Obama would do well to think about OpenSecrets.org next time he makes a claim like “I don’t take money from oil companies.” FactCheck.org calls Obama to task on his misleading statement from his new ad: Sphere: Related Content

It’s a Welfare State–If You’re Rich
Listen to conservative talk show pundits and blowhards. Listen to any of the political candidates who proudly amend their names with the phrase “conservative Republican.” One theme resonates in all of the heavy wind—keep the government out of our private lives; let business enjoy a free market economy. Not only should government regulation be minimal, they say, but we must end the “welfare state.” Of course, what they mean is don’t help the individual; help only corporations by giving...
Ouch: Oil Hits $107
Have you checked the price at the pumps recently? Ouch. Here in my Los Angeles neighborhood they prices ranged over $3.50 a gallon this weekend which is considerably higher than some areas across the country. Word has it, we ain’t seen nothing yet: Sphere: Related Content
Economic Woes
These days, saying “it’s the economy, stupid,” is an understatement. Look around the grocery store and you’ll find the prices are rising. Fill up the tank with gas and it costs a fortune.

Dizzy’s Ten Post Round-Up

It’s just that I have been so bogged down with a massive to-do list that would not go away, it seemed like it was out to get me, making it difficult to prioritize anything or kill the tasks in front me.

Hillary Clinton Speaks to Crowd 12,000 Strong in El Paso (VIDEO)
Last night in El Paso, Texas Hillary Clinton received a rock star welcome at a rally of supporters that was 12,000 strong. Anne Kornblut claims in the WaPo that Hillary was “booed” when she mentioned her “differences with Obama over health care and the mortgage crisis.” If she was booed it sure as hell could not be heard over the screaming of support for what Clinton was saying. Kornblut’s piece in the WaPo is highly indicative of the hit...
Why Does the Bush Administration Not Want Small Business to Export?
I had a rather interesting and disconcerting experience today, as a small business owner. I make natural bath & body products and I wholesale and retail them on the internet. I’ve been in business for nearly 13 years and occasionally I get international orders from shop owners and individuals in various locations around the globe. I have in the past primarily shipped to my overseas clients via the USPS. But today I learned that I may not be able to ship...
