– European Crisis Explanation… For Dummies From Greeks (ZeroHedge, Mar 23, 2012):

Pulling no punches and as irreverent as we can imagine, Mr. Panos – the Greek ‘Borat’ – explains (with a somewhat shocking sense of reality) just what the European crisis – most specifically the Greek ‘angle’ – is all about. From taxes, tourists, shadow economies, war retribution, and german-union realities –  after watching this clip, everything about Greece will be henceforth clear…except perhaps whether Greece has higher exports of Potassium than Kazakhstan. Enjoy.

Horrible News For Goldbugs – Billionaire John Paulson Is Bullish On Gold Again; Next – Nouriel Roubini?

by

🙂 ROFL! 🙂

– Horrible News For Goldbugs – Paulson Is Bullish On Gold Again; Next – Roubini? (ZeroHedge, Feb. 17, 2012):

We wish we had good news, but we are not going to lie: This is the worst possible news for any gold bull out there.

From Bloomberg:

Gold traders are getting more bullish after billionaire hedge-fund manager John Paulson told investors it’s time to buy the metal as protection against inflation caused by government spending.

“By the time inflation becomes evident, gold will probably have moved, which implies that now is the time to build a position in gold,” New-York based Paulson said in a letter to investors obtained by Bloomberg. Armel Leslie, a spokesman for Paulson, declined to comment.

The 56-year-old manager’s SPDR Gold Trust holdings fell 15 percent in the fourth quarter as his $23 billion hedge fund company had its worst-ever year. His Advantage Plus Fund lost 51 percent in 2011, and the firm said in a third-quarter letter that financial services companies were the “primary drag.” Paulson became a billionaire in 2007 by betting against the U.S. subprime mortgage market. Gold rose 10 percent last year in New York trading, an 11th consecutive annual gain.

And so the Paulson overhang is back. Couldn’t Paulson just go ahead and buy Bank of America or some other worthless biohazard again?All that remains is for Roubini to say he prefers gold over spam (and always has, he was merely “misunderstood“) and the crash will be imminent.

Or perhaps we will learn following the next $1000 up move in gold that Gartman will have been long gold in Vietnamese Dong.

Well, at least cheap entry points will be available.

Unintentionally Hilarious EU Video Celebrates The ‘Success’ Of The Euro

by

You really can’t make this stuff up!

– Unintentionally hilarious EU video celebrates the ‘success’ of the euro (Telegraph, Dec. 2, 2011):

The euro shall triumph over the markets!

I’ve tried, I really have, to go easy on the whole EUSSR-Stalinist shtick. But there are times when Evropeiski Soyuz propaganda is beyond parody. I mean, just look at this video, launched by the European Central Bank to celebrate a decade of the unalloyed triumph of the single currency. For all the efforts by markets, bond traders and other agents of Goldsteinism to sabotage The Party, the project remains on course, comrades.

I particularly enjoyed the clever touch of making the woman at the beginning Greek. And the instruction to Greeks that they had until 1 March to exchange their old drachma notes for euros – sublime!

– Drunken Ben Bernanke Tells Everyone At Neighborhood Bar How Screwed U.S. Economy Really Is (The Onion, Aug. 3, 2011):


The intoxicated Federal Reserve chairman informs bar patrons of the dangers of reckless spending.

SEWARD, NE—Claiming he wasn’t afraid to let everyone in attendance know about “the real mess we’re in,” Federal Reserve chairman Ben Bernanke reportedly got drunk Tuesday and told everyone at Elwood’s Corner Tavern about how absolutely fucked the U.S. economy actually is.

Bernanke, who sources confirmed was “totally sloshed,” arrived at the drinking establishment at approximately 5:30 p.m., ensconced himself upon a bar stool, and consumed several bottles of Miller High Life and a half-dozen shots of whiskey while loudly proclaiming to any patron who would listen that the economic outlook was “pretty goddamned awful if you want the God’s honest truth.”

‘Terrorists’ Kidnap Ronald McDonald Statue in Helsinki (Video)

by


Added: 2. February 2011

HELSINKI — A group calling itself the Food Liberation Army has claimed responsibility for “kidnapping” a statue of the McDonald’s food chain mascot Ronald McDonald and has threatened to “execute” the figure if their demands are not met.

The group posted a video on YouTube where balaclava-clad “terrorists”, holding the clown statue with a bag over its head, demanded that the world’s largest food chain answer questions about its corporate responsibility and food production.

“We love burgers, fries and McDonald’s, but we can no longer watch in silence as the food we love is being destroyed and brought to shame because of greed and indifference,” one of the “terrorists” said, speaking in Finnish.
