    By Peter Fredson, Esq.
    August 31, 2007
    To relieve the stress and strain of retirement, I have taken up several hobbies. One was blogging. The other is attending yard sales. This is a very rewarding hobby for old farts. I highly recommend it to all retired people as cathartic and entertaining. You can see all the precious stuff people collected and saved in their attics and basements, and wonder at their idea of “taste.”
    Most people really HATE to part with (…)

    There is no evidence of a country having benefitted from prolonged warfare.
    Sun Tzu Wu
    Americans, dizzy from all the conflicting "War on Terror" reportage, were recently assured by numerous, customarily reliable sources that the Neocons no longer held the reins of the empire. Indeed, even the Neocons said so themselves. Witness their Exhibit A: the premature resignation of PNAC, which they ran from as if it were an unattended backpack in an airport. This from a group of fellows routinely (…)

    George Bush is hoping against hope to build a magnificent presidential library (he’s having a hard time finding a city which wants to host it!),to promote and hail his "legacy", as he believes it should be written.
    My contacts tell me there won’t be a "library" (that’s libary to Bush), but instead a sort of Addam’s Family forboding mansion,made of rotting wood and bedecked with cobwebs. It will be called The Horrors Museum.
    Over the entrance will be a coat of arms, featuring a white (…)

    Washington Behind Indo-Pakistan Conflict: How American Special Forces organised the evacuation of Al Qaeda and Pakistan ISI Forces to Kashmir. In interviews, however, American intelligence officials and high-ranking military officers said that Pakistanis were indeed flown to safety, in a series of nighttime airlifts that were approved by the Bush Administration.

    You can see why banks are running scared...they know the bottom can fall out at any moment. I’d suggest keeping minimal deposits in banks and holding on to cash.
