We will know the advent of the End Times by many signs, among which will sadly be great apostasies. We can rejoice, too, as there will also be a great harvest of souls for God's Kindom.

That so-called "donation" of $5.00 for non-game and endangered wildlife, is that something you can decline to pay? If not, then it is no donation at all, but is infact a coerced fee.

I haven't watched TV since analog broadcasting was put out to pasture, but when I watched late night TV, it was The Late Late Show with Craig Ferguson on CBS. I don't know if he's still on the air, but he's the guy I'd move to a more prime time spot if I were a TV executive.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu was too much the gentleman to bring Obama through a back door and make him wait while he finished his lunch.

Any Cypriot that leaves any money at all in any bank after this close call is an idiot. I would take all my money out of any bank, and, in fact, I have taken all cash out of all my American banks. I put it in a credit union, but I expect that Obama will attempt to take that money, too. So, the ultimate plan is to retire next year and liquidate all of my holdings and just go back overseas to live out my remaining years as an expatriate.

Interesting. I'd like to see Holder's net worth before and after his AG stint. Indeed, anyone who runs for public office should be required to show their entire life's financial spread sheets. Should any of them enjoy windfall profits during their terms in office, there would have to be a whole lot of explaining.

Regardless, I am making plans to close all my bank accounts and rely solely on my credit union accounts. I am also planning to retire next year (years ahead of schedule), at which time I will withdraw all of my Roth IRA funds (paying whatever penalty necessary) in order to secure my funds from this rogue administration's plot to nationalize all private retirement accounts. Moreover, I am planning to return to life abroad (where I have already lived for 20 years -- 12 active duty military and 8 as an expatriate) -- where I will be free of any of the Democrat's proposed taxes on financial transactions. These asshats are messing with a financial system that will cease to function when everyone realizes that their money is not safe.

I've already taken action. I now have no funds in any bank account. As soon as I can, I will withdraw every penny from my Roth IRA, too. I have no confidence in a government run by thieves.

I guess your keyboard quit working after your complaint, because your whole solution to the problem is missing.

It's not pirates I'd worry about; it's Muslim terrorists looking to score another PR triumph against capitalism I'd worry about. They would be seeking to board to take bootie and hostages; they'd just be all about making the thing sink in a spectacular manner.

Thank you, Bill, and excellent point. While the charter school my kids now attend falls under the Minnesota Department of Education as a public school, it does not receive the same funding as regular public schools. Our kids are being educated at a lower cost per student than any other public school, yet even so, test scores show the school performs better on state standardized tests than the rest of the public school system. Also, while all other public schools have loans to service, our charter school has run a surplus for years. Minnesota's teachers unions and Department of Education do not like that charter schools exist, but they can do nothing to stop them. Even limiting our funding has not stopped us. Taxpayers should be happy.
