NY Mag Photo Illustration of Madoff
I think I figured why Madoff kept doing what he was doing.¬† At first I thought he was basically a good guy who got in way too deep and then couldn’t find a way out.¬† But in reality, he’s a narcissist who wanted everyone to see him as the hero.¬† He liked and needed to be able to give people their dreams back to them with no bad news ever.¬† It sounds backwards but that’s the only real reason I can come up with.

BoingBoing brings us yet more bad news about the US dollar, yeehaw!
Ruben says: “This is a summary of a documentary that aired recently on Dutch national television. The documentary was based on a script made by an economist who was assigned the task to make a ‘what if’ scenario about how the dollar could crash within 24 hours.”
Americans are living beyond their means and Asia is currently financing that. But eventually the Asians/Europeans will stop financing the USA and then the bubble will burst.
That up there is a blockquote within a blockquote.¬† I’m not going to reword BoingBoing, my favorite website ever.¬† So I’ll use their quote and their quoting of another quote.¬† Either way, picture looks bleak, non?¬† We’ve all worked for those bad business owners or bad managers where you just know that if you opened any closet door at the office piles of shit would fly out.¬† It’s frightening to think of how mismanaged our government has been in the last four years, okay, eight years.¬† Alright, 16 years.¬† Alright, fifty goddamned years.¬† We didn’t get here overnight.¬† We’re spending money we don’t have and the Euros are going to swallow us.
That’s just great.¬† Is it time to jump like rats from the sinking ship and move?
