Stimulation Anyone ?


Stimulation is on our minds everybody. Stimulate new jobs, stimulate the economy, and stimulate the need not to surrender to whimsical cravings. Stimulate, stimulate, stimulate is the mantra. So much stimulation I need to lie down and digest $800 Billion bucks.

That’s a loada money peeps. And the printing presses are going to need plenty of stimulation to print that lot. Now printing money has its draw backs, inflation comes to mind, but no one cares a hoot about that at the moment.

No something Eco unfriendly and mankind’s biggest investment is at stake. What happens when we run out of paper and ink? (Coins won’t matter because inflation will eventually take care of that)

My concern is that there will be no more trees left to print paper, build houses and oxygen to breathe. Maybe that’s the idea, a slow decline of civilization by an avalanche of paper.
Meanwhile as a person who lives in a Tree house this brings a whole new meaning to the word foreclosure.

There is much stimulus chatter about part time work, the idea being; better to have a job with less money than have no job at all. In Europe they call this the three day week. Everybody gazed their eyes across the pond to France who have been on a three day week since Bastille Day. It is European law to have four weeks paid vacant/holiday, but now that America is a Socialist State perhaps we now can qualify?!

And lastly, a stimulus idea from the great dispenser of brilliant thinking, Rush Limbaugh; I would cut taxes and watch the stock market go crazy. Crazy being the operative word here.
As a Congressman from Florida, Alan Grayson rightly pointed out, Limbaugh actually was more lucid when he was a drug addict. If America ever did 1% of what he wanted us to do, then we'd all need pain killers."
This also could be said for listening to The Grateful Dead. No amount of stimulus could bring us unified joy.

Royal Ass


We might share the same name and country but thank goodness nothing else. Following on blindly in his grandfathers footsteps, Prince Harry has yet again made a Royal Ass of himself.

Previous endeavors of bad taste have not held much sway with Officer Harry. It was a couple of years ago Harry turned up at a party in a Nazi uniform, only to have his pugnacious face splashed on every front page ink will allow.

Now, revealed as the nearest thing to a Royal sex tape, is video footage of officer Harry unleashing disparaging remarks about his own men. This recent incident exposes Harry using a racial slur towards a fellow Pakistani officer and making unflattering references to Arab headwear.


While it would be naive of me to think this behavior doesn’t exist. The example set by possibly (If William dies or becomes a Scientologist) a future King and commander of the British armed forces doesn’t look to promising.

Indeed the British taxpayer, who pays for these privileged souls to have the best education possible might think twice about the benefits Royalty has to offer them. Given the current economic collapse their actual worth must be considered a financial liability.

If you remember last summer, Officer Harry was keen to display his call to duty by demanding he fought on the front line in Afghanistan. Commendable perhaps, but a good PR stunt all the same. While on the front line he was protected by a brigade of Gurkhas who are warrior like and are fiercely loyal.

The Gurkhas hail from Nepal and last time I looked they have similar skin tone to Pakistanis. They might feel underappreciated considering they were risking their lives for him.


Historically, the Royal Family doesn’t have a good track record when it comes to bigotry and gaffes. Namely Prince Phillip who down the years has made racial slurs against the Chinese and the Queen Mother was a notorious bigot.

In today’s multicultural Britain (if its subjects want a Monarch) it needs to have a worthy modern Monarchy that accepts the variety and diverse cultures that now make up Great Britain. Officer Harry’s remarks leave a nasty stain that exhibit the changing of the old guard has some way to go.

It's a Madoff Madoff World




Breaking news... disgraced swindler Bernard Madoff has put his jewelry to good use, and bribed a TSA (Transport Security Administration) Hip Hop wannabe to let him board a plane bound for Egypt. It is there, reportedly he was smuggled through the only remaining tunnel into the Gaza Strip.
Images released today reveal a buoyant Madoff, wearing a fetching pair of olive green fatigues and supporting his trademark smirk.

He was later seen on top of a Nissan Truck brandishing a RPG (rocket propelled grenade) aimed at Tel Aviv. In a speech carried live over Fox news, he declared he could provide annual returns to the Palestine people of Falafel and Baba Ghanoush and he would not take a fee.

He went on to say that he had plans to develop Gaza into a new Palm Springs, and that Kevin Bacon would become its Mayor.

As word spread throughout the Strip, the sounds of tank fire and gunships melted away. The IDF (Israeli Defense Force) and reservists had put down their weapons in protest due to fact that their student loans and stipend for Hashish had evaporated under the leadership of Madoff Securities International.

Back in New York, Joan Rivers was gracious enough to cancel her twentieth face lift to report from the Anti - Defamation league headquarters, where its leader Abraham Foxman had this to say.
“Not content with fleecing his own people, he now present himself savior of Palestine, it’s enough to wake Ariel Sharon from his coma… “
