Every Cloud Has A Silver Lining — Always Look On The Bright Side Of Life

Difficult times are like dark clouds that pass overhead and block the sun. When we look more closely at the edges of every cloud we can see the sun shining there like a silver lining.

>>>>>>THERE’S PLENTY OF JOB VACANCIES IN THE MILITARY<<<<<<

Always Look on the Bright Side of Life (from Monty Python)

Some things in life are bad
They can really make you mad
Other things just make you swear and curse.
When you’re chewing on life’s gristle
Don’t grumble, give a whistle
And this’ll help things turn out for the best…

And…always look on the bright side of life…
Always look on the light side of life…

If life seems jolly rotten
There’s something you’ve forgotten
And that’s to laugh and smile and dance and sing.
When you’re feeling in the dumps
Don’t be silly chumps
Just purse your lips and whistle - that’s the thing.

And…always look on the bright side of life…
Always look on the light side of life…

For life is quite absurd
And death’s the final word
You must always face the curtain with a bow.
Forget about your sin - give the audience a grin
Enjoy it - it’s your last chance anyhow.

So always look on the bright side of death
Just before you draw your terminal breath

Life’s a piece of shit
When you look at it
Life’s a laugh and death’s a joke, it’s true.
You’ll see it’s all a show
Keep ‘em laughing as you go
Just remember that the last laugh is on you.

And always look on the bright side of life…
Always look on the right side of life…
(Come on guys, cheer up!)
Always look on the bright side of life…
Always look on the bright side of life…
(Worse things happen at sea, you know.)
Always look on the bright side of life…
(I mean - what have you got to lose?)
(You know, you come from nothing - you’re going back to nothing.
What have you lost? Nothing!)
Always look on the right side of life…

Housing Secretary Alphonso Jackson To Resign

The U.S. housing secretary will resign Monday morning under pressure after accusations of improper allocation of federal contracts, the Wall Street Journal reported in its Monday edition. Housing and Urban Development Secretary Alphonso Jackson will step down on Monday morning, the paper reported. The department announced late Sunday that Jackson will make a statement to the press on Monday morning. Jackson has faced calls for his resignation after lawmakers have said he behaved improperly in awarding federal contracts. The Federal Housing Administration, overseen by HUD, runs the largest government program to aid home buyers and is seen by many lawmakers as the key to a federal effort to stem foreclosures.

Money Is Very Cheap To Make

Money is very cheap to make.

The cost of making one “Money” is very much less than the value displayed on that one “Money”.

Betcha didn’t know that, because it’s a closely guarded secret of the U.S. Secret Service.

Welcome To The Foreclosure Bus Tour

A six-hour expedition to show Orlando-area homes and educate potential buyers on the vagaries of snatching foreclosures in a state where the housing market has struggled over the past two years.

Real estate agents have also organized tours in California, where the idea seems to have originated, and cities such as Phoenix, Detroit, Kansas City and Jacksonville.

“You Are Hereby Declared Foreclosed — Go Live In Tent City”

It’s Just A Matter Of Time Before Foreclosed Families End Up At Tent City

There are now tent cities growing outside large metropolitan areas. This is the consequence of the U.S. sub-prime meltdown. The current deepening recession threatens to morph into a new Depression. Tent City is where many of “The Foreclosed” will be living in the event of a new Depression.

The Bottomless Pit of Cash — AKA — The Federal Reserve

Even the chairman of the House Banking Committee claimed that the Federal Reserve is a government agency, and that it is not privately owned. The fact is that the government has never owned a single share of Federal Reserve Bank stock. This charade stems from the fact that the President of the United States appoints the Governors of the Federal Reserve Board, who are then confirmed by the Senate. The secret author of the Act, banker Paul Warburg, a representative of the Rothschild bank, coined the name “Federal” from thin air for the Act, which he wrote to achieve two of his pet aspirations, an “elastic currency”, read (rubber check), and to facilitate trading in acceptances, international trade credits. Warburg was founder and president of the International Acceptance Corporation, and made billions in profits by trading in this commercial paper. Section 7 of the Federal Reserve Act provides “Federal reserve banks, including the capital and surplus therein, and income derived therefrom, shall be exempt from Federal, state and local taxation, except taxes on real estate.”
