You may have noticed by now that I am an Evansville Otters fan, even after the lack luster season last year. Today they announced their schedule for the 2008 season, with the opening game being on May 21st. I can practically taste the Thirsty Thursday events. mmmmm

Game times for the 2008 season will be similar to years past, with a few exceptions. The Otters will host two 12:05 PM games--on Tuesday, June 24, and Monday, July 28. There will also be three 1:05 PM games--on Friday, July 4, Sunday, August 24, and Monday, September 1. Standard game times Monday-Saturday will remain at 7:05 PM, and Sunday games will remain at 6:05 PM. One major change, however, will be the entry times into Bosse Field. Beginning in 2008, gate times will be one hour prior to game time, as opposed to an hour and a half as it has been in years past.

In addition to announcing their 2008 schedule, they are also offering discounts on all their Evansville Otter merchandise. According to their website most of their products have been marked down 50%, making them perfect for a Christmas gift. Head over to the Evansville Otters Merchandise store.

Well, doesn't look like anything happened to me, these pictures were taken at around 2:30 PM the day off the 'supposed' raid. I'm still on the fence about how many of these supposed allegations actually happened.

Nothing suspicious here, hell there weren't even any local news teams there reporting one way or the other.

First of all, I was in shock and awe of seeing Evansville mentioned on the front page of Reddit. Second of all, what in the hell is going on, surely there has to be more to the story than what we know right now. I personally suspect corruption, but the bleeding hearts are of course leaning on right wing conspiracy.

Here is all we know at this time, from an email to the RabidQuill.

From Liberty Dollar Headquarters:
Dear Liberty Dollar Supporters:

I sincerely regret to inform you that about 8:00 this morning a dozen FBI and Secret Service agents raided the Liberty Dollar office in Evansville.

For approximately six hours they took all the gold, all the silver, all the platinum and almost two tons of Ron Paul Dollars that where just delivered last Friday. They also took all the files, all the computers and froze our bank accounts.

We have no money. We have no products. We have no records to even know what was ordered or what you are owed. We have nothing but the will to push forward and overcome this massive assault on our liberty and our right to have real money as defined by the US Constitution. We should not to be defrauded by the fake government money.

But to make matters worse, all the gold and silver that backs up the paper certificates and digital currency held in the vault at Sunshine Mint has also been confiscated. Even the dies for mint the Gold and Silver Libertys have been taken.

This in spite of the fact that Edmond C. Moy, the Director of the Mint, acknowledged in a letter to a US Senator that the paper certificates did not violate Section 486 and were not illegal. But the FBI and Services took all the paper currency too.

The possibility of such action was the reason the Liberty Dollar was designed so that the vast majority of the money was in specie form and in the people’s hands. Of the $20 million Liberty Dollars, only about a million is in paper or digital form.

I regret that if you are due an order. It may be some time until it will be filled… if ever… it now all depends on our actions.

Everyone who has an unfulfilled order or has digital or paper currency should band together for a class action suit and demand redemption. We cannot allow the government to steal our money! Please don’t let this happen!!! Many of you read the articles quoting the government and Federal Reserve officials that the Liberty Dollar was legal. You did nothing wrong. You are legally entitled to your property. Let us use this terrible act to band together and further our goal – to return America to a value based currency.

Please forward this important Alert… so everyone who possess or use the Liberty Dollar is aware of the situation.

Please click HERE to sign up for the class action lawsuit and get your property back!

Thanks again for your support at this darkest time as the damn government and their dollar sinks to a new low.

Was it really an election? Was David Nixon really the best Republican candidate we could find to run against John? It's elections like this that make me strongly consider running for some sort of public office, because hell, if he can do it, so can I.

My biggest problem with John's campaign up until the mediocre election the other day was that he prided himself WAY too much for doing what he should. Every commercial focused on how great he was at creating a task force for the flooding problem on the South side of Evansville. Excuse me, I thought this was his job and something that really should have been done years ago. Another thing that really pissed me off, in this vein, was how much money he has supposedly allocated for the job, it's actually over the next 5 to 10 years, not during his term in office.

Doesn't seem so Rosy through my glasses, but hey, who else are we going to vote for? Now I'm not saying John is not a competent Mayor, he is just mediocre.  Evansville needs someone who will actually bring about change and not hang their hat on things that should be done anyway. Evansville needs an election that brings more than 15,000 people out to the voter booths. geesh

Well, I survived Halloween with no toilet paper decorations, egg catch, or too many pesky trick or treaters. In stead, my wife and I enjoyed a nice leisurely trip to Spencer County where we visited my parents  and hers. Yes, it was my babies first Halloween, and we celebrated it as such. So instead of collecting candy, my little girl collected cans of Lipil formula.

At any rate, it's November and the temperatures here in Evansville feel like fall. Finally. Now to figure out the best way to get rid of all the leaves falling on my lawn. Last year it took more than 30 HUGE bags to get about 3/4 of the mess, not something I'm looking forward to doing this year. Maybe it's time I go ahead and invest in a new mower that will mulch for me. mmmm, something to ponder on a cool evening in front of an outdoor fireplace.
