A real SOB as opposed to an ordinary SOB.

The real SOB is the Brazilian description for the guy: He sees someone making a mess of something, everyone is clapping the hands for him. He joins the hand clapping. Pissing himself in his pants of laughing.

The ordinary SOB, like Elmat. Keep say: Why the heck are those guys clapping the hands for this guy who is making a mess of these proportions?

Greenspan is the typical case: You know he is driving the US economy to the ground. We know he can't back up. We know he likes to be seen a demy-God. We know that he doesn't want to go out in shame as the one who caused a big economic mess.

He stays on praying that everything reasserts by itself, then he stands up and say: "You see? We have kept our cool didn't take any unnecessary measures as others were asking and the economy is growing again."

But me - as an ordinary SOB- know that isn't going to happen.
