Just Say No to Pirates . . . and Other Thoughts for the Day

1. Time to station a few U.S. warships off the coast of Somalia and put an end to the new era of piracy. This is ridiculous.

2. Iranians are kind of kooky. See below for a clip of a prominent Iranian college professor giving a lecture detailing his theory about the cartoon, Tom & Jerry, and how this cartoon is actually a Jewish conspiracy to control thought in Europe. See http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=40VFcJTIduw

3. Leading (Government Controlled) Egyptian newspaper called Sheik Nasrallah of Hezbollah, a "Dracula". Say what you will about the evil Nasrallah, but I find it hard to believe he drinks people's blood. On the other hand, you haven't seen him in daylight in a very long time so maybe the Egyptians are onto something.

4. France is back in NATO. I feel safer already . . .

5. The World is starting to look less bleak. The financial chirping class want us to believe the hurricane has passed over us. If you ask me (which you didn't, I know), this is the calm in the eye of the hurricane and not the end of the storm. We are going to get whacked by high inflation due to fact that Government printing presses have been working overtime to get more dollars on the street. High inflation brings all sorts of new problems.

6. Goldman Sachs wants to sell stock so they can pay back their TARP money . . . and resume paying themselves greedily (to paraphrase their fearless leader, Lloyd Blankfein). Or, was Blankfein only talking about "other" people being greedy by taking humongous bonuses? Surely, he earned $68 MILLION in 2007 and $43 MILLION last year. He was worth it. But other people . . . they're driven by greed.
