Growing Magician


The slight of hand usually works if the audience can be distracted. Watch the pretty scarf. Meanwhile, the other hand is quickly transferring the rabbit behind. Suddenly, magic.


It's not the email hackers that are the story. It's the questionable data that is still not being made available.


It's not the July 2011 exit. It's the transition that begins then and may take 18 to 24 months.


It's not the return of TARP $. It's extra $ that can used to create jobs.


It's not that the GOP has no plan for health care reductions. It's that they have not been invited to share or even be in the room where the bill is created and changes are written.


It's not that CO2 will be regulated. Our electric power will cost double very soon. It's that Cap and Trade will start to look good by comparison.


Beyond that, I ask where is the coverage of two things that are about to change. The growing magician Government will take over all public transportation systems. To regulate and control them.


The growing magician Government is nearing the point of bailing out journalists. The Government will sustain and control the watchdog known as the Press.


So many tricks. So many diversions. The Government is crowding out capitalism, free press, and regulating us to death. Socialism can be declared at any moment.


'til later
