Bruce,

I didn't realize the Manning problem was so serious. That would be awful if he couldn't play again, horrible way for a player like him to end his career.

This guy is really an asshole... No wait... He's a 'clueless asshole'...

But some of y'all held such a good finger on the pulse of Americana, you went ahead and voted for him...

I wouldn't trust any of YOU types with my friggin grocery list...

He doesn't seem to understand the 'bread and circuses' aspect to football...

Thank god we humans have the Fuzzmaster2000 to filter 'the truth' for us...

"You Humans have a hard time understanding the longer arcs of time beyond the next 5 minutes. Thinking about the next 5 quarters or 5 years is very much a learned skill. The challenge is to be able to step back from the here and now, and conceptualize the present within the bigger picture of the longer term."

Stocks surge after Germany upholds bailout plan

Peeps... As I've been saying for over a year now... They're gonna PRINT - PRINT -PRINT...

Then when you think the printing just can't go on any more... They're gonna PRINT some more...

How it effects STOCKS... I don't know or care... All I know is that in the end, the redeemable value of those stocks will be paper that, despite the electronic movements that supposedly tell you how rich you are by owning those redeemed pieces of paper... are, in fact, worth NOTHING...

I'm pretty sure some government will be along to tell you how much taxes you owe on any success you had in the process of trading those pieces of paper...

So I guess you have that going for you...

Good Luck...

Me - I'm a simple guy... I'm just ready for some PRE-EMPTED football...

Listening to Ritholtz these days is worse than listening to Krugman...

The 'autopicked' fantasy team I have with you guys needs major repairs...

I'm gonna need to pull some miracles to make to the postseason...

I think I'm going to chronicle it (because I deserve the 'Bill Parcells' award if I manage to pull this one off)...

In this Trilogoy that my daughter and wife read..."The Hunger Games"... [I've also just finished them]... the name of the 'country' is Panem. It's Latin for "bread"....in the last book they actually brought up the concept of "bread and circuses."

This trilogy is about a dystopian future U.S.A. where the "Capital" controls 12 distinct districts that do not interact with each other.

Each year, the "Capital" 'reaps' a teenage boy and girl from each district for the Hunger Games. The 24 kids are thrown into an arena where they 'fight to the death.' The entire event is televised to everyone in the capital and the rest of the country.

The author of book brought home the point that the people of the capital were 'content' so long as they had food and entertainment (the annual Hunger Games).

It really is a pretty dark set of books for teenage kids to be reading today....but I'm glad my daughter read them.

Using power, this guy creates a contraption that sucks the humidity out of the air and turns into drinking water...55 gallons every two days.

"Listening to Ritholtz these days is worse than listening to Krugman..."

I'm not sure. I don't read Ritzcracker anymore, but I do catch Krugman editorials (which, oddly, seem to cross the NI ECO section on my terminal every day despite having NO ECONOMIC QUALITY). Recently, I fought my way through an "I was right and everyone else was wrong" piece Krugman wrote. He was shameless and I was sick to my stomach.

I'm seriously thinking about switching to TOP and reading about the Kardashians all day. It would be a serious upgrade from Krugman.

For fun... I like to put a humidifier & de-humidifier in a room together & let them battle it out...

But, um... the PLANTS don't like it very much...

JK- on that first part... But NOT really kidding on the 2ndf part...

Plants, trees, & most vegetation have adapted pretty well to being able to pull humidity out of the atmosphere to survive (witness that you don't go around nature and see a lot of trees & plants with 'cupholders' & 'sippy cups' handy on their hoverrounds)...

So basically, MY VERSION of getting 'bullish' on the human race will come when man STOPS trying to invent devices that alter the delicate balance of nature (which the race always does in harmful & wasteful ways that lead to destruction), & instead learns to NOT overconsume, and to live in balance...

But that's just me...

Or more importantly... Do you suppose if I bought one of those machines and then moved close to a BREWERY, it could suck 55 gallons of beer through a straw & straight to a refrigerated holding tank at the side of my couch???

I once had a girlfriend who... (well - that's another story)...

ARE YOU READY FOR SOME FOOTBALL?
