Reality is SO inconvenient...........from Rico.

This .wmv is shocking, but very true (unlike Al Bore's hysteria) yet people are more concerned with fakey-made-up crises like MMGW and are completely ignoring this very REAL crisis.

AND IT GETS EVEN BETTER! The FOMC is meeting again and 'floating' the idea of the Fed buying Treasurys because the US Gov't needs to finance its huge debt. This = printing even MORE money (devaluing it further).

I have to agree with Marc Faber (Dr. Doom) that the USG bond market is a disaster waiting to happen.

There is NO WAY the laws of financial gravity can be denied. We know that we cannot spend our way out of debt by going deeper into debt. (Don't try this at home, kids.)

Think zero interest rates are to help our economy? The likes of us? Think again: when interest rates are raised by the Fed to 'control' inflation, the cost to finance the raging public debt skyrockets (read: we're printing free money right now, but as % rates increase we'll have to pay more/print more to keep the ship of state afloat).

I've said it before, but it bears repeating: Think the Weimar Republic (Germany after WWI and before Hitler and WWII) and Zimbabwe (Rhodesia under Communism). HYPERINFLATION. Paper money so worthless the ink to print it is more valuable than the finished product is as a medium of exchange. Yikes!

F1 News....


F1 wins will decide world title. Having just looked at the stats for the last few years this seems to be another case of what Ferrari wants Ferrari gets. There I could just be being sceptical.

FIA introduces £30m budget cap. This is more welcome as teams spending more than 30m will be restricted as to what technology they can use. Getting rid of refuelling in 2010 should also help. Everyone will then have the same amount of gas at the start so those at the front will not be allowed to go light and run away from the pack.

WTF!!

Mary Clancy goes up to Father O'Grady after his Sunday morning service, and she's in tears.

He says, 'So what's bothering you, Mary my dear?'

She says, 'Oh, Father, I've got terrible news.. My husband passed away last night.'

The priest says, 'Oh, Mary, that's terrible. Tell me, Mary, did he have any last requests?'

She says, 'That he did, Father.'

The priest says, 'What did he ask, Mary?'

She says, 'He said, Please Mary, put down that damn gun..'

Parliament and Congress should use the 'Scales of Justice'


Charles De Gaulle said, "I have come to the conclusion that politics are too serious a matter to be left to the politicians."

The town of High Wycombe in Buckinghamshire has found a practical solution: It weighs its mayors at the start and end of each term.

Any weight gain is deemed to have been made at taxpayers' expense, and it's met with jeers and the occasional tomato.

No one knows how the custom began, but it dates at least from the time of Edward I and apparently was once widespread. Wycombe is the only town in England where it survives.

BILL GATES vs GM.......

For all of us who feel only the deepest love and affection for the way computers have enhanced our lives, read on.

At a recent computer expo (COMDEX), Bill Gates reportedly compared the computer industry with the auto industry and stated:

'If GM had kept up with technology like the computer industry has, we would all be driving $25.00 cars that got 1,000 miles to the gallon.'

In response to Bill's comments, General Motors issued a press release stating:

'If GM had developed technology like Microsoft, we would all be driving cars with the following characteristics:

1. For no reason whatsoever, your car would crash........Twice a day.

2. Every time they repainted the lines in the road, you would have to buy a new car.

3. Occasionally your car would die on the freeway for no reason. You would have to pull to the side of the road, close all of the windows, shut off the car, restart it and reopen the windows before you could continue. For some reason you would simply accept this.

4. Occasionally, executing a manoeuvre such as a left turn would cause your car to shut down and refuse to restart, in which case you would have to reinstall the engine.

5. Macintosh would make a car that was powered by the sun, was reliable, five times as fast and twice as easy to drive - but would run on only five percent of the roads.

6. The oil, water temperature and alternator warning lights would all be replaced by a single 'This Car Has Performed An Illegal Operation' warning light.

7. The airbag system would ask 'Are you sure?' before deploying.

8. Occasionally, for no reason whatsoever, your car would lock you out and refuse to let you in until you simultaneously lifted the door handle, turned the key and grabbed hold of the radio antenna.

9. Every time a new car was introduced car buyers would have to learn how to drive all over again because none of the controls would operate in the same manner as the old car.

10. You'd have to press the 'Start' button to turn the engine off.

At one time in Athens the INDIVIDUAL was prized over the STATE.
