And also with you, we lift them up to the lord, let us give thanks to the lord our God, it is right to give thanks and priase... *bells*

Checking............ don't care.

Too fantastic for words. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LdbbXeYop60&feature=youtu.be

No doubt you're in the Chef Jim camp.

Jesus, are you and GG using Altavista for your web searches? And what's the problem--you feel so outmatched that you called in reinforcements? Typical baseball player--can't finish off the game so go to the bullpen. World Series TV ratings...plummeting Last year, record lows. Even comparing viwewers to viewers, it's less than the 1999 WOMEN's World Cup. Arguing with you dinosaurs is like beating up retards.

Please, Pele was practically pushing up flowers when he was in NY. That was the birth of soccer interest. Now you're starting to see some growth. I know it's sad for the baseball people. I pity you all holding on to a fading past. Baseball now gets a third of the viewers for the World Series than it got 40 years ago, last year of course being a record low. Keep telling yourself baseball still matters. The Women's World Cup final in 1999 drew 40 million viewers. Baseball hasn't had a 40 million viewer world series since 1981 and it sure as **** won't ever again.

In the spectrum of things I don't care about, this detail is up there.

Clinton could get elected today. Reality is waiting for your arrival.

Weinergate could take down the country? How about the gay Republican in the bathroom stall? He's still not admitting what he did. Gingrich brought his affair to the Anita Hill fiasco and his wife was on her death bed. Strom Thurmond effed young black women while repressing them. Ovama smokes. Bush started a war with no evidence and no one even got fired! All Weiner did was send dirty pics to someone who wanted them. Not a model citizen but down the list of poor conduct. At least Spitzer did something illegal. Stupidly illegal but at least illegal. Color me not caring much except that here's another in a long line of politician disappointments.

Mike Mamula and Brian Bosworth thank you for this post. Not only that, Troup can only throw a medicine ball 30 feet.

In the last cycle's "blood bath," we had 85+% reelection. That'll teach 'em! Don't invoke my name. I like sleeping.

One of the greatest characters this board has ever seen.

With apologies to my adoring fan base, it will be short-lived. Someone brought this beauty of a thread to my attention.

You are stupid. I had a 4.0 GPA and make 450K/year.

Here's my first post in this thread: So you're not exactly Nostradamus--even I agreed with you. My point is the one LA made. People obsessed with doom see doom and rarely it's opposite. Again: Silent during a month of good news. Post a day after the first significant bad day in a month. Your timing speaks for itself. I have no preconceived view: My view is conceived from your posts. As far as the DD connection, they guy gave you his personal seal of approval FFS. And yes, I am going mental on this board. I stayed away for a month and then was drawn into a debate with OC. Now I'm here talking with you. I keep posting links to pixieland and Darin won't ban me. He revels in my pain.

So instead of noting how accurate you were during the great earnings season, you just happened to wait until after a 250 DJIA point drop to do the "I am right about census jobs running out" dance? You time your posts in tune with peaks in pessimism: Admit it. (This board makes me mental. I'm thinking about joining Lori.)

My point is not that I ignore there are many macro signs pointing to "bad," it's just that they are not ALL pointing to bad. Recognizing the bad signs, a some of my portfolio is in commodities and even some in a volatility fund. Bad to Magox is also good for his business so in a way, he's optimistic too!

No ****!

Indeed, but ignoring corporate earnings is also missing at least part of the equation and Magox's predictions even note the market so he can't just ignore it and say it doesn't matter. Magox promotes a flight to commodities, advice I follow actually, so focusing on the bad macro **** is good for him. I get that. Just note the posting frequency: Banner earnings season with some bits of good news=silence. Crushing day in the market=post.

So for the last three weeks of great earnings, you just decided to take a hiatus...but then today after a 250 point drop, you post. Come on man. Fair and balanced. GM: 1.3 billion profit. Some of the above were not even predictions, BTW, but statements of fact. And some are hardly proven or who knows what effects they are having if any. The DJIA is up a thousand points since you made your prediction. The gold index GLD is down 2%. Bogeymen aren't around all corners.

And from July 17 to August 12? Come on Dwight: Fair and balanced reporting.

He is still the best. It's just that during baseball season, there are no sports worth watching. Sauna > baseball

You don't know that but don't let that bother you. I admire the baseball bat guy's moxy and like the rewarding cling of the bat connecting as much as anyone but 1v6 were really bad odds and he just barely got away without the beatdown of a lifetime. I agree with the observation that he should have just floored the car and let the bodies fall where they may. His self-defense case was clear to me.

Not for an album. The Roth VH hasn't made an lp since 1984.

I love Van Halen but they didn't play the kind of music that lends itself to 50 year old performers.
