SERIOUS - Bank Crisis
If the global crisis continues at the present rate, by the end of this year
only two banks will be left operational.... the Blood Bank and the Sperm Bank!
And don't you just know that when these two banks merge it would be staffed by
bloody wankers.

A 'new' Government agency has been established (the Office of Hope Adjustment) because government works so very well, that even more of it must be a good idea....right?

I once heard two ladies going on and on about the pains of childbirth and how men don’t seem to know what real pain is. I asked if either of them ever got themselves caught in a zipper.
I saw a woman wearing a sweat shirt with “Guess” on it…so I said “Implants?”

Quantitative Easing......

Rico writes.....
The WSJ today cites a study giving the US a 1-in-5 chance of a depression. Makes me think of Clint Eastwood saying "feeling lucky today punk?"
- NOT good odds.
Twice since 1870 the US had severe financial events where GDP and consumption fell by more than 10%.
- 1917-21 <16%> post WWI
- 1929-33 <25%> pre WWII
Actually, the study looked at the macroeconomic histories of 34 countries and found a 28% probability of a depression happening.

To cheer myself up I read a story on Bloomberg. After 25 bank failures in 2008, and 16 failures so far this year, the FDIC fund balance will approach zero or turn negative because of the 'drain' on their funds. Translation=INSOLVENT.
- Well, until they print more paper money.
While we COULD be out of trouble by 2010 if left alone...thanks to the pressing need to "do something" (read: government intervention making things worse, not better) I'm looking at 2012 before there is any hope of recovery...
Cheers, Team Obama! Happy Days Are Here Again!
Animal Welfare : Adopt-a-cat.......
The Animal Welfare Charities are asking for the public's assistance in adopting stray kittens.
I never forward these bloody things because they pray on our compassion, but this one got to me. See if you can help and have a heart - save these kitties.
Anyone interested should contact an Animal Welfare Charity urgently as these little cuties have no home for the harsh winter.

Aphorisms......
Aphorism: A short, pointed sentence expressing a wise or clever observation or a general truth; adage
1. The nicest thing about the future is that it always starts tomorrow.
2. Money will buy a fine dog, but only kindness will make him wag his tail.
3. If you don't have a sense of humor, you probably don't have any sense at all.
4. Seat belts are not as confining as wheelchairs.
5. A good time to keep your mouth shut is when you're in deep water.
6. How come it takes so little time for a child who is afraid of the dark to become a teenager who wants to stay out all night?
7. Business conventions are important because they demonstrate how many people a company can operate without.
8. Why is it that at class reunions you feel younger than everyone else looks?
9. Scratch a cat and you will have a permanent job.
10. No one has more driving ambition than the boy who wants to buy a car.
11. There are no new sins; the old ones just get more publicity.
12. There are worse things than getting a call for a wrong number at 4 AM. - ......It could be a right number.
13. No one ever says "It's only a game." when their team is winning.
14. I've reached the age where the happy hour is a nap.
15. Be careful reading the fine print. There's no way you're going to like it.
16. The trouble with bucket seats is that not everybody has the same size bucket.
17. Do you realize that in about 40 years, we'll have thousands of old ladies running around with tattoos? (And rap music will be the Golden Oldies)
18. Money can't buy happiness -- but somehow it's more comfortable to cry in a Corvette than in a Yugo.
19. After 60, if you don't wake up aching in every joint, you are probably dead!
20. Always be yourself because the people that matter, don't mind. And the one's that do mind don't matter

Coming soon to a Democracy near you.....
Chavez Declares 'Media War'. Expect a lot of similar crap from New Labour in the UK and the Dems in the US as the wheels continue to fall off their collective wagons.
And just who is going to go get him?
Arrest Warrant Issued For Sudan President. Short of military action to snatch him nothing will happen. The same goes for Mugabe. What is the point of an arrest warrant that no-body will enforce?
FREE MONEY?.........by Rico.
I'm old enough to remember president LBJ's "War on Poverty" (and to have seen just how WELL that idea worked), and in this context I can truly appreciate the GENIUS of Obama. He has cut right to the chase and wil be known for his "War on Prosperity!"
Of course the 52-percenters will see this as "free money"...especially those who receive MORE $$$ government spending than they pay in taxes.
When Obama says "skin in the game" understand that it's the TAXPAYERS getting skinned by the TAXSPENDERS.
- Your guess is as good as mine how long 40% of the population can carry the freeloaders.
Yeah. I'm REALLY impressed by this whole "wealth redistribution" concept. After all, it worked out so very well for Bobby Mugabe in Zimbabwe it's just gotta work for us too!

Interesting........
More military officers demand eligibility proof. The Obama 'birth certificate' questions remain. Personally I think it is a bit late.
