Good links, as always.
I'm having trouble wrapping my head around the jewelry sale -- maybe people want to be decked out in bling so that they look swanky before God?
Howdy Infodel! ... and a decent round up indeed, a lil for everyone, you could be Santa! :)
I'm still reading on this stuff, but want to point to a couple here, I'll pass on the fag's, hag's and Tea Bag's though. :)
But thanx for the Christmas Shopping link up in Duluth, might be worth the drive ... awe shit ... I only have a sport coup car .... not a goddamn snowmobile ... oh well. :) But this remind's me of that Preacher and his Preachess spouse back in 1999 who was selling that VHS set of the Apocalypse when 2000 hit, and the world computer's would all shut down ... he also gave an easy payment credit plan of 4 installment's that went halfway into the year 2000 ... figure that un out. :) Cant even recall the SOB's name off hand, but he was one of them pop culture televangelist's.
Telegraph piece on China's bubble/ bust .... welcome to the corporate market! :) (China's Gvmnt own's over 80% of their business) Boy ... are they in for a treat! (cause their being "had" too, like redheaded stepchildren) But actually I also look for big trouble to come between Russia and China in about a decade. Look ... what really get's me about China is (no not the human right's violation's ... any more than our government care's about it :) ) But no one has been mentioning a thing about their part in Afghanistan ... while their highsiding showing off their new 300mph train (yes ... it's impressive) ... we are reinforcing troop's, bases, spending billion's over there, while folk's like Lindey Graham (spelling?) are taking photo/ media op's telling of how long of a commitment we have there, and our benefit/ obligation (intl corporate only I may add) ... and all China is currently doing is building new rail line's to ship out all the copper and other resouces they will mine from it, since they won the contract's to do so back around 2006 ... it's pathetic ... but so is our government, and most American's choose to be blind to this.
I take it by your home state you mean Oregon(?), as far as the credit report firing ... I figure if any state protected the worker's ... it would have to be Oregon and cities like Portland (last of the great American cities in my opinion!) Here in Dallas ... all your big companies check credit in the first interview, you wont get fired, cause you'll never get hired to start. :)
Thank you for ending the depressing list of "roundups" with the uplifting trailer for that documentary! I want to see that.
I have to raise my game man. I haven't been on Infidel's link roundup in ages.
Ahab: I've never understood why they usually go up on hilltops when they think the world is about to end, either -- what difference would it make?
RC: The Oregon law also bans discrimination in hiring based on credit, I think.
RtS: I'll be watching for it too -- it's a good thing to get the word out.
Truth: Unfortunately the link roundups can't aim for completeness -- they're a scatter-shot collection of things I run into, links people send me, whatever sticks in my memory, etc. Many worthy postings are omitted every time.
Actually Infodel, PDX (Portland) is another posting past due on my list, because of it's unique flavour, even though I only spent one week there ... I had the opportunity to really taste the city and talked with many local's. When I say "Last of the GREAT American cities", I really mean that. If I had enough money to have another place/ condo/ home somewhere's else in continental USA, it would have to be Portland. And I been to ALOT of town's in this country.
