Friday Commentary

Our Trade deficit hit a new record in 2005. I am fairly soon that at some point we are going to hit the tipping point (if we haven't already) of not enough good paying jobs in the US for us to buy all the crap we are currently importing.

A quick
search shows bird flu showing up in several new countries. Greece, Azerbaijan and Iraq and China seeing new cases.

Rumors persist that Madonna and Guy Ritchie are on the rocks. Is nothing sacred?

The continued violence over cartoons is clearly sharpening the conversation in the current
"clash of civilizations". Will the dialogue lead to progress or further violence?

Finally, new debt scam. Banks are selling very old debts to pedatory collection agencies for pennies on the dollar. All states have statues of limitations on old debts, so if you get a call...hang up. Don't disagree or acknowledge, just hang up!
