Oracle CEO buys Hawaiian Island

Billionaire Larry Ellison, the 3rd richest American according to Forbes, has purchased Lanai which is the 6th largest Hawaiian island.

At $500,000,000 it was quite a steal considering it breaks down to a tiny 0.13 cents a square foot. A great 500 million USD investment by the Oracle CEO.

Lanai is a destination of untouched tranquility, relaxation and tranquility. A golfers paradise, no distraction or hustle and bustle like Oahu.

This romantic island is a true getaway, though they also have a Four Seasons five star hotel.

The rich get richer. Congratulations, Mr. Ellison on obtaining Hawaii’s most enticing island. Well played sir and Aloha.

A Better America Begins Tonight

A better America begins tonight and together, we are going to win on November 6th.

We can do better. Tonight is the beginning of the end of the disappointment of the Obama years.

“ After 25 years, I know how to lead us out of this stagnant obama economy and into a job creating recovery.

It’s still about the economy and we’re not stupid … poverty will be defeated, not with a government check but with respect and achievement.

And this time, we’ll get it right. We’re Americans. Our greatest days are ahead. God bless this great Nation.

God Bless the United States of America and God bless you good people. Thank you.” – President Mitt Romney

NCAA 2012 Final Four Kentucky

2012 NCAA college basketball March Madness Final Four brackets has top seeded Kentucky, Ohio St, Kansas and Louisville headed to New Orleans.

Kentucky shot lights out to beat Baylor. Ohio St. beat a good Syracuse team. Kansas beat a very good but injured North Carolina and Louisville advanced after an epic Florida choke late in their game.

Anthony Davis and the Kentucky Wildcats offense should be too much for top defensive team and state rival, Louisville.

The other game between two of the best teams in 2012, Kansas and Ohio St. looks like a war and could go either way. Kansas won an earlier meeting this season.

Las Vegas line has Ohio St. a 3 point favorite. Kentucky at -9  will have to win by double digits to cover their number.

Andrew Breitbart silenced Dead at 43

Andrew Breitbart has been silenced, dead today of “natural causes” at 43 years young, hours before he was to release a video exposing Obama.

Wait til they see what happens March 1st – Indeed!

Andrew Breitbart [1969–2012] was a controversial conservative American publisher, author, blogger and guest commentator on Fox News, Real Time with Bill Maher and Dennis Miller.

Breitbart previously was an editor for the wildly popular Drudge Report and went so far as to describe himself as “Matt Drudge’s bitch”

He later helped Arianna Huffington launch The Huffington Post website.

Andrew ran his own news aggregation company: Breitbart.com and 5 other online websites: Breitbart.tv, Big Hollywood, Big Government, Big Journalism and Big Peace.

Breitbart exposed New York Representative Anthony Weiner’s sexting scandal when his websites broke the story that Weiner was sending women revealing photographs of himself.

Recently Breitbart had announced he would release his “wait til they see what happens March 1st” secret college day tapes of Barack Obama. RIP comrade.
