How Much is a Billion
Depends on who you ask

How many zeros in a billion?

The next time you hear a politician use the
Word ‘billion’ in a casual manner, think about
Whether you want the ‘politicians’ spending
YOUR tax money.

A billion is a difficult number to comprehend,
But one advertising agency did a good job of
Putting that figure into some perspective in
One of its releases..

A.
A billion seconds ago it was 1959.

B.
A billion minutes ago Jesus was alive.

C.
A billion hours ago our ancestors were
Living in the Stone Age.

D.
A billion days ago no-one walked on the earth on two feet.

E.
A billion dollars ago was only
8 hours and 20 minutes,
At the rate our government
Is spending it.

While this thought is still fresh in our brain…
let’s take a look at New Orleans …
It’s amazing what you can learn with some simple division.

Louisiana Senator,
Mary Landrieu (D)
Is presently asking Congress for
250 BILLION DOLLARS
To rebuild New Orleans . Interesting number…..
What does it mean?

A.
Well . If you are one of the 484,674 residents of New Orleans
(every man, woman, and child)
You each get $516,528.

B.
Or…. If you have one of the 188,251 homes in
New Orleans , your home gets $1,329,787.

C.
Or… If you are a family of four…..
Your family gets $2,066,012.

Collecting Silver and Gold is a wise choice in ANY economy. Would you be better off today if you had been collecting silver and gold the past 5 or 10 years? YES! And the answer to that question is ALWAYS the same. Silver and Gold is GOD’S money. It can NOT be created by anyone. IT will ALWAYS be valuable because of it’s scarcity.

Robert Kiyosaki (Best selling author of “Rich dad, poor dad, real estate guru and self made multi-millionaire) says that SILVER is the number one investment to protect yourself from inflation. Right now, and only for a short time, it is priced low enough and “Average Joe” can get into the game. Investing is not just for the rich… at least right now.

At $18 per once (at the time of this post), one could put off some Starbucks purchases, Apple IPAD/IPOD, new computer, new car ect. You should get the picture. Take care of your future FIRST.

People, you really need to start paying attention to your finances, and what the government is doing. I pity the fools who show no interest in politics. You are possibly about to be wiped out.

That saying “hell hath no fury like a woman scorned”? It just got real, y’all: Gawker has multiple sources saying that a lovey-dovey billboard in Times Square featuring a huge photo of a couple named Charles Phillips and YaVaughnie Wilkins is actually the work of a scorned mistress (that would be YaVaughnie Wilkins) who wants to embarrass her former lover. Not only might Phillips be a married man, but he is also the co-president of a company called Oracle and a member of Obama’s Economic Recovery Advisory Board.

Oh, dear.

The romantic billboards, which appear in possibly three locations in Manhattan, show a picture of a man and woman, with the words “‘You are my soulmate forever! – cep’” written across the top and the website “charlesphillipsandyavaughniewilkins.com” written across the bottom. To regular folks looking at the billboard, it appeared to be a sweet declaration of love. Visitors to the now-unavailable site were treated to pictures of Wilkins and Phillips cuddling, tickets for the events they allegedly attended together (including the Obama Inauguration), and numerous cards from him saying things like “You’re the only woman for me!” (That was a Valentine’s Day card).

But Gawker started sniffing around and, through tips, had multiple sources tell them that Wilkins is allegedly Phillips’ angry mistress, with whom he has carried on an eight-year affair. Phillips allegedly has either a wife or ex-wife named Karen Phillips, who is the mother of his tween son and with whom he has attended hoity-toity New York City events as recently as this December.

Gawker got in touch with the website’s designer, Bela Kovács, who confirmed that Wilkins hired him to create the site — only he thought the gesture was so sweet that Wilkins must have been Philips’ wife. “My understanding was that the site was for a gift to Charles, that’s what I was told,” Kovács told Gawker. “She was ecstatic when it finally launched and the whole thing was done.”

Yeah, I’ll bet she was.

My, oh, my. What has happened to the days when mistresses were discreet, hmm? First Rielle Hunter gets knocked up with John Edwards’ kid. Then Brooke Hundley stalks ESPN’s Steve Phillips’ teenaged son online. And now this!

Married men, when will you learn to just keep it in your pants?

Coakley concedes

Scott Brown has won the US Senate seat, which was left vacant due to Edward Kennedy’s death. With his unexpected victory, Martha Coakley loses the Massachusett Senate Race 2010. The late Ted Kennedy held the US Senate seat for more than 46 years.

Martha Coakley has conceded in Massachusetts Senate race against Republican Scott Brown.
