Senior Statistician

--------------------------------------------

"Bureau of Labor and Statistics is looking for a degreed statistician who can use their creativity to
manipulate inputs so the desired results are obtained. Anticipate long hours in the next few months to
hide the hyperinflationary effects of the Federal Reserve and the US Government. The current
inflation indexes have been geared to hide inflation via the Asian Labor arbitrage. With the imminent
dollar devaluation, we expect a complete overhaul of the indexes will be necessary. Applicant must be
willing to not use common sense, ignore historical trends, and have questionable morals.

Experience with manipulating derivative valuations a plus. Work experience with ERON,
Arthur Andersen, Fannie Mae, or Freddie Mac highly desirable.

For the right candidate, the pay will be lots of newly created Federal Reserve Notes, with substantial
bonus potential based on ability to manipulate the CPI. Position available immediately.

Qualified candidates should send their resume to wegonna.weimar@BLS.gov

Disclaimer: Please do not take the above help wanted add seriously.

Well, clearly we both agree that this kind of bogus statistical reporting has the potential of blowing up the housing and credit bubble if we get a big bond rate spike, especially with clear indications of a consumer slowdown, at least in the low end.

Seems like the high enders are partying on though, a tale of two Americas.
