IS it different this time?................from Rico
The Great Depression did NOT happen overnight, rather it unfolded like a slow-motion train wreck. Very slow motion. There were 'market recoveries' along the way to the bottom that fooled many into investing in those hopey-changey green shoots (or whatever they were called back then, remember cocaine was legal).
I hear "but it's DIFFERENT this time" from all corners. Team Obama, the Money Honeys, economists that should know better, the Beard Bernanke, etc.
Is it? Is it REALLY different this time?
Things are following the same pattern, at about the same speed, and suggest that those who 'know' are simply doing their best to buy 'time' before we hit bottom.....all those except Congress, that is.
- Last go-around we had 'time' for them to enact Smoot-Hawley and really muck things up.
- This time Cap & Trade will shove us over the edge.
Look at the charts and decide for yourself, but I posit 52% wanted "change" and 100% of us are on the verge of being screwed.
Man of the house..........
The husband had just finished reading a new book entitled, 'You Can Be the Man of Your House'.
He stormed to his wife in the kitchen and announced, 'From now on, you need to know that I am the man of this house and my word is law.
You will prepare me a gourmet meal tonight, and when I'm finished eating my meal, you will serve me a sumptuous dessert. After dinner, you are going to go upstairs with me and we will have the kind of sex that I want.
Afterwards, you are going to draw me a bath so I can relax. You will wash my back and towel me dry and bring me my robe. Then, you will massage my feet and hands. Then tomorrow, guess who's going to dress me and comb my hair?'
The wife replied, 'The f**kin' funeral director would be my first guess.'

How deep a hole?.............from Rico
How deep is the hole we're in?
Brace yourself for a whole lotta zero's.
- Gee, there're so many zeros it reminds me of looking at a Zimbabwe currency note.
We should expect the same with our currency one of these days...more zeros/less value.

"Pick your favourite . . . "
Australian Inflight Safety Announcement overheard on a recent flight Down Under:
“In the event of a sudden loss of cabin pressure, masks will descend from the ceiling. Stop screaming, grab the mask, and pull it over your face. If you have a small child traveling with you, secure your mask before assisting with theirs. If you are traveling with more than one small child, pick your favourite.”

Americans for Liberty
"Barack Obama -- the former attorney for the corrupt Association of Community Organization and Reform Now (ACORN) -- has now nominated for Census Bureau czar a man who (perhaps not surprisingly) refuses to rule out paying ACORN lieutenants tens of millions of tax dollars to, of all things, count the number of Americans who should receive federally funded hand-outs and be allowed to vote."
