“Let me use a word,” Christie said, urging parents of the handful of children in the room to cover their ears.
“Bull—-!” he roared, using the full version of BS. “That’s what it is! They don’t want their views blocked.”
Christie ticked off the devastation caused by the storm, including about 360,000 homes or apartments destroyed, and about $37 billion in damage.

The long term unemployed in the U.S are having an easier time finding jobs, while the chronic problem of long-term joblessness may disappear in the months ahead, according to a study released Monday from the Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco.
The jobless rate in the U.S. is currently at 7.9 percent, with some 12.3 million people out of work, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics. Of that, some 4.7 million are [...]
Well, that didn’t take long…and you thought Obamacare was a tax increase!
Less than 12 hours after Obama was officially re-coronated, and reports are coming out that Obama will push massive Cap and Trade carbon taxes to cut the US deficit during his 2nd term.
Barack Obama may consider introducing a tax on carbon emissions to help cut the U.S. budget deficit after winning a second term as president, according to HSBC Holdings Plc.
From Bloomberg:

The former Bush administration official who headed Hurricane Katrina disaster relief said Wednesday that President Barack Obama played “the race card” with his 2007 speech about the Bush administration’s response.
Michael Brown, the former director of the Federal Emergency Management Agency, harshly criticized then-Sen. Obama’s remarks to a black audience at Hampton University, where Obama railed against a double standard for federal relief efforts in New Orleans.
“I call total BS on [...]
Wendy Rosen, the Democratic challenger to Republican Rep. Andy Harris in the 1st Congressional District, withdrew from the race Monday amid allegations that she voted in elections in both Maryland and Florida in 2006 and 2008.
It was unclear, however, whether she could remove her name from the ballot with the election less than two months away. Under state law, a candidate has until 70 days before an election to remove [...]

Understand that not taking care of the other six and just stockpiling gold is DUMB.
Get all of them taken care of, then, if you like, play with one. Personally, I’m in the gun camp. I have them for investment purposes/barter as much as I do for protection.
Remember, if you can’t protect it, you can’t keep it.
To those that say the government will confiscate gold, I say thats BS. They won’t [...]

The financial world has entered a new state of mania with the announcement by the ECB that it will engage in “unlimited” bond buying to maintain lower interest rates for trouble EU sovereigns.
As you no doubt know, our firm’s forecast was that the ECB would not engage in any large-scale bond purchasing programs. We maintain this view today regardless of the ECB’s announcement.
The reason?
The ECB stated very [...]

“What Popp discovered was that benzo[a]pyrene (the cancer producing molecule) absorbed the UV light, then re-emitted it at a completely different frequency — it was a light “scrambler”. The benzo[e]pyrene (harmless to humans), allowed the UV light to pass through it unaltered.
Popp was puzzled by this difference, and continued to experiment with UV light and other compounds. He performed his test on 37 different chemicals, some cancer-causing, some [...]

NOW things are getting interesting!
Who wants a market that goes up and up and up – where’s the sport? Even the Nasdaq finally blew its 15-week winning streak. That helped us decide to stay pretty bearish going into yesterday’s close. This morning we went over the news and the week’s data to position ourselves [...]
Is this a joke? The only ones who CAN win beside Sarkozy are the socialists. And the socialists are even more pro-EU and pro-bailouts than Sarko.
The only ones against all that BS are the FN (Front National) with 15% of the votes compared to Sarko (28%) and Hollande (30%).
Hollande a week ago on the EU :

Percisely 1 year ago today, there was an article on FSN that had a section called, “Bernanke’s crimes against humanity, exporting higher food prices to poor nations.”
The $57 pot pie, IMNSHO (in my never so humble opinion), is a “boots on the ground” observation. Might it be a just a little bit short sighted to say that we agree with ET, or we don’t agree with ET on the point that “Bernanke is is exporting [...]
Update - It gets even better: Greek Deal Lacks Detailed Paperwork For Decision – DJ. What, 50 pages of promises is not enough.
The Greeks “pledge” that they will grow their economy in 2013? May as well pledge unicorn cab cabs for all Germans to their southern province in perpetuity. Yet somehow this is sufficient to squeeze the EURUSD higher as a “deal is done.” Perhaps, but not so fast. As we speculated, [...]

Workers’ share of national income plummets to record low – Yahoo! News
“Over the last decade, the share of U.S. national income taken home by workers has plummeted to a record low.
Check out the chart below, compiled by the Labor Department, and posted this week by conservative writer David Frum. It shows that the decline began with the brief recession that followed 9/11 in 2001. But it continued even as the [...]

It is not only Europe who has perfected the art of baffling everyone with intolerable and relentless bullshit. Fed members have it down pat too. Case in point, just presented prepared remarks by Fed uber-dove and vice chair Janet Yellen and hawk and Atlanta Fed president (who becomes eligible to vote in 2012) Dennis Lockhart. Here are the money quotes via Bloomberg:

One can kneejerk every headline coming out of Europe, or one can buy gold, which has finally had enough with this endless BS and has realized that no matter what the ECB will have to print, followed by everyone else.

As noted in yesterday’s essay, Bernanke and pals’ claims that the US is in a recovery due to the fact the stock market has rallied are totally bogus. Bernanke is measuring his success in US Dollars, which incidentally happens to be a ruler that he can continually shrink with his policies
Much as someone might claim they’ve grown in height because they use a shorter ruler to measure [...]

The IMF has just released its latest “Fiscal Monitor” report which, not surprisingly, is as usual full of pretty charts that alas amount to pretty much nothing. What was surprising is the increasingly more antagonistic tone the IMF has taken with regard to the developed economies.
