  1. I just wish the financial people would be honest. And correct it. It would be so easy to correct. But they don’t want to correct the economy.

    Should have never given the big banksters the trillions of free money that the public will and is winding up having to pay back even though the money was created out of nothing. Should have thrown the big banksters in prison and shut down their crooked buisnesses(big banks).

    Should have given the trillions to taxpayers so they could have spent the money and created a booming society.

    Psssst.

    Whatzit?

    You’re supposed to behave, Agnes. This is CHURCH.

    But I gotta twist in my knickers.

    SsHHHHHHHHHH. The Preacher is speaking!

    “Mwa bwa blah bleeeet Give US Treasury our monetary and fiscal policy mwaa baaaaaaah”

    Good Lord, he sounds like a sheep!

    SSSSSHHHHHHHH. We’re going to have to ask you to leave.

    But why are we talking about poly-ticks in church? Where’s God?

    God is a part of your future, Agnes! You need to accept the good: trust, have faith in a ‘few good men’ to lead the way back to our Republic!

    Look church is church. I came here to feel sanctimonious. Now everybody’s wearing those teabags off their hats and crowing about the Federal Reserve.

    THAT’S IT. OUT YOU GO. BE GONE, HEATHEN!!! TO THE OUTER DARKNESS WITH YOU, AND DON’T LET THE DOOR HIT YOU IN THE ASS ON THE WAY OUT.

    –whoosh, slam—

    Well, that didn’t go over well. HEH, I want my money back out of that collection plate!

  14. @bonn faking your death is probably a way to add value to your work (through scarcity), but seems to me the main routes to artistic success are what art school you went to and who you know in the art world. Art dealers play with the scarcity thing anyway even before an artist is dead, so dying isn’t what it used to be.

  15. @ Dan Valley
    Now do you believe that we were more advanced in Technology than what we currently have
    Now have a look @ this
    I think those are remenance of an Ancient Nuke War
    http://www.psi.edu/explorecraters/intro_pics/crater_map_22.jpg
    Notice the place where the craters are ??? the Astroids have sure been selective where they have landed
    take a freakin Foodball or any Spherical object Dip it in Glue
    Bake popcorn ; rotate the sphere with a world map
    Throw freakin popcorn onto the Sphere dipped in Glue
    Show me the same pattern

    Now Evidence of Cancer

    I have checked all cancers its the same pattern
    Why are astroids so selective where they land
    Dont you think thats strange
    I ‘m tellin yas we blew our self to smithereens

    And I do Suspect Gulf of Mexico is where the largest atomic bomb landed and Sunk the Lost City of atlantis
    Also the bermuda triangle was some sort of Technology Atlantis had Free energy Maybe ???

    The name of an ancient site – Ba’albek in Lebanon – has now been mentioned in dispatches by war correspondents covering the latest flareup in the Middle East. Israeli planes have been dropping bombs there on training and supply encampments of Hezbollah terrorists, in a tit-for-tat for the latter’s missile attacks on Israel.

    @Mep….Wont let me open link….I imagine them with wheel barrows and 5lb coffee cans dressed in period surf clothing

  21. @ dan valley – :-)

    For this one, you actually have to imagine farmers making off with stolen dirt for the mental association I’m making to work:

    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T-I7ZpXphzY

  22. dan valley

    @Mep the great thing about dirt is it doesnt need any attention you just cover it with some plants so other dirt farmers dont see it and try to make off with it.

  23. @ Davem
    The us dollar and gold
    As western society collapses around us, I think we’re all starting to ask questions about what’s going on and how we got here.

    Tis was one of me Ideas
    Hic ;-)

  24. @ dan – a successful dirt farmer?! Well, damn, sure hope you’re successful, because I know how long it takes to grow an inch of dirt, and I also know that there’s a whole lot of soil that’s just completely fucked! On a more serious note, I hope those downers aren’t too bad; I’ve never in my life been so freaked out emotionally about everybody around me . . . I can’t even pay too much attention to the devastation in the Gulf coast because even THOSE people and those animals feel “too close”. There’s just a constant ache and a constant worry about everybody. I don’t know if it’s “normal” in any way or not. But let me know how the farming proceeds so I know when to order some dirt from you. :-)

    @davem – That’s cool! In my hometown, I once happened across the grave of a Titanic survivor. Don’t know what she eventually died from after surviving the Titanic, but there’s definitely something reverent and cool about historic grave sites. I’d like to see a pic of that machine gun inventor’s site.

  33. dan valley

    @Mep I have a few downers im dealing with….but I hope to become a sucessful dirt farmer in the near term…:)

  34. @ Dan – no kidding. went to a local cemetary today to find a resting spot for my father-in-law (he asked us to go and take pics of decent areas, as he is out-of-state) . . . got some pics to eventually share with anyone on the boards here who may be interested in seeing the graves of Frederick Douglass and Susan B. Anthony . . . they’re both buried here.

    But, you’re supposed to tell me something, anything good about your life so that I’m not stuck thinking that everyone around me–even in cyberspace–is struggling. Do you have anything, or are things sucking for you, too?

  35. I think I’ve asked this before, but is something that I can’t get my tiny brain around. Max & stacy have often said on TAM that English people have unhealthy obsessions about house prices, and maybe I am one of those obsessives, though I only have one little house and dont believe in property portfolios. If the dollar and pound crash, I assume that house prices will also crash? Is it best to sell now and rent (take the money and run)? Or is property a more solid thing to own than cash, worth holding onto in the event of GB going bust? Is it as good as gold?

  36. dan valley

    @Mep…..sounds time for a change.

  37. @ dan – stuff sucks man! we’ve been completely surrounded with death lately. lost 2 friends, our fetus, a relative of mine, and my father-in-law is on the way out . . . sister-in-law is also preparing to lose her dad. but ya know what, it’s life, and it’s tough, Just trying to hang on is all. tell me that things are good in your world, and I can go to bed with a semi-smile on my face.

    Hey Mep hows stuff?

  40. Shit, I keep refreshing and seeing my own squirrel avatar sitting there stupidly. Here’s a nice chill tune for those waking. Peace and love to you all.

  41. @ Marc – you’re right, totally Obama’s fault . . . for not making the case for single payer.

  42. @TOP – I think it was very much fair. If a potential or current congressman’s stated position is that the federal government should not be able to tell private businesses that they can not discriminate based on skin color, those people should be made to clarify their positions. Rand Paul set a trap for himself by opposing the central purpose of the civil rights act. Someone other than Rachel Maddow should’ve been out there asking him to drill down on his positions and policy stances.
