It turns out I didn't have to show up to court today, but my next court date is the 26th of May. So I have time to hire a kickass attorney. Barney Fife could represent me, though, and I'd still win. EDIT: Noonsun, I think Ron Paul is an example of the kind of politicians the founders of this nation thought the halls of Congress would be filled with. Unfortunately I think the founders were naive, and I think Ron Paul is naive. But that's okay, as long as he's around I'll keep supporting him. Being able to see what the Federal Reserve's innards look like would be pretty cool. ;)

Why the hell is marijuana illegal? Anyone with a brain knows that alcohol absolutely ravages your body and turns you into a belligerent, emotional lunatic, while pot just makes you veg out and get hungry. This is why nobody takes cops or the laws seriously. They are so blatantly arbitrary.

Heh, I'm sure Federer could use an audit, considering he's Swiss and he makes most of his income abroad! Here's a great South Park episode on the economy: http://www.southparkstudios.com/episodes/220760/

That girl needs to have her fallopian tubes tied. And so does Octomom.

Well they have offices in the US, I'm looking at the Raleigh, NC opportunities. Canada's banks actually stood up better than our banks because they didn't make so many stupid loans. Most Canadians chalk that up to "better" regulation, but there are a number of reasons why.

I'm up for it if you are. But right now I'm preparing for an interview with the Royal Bank of Canada... Even though I'm in that 3X Bear mkt ETF my entire portfolio is down only 2% today. My energy holdings are keeping me propped up... but I'm not sure how much longer they can hold off the hoards of retarded investors! :laugh3:

File this under photos that make you go "WTF". Day 4: The bears are getting stronger. More intelligent. Almost out of ammo. I must make it back to camp before sundown.

I knew that kid was shooting blanks! There was no way.

Uhhh... expanding the powers of the Federal Reserve? Wow, I didn't know they could get any more powerful. The whole idea of "systemic risk" is ridiculous when you think about it. There is only localized risk. CDS risk is the result of daisy-chaining together dozens of insurance contracts until you're leveraged 100x on the chance somebody might go bankrupt. Anybody who does that deserves what's coming to them. Besides, this kind of leverage wouldn't be possible with higher interest rates (thanks Ben). Oh fantastic, now I really want to start a hedge fund in America. I can't wait to share all my trading strategies with my competitors. Nick, get ready for another testing of the bottom! Or even a new bottom... wasn't there a character in a Shakespeare play named Bottom? He was a donkey or something, a Midsummer Night's Dream. These strawberries are delicious. Stream of consciousness...

Anger inspires me to act. Typically I'm a pretty laid back (read: lazy) and chill guy. But if I sense injustice, I'll try my best to do something about it!

Japanese midget circus porn? Guilty as charged.

I love that scene! :P Well I suppose I'll change. I found this brilliant little number at Chanel last week, and I've been dying to show off my legs in it.

This damned stock market won't cooperate with my trades! *whipcrack* GO DOWN. :laugh3: At least Nouriel Roubini thinks the market has gotten ahead of itself: http://www.bloomberg.com/apps/news?pid=20601087&sid=aCvWs8KIIsUo&refer=worldwide

Jamie, you're wearing the exact same outfit I'll be wearing to court tomorrow! What a coincidence!

If I was going to hire someone, I wouldn't care about eye contact as much as their experience and tenacity. CNBC (and people obsessed with business) tends to overthink everything. Look up "six sigma" for a perfect example of overthinking a simple subject like management.

Sometimes I forget to wear pants, or they just come undone. (Check out the Sexy Fit Men thread for an explanation).

Government is best which governs... not at all.

I agree, it's remarkable to think about how easy it is to convince people that a war is just. I guess it works on the same principle as taxation. "Well everybody's doing it, and if I don't do it then I'll go to jail. So yeah, here's half of my paycheck!" Government = Groupthink.

I'll keep my leg hair, thanks.

I remember I downloaded a leaked copy of the St. Pepper's album back before the release... this was when I was living in the Soviet Union, too. Internet was hard to come by there.

Did you see the Beatles concert in Australia where Ringo ran out into the crowd? Epic.

Yeah I've been gaining some weight lately. I eat like a whale... It's horrible. Just Oprah and bon bons, that's my life.

Here's a picture of me after my afternoon jog today. I happened to have a tripod and camera on me at the time.
