Do You Own a Gun?

Own a Gun? Please vote on this USA Today Poll. Guess they were not happy with the poll results the first time, so USA today is running another one... Vote now.

Attorney General, Eric Holder, has already said this is one of his major issues. He does not believe the 2nd Amendment gives individuals the right to bear arms. This takes literally 2 clicks to complete. Please vote on this gun issue question with USA Today. It will only take a few seconds of your time. Then pass the link on to all the pro- gun folks you know. Hopefully these results will be published later this month. This upcoming year will become critical for gun owners with the Supreme Court's accepting the District of Columbia case against the right for individuals to bear arms.

Here's what you need to do:
First - vote on this one.
Second - Send this link to other folks and have THEM vote - then we will see if the results get published.

The question is: ”Does the 2nd Amendment give individuals the right to bear arms?"

Results as of 4 January 2012:

Yes: 97%

No: 2%

Undecided: 1%

Number of Votes cast: 9,914,916

Debt Ceiling Explained Well

Our Congress thinks we're simpletons......Keeping us in the dark and feeding us garbage all the time. Talking circles around the debt and deficit problems. And then you have Obama who will be shortly raising the debt ceiling, putting this country further at risk and will also probably decrease the U.S. bond rating once again.

They just don't get it. When the average American family has money problems, we must cut spending - this forces us to prioritize our actual needs. I think I'm going to send my Congressman and Senators this video which is a tongue in cheek skit on an average American trying to act as financially stupid as our Federal Government.

Jon Corzine MF - MF Global That Is

From an article titled "2011′s Executive Compensation Highlights (and Lowlights)" by Daniel Gross on Yahoo! Finance

What the MF? Jon Corzine, former Goldman Sachs top dog, former Senator, former New Jersey Governor, was already a very rich man before he joined financial services firm MF Global as CEO. But he aimed to increase his fortune further by having MF Global put on insanely leveraged trades on European sovereign debt. The trades, of course, blew up in his face, plunged MF Global into bankruptcy, and have launched a slew of investigations. As Leder point outs, it's possible that Corzine's attention in the spring of 2011 was somewhat diverted. As a filing detailed, Corzine was spending time. . . . renegotiating his compensation package.

Months before the company blew up, MF Global agreed to pay Corzine a $1.5 million retention bonus on March 31, 2014 (or whenever he left the job), provided he didn't quit without a good reason or get fired for cause. And, Footnoted.com noted, a
broadly written escape clause would have allowed him to receive at least partial payment if he quite without 'good reason.' If only Corzine had paid as much attention to the billions of dollars MF was handling as he was to the paltry million or so he was haggling over.
