My prediction came true. My raise will have to wait for 3 months so I got the OK to use the company card for my gas and lunches...... I'll take it.

I'm good at this

Sharlie, I may just have to pick your brain for some tips!

Or some food, if/when I become a zombie.

Europe might not blow up. At long last they might have found a way to keep on keeping on. Here's a clip of Aaron Task talking to Jim O'Neill. O'Neill, if you don't follow these things, is known for being a brainiac. I like how he says not to get confused with what you think should happen and what you predict is going to happen.

Sally Forth... Is she still around? Not a bad looking broad when I was a youngster.

I'm afraid I don't share his optimism. It really doesn't matter what the interest rate is, if the "middle-class" does not gain any buying power. And, the way OWS went global as fast as it did suggests that that buying power isn't there. Apparently, it's the same problem around the world, and very likely for the same reason. We're looking at another 9 years or better before there's any significant improvement here. Chances are that elsewhere, the story won't be a lot different. Government and financial institutions are not well connected with the majority of the public.

From what I've been reading, UK and Israel will both be in Iran. That could put you guys and the aussies right there with them. South Korea is a wild-card at this point. Kim Jong Nu is likely to be a "kid with a brand new toy". Hate to think of a teenager with a finger on the nuke button.

Hey Mitch, I'm sure this is nothing to worry about, I've heard it's just wargames. But have you driven by the beach lately? What's got me wondering is the sheer number of ships headed your way. I've never heard of 1/2 the Asian fleet involved in wargames. And what's this nonsense about stopping the NZ menace?
