TAYLOR SWIFT STUMBLES INTO PHILOSOPHY

TAYLOR SWIFT makes millions singing about her bad choices in men ...the eighth century b.c.e. Greek philosopher Heraclitus said..."Our fate isn't in our stars ..it's in our character ".

George W Bush Emails Hacked:Electronic Shoe Throwing?

"Character is fate", remarked the 5th century B.C. Greek philosopher Heraclitus.

The New York Times is carrying the story that George W Bush emails for the past three years have been hacked and posted on the website " The Smoking Gun". The emails contain gossip , photos, w's observations along with friends messages Naturally also included are personal names and addresses and contact numbers for W's personal circle of family and friends. Want to contact W now or ever more? We all remember W as the the moron who gave us preemptive war and then demonstrated its pitfalls by invading Iraq for WMD . He found none. But under his direct orders killed over a million innocent Iraqi civilians and dislocated over 5 millions. His reckless moronic behavior still causes deaths in Iraq to this day . His overthrow of Saddam Hussein started a civil war with no end in sight. George also gave us the Patriot Act. That misnomer allowed surveillance of U.S. citizens without warrants. So todays news looks like some payback for the ass.Hopefully W will never sleep well for the rest of his days.

In Iraq on November 16, 2007, Iraqi broadcast journalist Muntadhar al- Zaidi throw both his shoes at Bush at a press conference. He shouted at the same time, " This is a farewell kiss from the Iraqi people you dog." The hacking is a kind of electronic shoe throwing. The shoe has been passed to many others.

Jewish School Vouchers to Save Jerwish Culture: Why?

Today Peter Beinhart had the allocated space reserved for Zionists issues in The Wall Street Journal. He was bemaoning the continued fall out of Jewish diasopra dating from antiquity when first the Babylonians then the Romans destroyed the Temple in Jerusalem. Mr. Beinhart was arguing the case for government assistance in America for Jewish school vouchers. It was a plea akin to an endangered species crisis . He rambled on about the alarming intermarriage trends of Jews with other races.He concluded that Judiasm was in jeopardy. And only a massive government assisted reintroduction of Jewish culture and values to young ones would be enough to save the future of Judiasm from the pitfalls of melting pot America.

     Mr Beinhart doesn't believe in free choice. People are turning their back on Judiasm because it hasn't anything in particular to offer that can't be done better and with better food in other cultures. Heraclitus said that fate is in character. It's still true.

Heraclitus & Hillary Clinton

The 6th century B.C. Greek philosopher Heraclitus said," Our fate isn't written in our stars but in our character".

And so Hillary's secret wishing on a star about a Robert Kennedy June timetable " assassination" of Barack Obama fated her to an " obliteration" of her political chances in the democratic nomination race . Character matters. When one pursues "obliteration" -as was Hillary's warning to Iran -obliteration may be the puruers fate.

Another Banking & Brokers Crisis: Can't Learn If Can't Remember.

In 1999 during Clinton's tenure of office The Glass-Steagal Act (a.k.a. Banking Act of 1935) was repealed by the republican controlled Congress . The repeal was pushed by Federal Reserve Chairman Alan Greenspan and Citigroup's Chairman Sandy Weil, Secretary Of Treasury Robert Rubin who left government after Glass-Steagall repeal and joined Citigroup and Bill Clinton. The repeal let banks back into the brokerage business. Let Citigroup back into the securities business is an understatement. It was Citigroup's Smith Barney's unit that was part of the fraud at Worldcom that cost investors $ 150 billion in losses. It seems that Sandy and Robert and Smith Barney anaylist Jack Grubman just can't play it straight. The three should have gone to prison.

Banks by nature should be safe and secure. Brokers by nature are anything but safe and secure.Citigroups stock since reentering the brokerage and related security dealings has plunged from $56.00 per share to $19.00. Today Bear Stearns collapsed from a 14 month high of $170.00 per share and was acquired by JP Morgan Chase for $ 2.00 per share. Hello? Anyone remember why the depression-era banking reform legislation happened? What was dumb and risky for the banks in the 1920's and 1930's is still dumb and risky.

Also " Character is fate", acording to the 6th century B.C. Greek philosopher Heraclitus. That hasn't changed either.
