There ain't no Credit Crunch fool!

Almost everyone and their assets are humped in the Credit Crunch: savings, pensions, home owners, investors, bankers essentially anyone with money.

No money? Nothing to worry about apart from still being skint, and possibly losing your job.

Only one group of investors bucked the trend and are continuing to make money.

Was it Warren Buffet?

The richest man in the world and 'his adherence to the value investing philosophy', was it hell.

Turns out, due to the rocketing price of gold the most cash savvy, astute investors have been Mr T and the Hip Hop and Rapping community of the US of A, who have now created, the Negroes World Order, kind of a cross between NWA and the New World Order. In a nut shell, that's why Obama's in.

Mr T's neck wear and jewellery excess has earned him a promotion from the A team, and enemy of the state, to the head of the US Treasury, with the rest of the remaining members taking up jobs as part of his team. The plan to get out of the current economic crisis isn't with high government spending, financial prudence and greater banking regulation. Instead Mr T and his 'aids' are welding a stove pipe to the top of a 1978 Ford pickup and will launch cabbages at anything that doesn't do as he says.

Weren't the A team just a hard bunch of hippies - no one ever died.

Using vegetables as weapons would have made even Ghandi smile, if he had the energy.

50 cent has ironically been made chairman of the US federal reserve.

Which is like making Eminem the head of a chocolate sweety company or Dr Dre head of the Medical Authorities, or Ice T head of Liptons Beveridges limited or Snoop Doggy Dog head of Hanna and Barbera...

Anyhoo, Fiddy has since started issuing coins and bills with his name and face on it, which has caused the average American a lot of confusion. Is everything worth fifty cent now? When asked this question Fiddy said "Mo' money, mo' problems, so yes."

What this blog is about

This blog is setup as a place to express writing that has a shelf life. For example, last month was Rememberance Day:

This year the poppy appeal started in Iraq 'our' second farthest war zone.

What about Afghanistan, 'our' farthest war zone? It wasn't forgotten, they're doing pretty damn well with their own poppy appeal.

Just off for a Barclays

The Killers have a new album out. Not heard it yet, but I liked the last two. Main stream stuff, though it's 'cause they're good.

I've heard the first single 'Human' from the latest LP. Simple but effective. I wonder if it's too late to change the lyrics:

Are we human?
Or are we banker?
My sign is vital
My hands are cold
And I'm on my knees
Looking for the answer
Are we human?
Or are we banker?

Will your system be alright
When you dream of home tonight?
There is no message we're receiving
Let me know is your heart still beating

Are we human?
Or are we banker?
My sign is vital
My hands are cold
And I'm on my knees
Looking for the answer
Are we human?
Or are we just a bunch of bankers?

Far more appropriate given the financial climate.

Bumps a Daisy

According to the BBC News a man in Cumbria has been accused of killing his wife, by running over her with a tractor.

Presumably he was left a 'Dear John' letter, and he then decided to run over her with his John Deere.
