January 30th


I VOTED. HAVE YOU?

I love absentee ballots. My ballot for the California primary election is completed and mailed. I really don't have a lot of use for any of the main contenders, so in the primary I voted for Ron Paul. I like the way he thinks: Ron Paul on Health Freedom . I don't believe that vaccines are good for any living thing, and I truly resent that the gummit tries to force us to vaccinate ourselves, our children and our pets. He won't win, but I wish he could.

THE JOB SEARCH-STILL SUCKS!

Not even a glimmer of hope here. I did get a response to a resume, but it just made me mad. I applied for a position as a manager that sounded very much like a legitimate job. I got this response:
"Thank you for responding to Fellow Solutions, Inc's job offer on Craigslist. I represent Fellow Solutions, Inc. My name is Aleksandr Kostanda, I'm a manager of this company. We are a rapidly growing
comprehensive Business Solutions, Internet and Website Design company. We specialize in getting businesses onto the Internet quickly and professionally.We have been in Business 7 Years and many of our staff have been involved with the Internet for a lot longer, we are somewhat of an OLD business in this
relatively new industry.
Our manager team will grow the next 3 months. In this e-mail I will kindly let you into the details of Fellow Solutions, Inc position of Manager.
Our Marketing Department has developed a perfect idea to boost sales (our company produces web items).The idea is to have more subsidiaries that would resell our Webstite Templates. As more we have the
websites (subsidiaries) as more we can get new customers and of course we get more profit. The advantage of having such subsidiaries lies in having different business names sell our web design services. It's business strategy. Manager is the person who owns a subsidiary company.Anyone can do this, because
setting up a small company of your own is very simple, and provided with easy-to-follow
step-by-step instructions of your personal Fellow Solutions, Inc manager. After your company is set up, Fellow Solutions, Inc will create a website (online store) for you which will resell our templates.
Final step is launching your store live on the web and taking your commission from sales. Your income will increase as the business progresses.
Let me emphasize extremely advantageous features that are sure to help you make the right decision and become our partner. They are:
- No skills and experience in programming and web design are required from you. Fellow Solutions, Inc professionals will handle all technical questions; - You will not have to sell or advertise anything. It is our special marketing department that will be responsible for it; - It's good opportunity for the manager because for this work he spends not too much time and can work for his usual work and for our company because we have the opportunity to enter to the USA's market.

Gee. Think this just might be a scam?

ADS FOR CONTENT?

The Google ads over there ---> are supposed to be selected by some robotic brain based on the content of my blog. Sometimes I get a chuckle out of them.

I posted about FlufferNutter eating the power chord, an ad shows up for Pet Cremation. What? You think I'm going to kill him?

I wrote about needing a job, and this showed up:
Need Unemployment?
Get facts about unemployment Get a $250 grocery food debit card.
No. I have unemployment. I need a job! I could use an extension of unemployment BENEFITS though.

And, when I wrote about Hillary, I got this:
"The Hillary Nutcracker; Great gift Stainless Steel Thighs" I don't think that requires any further comment.

CHANNEL 10 STUFF:

From a field reporter: “The night was rather calm than usual.”

And, from the mid-day anchor, the Queen of Mispronunciation: “...various muscle tissues.” Pronounced “musk-el”

"FREE BEE'S
I HAVE A BALL OF BEE'S THAT ARE CLUMPED TO THE HANDRAIL OF MY PORCH I'M SURE THE QUEEN IS AT THE VERY BOTTOM AND THE BALL IS GROWING, ABOUT THE SIZE OF A CHILDS HEAD. FREE FOR THE TAKING."
Bee's what? Bee's knees? Another illiterate moron trying to get people to work for free.

"Hours Of Working(Book-Keeper Needed)" Huh?

OTHER MISCELLANEOUS MORONS (besides the ones who use all of their lifelines before they even get to the $1000 question...)

From the implode-o-meter about another mortgage company going under:
We spoke to CFO Massoud Kamrooz. He feels making the switch to Retail is the best way to manage the turmoil in the marketplace, without being "forced to close." In a very open letter to us, he places the blame squarely on Wall Street shoulders:
"The purpose of this communication is to inform you that Allied Lending is not closed; we are only temporarily suspending the Wholesale Division, but focusing on Retail at this time.
Declining Markets as well as games played by GIANT FINANCIAL COMPANIES to smash the small companies and chopping down the large Banks by so called CONSULTING them for better and profitable business (Which is in fact profiting only themselves) but in fact they are setting them up so that they can be acquired at much lower price.
We know and it has been proven most Foreclosures are not because of rate changes, but only bad and greedy decision making by some INDIVIDUALS who acted as Borrowers. These people were not creditworthy neither have any positive effect on Real Estate market. These are the people whom falsified their applications and acquired several properties with the purpose of selling them back within 6 to 12 months and profiting hundreds of thousands of dollars.
I believe the # one reason that the market is in this position, because some Giant Financial Companies saw the opportunity and rather than going after these Borrowers and take some of them to highest level of the law as well as exposing them to all the news media so others will see and stop doing same. Because these large corporations wanted to make all these work for their own benefit only, and ignored the fact that this will put hundreds of thousands workers out of job as well as opened more doors to give the same Borrowers better venue to continue their fraudulent acts."
But, he's not bitter. Perhaps the main problem with the business was that people like him were running companies.

I also have rec'd an out of the blue email from Fellow Solutions. Are these guys legitimate? Are there other agents in the U.S. for this company from Bulgaria?

I doubt it. I would bet that your "commission" will come from phony checks. You will get a check, be instructed to deposit it and wire the money, minus your share, to the company. The bank will then discover that the check was no good and you'll be out the whole amount.
