Mom arrives with cake

Does this make up for saying something that could be considered political?

CARMEN MIRANDA - TICO TICO

Obama's Fannie Mae/Freddie Mac Connection-Truth!

Obama's Fannie Mae/Freddie Mac Connection-Truth! Many people are shouting , angry at Wall Street, but the problem goes deeper than Wall Street.
Some may know that the banks where threatened that they had to take loans on sub prime mortages and if you know bank lawyers and members of the bank boards, they will confirm, that they where forced to take sub prime mortages, nothing down, etc....read the article here.

Additionally, if you as an individual where forced to take loans you did not want, you would do what the banks did, you would try to get them off your books, so they called Wall Street.


Wall Street is getting the blame, but the action that started the ball rolling that destroyed the world's financial system, is what we should focus on. The reason is obvious, it should never be allowed to happen again.

Read the article and form your own opinion about who is trying to cover up the real reasons for the world financial collapse. What would you do, if you collapsed the world's financial system?

Form your own opinion, but be educated on your facts.

78s - Ella Fitzgerald - Sentimental Journey

Listen to this old recording by Ella,
do you agree with me that Doris could have been a great jazz singer if she had let herself, follow Ella. Just as Amy Winehouse, went into channeling the great songstresses, so Doris could have done it....and probably had an even bigger career...

Doris Day A Sentimental Journey

Doris Day, was categorized as a romantic singer in my estimation. She never did any daring things with her voice, which I think she could have done, she has the timbre of Chris Connor and some of the jazz singers, but never really tried to get in that category.

Psychology weighs in on the BC/AD – BCE/CE debate

Psychology weighs in on the BC/AD – BCE/CE debate
This is an annoying change, in my estimation, and unnecessary, even if you are a non believer,
because it is just a place holder, period. We could have had BB ( before Buddah ), but it became in history and accepted as BC and AD

Why is this change necessary? Even if we all became non believers, it is still a place holder, whatever we call it....
Should we all change all over the world to the decimal system? Is it imperative?

My point is, why make the world more complicated? Is it truly important to the understanding of history?
