Buyer Beware – Avoid Doing Business With…

Aloha Tropicals of California(http://www.alohatropicals.com/). I placed my order (Invoice # 5476157_14459) on June 1, 2008 with an original shipping date of 2-3 weeks. On August 9,2008, I placed a phone call/email (alohatropicals@gmail.com) to the company requesting a status report on my still undelivered order. The answer received was that the product(horticultural in nature), was not ready to be shipped due to "rooting" difficulties. Long story short, it is now November 28,2008 and I have yet to receive my order. I have placed numerous calls (760-631-2880) requesting a refund of my purchase price with no corresponding return phone call or follow-up. Bottom Line – Caveat Emptor, this merchant’s customer service department is poor at best.

US Senate Dining Room Goes Private – At Last!!

Better late than never, I suppose. The “world’s greatest deliberative body” has taken a radical step towards the efficient use of taxpayer dollars. In reading this article, one wonders why it took decades upon decades to make such a basic and common sense change. Kudos to Senator Dianne Feinstein for speaking up on behalf of US taxpayers. Undoubtedly there are other warrens of taxpayer waste to be uncovered!

Federal Reserve Skating on Thin Ice??? – Part 2

Here’s the "stag" portion of the stagflation conundrum: dormant economic activity+inflation. Too soon to panic (panic is never useful) but not too soon to reconsider future policy directives.

Curt Schilling – This is a GOOD sign, Right?????

This is a picture of Boston Red Sox pitcher Curt Schilling pulling his own luggage carrier with his PITCHING arm. This is a good thing right? I mean, if the right wing was truly shabby, he wouldn’t be doing this, right???? Perhaps the treatments are working and Old Faithful will find himself in the starting rotation around the All Star Break???? Perhaps I am reading too much into this.

Federal Reserve Skating on Thin Ice?

Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke’s easy money policy may do harm than good. In the long run, we are all dead, according to John Maynard Keynes. Keynes’ foresight was such that he apparently forsaw what happens (CHAOS!!!) when the Fed decides to reduce interest rates in the face of increasing inflation. When policy makers lose sight of their mandates and capabilities and react in the moment to events, "…in the long run, we are all dead.") In a rather vainglorious effort to "revive" one segment of the U.S. economy (housing), society and the economy at large are placed at risk of inflation and general economic chaos! The first rule of The Bottom Line’s policymaking bureau: First do no harm. The Fed should follow suit by doing what it does best: controlling money supply and short-term interest rates.
