The number of established musicians and bands who no longer have major label backing and don't know exactly how to use the Internet to create sales is staggering. Some Really good people just don't know where to go.
ClarenceWigfall.com just announced a new Viral Marketing Project for musicians and writers. They already had a number of artists who wanted them to represent them and handle their Internet Viral marketing.

Let the IRS collect the mortgage payments!
Who will really get the $700billion? which we all know will turn into several trillion before its over.
The Elder Bush used the term Voodoo Economics to describe Ronald Reagan's policies (Reaganomics) and now its back in real life with George Dubya.
There is really a simple way to handle the mortgage securities meltdown that doesn't involve complicated back room deals that leave the architects of disaster walking away with billions in their pockets.
If the U.S. Federal Government is intent on paying for all these mortgages why not simply let the government buy them outright? Each block of mortgages could be evaluated and given a fair market value which would range from a few cents on the dollar to full value. The holder of the notes would be paid based on that valuation and the government would then take over servicing those mortgages. The obvious mortgage servicer is the IRS. The IRS already knows where everyone lives and has a long history of collecting and accounting for debts. The U.S. Treasury would be assured of receiving the collected payments and the interest that comes along with those payments. Delinquencies would probably decrease, who wants the IRS dunning them for a late mortgage payment?
This is a simple solution that would allow the Federal Government to actually get something for all the billions - trillions that are about to be spent. The U.S. public would actually know what had been bought and at what price. Money would be returned to the treasury with interest and there would be no middle men and no tricky derivatives and other fancy, meaningless and worthless financing and securities scams.
Why not come up with something this simple that can work and pay the money back?
They are really two different works - 1976 Words plus 30 Words. Actually 30 Words came first, but in the recording it is the last (30 Words).

visit The New York Times site often. Earlier in the day I posted a
comment for the first time – the question asked was should a Doctor
walk away from a patient – the article that it referred to was “Showing
the Patient the Door, Permanently.” This evening my comment, to my
surprise, had the most recommendations and was an Editor's Selection.
The list of comments by recommendations was here I
don't know if you have to log into the NYTimes site to read it and I
don't know if the page will look exactly as it looked when I last
looked at it. This is what I had to say there:

My father, Clarence M. Wigfall, Sr., MD and my grandfather, Jonathan N. Rucker, MD did not walk away from patients. In the deep South, they made house calls even when people called them Nigger as they walked into a patients home, even when there was no money to pay them, when it was late or far away in isolated rural areas. Black, white, rich or poor, rational or irrational, if you were sick or injured and they could get to you they went and cared. Some of my earliest memories are traveling with my father in his Packard during the early 1950's through the strange labyrinth of American Apartheid taking care of everyone who called or sent for help along with those who could show up at his office. I don't think it ever occurred to him to walk away from a patient. He was a Medical Doctor, people's lives, mental health and hopes often depended on him. That was his calling. Medical technology has certainly advanced, but today something often seems to be missing from the hearts of those who wield that technology.

Showing the Patient the Door, Permanently is the article that got me going. He may have a point, but I grew up with a totally different medical mentality as shown by my father and grandfather and their peers.
