"Have you paid off that bet?"

Bill Maher reminds Art Laffer of the bet he made with Peter Schiff.

So cute together

Violet playing peek-a-boo with Ledge. He loves it.

Ledge Loves Violet

So cute! Violet was telling me the other day that she wanted a "pink" baby. That means a baby sister. I asked her if she wanted to take Ledge back and get the baby sister. She wailed, "Nooooooo!" She wants both of them.

Tavia and John, October 26

I LOVE YOU BOTH!

BLAST OFF!

The adjusted monetary base over the last eight weeks has risen at 341% per annum. This indicates panic at the Federal Reserve. The financial system is coming unglued.
The monetary base is high-powered money. For every dollar injected here, the money supply can rise by at least 10 to one.

Tavia's case against her landlord -- Update

Small Claims Court. Trial date is set for December 15 at 8:30 a.m. Tavia needs to arrange for the landlord to be served. (It would be my pleasure to do it, Tavia.) And that's the update. Will keep you posted.

Up, up and away

Remember the graph of the adjusted monetary base I posted at the end of September? It was at 950. The following graph is updated as of 10/16. (Click on the graph to increase the size.)

This is unprecedented. The 'experts' at the FED are making it clear: they have only one policy remaining: inflation. This is hyper-inflation.

Feeding the ducks at Sea World

Violet is feeding the ducks. When he eats out of her hand, she is very pleased. Notice in the expressions below.

Sea World

Violet and Pippi

Alyssa and Tavia used to watch Pippi Longstocking when they were little girls. Today, they found it on youtube and showed it to Violet. Violet loved Pippi and after watching it, she said to Alyssa, "Some day I go there."

Is the dollar "soaring"?

Rogers: Rampant inflation will be unleashed around the world

I love the way Jim Rogers acts so annoyed at the questions he is asked. It is like, "You people just don't get it." This is a good video. He says he has an enormous amount of cash and he is using it to buy more Swiss francs and Japanese yen. And, he says the guys at the G7 meeting should just go down to the bar and have a beer and leave the rest of us alone. Trying to fix this mess, they are releasing an "inflationary holocaust" because they don't know what else to do.

The Party's Over

Commentary by Peter Schiff:
Our long ride on the global gravy train is finally coming to an end, and once it does nothing will be the same. The sooner we come to grips with this the better. . . . [W]e must understand that this crisis cannot be cured by governments. . . .

[C]redit is gone because savings are gone. Our shallow pool of savings has been depleted through bad loans, and we can no longer entice foreigners into lending us their available savings. Given that we are already too loaded up on existing debt that we cannot realistically repay, who can blame them for not wanting to lend us more?

The intention of all these daily federal interventions is to keep the credit spigots open so Americans can go even deeper into debt to buy more stuff they cannot actually afford.

McCain Calls Americans 'My Fellow Prisoners'

Funny - Doesn't look like Palin even noticed.

Who are the big spenders?

I don't want Obama to be the next president.
