Some "squid" humor............

Jim Corzine, John Thain, and Lloyd Blankein are walking down the street with a new recruit, when a beautiful woman strolls by.

The intern says I really would like to screw that and simultaneously all three reply, out of what.     

Ms. Sonders saying it

Liz Ann Sonders, chief investment strategist at Schwab, said that the MF Global situation seemed to be more a miss by the auditors than a regulatory problem.

"It may show that we don't have adults manning the regulatory store, and that to the extent that this was a miss on the part of auditors, that should have been obvious suggests that this is still a problem," she said.

"It's another hit to the confidence certainly of individual investors who have, maybe rightly so, felt that the whole game is rigged against them."

This make you hungry or want to vomit?

Here is this month's refresh from the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program, which informs us that in August, a new all time record number of Americans, or 45.8 million, relied on food stamps for sustenance. So for those who are looking for those up and coming states where the population has decided that slowly but surely work of any kind is an anachronism we suggest you move to Alabama, Delaware, Utah, or Washington: all states that have seen at least a 3% sequential increase in food stamp usage. And, tangentially, confirming that this country's economy is headed straight to hell and won't pass go is the latest news from LPS according to which nearly 40% of loans in foreclosure have not made a payment in two years, and 72% have not made a payment in the past 12 month

Goldman Sachs poetry

There once was a prick named Corzine

His firm looked sick but he said it was fine

Then he finally went broke

Client funds up in smoke

With any luck he'll be doing some time

Only in America...........

I would love to take a two-by-four to anyone remotely Kardashian.   

11/1/11

Native American month is here!   The trick-or-treaters last night were different.   They came in packs and came with no zest or fire or speed.   There was no rush to get on to the next house and accumulate massive amounts of candy.   They were polite and civil and some barely stopped their conversations long enough to say, "trick or treat".  Are they simply products of the social media revolution?

Nice job in landing that 767 in Warsaw......not only do they make them to fly but to get around pretty well on the ground too!   Boeing engineers, the best in the business!

Those big pythons cruising around the Florida everglades are coming to a neighborhood near you if you live in Florida near water.   Keep an eye out because it's just a matter of time before they consume a child.

The Greeks are done.   Amazing how the chickens have come home to roost on that island.   It's just getting good and the case for gold only grows.    And speaking of mayhem, those thugs in New Orleans should be put in front of a firing squad if they ever catch them.   I'd love to be in the front row doing that work!
