Shorting the dollar........from Rico
The safest investment has been to bet against the US Dollar.
What kind of "recovery" is that?
Since spring, the US Dollar has collapsed against other currencies.
The Brazilian Real is up 25%; the Swiss Franc up 14%; the Canadian Dollar, Euro and Pund Sterling are up 13% as is the Russian Ruble.
As the smart money continues to escape the shrinking Dollar, you can bet that there is worse to come.
Top 10 Reasons Men May Prefer Guns Over Women....
#10. You can trade an old 44 for a new 22.

#7. Your primary gun doesn't mind if you keep another gun for a backup.
#6 . Your gun will stay with you even if you run out of ammo.

Zimbabwe economics............from Rico
I guess it does little good now to 'wonder' what happened to holders of Rhodesian bonds after Mugabe 'transformed' the country into Zimbabwe. It's likely similar to the treatment the farmers there have been getting ever since...and it continues to this day.
Most sentient beings (excepting the socialists and progressives, of course) know what has happened to the inflation rate and the value (chortle...TP is more valuable now than the Z$) in ZimBobwe since they ran amok printing their own money. Fiat currency, mind you.
Now take a look at what has happened inflation-wise since the US de-linked to gold and started printing money only backed by "the full faith and credit" of the USG. This, too, has been a fiat currency since then.
Last, consider the future impact of the US running its money-printing machinery non stop and at full speed.
Not good.

What Might Have Been, Might Yet Be
Back in June we published Dreary Encrusted Leftoidal Seattle: A Town Without a New Idea in 35 Years. My friend DAS and I frequently complain that this Cup of Poison we're doomed to drink was first poured in the Seventies. It may taste like cold piss, all right, but the American Left is dedicated, you have to admit. That irrepressible enthusiasm is captured above in a timeless photograph of care and concern for dumb bastards like ourselves. No mistaking the natural superiority there, is there? I feel solaced, just as a man does before the hospital staff picks his wallet.
How many times have I sighed, "Alas! If only we had blogs and Rush in '72!" Today in American Thinker Steve McCann spies Primo Bud in the Shake: Obama and the Last Hurrah of Liberalism. McCann notes two key differences between then and now:
"The first: the emergence of alternative news sources to once and for all break the stranglehold of the dissemination of news by the traditional outlets dominated by the left.
"The second: The election of a radical left-wing President and a Congress controlled by the same radical element of the Democratic Party."
Could it be? Well, WaPo reports that Dem contributions have puckered up like a sphincter in a North Dakota cold blast. Things're lookin' up!
You can find these and similar platitudinous bell curves at Washington Rebel, where Librarians Share the Break Room.
THE PRESIDENT BAD MOUTHS HIS COUNTRY AND APOLOGIZES FOR AMERICA . . .
. . . and a pissed-off Green Beret tells it like it is:
I love America. This is the land of unlimited opportunity. I came to this land with a suitcase in my hand at the age of 22, and I owe America for everything I have. I love this country.
This is must-read stuff. . . STORMBRINGER

WHEN TO START CUSSING!
A 6 year old and a 4 year old are upstairs in their bedroom. The 6 year old asks, "You know what? I think it's about time we started cussing." The 4 year old nods his head in approval. The 6 year old continues, "When we go downstairs for breakfast, I'm gonna say something with hell and you say something with ass."
The 4 year old agrees with enthusiasm.
When the mother walks into the kitchen and asks the 6 year old what he wants for breakfast, he replies, "Aw, hell, Mom, I guess I'll have some Cheerios.
WHACK! He flies out of his chair, tumbles across the kitchen floor, gets up, and runs upstairs crying his eyes out, with his mother in hot pursuit, slapping his rear with every step. His mom locks him in his room and shouts, "You can stay there until I let you out!"
She then comes back downstairs, looks at the 4 year old and asks with a stern voice, "And what do YOU want for breakfast, young man?"
"I don't know," he blubbers, "but you can bet your fat ass it won't be Cheerios!"
