I guarantee that the Iron boys can fish for their food and happily give away that catch to friends and family as well.

BR might be able to fix a bike but ranting about what pro surfers can’t do is his true purpose.

Thanks for the insight there BR, now get back to writing add for your local paper.

Thanks for the shout out Lewis. I don’t comment here for the accolades, as you know.

But, it feels good to know the effort gets rewarded every now and again.

And to those who cry foul… a pox uponst your houses for being waaaaaay too slow.

But, you had fun while it lasted, didn’t you?

heh heh heh.

Should have went with Hank the Plank Paulson’s original plan of buying up all the supposedly junk paper, with the government holding it for the long term.

This action would have cleared markets immediately, and turned into another Alaskan Purchase. Huge gains on behalf of the government for the citizenry.

Instead we had the Congress and Senate get in the way and absolutely make a mess of the whole thing.

Bureaucracy. Blah!

After reading some of the prior comments we are compelled to offer a quick remedial in economic theory. The Keynesian school purports that governments stimulate ailing economies through government spending and tax cuts- some what akin to Obama’s current moves (although this is also contested as “Black Hole economics”). Relevant to Mr. Sammuels comment, a major point of concern in Keyensian economics is “excessive saving”- thought to be a serious problem to economies. In other words Keynesian economics looks also at individual behavior and requires the individual to spend, spend, spend.

Moving on, our 3 to 5 year economic outlook is poor and sees serious economic hurdles obstructing even slight recovery. One of our pink elephants in the room is in the form of commercial business & Alt A loans. It will take 4 to 6 years at best for the market to absorb this pending calamity. We strongly object to, and consider it a public disservice, that CEO’s and various public officials knowingly purport erroneous tales of turnaround, “1st qtr 2010 will really leap”, etc. These shutzpahs are well informed to this pending disaster and merely maintaining a pr campaign.

With recovery dependent on consumer spending this will be a journey long and painful. Why will consumers start spending again (grossly overconsuming)? Key, will be a progression through several stages: a significant decrease in unemployment, reduction in personal debt, accumulation of savings to a comfortable level of security, and finally a desire to spend. We concede that certain anomalies exist in this theory, namely the flatscreen market which still maintains growing sales. Oi’!

Our current recommendation advises complete divestiture from securities and real estate if not done so already. A significant portion of the proceeds should be funneled to weapons and non-perishable food stocks. We see urban environments morphing into dangerous stages with hungry, roving gangs of those unprepared for the apocalypse. Families should have several assault style rifles and substantial ammunition. We suggest AR-15’s or similar rifles using widely available .223 rounds. In addition family patriarchs should consider carrying side arms. Again 9mm are suggested based on the availability of ammunition. Further information should be sought from survivalist websites.

I guess it kind of makes sense that if BR were to plagiarize he would do it from a site called hotchickswithdouchebags.com. Then again, maybe he has a deal with them to bring in new users and get a cut on the clicks. Or he’s just trying to build up his street cred by making us think he’s as sick an individual in real life as he is commenting is here on PS. I mean, really, who would want to check out shots of chicks (even if they’re hot) holding or doing who knows what else with douche bags? Makes me want to puke, and definitely not a turn on.
@Mark “Jones” and Stu “Smith”, yeah right! Unless Lewis would be kind enough to verify that those really are your last names…

The most disappointing fact is that BR goes to such a fucking retarded website. …And comments (at least if he is Steve Zodiac).

I called BR out on this type of shit way back when. First as Sesquipidalian, to point out BR’s thesaurus abuse, then subsequently using few other monikers such as the one used above. Of course, then I began using my real name, which BR has still not yet begun to do.

He just went from many monikers to BR, then back to AI’s Dealer, Occy’s Underbite, and Mr. Meatwhistle.

Do I still enjoy a lewd and twisted BR non sequitur? Absolutely. Even if that is his pony’s one trick.

Of course it is possible that BR is Steve Zodiac.
