I always love the people (usually not from the US) who say things like “Well you guys deserve this economic downturn, the way you spend and borrow and all” or “see you can’t always have it all” or even “this is payback for your evil ways”. To which I always reply, “pound salt assclown” or [...]
Issa Nice in the Markets? No.
I guess the markets don’t like a lot of things. Greece seems to be closely watched. Hope they keep Santorini and Mykonos open this summer. Qualcomm had “less than desirable” results. Not good news for the tech sector. And add that speech last night from the leader of the free world and you end up [...]
Issa Time to Face the Music
Ahhh Rep. Darrell Issa (R-CA) has called a meeting to get to the bottom of where some of our taxpayer dollars went and people are testifying. First up? Tim Geithner Secretary of the Treasury. You know what Tim said under oath? He had NOTHING to do with the fact the US Government gave 100 cents [...]
Well You Can’t Win Em All
Sorry for the non-posting this week. Something aboutbeing stuck in a place where “1/2 the US population is within a day’s drive”. No offense to the people in Indianapolis, but if that was my town’s claim to fame, I’d be……..moving. Actually had a decent time there except for the last 32 minutes of the football [...]
Big Dick Makes Just One Play
Editors note–Wow what a trip to San Diego with the friends of Big Dick and the big man himself. Of course it didn’t look good on Saturday for Big D when he lost both games. But in true Big D fashion, he came through with his playoff lock of the year and the J-E-T-S on [...]
Get Up More Dollars for the Bossman? Probably Not
NOW he’s really pissed. The President, fresh off the smackdown, that was Tuesday night’s election, is fuming. I joked once the election results came in for Senator-elect Brown (which wasn’t even close) that somehow this too was going to be George Bush’s fault. You know what? I was right! See, President Obama said something like [...]
Its All A Market, Right?
Sorry for the absence yesterday, I was a little “under the weather” due to the West Coast trip in San Diego watching the J-E-T-S with Big D. But I’m ok now.
Big Dick Surfs for Winners
Editor’s Note–Well I got just got a phone call from the Big Man himself, Big Dick, and he invited me to San Diego this weekend to hobnob with the hoi polloi. There are someinvitations you just don’t turn down in life, and this is one! I hear they are having a football game there on [...]
Plan B……..,AND Plan C
For the one or two of you out there that haven't read the blog lately, we've been telling people we are going to buy the Monkey Business Mini-Mansion.Then tell the world on these pages what it entails to be real estate moguls. We wont hold punches either. The idea is to buy a rental property [...]
You Really Cant Make this Stuff Up
This just in.Lloyd Blankfein, CEO of Goldman Sachs, just testified in Washington D.C. in front of one of those”official” CongressionalCommittees that he was NEVER asked to take a “haircut” for the amount of the bailout provided to him via AIG back in the fall of 2008. The NY Fed gave out the whole amount in [...]
