Slingshot Thougts

I have had a few Slingshot Thoughts floating around in my head recently and I figure I got enough of them built up that it is time to let ‘em loose.

Regarding the economy and money

(1) To protect your 401 K, pull it all out and transfer it into Second Life’s Lindens. There is actually exchange rate kicking around and stock market. People are spending real money on virtual items ranging from horned helmets to property and homes. Since the whole community/ world is virtual it should somehow be shaded from the real world economy. Then take it all back out when the DJA swings up again.

(2) The US Treasury Department has been bitching about how expensive it has become to mint coins, Pennies especially. So how about we just out source the production of coins to China? We seem to be sending everything else that way, and if it costs less, it costs less. Right? However, I'm sure there must be some federal law to squash this brilliant idea.

President Elect Obama
First 2 weeks, speak with the leader of every nation on earth, even if just to say ‘Sup dude?’

A Mission to Mars
I think that as humans we must attempt this. To do it I think we send three identical ships with teams of experienced Navy sub-mariners to set up a colony. However, the first real step would be to have a working magnetic shield to protect them from deep space radiation. No need to send them there only to return looking like Morlocks.

That’s all for now.

President O

Hillary Clinton has paved the way of the idea for a woman to be President of the United States.

Barak Obama has paved the way of the idea for a black person to be President of the United States.

Combine the two and what will we get?

President Oprah Winfrey

Discuss.

ohh-O-bahmah.

Well this story is runnin' wild. The "Obama photo". Well it would seem to me that the Hillary camp has finally formulated the chink in OBAMAS armor. They will ride this point like a hooker at a donkey show until he concedes.

DON'T GIVE IN to her.

here's a clip from drudgereport.com

" A snapshot of Sen. Barack Obama (D-IL) and his chief political/media adviser David Axelrod -- taken in the Senator’s Capitol Hill office!

"Congressional ethics rules forbid the use of federal office space for political and campaign activity."

"Obama and Axelrod are old buddies whose relationship dates back years and they could have been having an innocuous conversation, "
“It could be seen as a rookie mistake,”
the consultant said. <--WHOEVER THIS IS?

I feel like if i comment Id be passing judgments on the guy and Id hate to add to reducing the integrity of the blogoshpere...but this is

MY PLACE TO SPEW!!

Ill add that this situation seems it could easily blow out of proportion.

Please think.

GO OBAMA!

O!-B!-A!-M!-A!.....

Obama!, Obama!...Gooooooo OBAMA!.

The Clinton campaign demanded that Obama return DreamWorks studio co- founder David Geffen's money after Geffen criticized the Clintons as dishonest, among other things. Obama declined, and his spokesman criticized Clinton in return for accepting the support of a South Carolina lawmaker who said Obama can't win because he's black.

Obama told donors at a Houston fundraiser Thursday night that the nation will remain at a standstill "if we continue to engage in small and divisive politics and tit-for-tat."

"Our country is at a crossroads right now," he said, citing problems in Iraq and domestically with education, energy and health care. "It's not as if we don't know what the solutions are. What's missing is the inability of our leadership to develop consensus." --By NEDRA PICKLER
