No Nanny State - Molon Labe!
Not surprisingly, yet another Bush Administration official has looked America and Congress in the eye, and lied out of their ass.

Treasury Secretary Hank Paulson now tells us that the $700 billion bailout - which was to be used to buy up bad loans from banks and investors - will now be primarily used to Nationalize more American banks.

The Bush administration on Wednesday largely abandoned its plan to buy up toxic mortgage assets and said it will focus its $700 billion financial bailout fund on making direct investments in financial institutions and shoring up consumer credit markets.

Well, isn’t that a surprise. Anyone with two brain cells to rub together could see that $700 billion was not nearly enough money to help stabilize the US mortgage market, which is in the neighborhood of $12 trillion.

Book Review: Emergency Food Storage & Survival Handbook « Everyday Prepper
As promised here is another review on a book about Food Storage.

Emergency Food Storage & Survival Handbook is a book I bought a while back knowing one day I would venture down the path of storing more than just a months worth of food at a time. Now that I’m going down that path I have found this book to be very good. It’s written by Peggy Layton who many in the survivalist / prepper network know and trust. She has written several books including a series on how to use your food storage, which as we know is important because when you store food you must use that food or you’re just wasting your money.

bison survival blog: deflation?
I know, I said no more chicken little stories on the economy, but I’ve been force feeding you warmed over election news and Peak Oil stories so perhaps now economic news won’t be so hard to swallow. I got all worked up over a blurb at www.survivalblog.com so I thought I would bend your ear over that. The case for deflation was made and housing and oil were used as examples. It was argued that credit contraction was leading us into a depression. It wasn’t a bad argument, and we all do tend to forget that our economy is mostly credit rather than paper currency. Yet something was nagging at me over the article.
