This is for My Mom
Greetings all, after a 650 mile bike ride on a Ninja 250 crotch rocket, weighed down with 50 pounds of rocks and gear, your beloved Captain is back in Minneapolis.
Not related to economics, but thought you all might enjoy some photos at your leisure, however I am also putting these photos up here so I don't have to show everybody in my family and friends the pictures multiple times.
This is the dance hall in Edgemont, SD where we went to the county fair
These are some "cowgirls" that Natasha thought was cute and wanted to take a picture of. They shortly thereafter joined the boys over the fence where they engaged them in a game of "tackle each other in horse manure" which is a long-standing tradition in Edgemont.
This is the fairgrounds in Edgemont.
This is about mile 6 in what would be a 20 mile hike through the heart of the Black Hills. The peak there is Harney's peak which is the highest point between the Rockies and I think the Alps.
This is Dewey. There is nothing in Dewey. Not even fossils. (note the Indiana Jone's hat however).
This is the top of St. Elmo's Peak.
This is Wyoming.
This is me failing at fishing in the Spearfish Canyon (where the Harley Riders drive their powerful motorcycles REALLY SLOW). This is also me telling Obama to go to hell if he thinks I'm going to work more to pay more taxes so that others may parasite off of me and the system (notice my indifference to the fact I am NOT contributing to GDP). I think this might make a good motivational poster like "Go Galt: Because When Your Marginal Tax Rate is 78%, Why Volunteer to Become a Host to Parasites?"
This is looking down into the Spearfish Canyon. The climb was difficult.
This is me. And behind me is Spearfish Peak.
This is Crows Nest. I took this picture from Little Crow's Nest Peak.
This is again me showing how exited you should be if you climb Spear Fish Peak.
This is Dr. Barb and my brontothere fossil. The kid in the picture was somewhat excited about going on a fossil hunt originally, until she found out that Dr. Barb was a woman. Then she became exstatic. Never mind I found the damn thing, never mind it's a brontothere. Oh, no, that doesn't matter that icky gross "boy" Cappy Cap found it. But "what? Dr. Barb is a woman! Hot damn, let's go fossil hunting!"
These are "Clarey's Angels." They did not tell me about the shirts when they came to visit. All they did was go into their cabin and say they were going to dress up and that I should too. So I come out of my bathroom all changed and boom, I see this. I could potentially be "somewhat" spoiled.
This is why we dressed up; the commander at the VFW in town. This is in Hot Springs, SD which is NOT a big town, but the commander runs the best damn VFW in the nation and dresses appropriately. I will write about him more, but he is also one of the many vets at the VFW that was kind enough to give me their money in two separate Texas Hold Em tournaments.
There are more but that is more or less the gist of my vacation.

A Question to My Idiotic Younger Friends
I know, I know, Obama got elected by more than just the meth-addicted, American-Idol worshipping, teeny-boopers who voted for him based on "coolness" and not whether he had the slightest bit of competency and experience. I know, I'm aware of that. There were people who were just sick of Bush, hippies who whilst celebrating the 40th anniversary of Woodstock also wanted to be cool and young too, and your stalwart pull the level democrats,
BUT
he could NOT have gotten elected without the American Idol children.
Now, I try to convince people about the true and genuine danger this socialist (which is what he is) brings to America. I try every way possible from data and charts and information, to logical arguments, to reviewing the history of socialism, to even resorting to berating them for their stupidity and pointing out just how little they know about economics and therefore really shouldn't have the right to vote.
But maybe, JUST MAYBE, this simple line of logic may penetrate the Panzer-tank-like-armor-thick skulls of today's American late teens and 20 somethings;
If this is the result of the government running a $3 billion "cash for clunkers" program, just how well do you think the government is going to run health care?
Am I getting anywhere? Is the light starting to go on? Are you starting to think "hey, maybe I should just set aside my zealotlike commitment to the socialist ideology and maybe ask what kind of future I and my future children will have in this country?" Like now would be the time to become and adult, forget the protesting and think really hard about the budgetary and economic ramifications of this?
Bueller?
Bueller?

Where's the White House
Curiously, the White House is missing from this popularity poll;
AH, The Economist. Subtle biased reporting at it's best.

Effective Tax Rates
Or as I like to call it
"Where not to move to"
Of course, I disagree with this as the main measure of taxation. The best measure of taxation is government spending as a percent of GDP. And the reasons why are thusly;
1. Income and social pension tax are not the only taxes you pay. You pay state income tax, sales tax, capital gains tax, corporate tax (but idiotic leftists will say, "NO, CORPORATIONS PAY THOSE TAXES!" And corporations are owned by WHO EXACTLY? Oh, that's right, everybody with a 401k and grandma's pension.), licenses, VAT tax, etc. etc. etc. However, it's much easier to measure total tax by taking the total revenue governments take in which accounts for all forms of taxes.
2. You can't even just consider government revenue as the total tax, because those silly governments like to spend more than they bring in. Well how do they pay back the debt they incur by running all those deficits? Well they can only pay back government debt via one way; MORE TAXES. Of course these are deferred into the future by mortgaging your children and grandchildren's futures, but hey, what do you care? You'll be dead by the time those idiotic youth figure it out. "Hey kid, here's an I-pod and why don't you watch more Teen Idol. Don't pay attention to these boring budget figures."

The Captain is Victorious
I spent $60 on an out of state fishing license for South Dakota.
My economist mind went to work and after pricing fillets of fish at the local supermarket, I figured I would need to catch 7.5 sizeable fish to fillet them and earn back the savings to pay for my fishing license.
Of course I haven't caught a damn fish worth filleting, but the old adage is true;
"Unlucky in fishing, lucky in Fairburn Agate hunting."
Fairburn agates, as they call them, are South Dakota's state rock. Seemingly "nothing exciting" to the untrained eye, their intricate patterns is what makes them quite valuable in the gem world. I wouldn't have even considered them gems, but given their prices range from anywhere from $20 for El Crapo ones to $40,000 for the more insanely rare ones, they are a more profitable venture than trying to pan for gold.
In any case, your Captain has been victorious in his hunt for Fairburn Agates. Found three of them today!
Now, I know, I know. All the cappy cap girls MUST learn to control themselves, because not only is your dear Captain an accomplished fossil hunter, tornado chaser, economist, video game player AND ballroom, dancer, he is now a successful FAIRBURN AGATE HUNTER.
You may swoon now.
Sadly only 48 more hours of vacation, and then a SLOW, ENJOYABLE trip back to the communist, Al Franken, Crocus Pot Smoking Hippie Hill, POS land known as Minnesota.
Yea, more taxes and spoiled brat suburbanite children who go to Carleton. Yea.

Proposal Economics
Because, really, *AND I MEAN THIS! REALLY*
diamond rings are a freaking waste;
http://www.leasticoulddo.com/comic/20090828
And if girl tells you otherwise, then ask her how many starving children in Africa that $5,000 ring would feed for how many years.
Yeah, that's what I thought.
Don't get me started on the waste that occurs in weddings.

From a Reader
It is a bit lengthy, but our good reader, Broadsword, makes some deeper points if you care to read through. I am currently failing miserably at fishing and stand no chance of recouping the $60 I spent on a non-state-resident fishing license;
Sorry, somethings wrong with the text, my bad. Tried working at it and it still isn't coming through. I will try to post it later after vacation.

Oh, Isn't That Cute
I can hear the emasculated, 20 something, mommy-paid-my-way-though-college man's voice on the other end. It tells me he forgot one key important thing;
OH, THAT'S RIGHT, DUMBASS, MEDICARE IS BROKE BECAUSE THE GOVERNMENT MISMANAGED IT SO HORRIBLY! Amazing how he never managed to discuss how the "Medicare" system is busted.
Wow, cartoons are cute! I think I'll convince another 20 million idiotic 20 somethings to think just like my skinny, goatee wearing-never-getting-any-pansy-ass while we vote for our next president on American Idol.

How to Argue Against Socialism and Defend Capitalism is Now Available
Howdy All,
After some editing and some serious crash coursing in MS Movie Maker my speech, "How to Argue Against Socialism and Defend Capitalism" is now available online.
This speech is quite simply A MUST for all people who believe in free markets, capitalism, freedom and true progress. It is unique (in my humble opinion) in that it is the only one of its kind where it comprehensively covers not just the logical and philosophical arguments for capitalism, but also provides your everyday person with the empirical data that supports capitalism. It also delves into the leftist mind with insights that help you understand where the left is coming from and how to engage them when debating with them.
Understand that this is the entire speech in its original format. It was taped professionally and will be aired on TV in the future, but this "professional version" will be an abbreviated version of it. I wanted to make sure the ENTIRE 2 hour 10 minute version was available in that there are many different aspects to this debate that need addressing and I wanted to cover them all.
It is a LONG seminar, but understand that in those short 2 hours and 10 minutes, you will be armed with an immense amount of data, as well as a strategic understanding of the psychology of the left that you will be immeasurably more capable of arguing for free markets, low taxes, freedom and liberty. More importantly I review different economic resources you can go to where by you can research and investigate on your own.
To download the video click here and do the "save as" thing (many thanks to FRANK! for hosting it!)
It is 237 MB so it may take a bit to download, but as always with some of my lengthier works, this will grant you the time to pour yourself a martini, light up a cigar and get comfy in your recliner.
Also, it would mean the world to me if you could mention this not only to your friends, but to Glenn Beck or Rush Limbaugh or somebody out there that has a little more pull than me. I ask this not for the attention, but as you will see the data and concepts in this speech really are that good, and the more people we can get to see this speech, the better armed we will be in fighting the forces of socialism in this country.
Many thanks!

Venture Bank
Venture Bank of Bloomington, Minnesota is one that I have interviewed with multiple times.
Of course I never received a job offer, because, well, if we were to put it simply;
I HAVE MY HEAD OUT OF MY ASS.
However, as you are no doubt fully aware, banks, bankers and the financial industry in general, prefer you to have your head up your ass, or at least be willing to french-kiss some ass in order to be employed, and that leads us to our recurring lesson about the American financial system;
It is more important that you kiss ass than kick ass.
It is more important to bend over than make profit.
It is more important to ignore reality and play ball as we all enjoy a free bailout on the American taxpayer's back as we pay ourselves enough money to buy ourselves houses and boats on Lake Minnetonka even though we don't deserve it and pose as "real" business men just like Tom Petters and Denny Hecker.
Now, I won't go into details but I interviewed twice AND offered them my Independent Analytics services and they wanted nothing to do with it. Of course, for a mere 10% of their losses THIS ONE QUARTER, I would have prevented it.
But (and pay attention to all of you thinking about entering finance/economics as a career, because it will change your minds to major in something like computer programming or engineering where your bosses have to adhere to the laws of PHYSICS and not the laws of some middle aged dumbass with too much of daddy's money in lalaland) you see it is more important to the powers that be in the finance world that you be a conforming automoton than any real leader with any real brains and any real talent with any real hope of delivering any real increases in real profitability.
I have been thinking about this on my motorcycle rides throughout the Black Hills, and it almost seems to me that the people who are currently in the positions of power in the US coroprate world almost value "conformance" and "slavery" and "power" over "profits" or "efficiency." It's enough that I am seriously considering contacting a labor economist I know to see if there is a way to measure how much value a middle aged dumbass places on conformance versus performance. Perhaps that could be a labor economist's thesis
"Conformance vs. Performance."
In any case and in all seriousness, I'm just gloating in the losses the dumbasses at "Venture" *ooooooh, isn't that exciting! "Venture" - yeah, like "ventures into bankruptcy"* "Bank" is suffering right now.
Of course, it all could have been avoided, if they had just...
aw, fuck it, never mind. I should have been born in the 20's.

Last Days of Vacation
Hi All,
I am entering the last few days of my vacation and will thusly be spending it fishing, hiking and slowly making my way back to Minneapolis.
Posts will be light, but I will schedule a couple recession medicine cartoons here and there.
In the meantime take the full 2 hours to watch the video below, hopefully that will be enough economic data to last you a while.

The Capitalism - Socialism Speech
Howdy All,
I've finally been able to put together the video of my speech "How to Argue Against Socialism and Defend Capitalism"
Only problem is that I cannot find a video sharing service to upload it to that allows for the length and file size of the video. It is 237 MB and 2 hours 10 minutes long.
DOES ANYBODY KNOW ANY VIDEO SHARING SERVICE THAT WOULD ALLOW ME TO UPLOAD THIS???
Otherwise I will have to just burn it to DVD and mail it out (unfortunately I would have to charge for it to pay for postage and handling).

This Is Your Captain Speaking
No mention of the book, but still.
And to the CEO who said I was misrepresenting what was going on?
HA! You're a liar.
And that is how simple it is.

Your Captain Has Failed
I thought I had found a dinosaur.
Turns out it was just a "brontothere" an ice age creature that had a skull of about 4 feet long.
All that being said, it was actually awesome to have Dr. Barb (the US Forest Service's official, tippy top super paleontologist) come out and dig out the ONE bone I did find and in all truthfulness, I'll be perfectly happy finding a brontothere.
Of course, Natasha found TWO dinosaurs, but that is another story.
Post post - Brontotheres were portrayed in Ice Age as the two, um...effeminate rhinos (have to skip to the video)

Outstanding Journalism
I am not a professional journalist, but then again, I really don't believe in "professional journalism." I believe people, especially now armed with the internet, can find out the truth for themselves and don't need some worthless C- student who can't do algebra going to J school, writing for a newspaper telling them what to think.
But you have to hand it to Kate at SDA. She does this "SDA juxtaposes" theme, but this is one of the best ones where she exposes this fraud-nationalized-health-care-whore/professional protester.
You want to talk about people in the media who actually care about society, well it ain't freaking Dan Rather.
