The US mainstream media outlets suck. They are pathetic. More proof. http://directorblue.blogspot.com/2012/05/old-media-is-bleeding-out-right-before.html

I'm not sure wtf a feeder cattle is. This I know. It is the only commodity that is not at the bottom end of the years' price range. Geezus. Do not ask God to return you as a feeder cow. This ain't exactly the life of Riley. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Feeder_cattle At any rate, the whole commodity complex has been getting crushed as the world realizes that not only is there no recovery- but that a whole lot of contraction and money printing- is taking place. The bankers just can't keep this bus from going off the cliff. It is a worldwide problem and the central bankers, ours especially, are desperately trying everything they can to maintain power, control, and greed. But God love those thieving bastards- I think they are going to get their asses kicked. Oil prices are at 7 month lows. Back in late November, a gallon of gas was about 40 cents cheaper at retail on average nationwide (3.31) than it is today. This reflects the oil producers, refiners, and retailers who

Rex Nutting. A couple of days ago, I saw Nutting's graph. I knew it was bullshit but I didn't stop and really look at it. Somebody else did. Nutting claimed that Obama hadn't been spending near the amount of money that people thought he had- and he offered the following graph as proof. Problem is, he conveniently assigned 2009 to George Bush. That was the year of the 1.6 trillion total stimulus and bailout mess... This is the kind of bullshit we are going to be subjected to for another 6 months. Note George Bush's spending- like it's much better. Stolen from Doug Ross's site... Yet financial columnist Rex Nutting of MarketWatch tries to portray the president as being downright stingy in a piece entitled, stunningly, “Obama spending binge never happened”: Of all the falsehoods told about President Barack Obama, the biggest whopper is the one about his reckless spending spree. As would-be president Mitt Romney tells it: “I will lead us out of this

I stumbled onto this site after reading another writer who had subjected his own writing to this test. It is pretty simple and quick to use. Click on the first link, cut and paste your sample into the box, and submit whatever writing you choose. http://www.standards-schmandards.com/2005/measuring-text-readability/ Interestingly enough, I submitted 15 blogs from my site and a few other bloggers. The ranges were a grade level (5) Knuckledraggin My Life Away (stolen truck block) to a grade level (17) at naked capitalism. My scores were between 7 and 12. I even submitted an Obama campaign speech (text, obviously) in 2008. It scored at the eighth grade level.  Oddly or not...I liked Kenny's piece the best. Grade level 5. I had a promising future back then.

This is a great vid. Sums up the media perfectly.

Classic. Remember Clooney's big fundraiser? Hey Clooney... fuck you.

Yesterday, I was doing the annual insurance review with my agent. She is a good looking blonde gal with big boobs. I always arrive early. At any rate, we stumbled onto the health insurance question. I told her quite simply that I was waiting for the Supreme Court to throw out Obamacare. Then the health picture would be less cloudy. She asked me if I was sure that was going to happen. I responded with laughter. Can you imagine the pent up demand of 40 or 50 million people that have no health insurance and are sitting idly by while waiting for this monstrosity to take effect? Like me? What Obamacare and all health plans hope to do, is capture healthy plan participants- strip away their premiums- and deliver that dough to unhealthy people, care providers, and big pharma. Of course they scoop off a big profit for themselves. Health care before Obamacare and after- is the purest form of socialism ever conceived on our soil. Here's the rub- the part that liberals just can't c

In the new America, bankers are above the law. Witness the latest atrocity and absolutely know...that the government won't do a fucking thing. They had this administration co-opted from the beginning. http://finance.yahoo.com/blogs/daily-ticker/facebook-bankers-secretly-cut-facebook-revenue-estimates-middle-133648905.html

From a ZH commenter comes this latest gem which defines our ineptocracy- perfectly. *_Ineptocracy_****(in-ep-toc’-ra-cy) - a system of government where the least capable to lead are elected by the least capable of producing, and where the members of society least likely to sustain themselves or succeed, are rewarded with goods and services paid for by the confiscated wealth of a diminishing number of producers*

You just know the losses are understated. Bankers can't tell the truth with a gun to their heads. That's why the original losses from Dimon's own mouth were given at 2 billion. Let me shed a tear for these banker pricks. http://money.cnn.com/2012/05/18/markets/jpmorgan-loss/index.htm?iid=Lead Last week, I read a story about Jamie Dimon getting his annual 20 million dollar pay and bonus package from the board- this while losing billions. This is what I think the board should do. Fire Dimon. Hire me. I can lose far more money that Dimon can and I will do it for half the salary. I'm a bargain.

The greatest stock scam of the year. A company with puny earnings, with no real future earnings visibility or growth, with no barriers to competition- had a stock offering issued at 38 bucks. It is down 5 bucks today as those highly valued clients- the ones that get access to hot offerings- try to unload this stock upon the hoi polloi with no access on Friday. Fuckers, I hope they choke on it. In other news, Fadebook Captain Zuckerberg got married the day after the IPO. That way, years from now after his new wife has had enough of his shit, he will be able to chop up his 100 billion or so that much easier...I hate it when people refer to fleecing the general public, or preserving wealth at the expense of what is supposed to be love...smart. I guess by those standards, I will never be smart. Oh well... http://finance.yahoo.com/news/zuckerbergs-post-ipo-wedding-smart-022814575.html Wow. I am predicting Fadebook under 20 bucks a share by years end. Very easy money. Just like shortin

Gawd help me, there are only three pre-requisites for reading shit on Huffington Post. First you must be a flaming liberal that believes that nothing is more important than fantasy and availing yourself of responsibility and turning it over to the state. Secondly, you must lead the kind of narcissistic and superficial life that finds articles on Huffpo enlightening. And thirdly, you must avail yourself of any intelligence or common sense- that amount which may elevate you to some level beyond that of a tapeworm.  Then settle in for a good read. http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2012/05/20/sleep-sex-mattress_n_1528972.html Go find a kitchen counter or a staircase. Find something to write about. Is this what you people find interesting? A discussion about mattresses? Geezus, you people are fucking morons. No wonder we got Bush-Clinton-Bush-Obama. Now Romney or Obama. It all makes sense, doesn't it?

You love you.

It was an interesting week. On Tuesday, I started buying silver again. I didn't buy any gold this week. On Thursday, the slaughter in the precious metals complex stopped. We found an intermediate bottom. I am in amazement. Some of the most worthless instruments on the planet, the US dollar and US bonds (both of which are debt instruments) are still being bought and referred to as "safe havens." These items are of course- promoted by bankers. Items of value, with limited supply and no counter party risk, were being sold as though they are worthless. When the banking elite have been shaping your perception all of your life- does it not in fact become reality? I think so, at least until the whole paper ponzi scheme crashes which I think is imminent. By imminent- I mean soon. I have a love- hate relationship with Facebook. For many years, I avoided FB like the plague. I saw no real value to it. However, my father of all people, had it. Since he lived in the boondocks tw
