I've got about 8 million half-finished posts. All of sudden I thought it might be time for something a bit calmer, instead. Lake picture courtesy of one of my imaginary, invisible, internet friends.

The ratings agencies are paid shills, near as I can tell.
But for whatever it's worth, I'D downgrade the US if I was a rating agency.
Not because they can't pay. Rather because they can no longer govern themselves in a manner appropriate to the worlds largest economy. You want a safe investment? Here's a suggestion: Stay the hell away from sovereign debt issued by certifiably crazy madmen.
That doesn't seem to be a terribly challenging assessment....
Are you suggesting that the internet is populated by holograms?
I thought holograms only existed in the real world, things like S&P, a subsidiary of a giant corporation that does jello shots off the sparkly belly of a hooker with other giant corporations why it's almost as if the brouhaha is one big scam, or possibly scamola.

I will CROSS DRESS YOUR COMMENTS. how do you like them apples?
Bonds had a huge rally this week in response to the drop in the stock market.
I suspect the rating change isn't going to matter much. The U.S. has decided that austerity is the answer to 9% unemployment.
Our press has been pushing for this since January of 2009. It's beyond pathetic.

if only I had trademarked "Austerity" back in 2007 it wouldn't matter if I couldn't get a new job.
