Hi Boys and and Girls! Somebody singing MY song? I keep saying (typing?) "You better FIND AND KILL THEM before THEY STARVE YOU OUT, and I am friggin' ignored. Have you heard the great news this morning? The DOW futures are giddy with anticipation that the Fed et al are going to steal from the poor to prop up the wealthy, AGAIN!

How about a diary series on the "Reverse Robinhood Effect"? Just prior to my new series "Blood in the Streets".

Now I know why I came to this planet NOW! The fun has just begun!

They tried to assimilate me. They failed.
