Frankel snarled. "Those BLS increases are all that’s keeping the mob in check! They supported the wars to support their standard of living, and if we don’t—"</i></div><br />No worries! That quote comes from a book of science fiction. All governments appearing in this work are fictitious. I'm sure that any resemblance to real governments is purely coincidental.<br /><br />Check out the last three data points at the trough of the long-term channel.<br /><br />2000:Q1: Good times!<br />2007:Q2: Better times!<br />2013:Q2: Best times!<br /><br />Other than 2000 and 2007, perhaps there has never been a better time to swing for the fences? The stock market only goes up again! What could possibly go wrong? It is possible that the 2013:Q2 data point isn't the actual bottom. I can say this though. First, we bounced off of it. Second, if I exclude the 2013:Q2 data point (which I have tested) then the channel changes insignificantly. Put another way, that's where the channel seems to want to go anyway.<br /><br />This is not investment advice. It's a chart, some <a href="http://news-these-days.blogspot.com/2007/09/trend-line-disclaimer-time.html">possibly meaningless trend lines</a>, and a potential warning. No crystal ball here. I'm just trying to point out a risk that you won't hear on CNBC. That said, it is a risk that I'm not willing to embrace. I've been "risk off" since 2004 and intend to stay that way permanently. In hindsight, I have no complaints so far.<br /><br />On Basilisk Station is a favorite book of mine. It is <a href="http://amzn.com/B00ARPJBS0">free to download</a> on the Kindle. The second book, Honor of the Queen, is also <a href="http://amzn.com/B00BBI9WD6">free to download</a>. I received a <a href="http://amzn.com/B007HCCNJU">Kindle</a> for Christmas. I have no idea how I ever lived without it (especially now that my comfortable reading distance isn't what it once was). The Kindle is one reason I have been posting a bit less lately. (Another reason is that I'm also working very diligently on my <a href="http://news-these-days.blogspot.com/2013/12/new-years-resolutions-for-2014.html">New Year's resolution</a>.)<br /><br />I know what you must be thinking. Free is fine and dandy but how much is it going to cost to download a complete collection of H.P. Lovecraft (my favorite author)? <a href="http://amzn.com/B00D4CBA50">99 cents.</a> Infinitely more expensive! Right? Just keep telling yourself that the cost per word isn't all that <a href="http://news-these-days.blogspot.com/2011/12/hyperinflation-theories-poned-again.html">hyperinflationary</a>. That's how I'm planning to do it once I get over the sticker shock anyway. Don't forget to factor in the savings from not driving to the mall to pick it up. That helps too (perhaps not so much for mall employees, but that's a story for a different post).<br /><br />What an odd economy we have. I've often said that <a href="http://news-these-days.blogspot.com/2012/09/weve-hit-poo-poo-point-again.html">the best things in life are free or nearly free</a> (once basic necessities are covered anyway). Free and/or 99 cents certainly qualifies.<br /><br /><b>Source Data:</b><br /><a href="http://research.stlouisfed.org/fred2/graph/?g=qNx">St. Louis Fed: Custom Chart</a>

Poor dietary habits and             improper digestion prevalent in             western society are major             contributors to gas and bloating.             Some estimates report that people             with poor diets may expel gas 14 or             more times daily. Fortunately, some             sensible dietary changes and natural             remedies can prevent future bouts of             gas and bloating as well as relieve             current episodes.<br /><br />One good way to avoid gas and             bloating is to avoid foods that are             known to cause gas and indigestion,             such as fried foods, spicy foods,             processed foods and refined sugar.             Other foods which may lead to gas             and bloating include most beans,             cabbage, Brussels sprouts,             cauliflower, broccoli, onions,             apples, corn, oats, potatoes, most             dairy products, pears, prunes, and             peaches.'</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: large;"><b>Read <a href="http://www.tbyil.com/Gas_Bloating_Remedies.htm">more... </a></b></span>

Obama Administration Issues New School Disciplin Guidlines, Claim Zero Tolerance Policies May Be Discriminatory

Yes, kids these days have it rough man. It seems that there is a good chance that if you get in trouble at school these days it is racially motivated or discrimination against special needs kids according to some studies that I assume were carried out in the strictest scientific methods known to man.<br /><br />Ahem.<br /><br /><br /><br /><blockquote><a href="http://news.yahoo.com/school-discipline-us-guidelines-shift-away-zero-tolerance-234000930.html"><b>School discipline: New US guidelines shift away from zero-tolerance policies.</b></a><br /></blockquote><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgDeZdrKRNWC8fIusQjfXPjPYgLgk2heMJ3wuoEkOTL5cMooML9TlS_4_fXi7_krfIsWd1qXpjG-nmStGiEJ_BdUzTsJwU5KWAB62FW4D5crbb7mvQP8l_hMjEl_XXn0bYLhFOsH7fwmwdA/s1600/csm_logo_115.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgDeZdrKRNWC8fIusQjfXPjPYgLgk2heMJ3wuoEkOTL5cMooML9TlS_4_fXi7_krfIsWd1qXpjG-nmStGiEJ_BdUzTsJwU5KWAB62FW4D5crbb7mvQP8l_hMjEl_XXn0bYLhFOsH7fwmwdA/s200/csm_logo_115.jpg" /></a></div>By Amanda Paulson January 8, 2014 6:40 PM<br /><br /><blockquote>The school discipline guidelines are a response to a growing body of statistics showing both the costs of harsh disciplinary policies and the frequent inequities in how they’re applied.</blockquote><blockquote>Tough school discipline codes like zero-tolerance policies and mandatory suspensions for even minor infractions may have significant costs and glaring inequities.<br /><br />That was a major message behind new guidelines issued Wednesday by the Obama administration, calling on schools to seek alternatives to harsh penalties like expulsions and suspensions that rob students of classroom time and <i>may be racially biased</i>.<br /><br />The guidelines emphasize the need for a positive school climate and supports, clear and appropriate expectations and consequences, and equity in discipline policies. They're a response to a growing body of statistics showing both the costs of harsh disciplinary policies and the frequent inequities in how they’re applied, <i>particularly to black and special-education students</i>.</blockquote>snip<br /><br /><br />Secretary Duncan emphasized the harsh costs of the overuse of suspensions and expulsions, including students left unsupervised and the loss of needed interventions, mentorship, and classroom time.<br /><br />In his letter,Duncan cited <i> statistics</i> showing both wide use of suspensions and expulsions and inequity in how such punishments are meted out. <i>African-American students without disabilities are over three times more likely than their white peers to receive suspensions or expulsions, for instance. And special-education students, who make up 12 percent of the student population, make up 25 percent of the students receiving multiple out-of-school suspensions, 19 percent of students expelled, and 23 percent of students receiving a school-related arrest.</i><br /><br />My emphasis.<br /><a href="http://news.yahoo.com/school-discipline-us-guidelines-shift-away-zero-tolerance-234000930.html">Read the whole thing here</a> as there is quite a bit more to this article.<br /><br /><br />Yes, I cherry picked this article, it is a Yahoo article but if you notice the By Line above, it is actually written by The Christian Science Monitor.<br /><br />I kept seeing a variation of this one phrase over and over,<br />"a growing body of statistics", and people "citing statistics"<br /><br />What I did not see however, were any actual statistics other than the ones above and there were no citations associated with them.<br /><br />They must be pretty convincing though, enough so to cause the Obama administration to cook up some new "guidelines" to shove down everyone concerned's throat, without any funding of course.<br /><br />You can call me a racist motherfucker all damn day long and I could give a rats ass, because I do have big enough balls to ask this question;<br /><br /><i>Why was this not a big enough problem to address until the issue of discrimination was injected into the equation?<br /></i><br />Somebody answer that fucking question.<br /><br />I would love to hear that story.<br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br />

Ted <i>“I’m One of the Few Gay Men in Texas”</i> Cruz length press conference that I held yesterday and called me shortly afterward, to berate, belittle, and beseech me to be myself, and tell the truth.<br /><br />Well, thanks to the, “Come to Jesus” phone conversation we had…yeah, a phone call…I no longer like e-mails, y’know Ha!!…Matt-Man convinced me to come clean, and as he put it in lingo I can understand, said…<br /><br /><i>“You fucking pussy, Scots-Irish, self-proclaimed Sicilian badass, you…tell the truth and quit being such a fucking Mary.”</i><br /><br />He’s right, and today?<br /><br />I am here to tell you…I did indeed orchestrate this entire bridge closing thing, but not because I’m a bully, which I’m not; nor is it because I am a politician with high aspirations, which I am…<br /><br />It’s because I am at the very heart, soul, and core of my being, a speculative ironic comedian, and my ironic humor is lost on people.<br /><br />Hell, this entire humorous bridge closing caper that left Ft. Lee, NJ. an island unto itself, and left a soon to be dead woman…well dead, was thought of because my now unemployed Deputy Chief of Staff Bridget Kelly’s name is, BRIDGEt.<br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgBHMoIgrPcCqP-RSzRtGgN7b6UskNiLjTx6KmDYnvNEtyy86KK5oqpNV561Ujhn84cHQrZdbw3s3_Zv7aa691szGKGNMkyBONJUxnIuMaL5m-rNhemDLjbt_J4XkeR_IcsqFxvpfKEKRM0/s1600/Chris+Christie+Bridget+Kelly.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" height="253" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgBHMoIgrPcCqP-RSzRtGgN7b6UskNiLjTx6KmDYnvNEtyy86KK5oqpNV561Ujhn84cHQrZdbw3s3_Zv7aa691szGKGNMkyBONJUxnIuMaL5m-rNhemDLjbt_J4XkeR_IcsqFxvpfKEKRM0/s1600/Chris+Christie+Bridget+Kelly.jpg" width="400" /></a><br />Ha…Was that fact lost on you non-ironic picking up motherfuckers?  Holy Cow people, I even have a daughter named BRIDGEt for God Sakes, could we pay attention to my humor, please!?<br /><br />As for Ft. Lee Mayor Mark Sokolich? Don’t you people see the statement I was making with my bridge closing to Ft. Lee?<br /><br />Mayor Sokolich is of Serb-Croat descent and I was, for a short time, dividing up New Jersey into isolated and autonomous principalities, just like when Yugoslavia broke up.  I was ironically, and whimsically making the ungrateful bastard feel at home. And what do I get?<br /><br />Heartache and disrespect!!  I swear to God; if Rodney Dangerfield was a Governor, he’d be me.<br /><br />You know, people give me shit for being anti-gay marriage to an extent.  Do you not see the humor in that? Have you people seen my wife?  She’s a man, Baby!!<br /><br />Do you think that happens by accident?  Hell NO it doesn’t; I meticulously plan these ironic events and punch lines of life.<br /><br />I am sooooooo wayyyyyyy fucking ahead of the general population, humor wise!!<br /><br />Do you think I am fat because I’m just fat because of an uncontrollable urge for delicious, deep-fried food? Hell no…I worked on that as well, you know why?<br /><br />When some asshole state legislator approaches me and asks…<br /><br /><i>“Hey Governor Christie, shouldn't you like…um…work a salad into your diet?”</i><br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjzCrrMpn_tHNIRxSm4qNW97nALMiuh5yjWGQJddkivHKZ3zEEnKXgBvkKP77mBFFd2zZRb6OZBTYtObkn0btIrr8ffuaiJ0kUSciqOdodDKtj3xvctLedBTyX20-FNE4Of448MJxVn4Sd7/s1600/Chris+Christie+Asshole+Bully.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" height="288" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjzCrrMpn_tHNIRxSm4qNW97nALMiuh5yjWGQJddkivHKZ3zEEnKXgBvkKP77mBFFd2zZRb6OZBTYtObkn0btIrr8ffuaiJ0kUSciqOdodDKtj3xvctLedBTyX20-FNE4Of448MJxVn4Sd7/s1600/Chris+Christie+Asshole+Bully.jpg" width="400" /></a>I respond by saying…<br /><br /><i>“I would, but I have eaten so much of your wife’s pussy that I don‘t have room.”</i><br /><br />Ha!!<br /><br />See?  See?  I <i>am</i> dynamic, ironic, and funnier than fuck, and you guys?<br /><br />Well…you just don’t get it, and that hurts to some extent, but hey…<br /><br />I’ll live to joke another day, because, well…that’s what I live for…to make people smile, laugh, and who knows?<br /><br />Maybe instead of being elected President in 2016, I’ll get a late night comedy show called, <i>Bridge-It With Chris Christie.</i><br /><br />I’d like that, now…<br /><br /><i>Thanks, and go fuck yourselves.  Ha!!  I meant that ironically!!</i><br /><br /><i>Gov.

Let your   immune system weaken too much, and the door is opened to pathogens and   cancer. Let it strengthen too much, and the result can be systemic   inflammation, allergies and autoimmune disorders. Astragalus and Schisandra   function as balance beams to keep you perfectly centered on that tightrope.'</span></span></div><div align="left"><br /></div><div align="left"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Arial;">Read <a href="http://www.tbyil.com/Chinese_Herbs_for_Colds_and_Flu_Barbara_Minton.htm">more...</a> </span></span></div>
