wall street bailout smacks of cronyism

i just read the text of the wall street bail out plan being considered by congress. i am appalled at the powers given to the secretary of the treasury in this act! of course he wants congress to act quickly ... before the american people have a chance to figure out what hit em!

this shady legislation is unconstitutional and it's ripe with opportunity for even more cronyism and abuse by the power elite that control this country. the greedy crooks on wall street who got themselves into this terrible mess should suffer the consequences of bankruptcy ... not the american taxpayers.

i urge you to write your congresspersons today asking them to stop this dangerous legislation in its tracks. if passed, it will bring about certain destruction of the dollar, mega hyper inflation, and even more pain and suffering on the american people.

don't be fooled by our government's assurance that if we pass this legislation everything will be ok. everything will be ok for the powerful elite (bernanke, paulson, the rockefellers, the rothchilds ...) no doubt, but i assure you everything will NOT be ok for you and me! this is a temporary "fix" to a huge problem created by the federal reserve that's been mounting for decades. even if by some stroke of miracle they don't pass this legislation, we still won't be ok. too much damage has already been done. by its very nature, the situation MUST get worse before it can get any better. there IS no easy and painless solution to the mess we're in. but if we stop the bailouts now, the duration of suffering will be shorter, and we can begin the road to economic recovery sooner. at this point, it's the only sane thing to do. to stop the addiction, we need to remove the drugs!

please find out who your congressperson's are and demand they oppose this legislation. it's time to wake up americans and start defending our constitution. inform yourself. take off the rose colored glasses. don't lie down and let them erode even more of our precious freedoms! the time to act is NOW. join the campaign for liberty. do something about it. if you don't, well, you're just part of the problem.

a wild soap bar heads to the islands!

our newest retailer, the bonaire gift shop is located on the small tropical island of bonaire, one of the best kept secrets in the southern carribean. do i feel a business trip coming on? yeah baby! the fact that they sell gourmet wine & liquor (among other things) doesn't deter me one bit. who knows...if i make it to the bonaire shopping district, i may even smoke one of their fancy cigars after i dine in one of those world class restaurants!

dive under the crystal clear water here. bonaire, take me away ...

y*IKE*s

so ike came and went and he left behind quite a mess! and we didn't even get one drop of rain here in central texas. pooey. i didn't make a hurricane ike soap cuz i decided it would have to be ugly by nature, so what's the use? speakin' of ugly, here's what happened to some of the rain lily soaps i made last time. now that's ugly!

these are the ones that seized up before i could get them in the mold properly. i hate to admit it but even soap masters screw up sometimes. you heard it here first folks. nothing wrong with these. they're just a little "cosmetically challenged" that's all. the good news is that if you order $30 or more on our website who knows, you just might get one of these beauties for your free soap. yikes! don't be scared, it's good soap. i promise.

tribute to a rain lily

right now we're expecting hurricane ike soon (which hopefully means rain! lots of rain!!! and not much else). the last time it rained here in central texas, it was during a severe drought, so i got the bright idea to make rain lily soap in honor of the rare tropical occurrence. rain lilies are fragrant fragile flowers that only bloom for a short time right after a rain. (how do they do that anyway?)

so i gathered up a bunch of those beautiful rain lilies (and yeah i felt a little guilty for plucking them out of their rightful place in the freshly rain-soaked ground, but they were plentiful, and they were on my property, so i did it anyway)... then i steeped them in warm organic extra virgin olive oil for a day or so. i used that infused oil to make a gorgeous castile (97% organic extra virgin olive oil) soap scented with a soft, floral blend of pure essential oils. it didn't come out exactly as i had planned. actually it came out nothing like i had planned visually... but it was the thought that counted. a celebration soap made with fresh rainwater and real rain lilies, two things we see far too little of here. that's all that really matters. if you're feeling dry, get your moisturizing ionically charged castile rain lily soap here.

don't think i'll make a hurricane ike soap ... stay safe neighbors. our thoughts are with you.

freedom flag contest

we're back! what an incredible experience! as soon as we left the airport, one of the very first things we saw was this huge flag spray painted onto the embankment of the freeway. while i'm sure it was meant for those attending the republican national convention, i took it as a sign of what we were about to embark upon . . . the peaceful but powerful freedom movement that's sweeping this country. a.k.a. the campaign for liberty. after 3 days of being immersed in the historic rally for the republic, my 2 sons and i returned 100% energized and ready for the challenge. hope is on the way. the r3VOLution continues!

so in honor of the rally which was designed to call the GOP back to its roots, we're giving away 3 yucca root shampoo and body bars to the first person who comments on this blog and tells us what the official mission statement of the campaign for liberty is. you see . . . here at a wild soap bar, we're not just cleaning up stinky bodies anymore, we're cleaning up our stinkin' government too!
