"That song needs a whole new verse to deal with Obama and Islam, the two biggest blights in our world."

You kidding? A decent wordsmith could redo the entire thing. There's SO much material:

Ronald Reagan / Robert Bork
Vince Foster / Marcy Park
Oklahoma bombs-away, cause
Limbaugh has too much to say

That's just off the top of my head, anyone care to add?

If the Fed and the Regime weren’t actively interfering with the NYSE, with their “circuit breakers” and such, the Dow would be in the 4000’s now. Therefore, the Dow is meaningless.

Deutsche Mark is guaranteed to be accepted by Deutsche Bundesbank as valid currency at a fixed rate of exchange to Euro (approx. DM2 to €1).

However, no new DMs are issued or printed by Bundesbank, even as replacement for unusable coins or paper currency.

Tomorrow is options and futures expiry day, so some of the volatility can be attributed to that (using the Euro / PIIGS panic), as well as some hedge funds deleveraging and margin calls.

Same ole, same ole...

Spain is broke. On May 7th credit to Spanish public and private institutions simply dried up, being rejected bonds up to an 18% of interest rate. The media is trying to hide that.

“It is either global insanity or will intent.”

FDR said in politics, if something happens, you can be sure it wasn’t an accident.

We globalize our economy. Then the Greece’s of the world default. The Euro goes bad,, America suffers. It’s a created global economic crisis, designed to create a need for global governance. Just like global warming.

This will fuel a GOP takover of Congress in November.

It shouldn't take nearly this much to guarantee a takeover!

See if you can convert Lira to Euro at that coinmill site; I can’t get it to do so.

Somebody, somewhere, is converting Euro to DM...even if only electronically as a way of “keeping track”...

“Uh, no. I welcome a collapse that is blamed squarely on the dems. I want to see 0bamunists suffer—long and hard.”


I agree. The market needs to start reflecting what’s really going on. It’s overvalued and needs to pop.

“I am literally sick to my stomach just looking at that graph.”


I don’t know why this didn’t happen last year. From what I remember, last summer price-to-earnings ratios were 3X WORSE than they were before the 90’s tech bubble.

I’m surprised it lasted this long. As far as I’m concerned and many with good commons sense, the 1000 point drop a few weeks ago was the warning sign.
