Greetings from the Hill.

A perfect day in paradise for golfers,
if they likied a lady's course,
silly little 5500 yarder.

Magenta skies through the president's room,
classics from Havana, swaying palms,
the old cat on the console,
the oldman belching on the second pint.

Shopping at the plaza, a busride home.

Living beneath one's means.

A week of watching the voices of turmoil
agitate the roiling markets
and boil the volatility of the VIXX,
amusing how these poseurs of truth
pursue the devil's tongue,
whores of General Electric and NBC,
3 Billion in Iraq electric equipment,
Georgie's Xmas gift.

Another month and the Bushites leave
and the Shittes return...
"Fucking Democratic Capitalism,
same sauce, same patty, same bun,
the price may vary depending
on the cost of shipping,"
hofuckingho Fedex.

"What's 'it' all about, Arnie,"
he never lied,
Jack wore checkered pants,
Tiger sold Buicks,
China's favorite car
and GM closes for the holidays.

Old people are resting in bed
arranging their head
wondering if Goldie Sox
has Santa in a box
of Derivatives to Swap.

"How stupid can the public be,
citizens who voted for denizens
of deceit and default...
trading the Pink Elephant
for a halfwhite jackass,"
fumes the madone
watching a Clinton rerun.

"Tourism is the Number One
business of America," spouts
the CNBC talking tie,
the tits nodding,
Key West business down 30%,
like auto sales,
air flights down 30%
to paradise at McCoy International,
hello daytrippers
and weekends in Cuba.

"Some destinations will do better,
the AARP market will chose
comfort and convenience,
a walk to the store,
a bicycle ride to the beach,
cocktails on the balcony,
dinner in the back garden,
balmy nights in paradise,"
soothes the oldman.

The battle rages in Washington
and Detroit loses to wages,
benefits going to healthcare
and hardone pills,
happy old women waiting
for insurance from AIG...
"Who could have imagined."

Quiet streets without cars,
driving or parking.

Partimers gone north,
houses empty,
no Xmas lights,
paradise lost.

"Seems like old times
before daily greed."

Above the Horn.

Beyond the Reef.

A Rainy Day in Paradise

Greetings from the Hill.

A cool and cloudy day in paradise,
gusting rain with 30 knot westerlies
damping the president's floor.

Classics from Havana, CNBC boasting
it's interview with Jamie Dimon,
"Who tells the truth,"
oozes an asshole gossiper
kissing ass to a 20M CEO.

Ah, yes, a formidable young liar,
experienced in the deceit of Lehman...
had not JPMorgan invented or at best,
sophisticated the swindle
during the Asian central bank ripoff,
added dear Blythe Masters to the coop
of flying Vultures on Air Derivative.

Hofuckingho, selling Hot Air Insurance.

"Erin, you little slut, gushing over Jamie,
your pussy dripping in fantasy,"
growls the madone watching
the talking tits from five to five,
disgusted with the producers of trashTV,
and Jack Welch a guest host

"There is a chance that housing prices
could fall, but it's effect on the economy
will be limited," Greenspan 10/04.

"The use of a growing array of derivatives
and the related application
of more sophisticated approaches
to measuring and managing risk
are key factors underpinning
the greater resilence of our largest
financial institutions....
Derivatives have permitted
the unbundling of financial risks,"
Greenspan 5/05.

"the Market impact of the US subprime
mortgage fallout is largely contained and
the global economy is as strong
as it has been in decades," Paulson 1/07

"It is not the responsibility of the Federal Reserve
nor would it be appropriate to protect
lenders and investors from
the consequences of their
financial decisions," Bernanke 10/07

My heavens, but so much deceit fills
the Recession River it overflows
with Turd Tarps and Tarf rafts,
25 Billion to CITI and JPM,
20 Billion to B/A and Wells,
10 Billion to GS and MS,
3 Billion to Mellon and State...
"Ain't Hank the US Bank,"
growls the madone
as Trillions flow down
this subprime tributary
into the Great Depression River
soon a sandbed.

"Come off this shit, this is America,
nothing lasts very long at all,
a fad, a fashion, a style, a look...
Change on the range, a new pony,
fast cars and slow sex...
marriage two years,"
resisting the truth
of eight years of loss and lies.

Clearing skies in the keys,
lush greenery everywhere,
rain water out to sea.

Recycling sucks,
cardboard down 135/35
plastic 25/2
aluminum 80/40,
and scrap 525 to 100.

At least bicycle.

Above the Horn.

Sleeping in the Fifties.

Greetings from the Hill.

A beautiful day in paradise, looking out..
warm clothes on inside after the chill,
camping out in the fifties at home,
no heating no A/C, pansy things.

"Hey, the tropics, frostfree, never freeze,
no need for antifreeze in the Keys,"
laughs the madone alcoholfree.

Blue skies and palm trees swaying,
perfectly clean windows for the view,
classics from Havana in the west room
with CNBC arguing in the east,
fools with fast answers.

The corporapists driving to Washington
to slum for loans from the representatives
of the taxpaying public who have no choice,
politicians who are experts at DEBT.

GM sales down 41% at 153T last month,
Toyota down 34% at 130T,
Ford down 30% at 119T,
Chrysler down 47% at 85T,
Honda down 32% at 76T...

Imagine the worst month since 1945,
Moody rating a C for GMAC,
Smartnotes looking dumb
but seeking the conversion to banking.

"Hofuckingho, the lameduck fuckup,
Carter for Savings and Loans,
Clinton for investment banks,
that asshole with Rubin and Greenspan
created the financial shitstorm,
and now the Halfwit in seven weeks
will make Hedge Funds full access banks
with 50 to 1 fractional leverage,
GO GO GEORGY PO,"
rants the madone taking a noon pint.

Not a problem, gross income 13Trillion,
against 50T in DEBT,
the stupid government owes 100 Trillion
and the mystery bets in Derivatives,
650 Trillion in the USA and.....
1.25 Quadrillion in the World.

"Now what is a few hundred billion
to save a hundred year old industry,
credit derivatives aren't even twenty,
blame 'it' on Blythe Masters and JP,
hang them from the rafters,"
growls the madone pissed with the Lies.

"Yes yes of course, 'its' all in the VIXX,
the big plays are in options because
of the volatility in the market,
swings of three and four hundred points
within an hour, but the costs are up,"
barking for the Chicago Vultures
trying to keep their monopoly.

"Sorryass shits starting to look confused
about their scripts, GE falling, NBC worried,
CBS and Redstone in disarray and ABC,
and the truth in alphabets...
the Greek of the Geeks has put
Alpha and Beta in Default, all bullshit,
TARP is not enough, add some TARF
for MBS and LDS, initials for Duncedom,"
the oldman was disgusted with FED economists
conned by HedgeHogs...
the looters with short sale shooters.

Idiots in the bedroom gasping on CNBC
over SOC, save our cars and jobs,
but a deal with Getttleberger
who controls the union DEBT,
"My heavens but isn't who is first,
the insurance companies that guarantee
the couterparties, the pools, funny words
for joint ventures, pieces of a DEAL,
a piece of the ACTION,
same old assholes,
all MERCHANTS OF DEBT,
and KKR just fucked BELL CANADA,
some public offering,"
sick of words for numbers.

Blue skies and shiney leaves,
silver roofs and afternoon shadows
with sleeping cats in the sun,
life beyond urgency
and anxiety.

Above the Florida Horn.

Recycle and bicycle.

Retire while you can.
