The List Grows!

Most of you already know about the arrest of Bernard Madoff, but did you know the list of clients he had? I was just reading that Madoff said the list of clients that where part of the Ponzi scheme where 25. But that seems not to be the case as Federal Investigators dig deeper. Some of the affected ones of this scheme is Former Philadelphia Eagles owner Norman Braman, New York Mets owner Fred Wilpon and J. Ezra Merkin and the chairman of GMAC Financial Services just to name a few. This scheme as also reached a few non-profit groups, banks, health system, hedge fund and even the Town of Fairfield, Conn. I feel that Bernard Madoff should go to prison until the day he dies. This man had everything, and blow it all away on scheme. And in the end he tried to give what money was left to his family and friends, who turned him in. That’s right, he only got caught because of a few close family members turned him in to the SEC who contacted the Federal Investigators. This guy gets my biggest loser vote for the year.

Vote With Your Phone!

It seems that Republic of Estonia will now give its people the chance to vote with their cell phones. This will make them the first country ever to have this new law. The goes into affect for the next parliamentary elections in 2011. In case if you’re wondering the mobile-voting system has been will tested. The way this system works is every citizen that plans to vote with their phone will receive a free personal ID card. I think this new technology is amazing and would work great here in the United States. Just think how many people would be able to vote. We would have some of the biggest turnouts in voting. We should differently look at this new voting system. I would really like to know more about this system. Like how this system protects voters against voter fraud and attacks.

Global Demand!

The global demand for oil is dropping at a rapid pace. But that didn’t stop the price of oil today because it is on the rise again. It went up close to $45 a barrel, which is an increase of about 4 percent. And coming in the next week OPEC will be cutting production in hopes of driving the price back up. This has been OPEC’s plan for awhile now, driving prices back up. They want the price of oil to sell around $100 a barrel. They just want to fatten their bank accounts and purchase more jewelry to look like kings, wait, their kings already. What needs to be done is more drilling here in the United States. We have so much oil here it’s unbelievable. Did you know that the United States has the biggest oil reserves in the world, that’s right, the world? We just need to loosen some of these crazy laws we have and start drilling. Just think about all the jobs this would create and no more transferring wealth to another country. Just something for everyone to think about next time you fill up.
