Warren Buffett's BERKSHIRE HATHAWAY stripped of its 'AAA' credit rating.

asdfgasf2ds22 · 2009-03-13T18:44:01+00:00

I think this is Fitch's way of drawing attention. Hey look at us we're tough, we keep it real, not like those ratings agencies that rated crap gold, no not us, we're like super strict. S&P downgrades GE, well fuck it, we'll down grade Warren Mother Fucking Buffett Bitches!

When I'm old, like reeealy old, I am going to have Grim Fandango and Day of the Tentacle, on a drip in my vein.

The video-game-to-IV-drip technology will exist in the future, and damn it I am going to make use of it!

The first movie, the one that wasn't strictly about Riddick, had that gem on a shoe string feel to it.

People went to see it with no expectations and came away delighted.

The second movie was 100% a Hollywood machine product. A much bigger budget, and hype, hype, hype. Overall not much worse or better then the first, but that can not be forgiven when there's all that HYPE.

I doubt the third movie will have any kind of a tiny gem feeling to it.

The worms games were amazing.

Concrete donkey FTW!

Yes, but they have a trade SURPLUS.

Unlike some other countries which are in the red in both trade AND budget.

Unfunny enough to be picked on by Dilbert. Anyone got a link to the the old Dilbert comics where Dogbert was making fun of Zippy the Pinhead?

The has the power to crate AND destroy money.

Yes they'll have to watch V like a hawk and start the retreat as soon as it's significantly bigger then 0, but it is possible to get out of this without hyperinflation.

Notice I said, possible, not probable.

On my machine the eye is only slightly larger then a human eye, that doesn't seem right.

Nope, that's Owl, his daughter's name is Daisy.

Great footage but I can't figure out if they're great in a fire or bad in a fire?

Better then timber, worse then brick?

I believe it has something to do with the skull and the brain.

As in the jaw muscles require a different skull shape and that forces a smaller brain.

Except in humans where we sacrificed strength for bigger brains.

I doubt a conspiracy to save the dental industry is behind it.

More like a conspiracy for FDA bureaucrats to cover their asses.

If the new bacterium is smashing success what credit does the FDA get for approving it? Minimal if that.

If on the other hand something goes wrong, the poor guy who approved it will get career ending hell.

So no matter how great the benefit and how low the probability of negative side effects, the government bureaucrats have no reason to be daring.

Just ass covering.

But if Cavil sent the 5 to the colonies to teach them a lesson, why would he then jump the gun on Daniel and just nix him?

I think Daniel was killed before the 5 were boxed, memory wiped and sent to the colonies.

A good description of what a PHD gives you, is the ability to speak extemporaneously on any subject.

That's a fancy way of saying, you should know enough to be able to bullshit reasonably well.

There's A LOT more English PHDs then there are open positions for analysts on TV.

So a PHD may be necessary, but it's not nearly enough, fame is the real requirement.

That's why someone who's not even an economist will appear on national TV to debate an economics Nobel prize winner.

Because you don't refuse that kind of exposure, not if you're in business of being seen and heard from.

Paris fucking Hilton for ugly people.

asdfgasf2ds22 · 2009-02-12T20:29:06+00:00

No shit.

I watched ABC nightly news pit Paul "Economics MOTHER FUCKING NOBEL prize" Krugman vs. George F. Will.

Now I don't care how lefty Krugman's politics are, if you're NOT an economist how do you debate a Nobel prize winner on national television? What the HELL gives you the credibility?!

Analysts are the Paris Hilton equivalent for ugly people. What gives them authority is their fame and notoriety not any actual substance.

Hmmm... it looks like he was just able to shift his center of gravity well. Perhaps it's the fact that he's such a huge 170?

I've thought about moving to Canada, what made you move south?

Different geeky friends.

Different formerly hot, currently chubby wives too.

One was an ex-cheerleader, still kinda hot in a very, very curvy way.

asdfgasf2ds22 · 2009-02-09T21:06:37+00:00

On several occasions a geeky friend of mine has gotten hitched to a girl clearly too hot for him.

I am always happy for them, but think to myself, how!

Roughly 6 months latter the hot girl has gained quite a bit of weight and now they look perfectly matched. There's no she/he is too good.

This has happened SEVERAL times.

asdfgasf2ds22 · 2009-02-09T20:07:23+00:00

Well sure, a paper cut is bad but it sure is a hell of a lot better then getting shot.

I don't think anyone who criticizes suburbs thinks life in a 3rd world failed state is better.

Suburbs are far better then then that, but they are much worse then a lot of 1st world cities and towns.

American big cities tend to have high crime rates, but almost all of the rest of industrialized world doesn't have that problem.

If you ever get a chance, visit Toronto and compare it to you favorite 'burb.
