A Little Poem About Computer Spell Checkers
Eye halve a spelling chequer
It came with my pea sea
It plainly marques four my revue
Miss steaks eye kin knot sea.
Eye strike a key and type a word
And weight four it two say
Weather eye am wrong oar write
It shows me strait a weigh.
As soon as a mist ache is maid
It nose bee fore two long
And eye can put the error rite
Its rare lea ever wrong.
Eye have run this poem threw it
I am shore your pleased two no
Its letter perfect awl the weigh
My chequer tolled me sew.

Fiat follies.................from Rico
The folly of Keynes and fiat money is playing out before us now.
The FDIC is broke.
Fannie and Freddie are racing one-another to lose as much money as possible.
State governments are sinking fast.
Cities and towns are going broke.
There are few 'healthy' CRE loans in existence.
Ben continues to print money almost as fast as our politicians can spend it.
I have very little doubt (looking at US debt-to-GDP) that following the Euro and the Pound Sterling the Greenback will be next.....
Followers of Hayek and the Austrian school of economics understand that cold-hard-cash is not fiat paper 'promises' to pay.

Declaration of Tea Party Independence: a re-interpretation...
DECLARATION OF TEA PARTY INDEPENDENCE
For much of its history, the United States has been a land of prosperity and liberty. Sound policies such as fiscal responsibility, constitutionally limited government, and a belief in the free market have safeguarded this condition.
In recent years, however, Congress, the White House, the Federal Reserve Board, and the court system have replaced those practices with profligate government spending and expansion of the government power beyond what is constitutionally permissible via government control of banks, the auto industry, and other large sectors of the economy.
This course, if not reversed, can only lead to economic collapse and tyranny.
Therefore, Individuals acting through the Tea Party movement seek to reinstate policies which are proven to safeguard liberty and prosperity for all. We will organize, demonstrate and vote until this restoration has been achieved. We will stay focused on this goal and remain INDEPENDENT from any persons or political parties who seek to distract us from this end.
And for the support of this Declaration, we the Undersigned mutually pledge to each other our tireless Effort, our sense of Urgency, and a trust in the power of our combined Voices.
More on this here, Matt has kindly adopted my idea of printing this out and having people sign it to display at events or in public places.

Bowling for Change..........from Rico
Ok, yeah...my slug line [Bowling for Change] is a blatant thumb-in-the-eye of that fat Commie-loving ass who made the film "Bowling for Columbine" (among other films insulting to sentient life forms and wet rocks).
Looking at the graphic of 'Left Coast' America made me mindful of a truly GREAT film by the Coen brothers..."The Big Lebowski" and the Newport Beach Sheriff scene Treehorn draws a lot of water...etc).
- Yup! Newport Beach has an average per capita income (PCI) of $86,586.
- Compare that to the US average PCI of $27,589.
Enough of the 'rest' of the US wanted "change" ....well it is here. Look at the sign on the factory gate. Now you "hope" it will go away. Shmuks!
- You're looking at a NO PCI future (unemployment), or one that is vastly reduced by Carteresque stagflation, or a hyper-inflated Mugabe-Zimbabwean lifestyle.
Good luck, suckers. If you don't throw the bums OUT at the polls this Fall, you deserve whatever you get.

British Cyclist Deliberately Run Over in Saudi Arabia
A British man has been killed after youths allegedly rammed a car into a group of friends who were cycling in Saudi Arabia.
John Currie, who worked for BAE Systems – formerly British Aerospace – is believed to have been one four cyclists who started being "cut up" by local youths in two cars on a main road on the outskirts of Riyadh, the Saudi capital.
Initially, it is understood that one of the cars clipped a cyclist causing him to fall off his bike. Then, however, one of the drivers is alleged to have turned around and deliberately ploughed his car into the cyclists...

How to enjoy..........from Rico
Economists are clueless, but average people KNOW (a) how hard it is to find work, and (b) what is really going on.
If you're in the construction trades, or only have a year or two of college....you're out of luck. You may have to "retire" before you ever get back to work.
Household incomes have gone nowhere in the last decade.
Stocks, too, have had a "lost" decade.
Stimuless, didn't do squat for job creation or anything else (save make the payments on a 20-something Wall Street hot-shot's Ferrari and maybe Jamie Dimon's humble hacienda; Vikram Pandit just didn't pay for a few months).
Ben 'the Beard' says "be careful" ...the 'recovery' is not such a sure thing. Timmy ain't talking.
So. How do you enjoy a depression?
- Make sure that you are not in its way.
