What do we have here??

Debt in one hand and bullshit in the other.

PS….since we never got a Friday night music thread.

May I humbly present Mr. Skip James.

Re Morales, yes. However, the lowlands separatists are really, really bad people. Regarding Duayer, in over his head, but the guys he was with- former mercs from the Balkans wars. Here is something to ponder, why would someone posting on a storm front bulletin (white supremacist site) know about Duayer and what is the link to a private bodyguards company (which operates in Ireland and Croatia)? I don’t know anything about the kid other than what was on a bloggers site and in the news sites out of Ireland. The stuff out of Bolivia in Spanish is challenging, so to speak. But what went down, it is a very big deal. The armed opposition is being routed. As for the Irish Minister, he’s already been told what he is going to find out (IMHO). In the report below they leave out that he went to the US before arriving in Bolivia.

From an Irish report: http://www.irishtimes.com/newspaper/breaking/2009/0420/breaking22.htm

“The Irishman graduated from Galway-Mayo Institute of Technology last summer. He had worked as a security guard for a Galway firm while in college and began working for them full-time after graduation. He went to Bolivia on a three-month training course last November.

It appears he met Mr Flores in January and was offered work by him. Mr Dwyer’s family are said to be keen to find out the nature of Mr Flores’s firm’s work and what Mr Dwyer knew about it. A family spokesman said they had many unanswered questions.

Mr Flores was a journalist born in Bolivia with Croatian nationality who had fought in the Balkan wars.

Zoltan Brady, editor of a magazine for which Mr Flores wrote in Hungary, said he had gone to Bolivia last spring “to fight against its communist government” and for the independence of the province of Santa Cruz. He dismissed suggestions Mr Flores was a hired assassin.”

Given that I think the chart is fairly meaningless as a historical comparison I can’t blame the creators too much. There isn’t exactly a way to normalize earnings for a credit bubble, commodity bubble, and housing bubble all occuring in close proximity.

I think the jury is still out on Morales. I think it’s very unlikely Dwyer was an assassin. We’ll have to see what the Irish minister can find out I guess.
