“In a country where the sole employer is the State, opposition means death by slow starvation. The old principle: who does not work shall not eat, has been replaced by a new one:

who does not obey shall not eat.” Trotsky

Political Correctness is a doctrine, fostered by a delusional, illogical minority, and rabidly promoted by an unscrupulous mainstream media, which holds forth the proposition that it is entirely possible to pick up a turd or stick of dynamite by the safe end. - unknown

Gun Control: The theory that a woman found dead in an alley, raped and strangled with her own pantyhose, is somehow morally superior to a woman explaining to police

how her attacker got that fatal bullet wound.

Even Rarer Earth (not the band)

Back in February of last year, we at Sharky&Sharky warned of an impending crisis related to rare earth mineral production. (See The Dearth Of Rare Earth story) Well dear readers, the chicken has come home to roost. China announced today that the Chinese government has expropriated the entire industry due to "illegal" strip mining and it's resultant pollution. You have to wonder how someone can keep a strip mine hidden.


In addition, Hu Jintao reminded us, the U.S., that China intends to reduce production of said mines by 10% this year. Whoops - looks like that Prius or GM (Government Motors) Volt just got a whole lot more expensive. Not to mention the cost of all the high-tech gadgets we have come to love and depend on. So not only are we logarithmically adding to our Chinese debt, but soon we won't be able to afford the computers to calculate the interest on it.

We hate to pat ourselves on the back - but don't say we didn't warn ya'.
