Let me tell you something. I was one of the few people on earth who did NOT watch the Royal Wedding this morning, but I just saw some pictures. And let me tell you something else, I WAS around the last time one of these “fairy tale” weddings went on. When Prince William’s mother and [...]
The Business of Sports
I might head on down to the Radio City Music Hall tonight and watch the National Football League draft live and in person. First, I’ll have a few cold, “road sodas” so that I can fit in with the rest of the degenerates that go there. Last year was fabulous. The Philadelphia Eagles fan bus [...]
Recovery?!? You Talkin’ ‘Bout Recovery?!?
See? I told you Bennie Bernanke was going to be borrrrrrring. And for awhile there my day was a LOT more exciting. However, my choice in the 3rd race at Keeneland, MINTS N THE VALLEY, came in 3rd at odds of 6-1 after leading for a lot of the race. But “Bennie B” said all [...]
Q & A With Bennie B
When I awakened this morning, I thought it might be high time for a live blog as Fed Chairman Ben Bernanke has his “town hall meeting” with the good taxpayers of America. Now that I think about it a little more, I have more important things to do. Like watching paint dry, banging my head [...]
Here’s An Economic Indicator
I sometimes feel like I live in the 50s or 60s. I drink booze a lot, smoke cigars, sometimes call women “broads”, and play the ponies. I think all 4 of those things are a “no-no” in today’s day and age. You know what I think about that? People can politely go kill themselves, if [...]
Reality Sets In
A CD that I would recommend to EVERYONE is “Frank Sinatra: Live at the Sands with the Count Basie Orchestra 1965″. You see, you youngbloods, the Sands in Las Vegas used to be on the location where the Venetian Hotel lies today. And if you want to take the best of say 5 hotels in [...]
Getting Out of Jail Ain’t Free
Interesting article on WSJ.com this morning. Talking about how accused criminals are spending a WHOLE lot more time in jail these days, due to not being able to post bail. You know how the bail system works? Well, the accused has to post bail (if a judge allows it) to get out of jail prior [...]
Happy Easter Monday!
Did you know that Easter Monday, the day after Easter, is a big holiday as well, that is celebrated in many parts of the world? I celebrate it pretty hard too, being the very religious person that I am. Only I kind of refer to it as “my own little Independence Day”!! Yeah I’ll take [...]
Stop The Fed. Oh We Get a Lot of Things Right Here
As I sit laughing bitterly at the Prez looking to go get the “evil speculators” for spiking the price of oil I am reminded of this piece we put out in OCTOBER 2010. Here it is.
The Big Long
So I am poolside in sunny 90 degree Naples, Florida. Just finished reading “The Big Short” by Michael Lewis. I know. I know. What took me so long right? I just figured I lived some of it and knew what happened already. But I was glad I read it knowing a lot of the “playahsss” [...]
