Or is it a rut?

But all the lines are cut
I get so angry, but I
keep my mouth shut
And turn it up

Hello, Deadpan! I just posted a new blog post about writing to my WordPress blog, to which my name is now a link. (Which, of course, means that this comment will get stuck in murgatory.)

Mongol looks intriguing. I’ll probably have to wait for Netflix.

Yes, we’re in a bit of a lull this week.

Apparently my nipples on the desk didn’t attract as much attention as I’d hoped.

Well Mongol had very pretty landscapes, heck even the spurts of blood were artistic.

Gawd I felt tired tonight, even holding a magazine I was reading was an effort. Early weeks are killing me.

EssBee – if it makes you feel any better, there is a good chance that “Washington” doesn’t realize their part in this ongoing financial fiasco.
All of the “financial legislation” and “financial packages” that are voted on and approved in Washington are actually written by “advisors” from the financial industry. These things are written to be far to convoluted and obtuse for the politicians to understand.

So it’s probably not “conspiracy”, just ineptitude and a willingness to hand the keys of the Hen House over to the smiling fox who is holding a bag of cash and saying “trust me”.

I don’t know how that would make one feel better but maybe it’s something.

So … (dot dot dot)

I spend a fair amount of time poking at the stock market with a sharp stick in a futile attempt to annoy it.
I know that most people don’t want to know about such things but I was just sent an e-mail that so nicely summarized one of the current financial scenarios, I just had to share.
(You may want to clear a crash landing area on your for your head BEFORE reading)
++++++++++++++

1.Government announces the issuance of stimulus checks.

2.Fed opens the discount window to Wall Street investment
bankers, giving them CASH in exchange for the illiquid, dead money, subprime mortgages they wrote.

3. Wall Street Investment banks put the fresh cash to good use,
buying $100+ futures contracts for oil and issuing $200 price targets for oil.

4. America receives stimulus checks via the mailbox.

5. America deposits stimulus checks via the gas pump.

6. Wall Street receives stimulus checks via the “oil futures” contracts.

Pretty neat trick huh.

A transfer of wealth by any other name…
is still a transfer of wealth.

Alan Greenspan said it best, way back in 1966:

“In the absence of a gold standard, there is no way
to protect savings from confiscation through inflation.”

I would argue from experience that anything goes with New Orleans — or is that *in* New Orleans. Darn memory!
