn in the economy. E.I Lilly drop a lot yesterday because a drug didn't do well, but it's my understanding they have good pipeline for new drugs.
Didn't watch much of Democratic debate last night but what I saw Bernie Sanders stuck me as Howard Beale( the newsman in the movie Network, who famous line was I'm mad as hell and not going to take anymore) Hillary I felt was going to break out in song as sing," I am Woman" the rest are players without a chance. 

Ralph Nader house of horrors.

Only Ralph Nader would celebrate toturous acts. Indeed, his museum of torts, could have easily been created by a grotesque mind of Edgar Allan Poe.
For our cesspool of never ending lawsuits , maybe good for lawyers (that unholy group of people dedicated to making our lives miserable) but for rest of us it's downer.
I worked for Bar Assn.( oh no not that type of bar, however, working with lawyers can drive one to that type of bar) and felt I was living in a Dickens novel with endless rules and paper work and nothing get resolved.

The hypocrisy of the Global Citizen Festival.

Ding-dong we see the march of the phonies with the Global Citizen Festival. Oh yes, its nice to see lovely Beyoncé strut her stuff, but what does that have to do with ending world poverty? Nothing! indeed,many things there advocate will make would make world poverty worse! For example, I am sure there hate a company like Monsanto, yet companies like Monsanto will make the food supply more plentiful, hence, lowing the cost of food and it's the poor that will benefit the most from lower food prices.
Then there is global warming, lets say there are right about Global Warming, scientists who believe in Global Warming( and not all do) tell us even if governments stick to ther promises to reduce carbon emission that would only reduce the temperature   two degrees,however, electric bills would raise far more than that and who will pay for higher electric bill? The poor will pay the piper. People like Beyoncé, Hugh Jackman, Stephen Colbert can afford to pay higher electric bills but the rest of us will be left to sweat. 

Is Paul Ryan the next Gerald Ford?

Is Paul Ryan the Gerald Ford? Here's the similarity, when Spiro Agnew( remember him?) had to resign from being Vice-President the only person Nixon could get through Congress to be Vice-President was Gerald Ford, because everybody like him.Now it seems the only person who Republican can get behind for Speaker is Paul Ryan because people like him.However, if Ryan is like Ford,can work with the other side, people like Rush Limbaugh will have him for lunch.

Is Anthony Eden a forgot great man?

History can be cruel, take Anthony Eden next to Churchill he warn of danger of growing power of Nazi Germany and he was right, but Prime Minster he got involved in Suez crisis  and didn't end well he had to resign and most historians say Eden was one worst P.M in modern history, but wonder looking at mess in Mid-East if Eden wasn't right about Suez.

Is the beer war driving one to drink? And is U.S Steel a steal?

Is the beer war driving one to drink? AB IN Bev wants to takeover MillerCoor. But no go MillerCoor doesn't want the deal.

Is U.S Steel a steal at 12? This stock was over 100 at one time like they deal to takeover Lone Star Steel because Lone Star a railway spur that lead to Mexico.And nonsense of Trump of side Mexico offer good business for U.S Companies.

Is Bernie Sanders the anti JFK?

Is Bernie Sanders the anti JFK? For President John F. Kennedy world view and sense of nation is mile apart from Sanders. For Kennedy in he's inaugural speech said," ASK NOT WHAT YOUR COUNTRY CAN DO FOR YOU- ASK WHAT YOU CAN DO FOR YOUR COUNTRY."
Sanders view of nation is got more government,indeed, ask what your country can do for you.
Also Kennedy's world view was stated in the same inaugural speech these are the words"WE SHALL PAY ANY PRICE, BEAR ANY BURDEN, MEET ANY HARDSHIP, SUPPORT ANY FRIEND, OPPOSE ANY FOE TO ASSURE THE SURVIVAL AND SUCCESS OF LIBERTY."

A letter to the Editor I got published in the Record about Yogi Berra R.I.P

On 10/2/15 I got a Letter to the Editor published in the Record (the largest newspaper in Northern New Jersey) on Yogi Berra R.I.P.
This is what appeared in the paper: If we can put time in a bottle, Yogi Berra's life should be in it. For it was a remarkable life. Indeed, the catcher from the Bronx is more relevant then the "Catcher in the Rye."
For Yogi showed us the way." If one looked at him, he didn't appear to be the great athlete he was, short and stubby and awkward-looking , yet one baseball's great hitters and under tutelage of Dill Dickey, Yogi became a great catcher. For rhyme and fun Yogi was more then a bear, he was a man that touched our souls and he will be part of Americana forevermore."
