Fuck It. Just Yodel.

So, here is an old Japanese guy who yodels. He doesn’t care that half of his nation washed out to sea and the other half currently has a soft green radioactive glow. He yodels. With chickens.

Next time I find myself being not able to cope with life’s bullshit, I’m gonna just go out and get me some chickens and start yodeling. Hell, it can’t be any worse…

Thurs Night Trash Talk

Crapitals* are playing a HUGE game tonight against the Flyers.

Remember Craps, the fans are fair game tonight too…Look another Philly “Albino Goomba” has a case of incoherent uneducated verbal diarrhea. Must have eaten another one of those ecol-i laden Cheese steaks…

Chick even steals a big piece of the broken glass! WTF? She gonna cut somebody with that? See you on the sidewalk bitch.

Oh look, here is another grade A goomba trying to take on Domi! DOMI! Guess this guy did not watch or heed Bubble’s warning about Domi…

But wait…it was Domi’s fault! Flyers fans are entitled to act like assholes! They should be able to hurl insults at the other professional players…Or that was the excuse one Philly Flyers fan had to use in front of the judge for his son’s assault charge on another hockey player and even posted this comment: “My son thought it would be okay to attack C. Pronger at a recent Wild game, all because? of Domi’s actions! Thanks Tie, because of you, I had to explain to the judge how it was all your fault for corrupting Andrew! Jerk!”

But never fear Flyers fans…while you are at the game tonight whether you win or lose, these folks will be taking care of your homes and property…

*my team will prob lose, so let me at least have one trash talk post.

Inside Job

I just finished watching Inside Job, a documentary about what caused the financial crisis of 2008.

I first learned about Mortgage Backed Securities when I developed a course for Fannie Mae in the 1990’s.  And then came across the concept again when I developed training for the FDIC just prior to 2000.  What has always struck me as odd is the inability of subject matter experts to clearly describe what Mortgage Backed Securities are and how derivatives work.  It begs the question…

If these regulators didn’t understand them, how could they possibly be regulating them?

What I really don’t understand is why the executives that allowed this to happen have not been prosecuted.  At the very least, why haven’t their assets been seized?

Why do Angelo Mozilo and Richard Fuld get to keep their ill-gotten gains?

This says it all…
