Obama? Romney? No, go ahead and pop the cap

I'm not too familiar with Marc Faber's work. He bills himself as an expert on the markets and the economy, or both. Today he addresses the question of whether Tweedle-Dum (D) or Tweedle-Dee (R) would best aid the American economy.


...says Faber, the Thailand-based author of the Gloom, Boom & Doom Report, if you put a gun to his head and told him to pick a candidate to vote for, he'd say, "shoot." 

He likes gold, by the way, but the report doesn't specify whether as a personal investment or a monetary standard. Could be both. Or he could be just another copper boor. (kof kof).

Nigerian Lesson

Some will find this insensitive. So be it.

In Nigeria, a gunman has just shot and killed 19 persons in a church. For reference, that is one more human life lost than in Colorado and Wisconsin combined.

Nigeria has very strict gun control laws.

Sikh shootings

While the cops and the media sort out the details, I am hoping:

(1) -- That this isn't the work of some sick Cletus who thinks Sikhs are Muslims.

(2) -- CNN fires the  so-called reporter who asked a hospital emergency room spokesperson: "What's the staff vibe?"

Synchronized diving would be the perfect sporting event  if combined  with trapshooting doubles.
