To report, after 24 hours StealthSim can still pick up a signal. (O2 prepaid without Edge or 3G, UK). However, I am being very very cautious with it. I am turning on Airplane Mode whenever I don't need to use it (I am still using my normal SonyE phone)...
Because, when you have a signal, even without edge or 3G or wifi, GPS works nice, and with things like RunKeeper.com
So to be honest, I am very cautious but at the same time minimising my exposure to the network.
Don't worry, I will continue to test it more thoroughly over the next few weeks.
I just don't want to lose the signal over the next few days because... it feels so good to have some sort of working iPhone 3G, even for just a few days LOL. I love teh iPhone 3G.
Please create a new thread where *sim solutions tested by your "reliable" testers show positive. Thanks
There is no positive. All the solutions tested so far don't work.
After dumping the baseband logs, I found two variables fLastKnownServingPlmn and fHomePlmn which are quite self-explanatory. The *sim I am testing out required me to put it into an ordinary phone and manually select my network thus writing my network's MCC/MNC to fLastKnownServingPlmn. The *sim fakes fHomePlmn to 101.
The function of data roaming is to enable data in networks other than your home network, so if the home network is faked to 101, which the network you use is impossible to be, data roaming must be enabled to turn on data.
Just sharing my opinion

Seattle >Lodging > Renaissance Seattle Hotel
515 Madison Street, Seattle, WA | Directions 9810447.606911 -122.330692
Daily 24 Hours
Neighborhoods: Central Business District, Downtown
Great rooms and service – It's been awhile since I have been to this hotel, but I thoroughly enjoyed my stay here.
I didn't get to spend a lot of time in the hotel, most of the time was spent in the pool on the top floor or in the room with room service. The pool was heavenly, there was no one else up there and it had beautiful views. I would go back for the pool.
Room service was exactly what I expect of room service, pleasant and unassuming. The food was decent as well. I also appreciated the morning service and the room service server telling me all about what the weather would be like that day. He was a pretty funny guy. Front desk service was great as well.
My only complaint if parking, but when is it not for downtown hotels? It's expensive, you just have to deal with it.
Nice hotel, good value, excellent location – This location is an excellent value--walking distance to shows/bars in Capital Hill and to the Market. Weekend out-of-towners will appreciate the proximity to shopping and attractions. The new Visions lounge on the 28th floor, is a great spot for a cocktail while watching the sun go down--order the Side Car! Business travelers will appreciate the proximity to Columbia Tower and other office buildings. You can even walk to Bell Town if you put your comfy shoes on. No need to rent a car!
New remodel looks amazing! – I went and stayed with my wife over the weekend (I live in Seattle, but let my folks stay at our place). It was awesome to do a little mini staycation, walked to Poppy in Capitol Hill, and my wife did some shopping at Pacific Place, which was also walking. The best part is that I got an amazing deal, the front desk people said they are trying to promote the fact that they put $20 million in renovations to locals.
Plus their sky bar has an awesome view! *updated* I have to say that both my wife and I were very impressed with the digs you set us up with. Everything about the space was amazing and we really enjoyed hanging out in the room. We started off the night with a little happy hour in the Visions Lounge and enjoyed some delicious crab cake sandwiches, locally produced Washington gin martini's and of course, the amazing view. We wandered downtown for some shopping and dinner and greatly enjoyed the bottle of wine you sent our way. Again, thanks so much for your generosity.
A GRAND disapointment – Fopr the Marriott Family of hotels, this was incredibly dissapointing. The exterior has dirt drip lines down the sides and it is an UGLY reflection on what you would expect coming to a Marriott brand hotel. Upon entering the lobby, it looks a bit nicer but is not warm at all, outdated, and an all around disapointment matched by the exterior. the rooms are old, the food barely adequate, the bar common, the facilities are rinky dink, the meeting space sporadic and used and the hotel seems to be completely mis-managed. Wait staff in the restaurant was very cordial, but the rest of the staff was either distant or offered a very contrived greeting. Not sincere at all.
I am very sorry your stay did not live up to your expectations and truly appreciate the feedback. I am pleased, however, to be able to address some of your concerns and observations by letting you know the hotel is and has been under new management. for the past year. One of the first tasks on the list was to clean the exterior of the building. Subsequently, we are about to enter our third and final phase of our $28 million dollar renovation which involved a complete remodel of our guestrooms, health club, conversion of our pool to an environmentally friendly salt water pool, and addition of a brand new Madison Ballroom and updated meeting space! The final phase will involve the reopening of our newly remodeled Lobby Bar and Lobby - both scheduled for completion by the end of April.
I would like to invite you to come back and experience the hotel again. Please call me and I will personally take care of your arrangements.
Best, Rene Neidhart/General Manager
It's not much more ... get the Romance Package! – We were planning to stay on Bainbridge Island after a day of shopping in Seattle, but upon finding all the places we wanted to stay booked we decided to make a reservation where our friends were staying. I wasn't sure if it would be as fun or as romantic as Bainbridge -- I thought it would be your standard corporate downtown hotel -- but I was more than impressed.
After a long day of shopping we were both ready to rest before meeting friends for dinner, so when we arrived at the hotel I was just hoping for a warm shower and a somewhat comfortable bed. Little did I know my boyfriend had made the reservation for the Romance Package.
Our room was great, a corner room on the 20th floor with a comfortable sitting room as well as the bedroom (which had amazing views of the downtown buildings, the Bay and the Space Needle). The service was beyond expectation. As part of the package we were to get champagne and chocolates, which we forgot to order before we took a walk before dinner. When we arrived back to the room to freshen up, the treats had been delivered!! It was a great surprise.
The package also included breakfast in the restaurant or a limited menu from room service. We chose the room service option, and it was absolutely wonderful -- they called before it was delivered to verify exactly what we wanted and it was much more than I could ever eat for breakfast!
Overall, I would absolutely reccommend the Renaissance for a weekend stay in Seattle -- and get the Romance Package for an even sweeter stay.
As for drawbacks, there weren't many. No mini-fridge or coffeemaker in our room (or our friends' room) -- but they do offer free coffee service in the morning. The furnishings are a bit dated, but not bad (get new shower curtains!). We wanted to use the pool/spa that night, but there were holiday parties in the hotel (with some of those guests staying over) so it was too crowded and loud, even at 10:45 p.m.
We had a wonderful stay! Thank you!
great breakfast – My husband and I spent a weekend there and enjoyed the breakfast buffet and the view was fabulous. We highly recommend staying here. Great deals on web....
great place go stay – The view from the 25th floor over looking the bay is breath taking... the staff is great and they always have a smile for you at check in.
Business-savvy lodgings with great views on the edge of downtown. – The Scene
Because this full-service hotel sits on the southernmost edge of downtown, it is often overlooked. But its reliable service and array of standard amenities make it a solid choice for conventioneers and business travelers.
The Details
There isn't much that is distinctive about the exterior of this big grey building, and all of the 553 guest rooms are essentially the same. But the views from the exercise room and pool area can't be beat. Look out at the Cascade Mountains and Capitol Hill while working out or gaze onto the Port of Seattle and much of downtown while swimming in the small pool. A soak in the sauna is accompanied by views of Safeco Field and the Seahawks Stadium. The notable fitness room has a Brazilian cherry wood floor made of wood leftover from the construction of the deck at the mega-mansion of Microsoft bigwig Bill Gates.
very nice hotel – The Renaisannce Madison is very nice, but shows it's age. The hotel staff is very professional and attentive. The advertised rates are too high for the property. I got my room for $80 on Priceline. Well worth that price.
A Great Stay Downtown – The Madison Reanaissance (MR) is a beautiful grand hotel in Downtown Seattle. There are other more historic and elegant hotels but the MR brings the amenities of a large corporate hotel with more comfort and style than most. You can usually procure a great rate from the hotel itself or other travel web sites. I have received a free room upgrade every time I have stayed at the MR.

This indicator focuses on patients who were admitted to the hospital as inpatients after visiting the Emergency Department, not those who went home after being treated in the Emergency Department. It measures the average time these patients spent in the Emergency Department after a physician decided to admit them as inpatients to the time they left the Emergency Department for their hospital beds.

State regulators on Thursday cleared Southern California Edison to raise electricity rates by 5 percent to cover the cost of providing "safe and reliable" electricity and integrating renewable energy sources.
"While today's decision results in a rate increase for SCE's ratepayers, this is a necessary investment in our future," said California Public Utilities Commissioner Mike Florio.
Edison estimated residential customers' monthly bills will increase an average of about $7. The hike is retroactive to January of this year, but won't go into effect until early 2013.
The rate increase was shy of the 16.6 percent requested by the private utility.
The commission ordered Edison to try harder to cut costs, and the commission disallowed some of what it called "non- essential" projects. The ruling will force the utility to cut operations and maintenance expenses by about $258 million and spending on capital projects by $756 million.
CPUC Commissioner Timothy Alan Simon, who led the review, said the decision strikes a balance between the goals of the utility and protecting ratepayers.
"This decision ensures that SCE is able to invest in smart energy systems, renewables and safety and reliability while its ratepayers are protected under the CPUC's prudent review," Simon said.
The decision authorizes Edison to beef up equipment inspections and to use new technology to better track the condition and service record of the utility's assets. Regulators also ordered an independent review of SCE's system utility poles to determine whether current loads meet legal standards and an independent audit of SCE's spending on infrastructure repair and replacement.
The report by the CPUC addressed widespread criticism over Southern California Edison's response to a 2011 windstorm. The commission required SCE to the commission with a progress report next year on the utility's stated commitments to improve communications with customers during emergencies.

Talk to almost anyone who has been in a traffic crash and they're likely
to begin: "It happened so fast."
Indeed, just a split second distraction can lead to a disaster on today's
often-crowded roadways, according to the Bureau of Traffic Safety of the Kansas
Department of Transportation.
That makes concentration on the task at-hand – driving – imperative.
While multi-tasking might be a valuable trait in a workplace, it doesn't
lend itself to driving.
According to a recent study by the University of North Carolina Highway Safety
Research Center funded by the AAA Foundation for Traffic Safety, each year an
estimated 284,000 distracted drivers are involved in serious crashes. Distracted
driving is believed to be a factor in up to 50 percent of accidents.
Common distractions cited in the study were adjusting a radio or CD player,
talking with other occupants in the car, adjusting temperature controls, eating
or drinking, talking on cell phones and smoking. Disciplining children, rummaging
through purses, searching on the floorboard for a dropped item, studying a map
or reading also are common distractions.
The Bureau of Traffic Safety offers these tips to discourage distracted driving:

Factors Associated With Weight Regain After Weight Loss IdentifiedPosted: Thursday, July 03, 2008
Factors associated with weight regain after substantial weight loss are identified in a study in which data from the 1999 - 2002 National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) were analyzed.
Lead author Edward C. Weiss, MD, MPH, a medical epidemiologist at the National Center for Chronic Disease Prevention at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention in Atlanta, Georgia, stated that, "The finding that nearly 6 in 10 adults who had experienced substantial weight loss maintained their weight within 5% in the past year is encouraging." "Weight loss as little as 10% in an overweight or obese individual can reduce risk factors for diabetes and cardiovascular disease. To be successful at reducing these risk factors in the long term, weight loss must be maintained."
The objectives of this analysis were to determine the prevalence and predictors of weight regain in US adults who had had substantial weight loss.
The NHANES investigators examined 1310 US adults aged 20 to 84 years who were overweight or obese (body mass index, ˇÝ 25 kg/m2) at their maximum weight and who had experienced substantial weight loss, defined as weight 10% less than their maximum weight 1 year before they were surveyed.
Compared with their weight 1 year before they were surveyed, 7.6% of participants had continued to lose more than 5% of their body weight, 58.9% had maintained their weight within 5%, and 33.5% had regained more than 5% of their body weight.
Traci Mann, PhD, an associate professor of psychology at the University of California, stated that, "A substantial number of people regain all the weight they lose on diets." Dr. Mann was not involved with this study but was asked to provide independent commentary. "Diets do not consistently lead to sustained weight loss, particularly among individuals who lose the most weight."
Factors associated with weight regain, as opposed to weight maintenance or loss, included Mexican-American ethnicity, loss of a greater percentage of maximum weight, fewer years elapsed since reaching maximum weight (2 - 5 vs > 10 years), reporting greater television or screen viewing time (ˇÝ 4 vs 0 - 1 hours), attempting to control weight, sedentary lifestyle, and not meeting public health recommendations for physical activity.
"Mexican Americans had higher odds of weight regain than non-Hispanic whites, and those who were sedentary or not meeting physical activity recommendations and those who reported greater daily screen time, such as TV, video, or computer use, had higher odds of weight regain," Dr. Weiss said. "Regular physical activity has been consistently associated with long-term weight loss maintenance; however, weight regulation depends both upon caloric intake as well caloric expenditure. Balancing caloric intake with activity level works on energy balance from both sides, what is taken in, as well as how much is used; in addition, eating a healthy diet and being physically active can reduce the risk of chronic diseases, such as heart disease or diabetes."

10 Tips For Success At Job Fairs
by Norine Dagliano - Aug, 2013
Recently, I attended a local job fair and spoke to several of the employers to solicit their response to the following question: "If you were to offer one tip for job seekers attending a job fair, what would it be?" The two answers given most frequently? "Dress professionally" and "Communicate what you want and what you have to offer." This seemed like common sense to me, but considering how many employers mentioned these...
Leverage Your Added Value as a "Job Hopper"
by Norine Dagliano - Jun, 2012
I was recently coaching a job seeker who was lamenting the fact that she has had multiple job changes over a course of five years. She attempted to minimize attention to this fact by combining positions on her résumé, not revealing that she had recently ended one job and begun another. She attempted to direct the employer's attention to what she labeled "Summary of Qualifications", although nowhere on the résumé did she answer...
My Physical Response to Job Loss
by Norine Dagliano - Jun, 2012
Losing a job is quite an emotional experience – looking for your next opportunity leans more toward the cerebral. Until you can come to terms with the first, it is difficult to tackle the latter. I recall my last job loss more than 10 years ago as if it were yesterday. I have always had the reputation of being the logical, analytical one that doesn't get sidetracked by the emotional aspects of life. There is some truth in...
The Problem with Being "Open"
by Norine Dagliano - Feb, 2012
Recently I began providing job search coaching for clients who are receiving services through their university. Each coaching session is done over the phone and limited to one hour, so it is imperative that I cover as much as I can to help each job candidate jumpstart or enhance their job search efforts. All of my calls cover a variety of topics; however, if I were only able to provide just one nugget of advice that would dram...
Visualizing a "New You" is Essential to Changing Careers
by Norine Dagliano - Feb, 2012
One of the more difficult hurdles to surmount when making a career change is to begin thinking and talking about you in a new way. When we have been in a role for a very long time, we have an ingrained way of thinking, communicating and acting that reflects this. If you want your prospective employer to see you play the part for which you are "auditioning," it is essential that you take on the persona of that "character"....
How to Not to Fumble the Interview
by Norine Dagliano - Oct, 2011
Sometimes job seekers do the strangest things. Take the interview, for example. As with football, sometimes things can go badly in a split second and put you out of the game. Some of the common reasons interviewers reject candidates are things that are totally within the job seeker's control. Naturally, I can reference a dating experience to illustrate many of these: Showed up late: Getting lost or not planning enough t...
Résumé Formats: What is Acceptable "Attire"?
by Norine Dagliano - Oct, 2011
Ensuring that your résumé format works in every situation is a bit tricky. Do you create it using MS Word or is an alternate word-processing program acceptable? Is it okay to include tables, graphs, shaded text boxes, and/or borders? How about color and graphics? Yes, I do have a dating analogy to answer those questions! Suppose you accept a date with an outdoorsman who wants to take you hiking? Obviously the proper atti...

You Have to Put Yourself Out There
by Norine Dagliano - Jun, 2011
Many years ago, when I was between my first and second marriage, I found a delightful little book entitled The Divorced Woman's Guide to Meeting New Men. The basic premise of the book was that you need to "put yourself out there". Go where single people go; talk about subjects single people talk about; dress and act like a person who is interested in a new relationship. Not only did the book contain all kinds of great "network...
Get a New Job Faster by Redefining Your Goals
by Norine Dagliano - Oct, 2010
If you or someone you know has made a New Year's resolution to get a new job, I have one good piece of advice – stop looking for job openings. Yes, you read that correctly – structuring your activities around trying to locate suitable job openings increases your frustration level, as well as the likelihood that almost every day will end without reward. Following is an accurate definition of a "job opening" that I recently...

Resolve conflicting accounts
Some users might create a personal Google account using their email address at your company or school. If you then sign up for a Google enterprise product and add those users to your organization's account, they'll have the same address in both their personal and enterprise account. When they next sign in to their personal Google account, they'll be asked to resolve this conflicting account.
Here's how to resolve conflicting accounts or keep them from happening in the first place.
A conflicting account exists if a user created a personal Google account with the same email address as Google enterprise account managed by your organization. Conflicting accounts most commonly occur if your users were signing in to Picasa Web Albums, Blogger, or other Google services, before your organization signed up for Google entertprise services.
What is not a conflicting account. Personal Google accounts that don't use your organization's Google address as either the primary or alias email address. For example, a personal Gmail account (firstname.lastname@example.com) with no alias addresses is never a conflicting account.
After you add users who then have conflicting accounts, they are prompted to rename their personal Google account the next time they sign in to it. All data within their personal account will remain in the account when it's renamed. Note that users have full control over the renaming process; administrators don't participate in this process.
If the user has added their organization-managed address as an alternate email address (or email alias) in their personal Google account, the alias is removed from the personal accounts and the user will see notification of this change the next time they sign-in.
Before adding users to your Google enterprise account, ask them if they've created a personal Google account using your organization's email address. If they have, ask them to rename their personal account. When they do this, the data in their personal accounts remains safe and accessible to them. Here's how a user can rename their personal Google account:
If a user has an @gmail.com account and has added your organization's address to that account as an alternate address, ask them to remove the alternate address to avoid a conflict.
- Go to www.google.com/accounts and sign in to your personal Google account.
- Follow links to add an email address.
- Enter another email address where you can receive mail. Then enter your password and click Save email address.
If you don't have another addresses where you can receive mail, enter an @gmail.com addresses instead.
- Check mail at your other email address and click the link in the verification message from Google to confirm your change.
If you've already created the user's Google enteprise account, then the next time they sign in to a consumer product they'll be asked to change their account. For example, if email@example.com has a conflicting account with your organization, she would see these options when she signs into a consumer product:
- Change to an account with a Gmail address (firstname.lastname@example.com or another available gmail name)
- Change to an account with a different email address (uses her firstname.lastname@example.com address)
- Sign-in with a temporary username Google provides (firstname.lastname@example.com)
Note: All conflicting accounts must be resolved. If the user chooses the final option, her account will automatically be renamed to the temporary name Google provides. She'll also be presented with these same options each time she signs in, until she chooses a permanent solution.
In all cases, the data in their personal accounts remains safe and accessible to them.

Younger brother of Johann Alexander (b. at Tübingen, 1509; d. at Vienna, 3 June, 1549) went to Vienna with his brother in 1524 and likewise won distinction both as a philologist and jurist. He spent some time in the service of Sigmund von Herberstein and Nicholas Oláh, and obtained the title of court historiographer of the Roman King, after which he studied law at Heidelberg (after 1532). Having been professor of Greek in Vienna for a short time (1534) and likewise in Padua, where in 1536 he was made doctor iuris, he was appointed professor of the Institutes at Vienna in 1537, and later professor of canon law. King Ferdinand summoned him to his council, at the same coat of arms. He was twice rector of the university and four times dean. In 1544 he was made provincial superintendent, achieving considerable reputation as a public official. He seldom wrote anything for publication, and left only a few addresses and treatises on legal subjects.

Conscription? Wow, what a marvelous, poisonous and timely proposal. Particularly when neither political party will touch a wartime draft with a 10-foot pole. We are at war on three fronts, are we not? Mention of a draft in the Hallowed Halls of Halloween (Congress) is as taboo a subject as when Congress decides to raise its own wages, a "privilege" denied to everyone else who works for wages. That's why they do it in the middle of the night, when everyone is asleep. Why not pass a military conscription bill at 2 a.m.? What's sauce for the goose is good for the dander.
I mention that we're in a war on three fronts – and you probably wonder where the one other than Afghanistan and Iraq is. As you wonder, keep in mind I'm talking war on a pragmatic scale, and do not include the political or economic fronts. Sure, we're having a semi-serious economic tussle with China at the moment, the Cold War is being resurrected with Russia, we've pissed off the rest of the world (excluding Poland, Israel and England), we're rattling anticipatory bomb-the-crap-out-of-'em sabers with Iran, North Korea, Syria and others, and we're in the midst of an uncivil war among ourselves, but these are all problems for which a military solution is on the back burner.
The three war fronts that are occupying our time and stupidity at the moment (while eating up our money, human mortality, respect and popularity) are in Afghanistan, Iraq and "the terrorists" in general. At this moment and into the immediate future, our wars on Afghanistan and Iraq are insolvable. I likewise fear our war on terrorism likely will never be solved, short of conquering the entire world, instigating a global police state and totally eliminating subterfuge, which is basically terrorism wearing another hat. Oh my, the price of empire, but come Armageddon or hell and high water our government and those who support and control it insist on giving it a go. The problem with terrorism is that until you eliminate the root cause, you end up creating two more terrorists for every terrorist you eliminate. The upside is that nothing beats playing an ultimate zero sum game while guaranteeing prosperity forever like war.
Isn't it weird how life works? In the 1930s the industrialized world was mired in an economic and psychological Great Depression and lo and behold a chap named Adolph Hitler came along and saved the day by promising Germany a thousand-year Reich (empire) by conquering the whole of Europe plus the additional countries and continents which contained the resources needed to fuel his economy and war machine. The rest is a history lesson, and I'll leave it at that, except to mention that the mechanism that defeated the evil tyrant was debt. Good old newfangled American debt. Unabashed and irresponsible debt that works so well, it now has no known limits. Debt that created a standard of living that's the envy of most, but not all, of the rest of the world. Debt that fuels the consumptive appetite of a country with one-twentieth of the world's population using a third of its resources. Debt that requires we secure our resource base through war, covert and otherwise, to keep our engine running and expanding.
Oh, did I mention that debt and war are blood brothers? It's true. When George W. Bush stole the presidency the first time, the U. S. wasn't engaged in an open physical war with anyone. Now, some six-and three-quarter years (and a triple front war later), highlighted by our invasion of an innocent country, our national debt has soared from about $6 trillion dollars to $9 trillion and is climbing into the cosmosphere. Good old American debt and war, the envy of the world, made possible by the concept of central banking, AKA the Federal Reserve System.
But wait, something has suddenly gone horribly awry, to wit this news headline on August 9: Stocks Plunge as Lending Worries Mount. Lending (debt) of the type used to save the economy and the Bushite presidency a few years back that let people who didn't have a prayer or more than ten bucks to their name buy a home with no money down and a dollar-a-month payments (figuratively) isn't working anymore. These people are cruelly being forced to suddenly begin paying the true cost of the loan. In other words, plain and simple, pony up or push on. Well push has turned to shove and these people are being evicted lock, stock and over a barrel. Said barrel, incidentally, big enough to contain the entire country and flatten the economy.
Yep, unfettered American debt and its inseparable companion, war, are both rebelling simultaneously. Being inseparable, you have to wonder, how that can be? We're beyond broke, have suddenly begun to realize we can't give away the (credit, "free" homes) store forever, and now irresponsible consequences has begun to assert its place at the table. Hence, credit has begun to tighten its belt a bit, and the investors go ape, just because a humongous debt made monkeys out of (and a lot of money for) many of us Americans fortunate enough to be alive at this point in time.
So how to save our economic butts? Think stupidity 101, guys. War and debt, remember? A fiend in need is a friend indeed. It doesn't take to much reasoning to figure out that if war and debt go together like a politician and a lie that the greater the debt, the bigger the war needed to offset it. That brings us back to George W. Bush. More than half the people in America think he's nothing more than a smirking idiot, but I beg to differ. Sure, he's made most of the rest of the world hate America, but that's primo because depending on its size and depth, terrorism alone may not be enough to supply the massive war our debt begs. Concomitantly, we cannot expect to recycle National Guard troops forever or rely on a decreasing voluntary military recruitment program to supply the troops we're going to soon need to fight all the wars we're going to need to create to keep the debt, juices, dollars and military budget allotments flowing.
Notice how all the pieces fit together nicely? The Army Lt. General Douglas Lute, who advocates a wartime draft, is a man ahead of the game and behind the curve. Eternal war requires bodies. We're overdue for an increase in our military of about, say, 20 million new recruits and all the associated military hardware and money needed to support them. Recruits that are only going to come about through a wartime draft, as in the situation we're in now.
War that's going to save our increasingly shaky and downright scary economy. But don't ask me, follow the big boys.
I'll close with a couple of urgent suggestions: One, in the upcoming elections, be sure to vote for presidential candidates and congresspersons who advocate war, debt and prosperity; and, two, to all you conservative warhawks and liberal welfare leeches who are feeding off the conservative ideology, may I suggest you immediately hustle your draft-age kids down to the nearest government recruiting office to serve as cannon fodder, because my anxiety level has been ratcheted up a few notches lately and harsh reality is beginning to kick in.
Who says life in these increasingly complicated times can't be simplified? The proof is in, and the equation is straightforward: Eternal war and bottomless debt are now irreversibly and inseparably entwined in our quality of life. Other than becoming a worthless and straight-from-the-devil liberal, God forbid, do we have any other choice? Upon further review, I'll venture that Hitler lost World War II because he failed to recognize the value of irresponsible debt.
For God's-favored-nation's sake, can't we just attack Iran and put a stop to this asinine subprime mortgage hemorrhaging?
