We will once again shy away from memes and “virality” in our discussion of … Read More
A practical discussion and hints on reducing the cost of living. With more people working at home, the kids being home and all that, it’s harder to do.

We will be posting in two parts this morning – this being the first. Housing will be out from Case-Shiller/S&P/CoreLogic (and whoever else has a hand in it) in a few minutes.

The British market was about flat when we looked earlier. But the French and German markets were screaming ahead – up well over one percent. These print-crazed Globalists could tech Zimbabwe a thing or two, right? It may be Memorial Day here, but in other parts of the financial universe, it’as business and usual. … Read More

Runaway insanity is afoot on this planet. If there are higher beings, let’s consider what they’re being entertained with on “The Earth Channel” right now. Since, we all know that “life as we know it HERE” is merely one of thousands of “Reality Shows” in the intergalactic ethereal Realms… If it wasn’t so, Star Trek wouldn’t … Read More
