Greetings good citizen,
I think we can all appreciate how life sometimes conspires to hand us a hectic day, for an unemployed guy, I’m busier than a one-legged man in an ass-kicking contest!
And it ain’t over yet. I’m taking advantage of this brief lull in the action to draw up a quick post before the calendar on Blogger flips another page.
Um, following my usual format, the stock market is having one bust out beauty of a session, you’d think the recovery was on fire as the markets tacked on over 200 points for no reason I can see.
Maybe the commodity traders are all excited about the drought causing a famine, just another reason why we should abolish the markets and outlaw trading in commodities!
Anyway, today’s Business section headlines are far from hopeful:
Understand good citizen, the > One Percent owe most of their ‘worth’ to their stock holdings…
So guess who is taking it up the tailpipe when stocks rise ‘irrationally’ like they have today?
Yup, it’s nobody but YOU!
And speaking of gifts that keep on giving, Bush’s NY Fed chief cum Obama’s Treasury Secretary
Odd time to start an investigation, right before the statute of limitations expire…
Weird how some crimes ‘expire’ but anything the average man can be held accountable for NEVER expires.
Who do you suppose Timmy is going to bring to Justice?
It’s a ‘surprise’…which is to ask who is going to be surprised when whoever it is gets away with it?
No need to go there. A bag job is a bag job.
And have a look at THIS ‘joyful news’:
And stocks went up how much today? Is there any way to put a ‘positive spin on ANY of these news items so far?
Naturally, that’s a ‘rhetorical question’:
Does anyone else find I strange that only Bernie Maddoff’s, er, ‘victims’ are the only ones getting anything out of the blatantly corrupt financial sector?
More interestingly, those who were with Bernie made out quite well (on paper) while they were with him…
Just saying, ya know?
And finally we have this item:
Alas, we see another victim of the gutting of the global customer base.
This working for somebody else bullshit is proving not to be worth the effort.
You are, in fact, working to make someone else rich while you impoverish yourself!
Worse, we also know ‘capitalist utopia’ don’t work either so what’s left?
A Simple Plan, an idea whose time has come!
Thanks for letting me inside your head,

Exxon and Shell Earnings DisappointFinding a major new oil field would certainly warrant a uptick in trading but today’s run up is more along the line of finding a new inexhaustible energy source!
By CLIFFORD KRAUSS and STANLEY REED 1:17 PM ET

By BEN PROTESS 4 minutes ago
Congress intensified its focus on the interest-rate rigging scandal on Thursday, as Timothy F. Geithner, the Treasury secretary, vowed that authorities would forcefully pursue criminal investigations into some of the world's biggest banks.
Odd time to start an investigation, right before the statute of limitations expire…

Madoff Trustee Wants Victims to Get More Money
By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS 12:57 PM ET
Victims of imprisoned Bernard Madoff's Ponzi scheme could be getting back more of their stolen money.
Does anyone else find I strange that only Bernie Maddoff’s, er, ‘victims’ are the only ones getting anything out of the blatantly corrupt financial sector?

The New York Times Co. Posts a Loss
By AMY CHOZICK 1:06 PM ET
The company cited a write-down in the value of About.com and continuing declines in print and digital advertising revenue.
Alas, we see another victim of the gutting of the global customer base.
