  1. JB, a ton of the listed firms still rely heavily on health of consumers in US. way market has rebounded and continuing to march upward, it is reflecting things have recovered far more than it really has. the unemployment % is just a bullshit stat cause it excludes all those that have given up looking, under employed,… Things are definitely better than the sky is falling fear when mkt collapsed but it certainly aint troubles are behind us situation.

  2. Thanks, CGar. I nominate arkady to be our alliterist in chief.

    wasder — some N’awlins recs (pre-katrina, so addtional vetting needed): Fritzel’s and the Palm Court for the best old time jazz. Mid-City Lanes (two stages and dacne floors, plus bowling, top line zydeco and cajun). Jazz funerals) look in Times-Picayune for obits declaring jazz funerals).

    Memphis — pick up a copy of Townsend Davis’s book, a tourist guide for civil rights movement history sites in South.

  3. I can bake brownies.

    Boss, as the strong man, please call me with further instructions when all this gets sorted out. I am going to Montreal to a spa and have my secured Verizon Iphone.

    Please call, text or email with further instructions.

    I’ll be calling Mubarek, trying to work that out from the hot tub. Be strong.

  4. cobble- the militia can supply camels. I would recommend however that you invest in tanks and other heavy equipment instead. Camels are notoriously difficult, smelly and unless rob ( the third soldier in our militia) takes up the job of camel-poo clean up, there are no camels.

    I also hasten to point out that the militia remains politically neutral ergo our loyalty can be counted on (as we count our dollars). One dictator is just like another.

  5. “As for m4l, I think the method of torture to be used is obvious. No brownies until he tells all.”

    That’s it! M4L, We’re embargoing all brownie trade with you until you tell all, and confirm that you will cease and desist in all treasonous PLUSA activities! WE’RE WATCHING YOU! : P
