Next thing we know is that he will be handling rattlesnakes at mass. This is extremely odd for a Pope to say.

One of the worst market reports I have ever read. Traders purchased a large volume of puts? Where did they come from? someone had to sell them, how about the volume increased. Then they speak of the companies stock being down? It is not a stock, it is an ETF that represents a basket of securities.

Our local talk radio host learned Russian at the Army's Language School years ago and reads the Russian papers. According to him, Putin is in N. Italy where his mistress has just had her third child by him. She had a 2-room suite with a room for bodyguards and Putin was staying with some Russian Oligarchs as the area is popular with them.

But I read somewhere else she had the baby in Switzerland.

Who knows?

None of it may be true.

Somebody's betting that the Russian economy is going to crash.

Has Debka ever been right about a single, solitary thing?
