I wanted to wait to a little later in the day to make today's posting, as I wanted to see the directions the markets were taking and the comments about those directionsAnd the comments can be summed up in my opinion by simply stating that the nation's economy is now being run by a group of narcissistic goofs.
Some of these goofs, are the result of over promotion out of creaky and corrupt political machines originating out of either Chicago ward heeler politics or in the latest case of the newest shot at a Secretary of Commerce former Washington Governor Gary Locke a political fundraiser for the Clintons who is embroiled in scandal of his own.
Despite a very short-term mainstream media memory Governor Locke had been heavily involved in fundraiser activity for the Clintons in 1996 and was investigated for campaign fund-raising violations he also has very interesting ethical problems concerning his relatives and Boeing which is a major manufacturer in Washington.
If this is change, it's the oddest change most of us have ever seen since the ideas and policies in addition to the personnel are throwbacks to the Clinton era in many cases between 1992 and 2000.
In the meantime the Drudge Report notes the lavish spending, dancing and general Louis XIV party atmosphere at the White House. Personally I'm glad they're doing it all now so that we have a chance to see a hand they hope to play right up front.
