The recession is ending. We are having a recovery. RHETORIC. Horse pucky.
Treasury yields are signalling a Dollar drop....a crumbling Dollar, on the verge of inflation/hyperinflation.
- Translation: yields go UP when a government can't get enough entities to BUY their DEBT. That is happening now, among other things (like China and others walking-away from their "bad American mortgages....er, Treasuries").
CRE (comercial real estate)? Moody's All property Type Aggregate Index declined 2.6% in February.
- In 2008 distressed sales were 4% of all sales.
- In 2009 distressed sales were nearly 20% of all sales.
- In February 2010 an 'unprecedented' and 'historic' record of distressed sales as 32% of all sales.
Unemployment? REAL unemployment, and not the magic unicorn, fairy-tale numbers reported by the Obama-Soetoro regime? Fuggadaboudit! We're screwed and many of you are out of jobs, some prematurely 'retired' forever (never to work again).
Recovery? Recession ending? You MUST be either joking, or a Marxist.
- You learned well, young grasshopper Barry Soetoro....good to see that Fullbright Fellowship for foreign students was not wasted on you!!!
Not "fair" you say? Fair was NOT promised, but "change" was....suckah's!
- Wanna buy some Treasurys? Maybe a shopping mall?

"Revolution"
"Obama is not a creator. He is a destroyer. He is the product of our recipient nation. Raised and abandoned by revolutionaries and radicals. Educated on the taxpayer dime and set forth to organize and assist in the destruction of the very system that supported him the very system he hopes to fundamentally transform. He is a spoiled child who has received the best of everything from those he has deemed should be thankful. We, the electorate, are simply here to amuse him. Like all great tyrants before him he is not the problem. We are. " Virgil
Question?
Why cannot I access my temporary internet files? It works fine for my laptop running XP where they are supposed to be but with Windows 7 and Vista beforehand they seem to get lost in appdata and all i get is cookies and icons. It was working fine the first day i had my new computer but now has gone. Have I clicked the wrong setting for it?
World Affairs
And one of the hottest to make the leap from M Zine to E Zine is the essential World Affairs Journal.
WAJ is fully crunk and offers killer insight for cats that enjoy thinking:
"Established in 1837, World Affairs is a bimonthly international affairs journal that argues the big ideas behind U.S. foreign policy. Always striving to encourage open and informed debate, we are committed to offering our readers a healthy range of perspective and opinion to help clarify the challenges and choices that America faces in our increasingly complex and dangerous world."
Super savvy James Denton of WAJ shares the details:
"Building on this tradition, we launched WorldAffairsDaily.org in January 2010. Updated throughout the day, this site highlights news, opinion, and research from media, governments, and think tanks around the world."
"The site’s unique news offerings allow the reader, on any given day and with any given headline story, to see how the same news is reported differently in hundreds of other international news outlets."
Hard news - soft news - super buzz commentary - Gov Speak, Global News and Think Tank Hanks and Janks - World Affairs certainly brings the bling in a totally delish even handed hand:
Wanna queer the mix on Mullahopolis beyond repair? Check out Daemoneoconic Avatar Dr Josh Murvachik's hot! Neocon Corner.
Enjoy LOLing about inappropriate handwringing and watching cats getting all het up about the wrong thing? World Affairs grants space to realists too.
Hit 'em up - add World Affairs to your link love and subscribe for shout outs that can actually make your brain more bigger.

HOPE-CHANGE & THANK YOU..............from Rico
You can BELIEVE all you want, and HOPE it'll somehow CHANGE and maybe get better...and do not forget to say "thank you" to Obama-Soetoro & Co. as you (and your children, and their children, and their children) all slave to pay off the debt you've been buried under because you were moronic enough to put a Marxist-Muslim sock-puppet to George Soros into the pRresidency of the USA.
Dumbasses!!

London Calling
London,England
In case you missed it last time, here's author Joe Craig outside the British Library in London:
Best Defense
Chopping through tough competitors like Atlantic, The Economist, Mother Jones and The New Yorker to score the 2010 Digital National Magazine award for best blog has got to be as sweet as knocking out 4 enemy carriers in one afternoon!
Congrats Best Defense!
Tom Ricks, Best Defense premier creator with Pulitzer Prizing power and journalistic bona fides on Great Satan's military au courant, hangs with Great Satan's Combat Rock Stars like panzer/Surge expert Colonel Nagl, elite killers of killers like Andrew Exum and Roger Carstens @ Center for a New American Security (CNAS). He's also an editor @ Foreign Policy Magazine and gigs at WaPo.
Best Defense is approachable, fully crunk with hot! intell, insight - and as provocative as wearing a thong to church.
Congratulations Best Defense - The Best of 2010!
