Live long enough and you’ll pretty much see and hear everything. I’ve seen a pitcher strike out five — count ’em — five batters in one inning<\/strong>, standing right behind the catcher. I’ve seen a so-called conservative president actually increase<\/em> the requested spending of a bill authored by Ted Kennedy. Hell, I’ve even seen, be still my heart, the Chargers in the Super Bowl and the Padres in two<\/strong> World Series.<\/p>\n

I wonder what odds Las Vegas would lay on me agreeing with the Huffington Post that today is New Year’s Eve? Let’s just say she and I could save each other a buncha time on election days by not voting, since we cancel each other’s vote every time out on virtually every issue\/office. <\/p>\n

But then it happened. Huffington coauthored a post with Rob Johnson<\/a> on the topic of what we, as regular folk, can do about the abusive conduct of most of the To Big To Fail banks. It’s both simple and brilliant. They even provide a pithy video and a link to a list of local banks in your community.<\/p>\n

The idea? Let’s all take our money outa those thug-like banks and move it to local institutions. The money will still be equally insured. Imagine the message it’ll send to not only the TBTF’s but to Pennsylvania Avenue and Capitol HIll who, so far, have been the poster folks for clueless in D.C. <\/p>\n

Anywho, thought it was worth sharing. <\/p>\n

Happy New Year!!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
