BERNANKE IS DONE

Matt:

Maybe I’m wrong, but you may have said “Hank” three times and “Ace” not at all. Rubens, Bloomberg, Rubens, Bloomberg. “Hank” critic of procedure, not AIG. Bernanke knows 0-none about U.S. Insurance Industry. What does that have to say about our Fed? Hank once spoke of AIG “methodologies” which gave me hope the Enron “methodologies” would be seen in a more favorable light. Now BLOOMBERG is muddying the waters with Alans and Maurices, Aces and Hanks (not to mention Greenbergs).

See “The Crowd” (1928) The male lead was a “discovered extra” who could juggle very well. Eight years after great fame came to him after release of “The Crowd”, directed by King Vidor, the actor had taken to heavy alcohol consumption and either fell or jumped off a bridge in 1936, killing himself. [He was on a railroad bridge contemplating suicide in “The Crowd” after a series of heartbreaking losses and setbacks, including the death of his child. In the movie, he and his wife appear to have contributed to the death of one of the two children out of extremely bad judgment/discernment]. Casting of the extra-turned-silent-actor-film-star was sublime in retrospect (movie scenes depicting personal and professional failures and missteps and the dogged “‘brothers’ of his bride”).

#43 said besides being a “War” President, he would try (real hard) to get anyone in this country who wanted to work, work (but not necessarily a job). This attitude/talking point was blatantly repeated by a Member of the House this year.

First they speak of jobs and the jobless rate rises. Next they give us unemployment and say: atrophy you SOB. Next they say we are good for nothing and do not deserve federal benefits, but subsidies, like in France and Russia. Next, a party member adds, “does the 47% really matter anyway?”. Finally, like the Titanic, the First Class often are free to jump ship before the “crowd”.

See The Crowd (1928) The lead fell or jumped off a bridge in 1936, killing himself. He was on a railroad bridge contemplating suicide in a scene from The Crowd.

12:42 hummus: Anecdotal: been choosing Pizza and Pasta over hamburgers last few weeks. I shouted out “Calzones. Calzone!” to my wife in the kitchen. I told her the price and she replied “Hot pockets. That’s what Hot Pockets…” “Alright…then get some hotpockets!” I replied.

You two ever heard of the “Generation Gap?” No, I guess not. The last 16 years were very different from my first 16 yrs. (for instance).

Matt, when I saw you look up at the Big Board recently in a medium close-up, it stuck in my mind. You were smiling. As I remember back, you could have been looking up at the cliff. They are all right.

Back to the myth of the Fiscal Cliff…then one day, a man named Howard Hughes was called upon to help in the war effort. Due to his skill and expertise, Mr. Hughes had Defense Contract and a movie studio which gave him cash flows. Lo and behold, he was a “bank”; Congress didn’t see it that way and he built the Spruce Goose to commemorate that particular Era/Episode.
