Based on what’s in the media and the level of media conversation here are ten reasons to vote for either of the two major candidates that hold about as much content as voting for Obama for say bailing out Wall Street and the Healthcare Insuance industry or for Romeny for a new round of tax cuts and having run the Olympics and MAYBE Bain Capital?

Political Basement When Numbers Mean Nothing

Last week the US Conference of Mayors met to trade tips with each other on how to run things and how things should be run.

Know what they’re doing… just like our CEO President, “W” they haven’t a clue and this is what happens when numbers mean nothing.
