Virus

I haven’t eaten anything solid (not permanently) for 3 days now…

An anorexic, anemic kitten could tie me up in knots with one paw.

I haven’t done much at work but go in and wind the clock and let my staff run things like I taught ’em (and they are doing fine, they really don’t need me…)

My ass hurts like I am the New Meat in the cellblock.

I feel as if I may never be able to make noise when I fart again. I could pass a housebrick without straining.

My brother says “norovirus”…. might be right. Or something like it.

Hopefully this will pass soon.

Oh, and By the way..

In addition to Pi day, I have been reminded that this is another special day as well.

Ladies, be sure and celebrate it with you man, significant other, or boyfriend (or any combination of the three).

Men, be sure and let your significant other, girlfriend, or main squeeze (or, if you have the balls, two or more of them) know about this special day.

Celebrate diversity!

Obama hates white people.

He won’t help them when their homes have been destroyed….

Since Bush was reviled as hating blacks (and being racist and/or “hating black people”)when he couldn’t get millions of dollars of Federal aid to them in Louisiana and Mississippi fast enough post Katrina, then it must follow that Mr. “we won” Obama must hate white people in downstate Illinois because he has DENIED any federal disaster aid to all those counties which were destroyed by that line of tornadoes last week…

Racist bastard.

Sorry, illness has temporarily disabled the Free Ice Cream machine.

mayhaps tomorrow there will be content.

If my head doesn’t explode.

How is today different?

Read this. It is long, and a history lesson….but I promise it is relevant.

Think about it.

How is todays economics any different than what happened then?

Think Greece and the bailouts. Think “Quantative Easing” I and II. Think what the EU wants to do to all those folks who currently hold Greek bonds. Think about what happens if Greece (and all the other PIIGS default, and what happens to the insurance market and to the bond market and to the worlds economies.  I, for the life of me, cannot see any difference, except that instead of a King, the decisions are made by a bunch of economists in a meeting in Brussels and Washington DC.

How are we not getting the “short end of the stick”?

BTW, if you have investments (retirement or otherwise) in Europe, or based on the EURO, I highly suggest that you divest yourself of them immediately. The crash will not be good for any of us, no matter where we have our money. But there will be people who are hurt, and people who are devastated. Those with Euro holdings will be in the latter category.
