Congratulations and it is the first time I can say that I am proud of Mass!

Now, lets see what kind of dirty tricks they play to get the healthcare money grap thru - should be interesting to watch and may also ensure that a goodly number get thrown out on their *ss this fall!  :-)

Way to vote. Two thumbs up.

Always subject to the odd tantrum when people don’t behave themselves.

I’m not a clown. I’m drop-dead gorgeous.

If you inject it with coloidal silver it might.

For Christ sake ..what are these clowns up too now..

The chicken was silvery grey. I half hoped it would lay silver eggs.

The kids thought it was hilarious but the chicken had a a heart attack.

Wow the AUD has taken a hit in the last 1/2 hour

US$ index is heading to 78 again.

We had a chicken that laid green eggs.

The shells, anyway.  The eggs were normal.  Kids thought it was hilarious.  And I’m sure I saw an article about someone trying to breed a green pig.

Renminbi keeps analysts guessing

By Peter Garnham in London and Robert Cookson in Hong Kong

Few questions loom larger with currency strategists this year than whether, and to what extent, China will allow its currency to appreciate.

The country is under growing pressure from its international trading partners, led by the US, Europe and Japan, to let the renminbi rise. But so far it has shown little willingness to heed such calls.

On the contrary: last month, Wen Jiabao, China’s premier, said he would “absolutely not yield” to pressure for a stronger renminbi.

But the overwhelming consensus among analysts is that China is likely to abandon the renminbi’s de facto peg to the dollar as the world emerges from the financial crisis.

Indeed, over the last month, the futures market has moved from expecting a 1.7 per cent appreciation in the renminbi against the dollar over the next year to forecasting a rise of more than 3 per cent.

Adrian Foster at Rabobank says: “The combination of rising foreign exchange reserves and renewed growth in exports is likely to result in growing calls for China to revalue the renminbi.

“We expect the authorities to restart currency reform this year.”

More Irregularities in GLD Bar List

Why would the current GLD bar list be missing approximately 700 metric tonnes worth of gold bar inventory?

GLD bar list:

Back in October, the GLD bar list went short for several weeks.

The most recent [Jan. 15, 2010] GLD pdf bar list [appended above] has 157 pages, two rows of 105 bars per page [except for the first page which has 2 rows of 86] for a total of: 32,932 BARS The most recent bar list is archived at kirbyanalytics in the left column and right at the top of the pdf document it says that the total allocated bar count is 89,473. The list is MISSING 56,541 – 400 oz bars – or close to 700 metric tonnes.

The Jan. 8, 2010 Bar List was 1,617 Pages long, consisting of 90,475 bars.

Wonder how long before the bar list is revised “UP” again? Keep track of the GLD pdf bar list at this link:http://www.spdrgoldshares.com/sites/us/gold_bar_list/

What’s wrong with that guy?  He should turn in his badge!  :mrgreen:

Lifeboat @ 18:54 pm

I doubt those pirates are going to go back to the life of fishermen even if the fish were climbing into their boats.  They’ve got stars in their eyes and dreams of the big score.  Maybe if the various navy’s got tough they would….but that’s just not happening at this point.

aarrggh!

You watch for anything odd in the am…yell and scream if you see it in the pits…
Traders will see the writing on the wall early on …it isn’t just health care..it is pension reform IRA reform…state bailouts .coming..all in rapid fire order…in 38 minutes the SHTF……
the reps that vote in health care will be taken care of after they lose at midterm elections..you have to know Rahm Emanuel and just how vicious he is…the ramifications of not voting this stuff in is worse than losing your seat at the polls…trust me..

No-nothings

Richard Russell again

“”Today there are two kinds of experts, those who simply don’t know anything, and those who are smart enough to know that nobody knows anything. To be cock-sure today is to be a charlatan, and there are too many of them around.”"

Next time I start to pontificate, just remind me of this please. Tx

Another big day tomorrow in Pm’s …and if you read between the lines Nancy Pelosi says Mass doesn’t matter …We will do what we have to in getting Health Care Bill through….The inner guys are from Chicago and they WILL take the initiative and ram this bill through…they have years of training under Richie Daley…and are not going to be denied….bullheaded is an understatement…this deal gets done in days….Raham E is twisting necks and groins as I type

ipso_facto @ 11:25 re pirates

That’s interesting. A few days ago we were shown a report which tried to exonerate the pirates on the basis that the world had stolen their fish. So does this mean they’ll go back to fishing now? BTW, I read that several pirates were killed when they squabbled over the ransom paid for the supertanker. Who said the life of a pirate was easy?

Maples

No problem here…both those girls are strikers for the Hopkins Belize Beach Volleyball Team….in fact Miss November is wearing the team jersey…..I wonder if I can get Aurum to be a referee….hmmmm…but by the way neither of them are a cute as AuGirl…
