Why can't I get it to redirect automatically?

I used Bloggers own instructions on how to redirect this site straight to the new one. This is the best I could do for now.

Just because they got Princeton...


Just because Princeton is in New Jersey, it doesn't make all New Jerseyites geniuses. Some right wing-nut job did a "survey" and found out that an "eye-popping 8%" of people from New Jersey think Obama is the anti-Christ. That goes far to explain many things, but more questions are raised by this survey (I'd love to see the methodology for the gathering of the facts that this moron spouts!) Question #1 raised by this survey - Are people from New Jersey THAT stupid and why? Question #2 - Do that many people in the U.S. believe in the concept of anti-Christ? If so, then I am ready to exercise my French citizenship because the U.S. really has degenerated into a barely literate mob of religious fanatics. Ever wonder why the rest of the world hates us? Read the Lance Hanynie Show blog. I wonder if he is related to Mr. Haynie from Green Acres. He was always trying to pull one over on poor Mr. & Mrs. Douglas. Now all these morons will say, "He thinks Green Acres is real!" Conservatives have no sense of humor or satire.

Lock your doors.

Barney Frank, et al move up Credit Card Reform date to Dec 1


Washington, DC – Reps. Carolyn Maloney (D-NY), author of the credit card reform bill signed earlier this year by President Obama, and Barney Frank (D-MA), Chair of the House Financial Services Committee, today introduced legislation which changes the effective date for the reforms in that bill to December 1, 2009.

H.R. 3639, the ‘‘Expedited CARD Reform for Consumers Act of  2009,” would move up the effective date of the remaining provisions of the Credit CARD Act, which are now scheduled for February and August 2010.

“Pew Charitable Trust reports that interest rates have spiked by an average of 20% on credit cards representing more than 91% of the $864 billion in outstanding credit card balances. It’s clear that credit card companies are taking advantage of this period between the signing of my bill and the current effective date,” Rep. Maloney said. “The breadth and depth of the rate hikes happening now point to the need for faster consumer protections. Americans need relief now.”

Original co-sponsors on H.R. 3639 include Reps. Capuano, Sutton, Schakowsky, Hirono, and Tierney.


If you Google "H.R. 3639" you will get a link to the bill. It's in Adobe Acrobat 9.0 My computer only has Adobe 5 or 6. To get Adobe 9, you need an Intell Processor. I really need to upgrade my poor Imac soon!
