Bio

Born and raised in Philadelphia now reside near the Valley Forge area. Attended 12 years of Catholic School and went to college to study architecture, but was to immature and unprepared to apply myself seriously. Since then I have worked in the commercial printing industry.

My fascination with colonial America and the revolutionary era has somehow morphed me into a political junkie. I have been attempting to self educate myself on this subject for a number of years by reading anything I can get my hands on. I am also an avid music fanatic who is always searching for the new and obscure band of the moment.......

Re: Should Romney Organize a Relief Effort?

Finster

I think he should if it is possible.  His position on FEMA is already being twisted and politicized all over twitter, and it would help to counterbalance the negative press I see coming  his way in the final days ahead

Re: What Would You Like To Hear Romney Say Tonight?

Finster

Why is it that the Clinton's are the only one's responsible for keeping your campaign alive ?

Re: Yard Sign Quandary - Where Are They?

Finster

Here in southeastern Pa. I have seen a few Romney signs here and there but nothing in my immediate area. Interestingly enough I participated in a presidential phone poll today and asked the republican pollster for a yard sign, and sure enough he met me 10 miles from my house and handed me one.

Finster: I am not one to believe in conspiracy theories, but this looks very interesting.  I just added it to my wish list on Amazon. Thanks · 4 hours ago

Finster. I am with you as far as conspiracy theory goes, but after meeting Kevin and seeing how well sourced the book is I will not look at the markets the same way. · 7 hours ago

Okay Thanks ! Although my only concern is that it may be too technically
written on the economic side for me to follow along without my eyes glazing over.

Another great podcast. Money and Politics has now pulled into 2nd place on my Ricochet favorites list.  The Psychedelic Furs intro is great as well.

Finster: Apparently something is wrong with my account, I keep getting this message :

ALREADY A MEMBER

You are already a member of the pool: ricochet. However, you have been "benched" by your manager. This means that you have access to the standings and trash talk, but you will not be able to make picks until your manager takes you off the "bench". Contact your Pool Manager

Can Someone help me out here ???? · 2 hours ago

Same thing happened to me.  Click on the link to contact the pool manager--it'll send an email to the pool manager and later on it should work for you.

 By the way, I'm registered as KayBeer again, since KayBee was already in use. · 25 minutes ago

Thanks for the feedback Kaybee but I did that already last night. Maybe I will try again .

It was given an enthusiastic "must see" review from Michael Medved whom I trust in these matters.

Re: Newt Gingrich, Crypto-progressive?

Finster

I change my mind every 20 seconds about Newt and the rest of the lot. That's because I am looking for something that just isn't there.  Very Frustrating......
