Llama Weiss: I trust you will pardon my absences from time to time, but this damn business of mine keeps getting in the way of my spewing forth into this electronic maze. As to Mayor Barry, well every city has its source of pride and he is firmly in place as DC's answer to the Eiffel Tower. Those of us who have been trapped in the DC area for some time, have long recognized that the DC local government is the only Federaly funded humor program the nation has developed. I suggest you see it as nothing more than that. He's entertainment and unfortunately, those of you in the pale and beyond don't get to see the daily antics of his staff on the nightly news. Hollywood could never write material of such quality. Now then, I urge you to get your hands on the 15.July issue of Forbes and read the column by Kennth Fisher. Now this is fertile ground for a GOOFI researcher. I believe his thinking is on the money. When I first started posting on investment chat pages, I made the observation that certain commodity prices fluctuated in direct correlation with where our dog (Ziggy Stardust) positioned himself in our yard each day. He's a black Chow, deeply introspective and undoubtedly spiritually connected....I call him the Zen-Master. At any rate, I'm certain that I'm onto something here, just having trouble connecting his location with exactly which commodity he was attepting to "discuss" with me. When I made this observation elsewhere, nobody ever talked to me again. Boy, it sure is good to know that I've found a home here! Happy 4TH.. Go get the Forbes, I'd like to hear your thoughts....HEY, Ziggy just moved to the precious metals area of the yard....time for a chat! |
